Radiohead in the times today. You can tell Johnny Greenwood is super peeved they wouldn’t let him stand in front with Thom. Here’s an excellent song from the second disc of In Rainbows.

The Fiery Furnaces

Well Grandma, you really let us down. There we were, riding the back-to-back critical successes of Blueberry Boat and EP. Elenor and I thought we could bring you in to throw down a few guest verses without it all going to hell. Figured we both have it, it must be in [...]
Iron and Wine Challenge You To A Beard-Off. Ready, Go! …You Lose.
Posted in Uncategorized on October 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The look on Sam Beam’s face would have you believe that he does not care what you think about his beard. This, however, is a carefully crafted facade. He is deeply invested, emotionally and metaphysically, in what you think of his beard. Disparagement of his beard would cause a substantial piece of [...]
Radiohead: Pansies?

Matt at Hahamusic was bold enough to ask the question all of us have been thinking. Who stole Radiohead’s manly bits? (paraphrase). I want to go show them the overdrive button on their amp, but they know exactly where it is, they’re just being weenies about not using it.
Neutered guitar tone or no, [...]
The Darling Sundays

Australia is such a long, long way away. Which is going to create some obstacles between me dating the brunette girl in the Darling Sundays. I’m nothing if not persistent though. Which is why I’m training a team of koala bears to infiltrate the country and rescue her from the [...]
I Heard That Los Angeles Makes Your Soul Shiny (A Love Story)

T-Pain (a.k.a. Julian Casablancas with a less efficient drum machine) might have ruined my summer, had it not been for Tigra (nee Cars That Go Boom/2) and the two-headed hydra that is Lil-Mama-and-Avril Lavigne(!). Luckily, sonic sunshine prevailed. To say nothing of the demise of ice cream.
She made us [...]
The Go! Team

Whether you spend your days in high-speed car chases, fighting ninjas, or beating up the elderly (guess which one I do??), you’re going to need a suitable soundtrack. The Go! Team, with their ample cheerleader samples, horns, rollicking drums, and pinch of danger-powder, has always done the trick for me. Their new [...]
Like 1000 of Jens Lekman’s Babies
Posted in Uncategorized on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The new Jens Lekman album has hit soulseek, (where it’s on sale for free !) and I haven’t had a chance to let it sink in yet, so the specific number of Jens’ babies I want to have is subject to change. 1000 was just a ballpark. I’m not a machine, [...]
Regina Spektor

I am jealous…..apparently Regina Spektor has beaten me to the punch in recording a song that is based entirely around a melodic hiccup for a chorus… its something I’ve been personally working on in secret for a couple of years now in my room late at night with my thumb piano and my stash of [...]
LCD Soundsystem

James Murphy is such a mystery to me. At times it seems there is little separating the witty speak-sing schtick of songs like Losing My Edge from the likes of Pepper, the Sunscreen Song, or, the recent wienieeisms of Thou Shalt Always Kill. And yet somehow, miraculously he avoids such pitfalls. [...]
