Last week was a good week for shows. I saw Dr. Dog at Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday night, followed by Lykke Li at Le Poisson Rouge on Thursday night.
Dr. Dog was super fun – partly because the night started with two glasses of vodka, the musical stylings of Dani Luv and a very rare steak [...]

Tight White Shorts – revealed
Posted in Music, tagged Fleet Foxes, Julio Iglesias, Linda Perhacs, Okkervil River on August 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The funny thing is, Oliver had originally called the post, Tight White Shirts – a direct reference to a conversation we had earlier in the night. I made him change it because a) I’m a very controlling person, and b) I was afraid the dude that it referenced might google stalk me, see the post, [...]
What the fuck is the deal with the tight white shorts?

Seriously? I’d like to know what the pervs think. Leave some fucking comment. Honestly… do tight white shorts turn you on? Is it because you can possibly see through them? If they get wet with water is there a vague outline of a cock or a vagina? Stop fucking [...]
All my dreams go in the recycling bin

I’ve been dreaming a lot lately. Just floating off into nowhere. I think it’s probably because I’ve been listening to some dreamy music and doing dreamy things.
Rubies- I Feel Electric (TieDye Remix)
It Hugs Back- Other Cars Go
BangGang- It’s Alright
Eluvium- Indoor Swimming At The Space Station
Emily Jane White- Wild Tigers I Have Known
Linda Perhacs says floss your teeth at least once a day
Posted in Music, tagged Linda Perhacs on August 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My friend Asaf shared something really special with me… the music of his dental hygienist, Linda Perhacs. You read right, Asaf gets his teeth cleaned by an obscure 70’s psych-folk singer. We should all be so lucky. I don’t know much about Linda, other than, she put out one album in 1970 called Parallelograms, she [...]

Several years ago, Invincible did a show with Ted Leo & the Pharmacists at the local hole-in-the-wall club (the indispensable Howard’s Club H – may you remain just as beautiful and run-down forever, my son) in Bowling Green, OH, where I was going to school. Thinking hip hop from Ann Arbor was probably about as [...]
Flashback Fridays: The Pogues

The Pogues were formed in 1982 in London. Which is funny because they mainly played Irish music. And if you are old enough to remember, being Irish in London during that time period wasn’t exactly easy with the IRA bombings happening every so often. I got into this band in my later [...]
Different grades of hard things

There’s a certain feeling I get when I listen to certain songs. It can only be described as “feeling hard”. Not hard in a sexual sense. Hard in a fist pumping, smashing glass bottles, punching someone or something, just a stomach churning, rip roaring, fucking angry or just an explosive type of [...]

This is the reason I love a) music and b) “good” people.
The other day I was taking a long stroll along the cyber-sidewalk and came to this site. This may be ol’ news for some of you (why do I always figure I come across this shit 2.3 years late?), but nonetheless it’s was [...]
Eeek!

I just stopped by IWIYW to see if my pals had put new music up and I totally freaked myself out with that Kittiwat Unarrom post. They may just be baked goods, but they’re still effing scary!! I have to post something, just so that bread-head picture gets pushed further down the page.

I figure I’d throw some dancey tunes out there. Electronica. You know you want it.
I never understand why America doesn’t just embrace the guttural sounds of thick ass bass, sharp highs and just nasty crunchy breaks.
