More Charlie and Watercolor Paintings

Remember this? Yeah, me too. I’m pleased to announce that Tim has finally come through with that Charie McAlister mix. I was also given a link to download a couple McAlister albums from someone over at Lost Sound Tapes. Don’t know much about Lost Sound Tapes, but through their website I came across the band [...]

Chunky Move

Picture Drift finally posted their New Buffalo video on YouTube. New Buffalo is singer/songwriter, Sally Seltman – she wrote the Feist hit 1234. I tried to post the Picture Drift video for It’s True back here, but the video on their website is the size of a cat’s asshole. Here it is again – slightly [...]

Leave it to the Canadians…

Canadians know what’s up. Jennifer, the very sweet Canadian girl who sublet my apartment, tipped me off to her friend’s band, The Hidden Cameras (what’s the past tense of ’sublet’? ). They’re a little bit Arcade Fire, a little bit Magnetic Fields, a little bit Bronski Beat, a little bit Grizzly Bear, a little bit [...]

Damn it…

Why is it so hard to find a damn roommate right now? The last one I had was the first person that e-mailed me… the first person to look at the place… it was quick, easy and painless. Now, I am about to go on two months with no roommate. I had [...]

Barack Obama & bitches who serve their royalty right….

It’s no secret — I support Barack Obama. Cody ChesnuTT’s “Afrobama” is a great throwback to 70s Afrofunk, and a nice political anthem to boot. It IS a secret — I also like Cody ChesnuTT’s song, “Serve This Royalty Right” (cat’s out of the bag now). Generally speaking, I try not to publicize my [...]

My night with Chan Marshall, John Fahey & Thurston Moore

The first time I saw Cat Power was back in….I guess it was 1998 or 1999. Sometime in there. It was at a small club in the Meatpacking District. I believe it was called, The Cooler (sorry, I’m multitasking and don’t feel like looking shit up right now). If memory serves, Chan Marshall was opening [...]

Tight White Shorts

Well, summer is right around the corner. Although, out here in Los Angeles, it just feels like another day. I suppose there are more fireworks. I did hear a bunch on Sunday evening after the Lakers won. I would have saved them since they probably won’t win another game. I’ve [...]

I want to eat the world (and all its music)

I also want to start dressing like Pocahontas. Sorry I’ve been neglecting my music sharing duties. I hope these songs will make up for it. Straight from Asaf’s record collection to your ears (thanks, dude!).

Novos Baianos- Mistério do Planeta

Busy at work…

But, I still find some time to share some cool stuff. I don’t know how I find the time. Maybe it finds me…
Here are a couple tunes I’m digging.
Your Highness Electric- Man The Doublewise
Your Vegas- In My Head
KaiserCartel- Oh No
And here is a hot hot hot video from Fatboy Slim with [...]

Crime is on the rise…

I don’t know about everyone else in the country. But, I can feel the tension rising around Los Angeles. Over the weekend there were 14 homicides. That’s a lot for one weekend. I’ve been telling people this for awhile. Crime rises when the economy is bad. And you can [...]

It’s been a busy week…

Well, sort of. It’s been a fun week. I did things I normally wouldn’t do in Los Angeles because I had a friend in town. But, I am neglecting.
Here’s a classic video. Hip-hop was sooo much better back then. Still underground. Still not completely in the mainstream. [...]
