Hallo peeps! I so rarely get time to keep my internet journals up-to-date that they are a good measure of when things are a bit slack at work and I get chance to update them! Besides, I get the feeling that I'm probably talking to myself anyway, and hence this is just another way of passing the...
Dear Everyone, It's quarter to 6 in the good ol' AM. I've many things to do today. To let you know, I am starting the day off with Rose, by Menomena, which is a great band I mystically came across a few months ago, via the art of accidental downloading as blamed by ridiculously incorrect labeling....
Britain's music invasion may have happened 40 years ago but the current crop of musicmakers from across the pond are still making major noise if the Top Ten concerts of 2006 in Toronto are any indication. Half of the artists on the list hail from England -- including The Who, who were part of the...
Okely dokely, time for the all important 'best albums of 2007' list. As per last year, this'll cover the albums that did things to me during 2007, not just albums that were released in 2007. I'll also post my favourite track from each to share the goodness. 1. Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box These top...
Okay so below is the poster for Coachella 2008! There are ALOT of really great acts on there! We're still going DESPITE the fact that Jack Johnson is playing. I'm sorry Jack Johnson fans. IMO he's not Coachella material AND hes not headliner material. At least not by Coachella standards. BUT... i am...
This is my first post in months. I got all kinds of busy last semester, and let all sorts of things, including this fine piece of blog, fall by the wayside. All is well now, and I'm about ready to start a new semester. Hopefully, I'll be doing a bit of traveling this semester, including D.C. for the...
Before I get started let's get some things out of the way. I pirate, and I pirate heavily. Soulseek, BitTorrent, MediaFire, you name it. I guess just one thing, apparently. I justify this with the statistic that I pump more than half of my disposable income into independent music. Simply put, cds...
Inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono's historic "Bed-Ins for Peace" 38 years ago, Amnesty International and Warner Bros. Records will create a series of events featuring a variety of artists at music festivals around the world this summer. The events will promote the release of "Instant Karma: The...
Every year, almost religiously and feverishly, I mimic ccritics and come up with my list of 5 best, if not my favorite, movies; not 10 as de rigueur in this industry. I used to review movies in a little known ethnic publication years ago (which made me seem legit) but only started on my blog last...
(originally here) Top 10 Albums of 2007 What better way to bore everyone to tears than post a Best Albums of 2007 top 10, three weeks too late when everyone else already has. I agree! 10. Y.A.C.H.T., I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real* This one needs an asterisk. It took till '07 for me to find,...
Well, I was going to post this imaginatively titled entry into the canon last week but I’ve had a terribly serious case of man flu that has resulted in me loafing around and feeling sorry for myself, and obviously completely incapacitated in every possible way, so much so that I can’t even bring...
I'm not even going to make a comment about this being better late than never, though it's true. Here's a few highlights from last year. In February we sent the cats packing. I took photos of plastic bags caught in trees for a presentation at church for easter After looking around for a while and...
I first came across The Magic Numbers in an issue of either GQ or Esquire Magazine a couple of years ago. The article included a nice illustration of them by artist Zohar Lazar, which is what really drew me to the article. I wish I could find the article, but I can't find it; I may have thrown it...
I've been quiet lately. But sometimes quiet is needed. Life is good. Living with my love out by the beach with our cat and new dog, listening to the waves in the morning and enjoying the rain, which is an entirely different thing by the ocean. I'm up and down on the rain, but when you're listening...
It's simple. I start some lyrics, you write more of them. Google if you want, but like in Kymbee's rules fess up to it if you google beforehand. You don't have to name the band or the song or anything, just throw in some more lyrics and you're good. I'm easy like that. This is the concise version of...
Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he would love to resurrect Ringo Starr's acting career and have him appear in one of his films. Of course he would - or he may have just been telling the Liverpool Daily Echo exactly what they wanted to hear. What next, a gritty action film starring Joey Boswell...
My first indie love song recommendations are actually covers ... An interesting choice, you might say, but the truth is that I have a ton of song files to go through and these three popped up early in the list. ;-) Now I happen to dig cover tunes, as it's always interesting to hear a fresh...
5.RADIOHEAD – In Rainbows This is Radiohead’s most straightforward, organic-sounding album since The Bends. It finds the band shedding melodic, accessible songs, a departure from the computerized music of previous three albums on Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail To The Thief. A gorgeous, if understated...
The Black Negro decided it wanted to act up this morning. (Actually I'm sure I pressed a button or something while putting him in pocket or something but whatever.) When I put him in the dock on my desk this morning and hit play it had started over at song number one in the playlist. Since it's a...
