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 […]

Warner Bros. Attempts to Make the Worst… Mash-up… Ever!!

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 […]

Sufjan and Sam Beam Holding Hands Waxing Nostalgic.

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

What happens when two super indie folk pop heads unite and have a show in New York City? Did the walls of Webster Hall become so soaked with estrogen, they tenderized and fell in on themselves, leaving one humungous hipster oil spill into the streets of Manhatten, and thus ruining counltess others day as they […]

(Fixing) Kicking Television

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I went out and bought me that Wilco Live album everyone is talking about yesterday, and when I got home I was mostly pleased. Sounds a whole heck of a lot better than these bootlegs of live shows (duh) I’ve been clutching on to for the past few years. I had only one […]

Radio Dept.

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

The Radio Dept. are back again, well they never really went anywhere, it just takes a long time for their albums and EP’s to float across the vast Atlantic Ocean, at least its not the Pacific. Anyway, I found another EP of theirs Pulling Our Weight, which was released fairly recently on the very […]

And one day the tail catches you.

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Occasionally, ok at least once a month, I get really sort of disguisted with music. The trivialness of it all, I know I spend way too much time thinking about it, researching it, spending money on it. Probably better spent learning a computer language, investing in some sort stocks, or even reading a […]

50 Cent Vs. Kanye West: The Plot Thickens

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

With the release and collapse of 50 Cents second album…. umm I can’t even remember the name; he has been lashing out on everyone, looking for a reason it sucked. Whether its blaming the hand that fed him, Dr. Dre, for not giving him enough studio time with his mastery, his own crew The […]
