The Jens Lekman Commercial

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I often go back and forth between why I should or shouldn’t be blogging, and what’s the purpose, or you know who really cares in the long run. I guess I should think of the purpose as follows, if I hear or see or read something that catches my eye I should write about. […]

Radiohead Cancels Show in Amsterdam

Friday, May 12th, 2006

Unfortunately Radiohead had to cancel their second show at the Heineken Concert Hall, due to family bereavement. It seems Phil’s mother passed suddenly, and made the correct decision to go home and be with his family. Thoughts and thoughts go out to Phil and his family.

UPDATE: Other completely unrelated Radiohead news, Thom […]

So You’re Graduating from College…

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

It’s that time of the year again, the trees are bursting with polleny goodness, eyes are itchy with the anticipation of new spring time love, and the 22-24 year olds freak the fuck out with “what am I going to do now?” syndrome. Assuming you are like me this will be the first time […]

New Neil Young Project Coming Soon!?

Sunday, April 16th, 2006

So we all know Touch That Dial hearts harvest man, Neil Young, but my friend just linked me with an article that he just recorded a scorching new album entitled Living With War, that is basically a frying of the Bush administration. The project includes a 100(!) voice choir, and a “rap” […]

I only write about six bands, and I will continue to write about these bands over and over again.

Monday, March 27th, 2006

One of these bands I enjoy writing about is Leisure, a band Pitchfork dubbed one of five bands to watch back in 2004, but has since been unable to really pull things together. (That Jeff Tweedy might have been on to something with that Late Greats song). Anyway it appears Jed, from Leisure, has […]

Sons and Daughters is alright.

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

The jury is still out, but after watching the first two episodes I would say that ABC’s Sons and Daughters is a super duper show, they get bonus points for no laugh tracks, and they have a pretty cool theme song there, with Cheap Trick’s Surrender. Beats the heck out of that other show […]

Proud Member of the Arctic Monkey’s Backlash

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

I remember reading a few weeks back a major puff piece in the New York Times (I would link the article here but NY Times decided to make us pay for their special brand of urban open minded closed mindedness) about the Arctic Monkeys, something that they will eventually matter more than Picasso or something […]

Kids Rock Out With Roseanne…

Not really much can be said beyond, what the eff is this? Note to parents: Do not let your child rock anywhere near this woman!

Slarafflenland

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Slarafflenland are part Swedish and part Danish, so that initially was enough for me to like them, and then I heard “Cockaigne”. The appreciation took a step forward. The only way I can describe Slaraffenland using my handy “Music Critic Adjective Lexicon”, which is approximately 8 pages, would be Radiohead’s The National […]

Oh.. You’re So Generous Jens!

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Last month we find out about the greatness of Jens Leman, the following week we find out he is quitting music (sort of), and now he’s giving away his three tour EP’s for FREE on his site. These were beautifully packaged limited edition EP’s that are all currently sold out (Did I say limited […]
