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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is Going to Hurt: Touch That Dial’s Views on Rolling Stone

Friday, January 27th, 2006

I’m not sure why people start writing blogs, or why I even started writing a blog, but I’m pretty sure some have ambitions of getting snatched up as some sort of underground knowledgable writer, that went against the system to become a distinguished rock n’ roll journalist for Rolling Stone or Spin or someone of […]

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Built to Spill is back!! Armed with guitars rifles and melody bullets. rock. And apparently Warner Bros. has already filled up the file sharing networks with the full version of the album, with one addition, the name dropping of fellow Warner Bros. labelmate Mike Jones periodically throughout the album. Ohhh, Warner Bros., Looney Tunes […]

Rogue Wave, you Rogue devil

Monday, January 9th, 2006

I saw Rogue Wave a few weeks back at the Bowery Ballroom, I like Rogue Wave, but for some reason seeing them live was kind of a let down. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but they still write really good songs, like this rarity, called “Eyes”, which previously I have only seen […]

Who Is Jens Lekman??

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

And why isn’t he bigger than Sufjan!? Sirius radio’s Left of Center has a channel plug that goes something like “The current indie capital of the world is Omaha Nebraska,” cue clip of Cursive, to Bright Eyes, “and if that changes we will let you know, blah blah Left of Center” Well maybe if […]
