Yesterday I was up on my garage roof, getting my ass blistery, when the idea came to me to review the three most recent albums on emusic.com which I figured would be kind of random but give me the chance to present something to you that is completely fresh; however the first two albums [...]

Tony and Carol Dale I guess I should have been reading the updates on Caring Bridge, but I stopped doing that. I stopped doing that because it was too upsetting. Like as if somehow, if I didn’t read them, things would change but then an e-mail appeared the other day on Terrascura from [...] I’ve been to Lollapalooza. At least twice that I remember. I remember it being hot, muddy, aggro-hippie commerce central. I wasn’t wise enough to heap full helpings of disdain on the spectacle like I could now, and I will say that until this weekend, the thought of throwing sunscreen on and standing on concrete [...] I came across this Metafilter post this week about XTC and decided it’s probably time that I talked about them here. My introduction to XTC was via the video to “Senses Working Overtime” which I saw on MTV in that brief window when they were still trying to figure out what was going to [...] There used to be this concert show on PBS called PBS On Tour. I used to watch it on Saturday nights after getting off work at the Baskin Robbins when I was in high school. That was where I first heard Morphine and Cibo Matto.

I think they had more real fun this way anyway –being that they really didn’t get along all that well [...] OK, I’m going to try to be very narrow in my critique here as I generally don’t like to rag on stuff in my writing. So, let’s just right-off-the-bat start with the qualifier that I’m going to skirt the issue of the aesthetic value of the particular bands in the video below. Let’s assume [...] Here’s what it’s come to: I spent $8 on this CD tonight. Look it up. It’s $4 on iTunes. I paid a $4 premium for it. At Bull Moose on Middle Street. I love the place but I had no idea I loved it that much. Why did I do that? I’m asking [...] I don’t have much to say this week, so I’ll tell you what I’ve been listening to lately: Channel 60 on XM. Soul Town. Every time I put it on, I forget why it was I changed it. In particular, I dug this track I heard yesterday as me and the family were leaving [...] |
