I've always liked documentaries. I don't know if it's because you get a more direct angle from the director or because there's more "truth." - don't include Michael Moore's opinionated Fox news/entertainment stye. There was this heart warming/inspirational feel from Young@Heart. The small Arbor...

[This conceptual journal entry is best digested while listening to the complete album "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips. The musical and lyrical genius of this progressive/alternative group challenges the status quo and they've become successful on their own terms, inspiring...

Today's selection is L'Autrichienne by Jucifer. It released earlier this year to little fanfare (the band only recently even got its own page on Wikipedia lol), although much like their last LP it reviewed pretty well (in some surprising publications, I might add). For those not already aware,...
So everyone is Glastonbury-ing. There's is a lot of really really good stuff this year, but none of it on the main stages which I think is better in a way. It's interesting to see the difference in ticket buying behaviour this year. After last years' crap sound, crap weather and crap provisions for...

Nouvelle triste du front saint-gillois : le serveur ex-CCC a été arrêté par la police. Il aurait repris des activités terroristes. Moi, je l'aime bien, et j'espère qu'il sortira bientôt. Nouvelle ni triste, ni gaie : après l'insomnie, c'est l'hypersomnie. Peut-être qu'il existe des lois...

These reissues are in deluxe digipaks, usually with an extra CD. These Deluxe Editions are really targetted towards collectors, casual fans might be happy with...
That title looks like a mathmatical equation for good music. Speaking of good music, I have been rediscovering much-loved tunes from years past. Specifically, I've been crawling out of the symphonic indie-hole I've been wallowing in for the past 6 months or so and listening to gritty, passionate...
Coachella: something of a logistical nightmare, with us being stuck in the horrendous 10E traffic for about... oh, five hours or so? Add on an extra hour trying to park, and the end result was, we missed out on all but 2 of Jesus and Mary Chain songs. But, one of those two was 'Just Like Honey' and...
KAAAAAAAAA-BOOM! I GOT TICKETS!!!!!!!!! Saturday, July 28th. omfg! 14 year old me is jumping out of my 25 year old skin right now. Unfortch, Zac + Trevor weren't so lucky. I guess they sold out in like, 10 seconds. :( :( :( I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, you have no idea. Smashing...
Today I was walking to the grocery store to go buy some stuff for lunch and I saw a mother and her ducklings in the water looking for food to eat. At first I thought it was really cute because I'd never really seen a mother and her ducklings together like that except for things like the zoo or in...
i fell in love with Steveo in the rain at Merriweather Post and i asked him to marry me at Prospect Park's Steady show. i think together we have seen hundreds when we drink, we all fall in love....

It is 90s Music Monday, right? Had these tracks loaded since last week but never found the right time to post.....and since its Monday and I'm feeling even more lazy than normal...I give you these. I don't think I've even seen the movie...but I love these 2 tracks. First up...the one I like the...
Sweet show at a perfect venue for The Album Leaf. Maxwells is a very small, historic, iconic venue for the grassroots indie bands as well as the powerhouses, such as Sonic Youth and Bright Eyes who still book shows at the pseudo-arcane joint in Hoboken. Alas, you would correctly assume that the...
