I've finally left Illinois. Silly me I thought Des Moines was on the Mississippi so I was overcome with joy to find myself crossing the river much sooner than expected. Iowa however is one nasty short and squat little state. I should warn you that Interstate 80 takes a turn at Des Moines so if you...
I don't quite know how this is going to be received here but I have to make comment on the current fracas on the photographic exhibition in Sydney that has the wowsers excited. Welcome back to the 60s. In those days art, or anything else for that matter, could be subjected to police raids if 1...
When I returned to Denver from San Francisco, I took the RTD SkyRide bus to the Market Street Station ($9, instead of a $50 cab ride), and walked the 2 miles home. I had the iPod on shuffle, and then continued it on my bike ride to work this morning. (50 degrees at 9 AM- yippee!) This shuffle was...
Wow. You read. You discussed. You reacted (some more strongly than others -- yes, I'm talking to you Alan). Thanks for all the E-mails. I'm a bit surprised that no one commented on the video. I guess it's "hilarious" in a late 90s viral video kind of way. I guess I'll always be a sucker for bloopers...
(photo by Marina Chavez) There were two opening acts on Saturday night, which comes to either one or two too many opening acts. I know I’m grumpy about openers and that’s no doubt either ironic or hypocritical because one of my favorite bands, the Tarbox Ramblers, were discovered as an opening...
I’ll move through the various Saturday night escapades using small steps; there were far too many interesting things to include in one post. The back story is this: I bought four tickets to the New Pornographers show at the 9:30 Club in D.C. X wasn’t too interested in going so I was on my own. I...
There are a bunch of scantily-clad model types on chorus risers – each fondling a silver briefcase. What do you do? Not only that, you’ve got crazy Howie Mandel freaking out in your face; you’ve got your crazy ‘family’ telling you to go just one more round. It’s amazing. This isn’t so...

One of the best albums of last year was Okkervil River's The Stage Names. It was by far their most complete album, lyrically and melodically, and was also their most successful album to date. One of the side effects of having such a highly lauded album, is that people want to perform your material....

Brownback is apparently exiting the race. Here’s a blurb from the news: “In the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted October 12-14, Brownback was the top choice of 1 percent of the registered Republicans polled. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 5 percent.” It’s...
So, 6A decides that since they want to put their company stocks on the market, it might help the sale to 'clean up' LJ so no special interest groups freak out at the porn on their server. So they engage in some retarded deletions over Memorial Day. People toss their shit for five days....
Absolutely rocking my face/aforementioned socks off! Stream the entire album at www.pastemagazine.com The best new/indie/fantastic music magazine around in my opinion. The "Paste Station" always has a huge assortment of great tracks worth checking out even if you have to sneak stream it at work...
Although the latest album from Vancouverians, The New Pornos, didn't impress quite as much as it's predecessors, it did showcase some pretty dang good songs, the best of which is "Myriad Harbor." It's one of the songs that features the vocals of one of 50 of NP members, Dan Bejar aka Destroyer, who...
When asked what my favorite genre of music is, I answer one of two things depending on my mood – soul and indie power pop. What is indie power pop you ask? Aside from catchy hooks and great melodies, I don’t really know. But I can name some of my favorite purveyors – Spoon, the New...

Originally, there was nothing that really stood out for me on this disc, but I have to admit this song is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the whole New Pornographers oevre. Besides, they use "deus ex machina" in a lyric. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. You an' me, Sixy, we're goin'...
