2010: Portrait of a Listener

Dec 22, 2009, 7:13am Pretty Goes with Pretty
As I mentioned yesterday, my attention this year, as far as music goes, has been diverted in a variety of ways. Doing a 2009 playlist seemed to miss the thrust of what my year was all about (and probably redundant with every other blog out there); doing a collection of old yet new-to-me stuff would have missed all the music that wasn't new to me that I spent so much time with.

Sep 15, 2008, 7:58pm I ♥ Noise

Squirrel Bait - 1984 Demos & 1987 Interview

Sep 9, 2008, 12:54am Swan Fungus
Squirrel Bait - 1984 Demos & 1987 Interview "The first time I got to hear SQUIRREL BAIT was through a friend who had a copy of the Wailing Ultimate compilation, this was many years ago now but I never forgot how much we'd loved 'Sun God'. Their records always seemed impossible to comeby until around ten years back when I picked up Squirrel Bait which saw a reissue through the Drag City sub label Dexter's Cigar. They also repressed Skag Heaven although the "Motorola" / "Clodburst"' seven-inch still remains buried. Anyhow. the lineage of the 'Bait reads like a who's who of indie rock [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE - VOLUME 64

Apr 29, 2007, 11:59pm Swan Fungus
Greetings from Covington, KY - home of...that White Castle half-a-block away from the plush hotel room in which I'm currently situated. After a ten-hours-plus drive, I am relaxing on a couch, sipping a bottle of Bell's Cherry Stout. There's another bottle of beer (Goose Island Bourbon Stout) on ice, waiting for The Sopranos to start. A very surreal feeling engulfed me today as I followed the exact same route I took during the first day of my cross-country trip in July of '05. At times, I could predict the way the roads bent. The [...]
