The Bloated Pop Rock Act Vs. The Bloated Indie Rock Act

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

So those boys and girls from Broken Social Scene are back with a new self titled album, with the number of band memebers standing at 12 strong. I saw them play live twice, two years ago with Metric in Philly, and last December at the Bowery, and both times I was pretty much taken […]

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

So you’re a relatively small band, thats been around for a few years, finally building yourself enough national attention to mount your very own nationwide tour. Imagine your excitement, you wake up the first day tickets go on sale, and see that they are selling out with in hours. Then you realize its […]

Where are you now Ronald Jones?

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Last night, after I got disgusted with the VMA’s, as I’m sure most of you did, I decided I would watch the new Flaming Lips Rockumentary “Fearless Freaks”, while doing so they only briefly mentioned and passed over one of my favorite lip, Ronald Jones. I believe he was single handedly responsible for the […]

This Mash Up Shit Has to Stop.

Friday, August 26th, 2005

A few days ago I posted a review for the Sufjan Steven’s show at the Bowery last Friday, in said blog posting I stated that it would be cool for Kanye West to sample Sufjans, “Zombies, blah blah blah”, upon posting I received one comment from Josh at Blogs are for Dogs (which is […]

An Evening with Katrina Kerns.

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

I went to the Sufjan Steven’s show last week at the Bowery Ballroom, like many of the rest of you, and not to dwell on a subject that I have already previously spoke about, I had a wonderful time. Such a wonderful time in fact I did not want it to end. Being […]

Animal Collective, Free Spirited Pop or A Spiraling Mess?

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

Proof that music is a tricky little bag to tag, the recent success and subsequent popularity of Animal Collective is baffling, at least to myself. Very seldomly will you catch someone standing on the street humming a tune to “Who Could Win a Rabbit”, most of their songs are unhummable (yeah, I made up […]

Death to the Album?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Warner Bros. records has released a statement that may just be the death of music the way we know it presently, or the way commercial music is known presently, or the way music execs think music is known presently because in actuallity its something different from that entirely. You may know that the album […]

Neil Young Signs On.

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Yesterday had a rather cryptic permalink containing the words “Neil Young Signs On” and “Death to the Album”, I unfortunatly didn’t get time to write about either of those yesterday, so here it goes for today. (”Death to the Album” will come later)

Apparently Neil Young has decided to stay the course with his long […]

Wilco Experiments with the Cowbell!

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

In my constant search through the bit torrent jungle of all things wilco, my morning jacket, and neil young, I came across this precious little nugget, performed by Wilco back in November of 2004, in Tempe, AZ. They apparently closed the show with a rocking rendition of “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” No reports on […]
