A few weeks ago, as an aside to his post on R.E.M., Danny included a bit of conjecture about what an updated classic rock station might sound like:
But a tangential question that he raised was, “I’m very interested in seeing who ends up being remembered as our Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or Beatles” [...]
Two weeks ago, I reviewed a number of possible Lala replacements, and on May 31st the best music site ever shut down as promised. As part of the shut down, Apple gave everyone who had purchased 10-cent Web songs an iTunes gift card. Because Apple rounded up to the nearest $5, I got a [...]
This one is ladies only.

On May 31, the Lala music service, which valiantly attempted to be your full-service iTunes in the cloud, will go off-line. Presumably, the reason they’re shutting down is to make room for an authentic version of the service from Apple itself. Apple bought the company last December, and since then there has been hopeful [...]
At the tail end of this post, I mentioned it was my new habit to blog the best tracks I hear on my daily, random walks with my dog Hank:
I’ve been buying less new music and trying to really listen to the music I already have: those 27,000 songs stuck on my hard [...]
Last night, I tweeted / facebooked the following:
New music is great, I guess. But not one damn thing, since it came out, comes close to “Gimme Shelter.” Everyone ought to be ashamed.
The song came on the player, and I just wrote what I felt. Immediately after I wrote it, I said to [...]
Covered in Annie’s post earlier this week, Jonsi bats leadoff in April’s NAPcast. Sorry it’s a bit late (once again).

Good news! I know I promised an Eagles post this week, but the more I thought about it, the more I dreaded writing it. I did a load of research, listening to all the old songs… and I hate them. In fact, this is the real reason you can be sure the Eagles are [...]
Christmas of my sophomore year, I stayed up late trying to tape the Eagles’ cover of “Please Come Home For Christmas” off MIX 96.5. They said they were going to play it. But it never came on. It was for a mix tape I was making. For a girl that I liked. Because [...]
Sort of bummed to hear Supergrass broke up. After 17 freaking years. They were always a band I wanted to like more than I actually did or could. They had that great first record with the three fantastic singles everyone seemed to know. “Caught By the Fuzz” was pretty fucking unavoidable. That was followed [...]
