So yes, I have a myspace, and no I don't really use it much. One thing I hate are those dumb bulletins. However, one arrived the other day that caught my eye. I read it and I couldn't help but smile. It made me feel all giddy inside. I might have posted it before, but ohwell, I'm posting it again. I...
In my continuing quest to listen to everything, once in a while I happen upon something that I really wish I'd known about when it came out. The latest of these revelations is ManBREAK, a British group often compared to Rage Against the Machine. It's true that there are elements of RATM in their...
Recently, I've been obsessing over the 90s, because the 90s were just so PERFECT. Or, at least I thought it was. From what I remembered from the 90s, everything was decent and lacked profanity. BUT I WAS FOOLED. While looking back through my past, and downloading and watching old tv series and old...
A highlight of our trip to Maryland last week was seeing Peter Murphy in Baltimore, though the less said about the club (and the opening act) the better. The last time we saw him as a solo act was at the 9:30 Club in 2004, when he was being forced into the old tour-to-promote-album-sales paradigm,...
Where have you gone, Eagle-Eye Cherry?: A tribute to terrible late '90s hits The Onion AV club has put together a collection of awful radio-pop from the late 90s. And I know every single one of them like the back of my hand. Someday this will make me really cool, like when they release the "AWESOME...

Mrs. V. and I are big fans of Zero 7; that is, of the Zero 7 songs that they did not invite Sia Furler to vandalize with her breathy, pouty, "ghetto twee*" vocal stylings. Verily, she is the Jar Jar Binks of downtempo. We're okay with the other guest singers, but it's the Fender Rhodes-laden...
Been a cool summer so far in Seattle, but I’ll be stepping directly into the lovely dry heat in Salt Lake City this weekend.
Back in 1996 I was in love with a song that was basically a celebration about being a gold digger. Check the chorus: Tell me your name ('Cause I wanna know) What car do you drive (Tell me where can we go) How much money do you make (How can I be down) As long as you have (I'll be around) At barely...

The first song name checks a band, and the second is the band that gets name checked. Yeah, I am running out of ideas.
care of allhiphop.com 88-91 92-95 ^^^^^ This should be a credited class. Bonus points to any lady that checks this out.... its like a chill with the Johntourage Pre-Req.
Sorry, no music from me today (surely Vu will add some to the post?) but a heads up for all the UK readers. Play.com are currently running a Best Of The 90s sale with albums and best-ofs from some of the best bands of the 90s from only £2.99 shipped. $6 in the US might get you a new album, but here...
or just plain "breaks," as I was last time: The Prodigy is generally considered to be the definitive breaks act, and they have been the most visible, thanks to several videos centered around frontman Keith Flint's evil-clown persona. But Prodigy mastermind Liam Howlett's music underneath Flint's...
Since I've put up two songs from Peter Hope's post-Box career, I should really put up something from the band that put him on the map. (You know, my map.) The Box was formed by the original ClockDVA instrumental lineup after being fired by bandleader Adi Newton; Peter Hope won the spot as their...
a tune i'm loving all over again from one of hip-hop's golden eras (rawkus, company flow, hi-tek, pharoah monch, all thanks to murdoch moola) when a glimmer of a black star hope fizzled into a rap wrap. dashed dreams! shocking how far mos has fallen off since. at least kweli continues to make good...
thanks to imeem's on-demand track listening, i've been on a 90s music kick. however, i am learning today on last.fm that just entering "90s" as a listening tag is nary enough to dig up the good tunes. right now i am being punished with backstreet boys and alanis morrissette. i was already...
There's this famous club in Montreal called Metropolis. Been around since Michael Jackson had an afro. Circa 1995, they used to have these big latin-salsa nights every Thursday night in the summer. My friends and I used to go quite regularly because the music was always amazing. One night, my crazy...
Item 1: Mrs. Veneer buys Ryuichi Sakamoto's CD of solo piano pieces, BTTB. It's quite beautiful and Sakamoto mostly avoids the New Age clichés that plague so many piano CDs. Some of the pieces are obvious homages to classical works, such as "Opus," which evokes the Gymnopédies of Erik Satie: Item...
I've been in a 90s hip hop mood lately. It's been a cross divide between the early (happier) sound of things like Pete Rock and DJ Premier productions. The other end of the spectrum is that grimey, hide-your-chains-because-the hoods-are-coming-out music (like Onyx, Mobb Deep, and MOP)l So this week...
