The tide that left and never came back, is on my mind tonight.
I listened to this track by The Veils on repeat for about 3-4 hours today. I've seen the video a few times on subterranean and it really started to grow on me. It really has that 80's post-punk/new wave renaissance feeling that I've ...
While I am very excited about going to England in approximately a week I am also very excited about something else. Interpol will release their second full length, Antics, on September 27. Turn on the Bright Lights, while only a few years old now, is up on my list of all time favorite albums. I am currently wearing my Interpol ...
I was able to finally get a hold of a copy of The Fiery Furnaces - The Blueberry Boat. It took a few listens of the album but I concur with Pitchfork's review that it is truly an outstanding album. Three artists mainly came to mind when listening to it, at least for my personal experience. The Microphones, Wilco, and ...
I made my weekly stop at Guest Room Records in Norman and found a great new album. I was really looking for the new album by the Fiery Furnaces on the review I read about it on Pitchfork. GRR was out of stock for the second week in a row so I had to look for something else. I just ...
After listening to Graceland yesterday I felt the urge to get some great old albums on vinyl. I had heard about a place called Charlie's on Classen here in OKC so I decided to look it up and see what it was about.
It took me a bit of circling to find the place. It turned out it was ...
I just finished listening to Paul Simon - Graceland on vinyl this morning, what an outstanding album.
When I first was exposed to this album I remember listening to it on cassette with my family. In particular I remember a vacation where we listened to it over and over on repeat. We could sing along with all the songs.
I didn ...
I just picked up the M83 joint that I mentioned in a previous post. It was recently released for US consumption. After several spins today I can say it could possibly be considered by some people (me), as a combination of Daft Punk, My Bloody Valentine, and Broken Social Scene. They are also electronic musicians from France as are Daft ...
I've been very busy at work lately which has been very satisfying. I'm actually getting to write software which is what I love doing and what I went to school for. I don't mind working longer hours sometimes when I'm doing something that I wouldn't even mind doing in my spare time for fun. For ...
I purchased Cocteau Twins - Treasure several weeks ago. I liked a couple of the songs very well initially but I hadn't totally gotten into the album in its entirety until today. I just happened to be in the perfect mood this morning to absorb its beauty. The voice of Elizabeth Fraser is like that of an angel through out ...
I'll tell you what can really get you amped. Drink 2 double espressos, put The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious on the iPod and run 2 miles. I just did that and I felt like I could run through a wall afterwards.
I'm surprised at how much I still like this album from these Swedish rockers. I really appreciate ...
