Tom Petty did kind of have it right – The Waiting IS the Hardest Part. This summer is gonna be all about that, but one thing I discovered in university is that downtime can be pretty damn productive. We used to pull out our hair from boredom in the University of Houston dorms [...]

Heatbreak is a bitch. It arrives like a death – taking away everything that means the world to you and leaving you trapped between what you want and what you cannot change but wish you could. I’ll be honest, I haven’t been a very good bandmate over the last few years because music is often about [...] OK, so one of the bands that people always try to sell me is Steely Dan. I’ve at best thought them to be pleasant but for the most part find it to be glorified oldster music. Dig up any kind of Steely Dan appreciation post and you will find something similar to this except [...] You know every once in a while when searching on the internet you get a weird result. I can’t even recall what I was searching for that got me to this result but it was one of those moments where you kind of had to follow through and see if it was just as [...] I was gonna write something about how rough it is to find time to devote to music as you get older but ended up nixing the original because it came off too whiny.

Dig it Oh and here is what the 7″ looked like… Oh and a guy who dresses [...] I was working on an interview with a local band for the Free Press and some elements of the music reminded me ever so slightly of two of my favorite 90′s bands – Rodan and Tsunami – not a lot but just enough to spark a vague question about those bands to the interviewees. [...] It’s been a good week for listening to Frightened Rabbit – their melodic Scottish ennui is the perfect anecdote for a week like mine. Here’s an acoustic alternate version of the lead track from their newest album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks. It’s a lovely song… Frightened Rabbit – Things (Alternate) But like all [...] Have your bagpipes or your nearest “Taps” playing bugler at the ready folks! I’m not sure if everyone heard about this but an HD broadcasting deal was announced between Pacifica and Rice University (link). KTRU will stay on the air! Wooo…ummm…. Oh wait it’s in the less widely used HD signal and it’s on [...] |
