i am trying to break your heart

Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns.... I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart

Leaving Outside Lands on a High Note

Bon Iver's music is not exactly light hearted so I wasn't sure how it would fit in a festival setting, but it was breathtakingly beautiful. I'm always worried slow music will be a "downer," especially mid-afternoon, but his voice and the silent worshipping crowd made it as moving as Sunday church....

Wilco ending day 3

I guess there's more later. But this is it for me.

I had a Lolla, Lolla fun

Well, it's over. I meant to post a recap of who I saw on Saturday yesterday morning, but I got sidetracked; and I've been in bed feeling like rubbish all day today. Not sure whether Lollapalooza's to blame or some other source of lurgee, but I can at least see straight now. So, Saturday. We got to...

Vox Hunt: My Favorite Band

Share a song from your favorite band. They're not my favorite (I don't think I have a favorite band), but I like these guys, and .... they are right outside my office building today!

Lollapalooza: Day 2

I'll spare you the shots of my horrible sunburn. It was so hot that putting sunblock on my face didn't work as well as I had hoped...today I'm wearing a hat. And a burka.

Lollapalooza's here!

It's hard to believe that it's already August, and odd that I'm attending my second Lollapalooza since moving here. Crazy! Yesterday, after an oddly productive morning at work, I left the office to meet Jess for lunch then headed to meet our friend Josie. She's in town to join in with the...

what light?

If you feel like singing a song, and you want other people to sing along Then just sing what you feel, don't let anyone say it's wrong And if you're trying to paint a picture, but you're not sure which colors belong Just paint what you see, don't let anyone say it's wrong And if you're strung out...

QotD: Looking Back...

What part of your childhood do you miss the most? Submitted by Maretta. I miss the innocence I've known, woohooo yeah, playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned. I should see if I can answer all the QOTDs for the rest of the week with song lyrics.

Banda sonora do dia

Depois de the Ting Tings, escolhi Wilco para me acompanhar. Fiquem com uma música que traduz o que eu quero sempre dizer ao meu querido Pedro: On and on and on we’ll stay together yeah On and on and on we’ll be together yeah You and I will try to stay together yeah On and on and on we’ll be...

yada yada yada

I was recently asked to compile a mix CD of Wilco songs, and I learned from the endeavor that the box office manager of the 9:30 Club is a total prick. But hey, the mix turned out pretty fucking great.

Good music is in the air.

Although I've had the record for a while, last week I just started to pay attention to Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. It's a great album and everyone should go listen to it. I can already tell that it's turning into my "summer album". Every summer it seems that there is an album that...
