This week’s guest post comes to you courtesy of Jorge Boehringer/Core of the Coalman. Thanks, Jorge! “Calm down, what happens, happens mostly without you.“ Josef Albers As much as something can be said to exist it can be said to posses form. Form may be determined by the internal component structures of a body, [...] There’s hardly anything I wouldn’t give to be able to turn on music and have the pain go away. When I see people tweeting about how a song turned their day around, it makes me insanely jealous. My reaction to adversity during the day or during a particularly difficult time is to shut off [...] Last week when doing the preview for the Free Press, I ran into a particular listing that just raised my ire. Here’s what I wrote: The Ethan Bortnick dog-and-pony show came to Rice University last weekend. “Ethan Bortnick @ Stude Concert Hall – You know the really crappy middling Saturday night pandering-to-old-people-with-deep-pockets programming [...] 1. I have too many things to parent right now; too many things in infancy. Three days ago I paced the home office for what seemed like a good hour trying to decide which thing to parent along. Amongst those things is: joining a new culture and all that goes along with that (learning [...] So I will be playing the part of Conor this week. Hi, strangers.

It was to [...] Unless you live under a rock, and I have it on good authority that in this bunch, I may actually be the most under-a-rock-living member, then you almost certainly know of the Band of Horses song: The Funeral. It’s catchy as fuck. Their main guy, Ben Bridwell, sings in that falsetto perfected by [...] Here’s some more crap I found on the internet. BBC asks How Musical Are You? My scores were higher than I thought they would be. And I also did another cover song. I’ll probably never understand Dylan. My rotation has a traditional structure and a nontraditional substructure. As I’ve described before, I find moments I simply want to put on repeat. Not whole songs but moments. I’ve always done this. I’ll be the first to admit, to my significant embarrassment, that one of the first repeat moments I experienced was the [...] Let’s face it. In today’s modern world of Western Music it’s hard to get earnestly good bad songs. Now all the bands are too self aware to make asses of themselves in truly glorious ways. Let me show you what I mean. Let’s start off with The Electric Light Orchestra. This is a [...] It’s been a while since I let Ramon take over for me full time, but I’m back tonight filling in for Danny while he’s out of pocket. You might be wondering what I’ve been up to, musically speaking. Or more likely, you are not. Nevertheless, here are your updates. _____ Most recently I’ve [...] |
