In my continuing quest to be as lazy as possible, this week I present you with a collection of links that I have been collecting for a few weeks, interspersed with the very occasional droll comment. If we’re all just going to be downloading music (or worse, renting it in the form of [...] And you thought the hamsterdance was history… s I was going to post an interview with Mr. Jonathan Toubin but I found the exercise too confusing and the mixture of personal and professional questions not fit for public consumption. I called the interview exercise a “slow interview.” I sent him an email with one question and he responded and so on. One [...] Been listening to The Knife all day.

An incredible accomplishment considering how hard it is to maintain an independent label afloat, much less make it thrive over the span of two decades.

A lot of the bands who are or [...] Netflix Watch-It-Now suggested this 1929 Soviet movie the other day, Man With A Movie Camera. The edition I watched has a sound track recorded by Alloy Orchestra with music composed following the notes of the movie director Dziga Vertov. I found it magical and thoroughly modern –a whirl of urban events with [...] I was very into Sloan’s first album, the MBV-influenced Smeared, but was turned off by their sophomore effort Twice Removed and never really got around to listening to them much after that.
