First off congrats to the Kiwis on their America’s Cup win and congrats Craig Biggio for hitting 3000. 3,000 hits may seem like a lot to baseball fans but but I saw Mike Gunn do that on a weekly basis. (insert drum hit here) Last Saturday a corporation, figuring it could sell some [...] I’m in Houston today so that I can do my duty as an old man to see The Police. They won’t be playing Austin, despite Austin’s claim of being the live music capital of the world. This apparently also confuses Stewart Copeland because he misidentifies a view from his Houston hotel room as an [...] Easy-out to writing a post, method 1 – quote somebody else. Here’s Chuck Palahniuk talking about Guts. Relation to music? Very thin. More of it having to do with the fact that this piece of writing feels a bit like some music. Maybe like a Butthole Surferes show. Anyways, here’s Chuck, enjoy. GUTSby Chuck [...] Thursday evening found me at the Hideout listening toRoss and Sam of Hotel Brotherhood perform a short acoustic set. It was a special occasion because Ross doesn’t live here any more. He lives in Marfa, Texas doing a double internship with the Chinati Foundation. He’s recorded in Marfa at Ramona’s friends’ studio.

Generally, being able to visualize things in great detail before they happen is an asset, especially if one works as an architect to make her living. Not forseeing potential pitfalls can result in delays, lack of coordination between trades, change orders, and very pissed off clients. Therefore, I spend a [...] I have landed, finally, back in New Zealand, and none of my plans for this week’s column, neither my mooted part 2 of chaos and control or my also-postulated part 2 of electronic music that doesn’t suck, will come to be this week. I will, however, give you a quick story. As penance [...] Click on the podcast link in the right margin of this blog to hear episodes of the NONALIGNMENT PACT podcasts. If you need help, just ask. Please submit guesses for mystery person’- mystery friend’s-mystery tune in the comments section of this post. Clues may be provided if the song cannot be guessed. [...] We had some visitors last Sunday and we got to talking about bandmates. He described this bandmate as a guy who says the most awful things but then, while still not understanding why he’d offended you, would back down . It was like the guy has a social Tourret’s Syndrome. Given that our visitor [...] Thing One:One of the more spirited conversations in Barcelona happened late on the first night we were there when we began discussing the relative differences between the different types of metal* and the different types of other music genres, specifically indie. Apparently El Conorio had had a similar discussion with his host in Berlin. [...] |
