Monday night Jessie and I saw Bright Eyes, a band that we have had a special affinity for for almost ten years. It was one of the first bands we really started liking at the same time (thanks to a recommendation from friend Tyler, known as The Tyler Forret when this website used to be [...] First few listens, not really feeling it. It’s not bad by any means, but OK Computer and Kid A were so meticulous in the track placement, pacing, songs segueing into each other, etc. and this feels somewhat like eight songs just slap shod thrown together. Right now, after about six listens I think [...] The big news this week was the announcement and quick release of Radiohead’s eighth album, The King Of Limbs. I now have it digitally in my possession to be listened to at a later time. Early reviews from critics have been very positive, while the first reaction from people on a message board I frequent [...] This past weekend Jessie and I got the opportunity to see one of our favorite bands, Pavement, live for the first time. We also got to see Pavement live a second time the next night. We decided to be groupies for a couple of days and follow the band for a portion of of the [...] Jess and I went to the 80/35 music festival over the weekend. It was good!

ANYTHING to make an EXTRA BUCK at ANY [...] Just some good songs because that’s what everyone needs right now. This song is my favorite. Here is a good song by a great band called The Spoons. They have a very good album out now called Transference. It is very good. And very cool. And very recommended. The band is at the 80/35 festival [...] I don’t love Christmas music, especially since I am sick of it by this time of the year. Oh well. I do enjoy it in small doses so here are a few non-traditional Christmas songs I can dig. Also, Sufjan Stevens released a pretty excellent box set of just Yuletide cheer. Buy it here [...]
I have recently confirmed a sneaking suspicion I have had for quite some time. John Mayer does nothing for me musically, but man is he funny. Just look at that picture! (Actually, you probably shouldn’t look. WARNING: CANNOT BE UNSEEN) I think that picture is from the John Mayer Cruise or something like [...] In honor of the tenth anniversary (or thereabouts) of the last time Jerry Seinfeld was funny (Don’t get so upset! He can take it. Have you seen “Bee Movie”? That needs to be sunk to the deepest chasm of the deepest ocean.) I have had a few thoughts recently that made me [...] |
