When a band can manage to at separate times evoke Neil Young, Steely Dan, the Flaming Lips, and the Apples in Stereo, and still retain a sound that's all their own, all I can really do is prostrate myself and surrender to their sonic majesty. If that's not enough to convince you, the cover for their new album appears to be some sort of female gunslinger scene embroidered onto something. Freaking marvelous. I invite you to enjoy a couple tracks from Dr. Dog, a band poised to take my top 5 by storm. [...]
by alyssa coluccio During late fall, the beach develops a kind of nostalgia. It hits you in a quiet way, like the lapping of the waves and the gray of the sky, but its presence is strong as July currents and lingering salt-water smells. Walking through now cold sand, it's easy to imagine the distant shrills of children's laughter and how the sun used to make the water sparkle diamonds. If ever a band embodied this feeling of peacefulness and longing, it would be I Love You Sailor . We have [...]
Beaches - Sandy Beaches - Field of Dreams It has taken me AGES to finally hear these babes; I've been hearing numerous and various reports of their absolute vibage and several listens to their new (debut) record proves that their jams are all real choice. Though it does sometimes sweat like a delirious, humid day Australian day, it's not as tropical a sound as I had expected (or as the name might suggest). Or, if yr a Bette Midler fan (or just really into her film Beaches [...]
A Free Man is a busy man this week. So, for the time being, I'll leave you with these images from a more peaceful time (this weekend). --------- Prince's "Sign O The Times" is available from .
Us you and me River sea ocean Moving on so far away and dreaming Quality sea Mix it to ocean... When I looked ahead to having the first two days of this week off, I had all sorts of grand plans. I planned to do an insightful blog post on the collapse of American Capitalism. I had penciled in time to get ahead of my lectures for the remainder of the semester. I was going to read through my students' lab notebooks and make comments on their work so far. I fully [...]
Summer's Over, But... This just in - the Gay beach in Chicago is Hollywood/Osterman Beach. Who knew?
Yesterday's day off really allowed me to be productive in a variety of ways: I finished the first two 'Thank You' care packages, I launched more eBay auctions to help trim the fat from my record collection, I visited a local eatery I have always wanted to try, and took care of at least five other items that were on my mental to-do list. Every day should be like yesterday. I guess it would have been better if I'd gotten a job or something, but that day will come soon, I hope. Being productive with one's [...]

Yes, yes ya'll, we are back. Great time to get our weekly mixtapes back up and running for everyone to enjoy, as I am no longer planning my wedding or on my honeymoon. Yup, Tracy and I have been happily married for two months now, thankyouverymuch ! Here's some new stuff that trickled into our offices or that stumbled blindly into my Google Reader that I couldn't ignore. In this edition: Kings of Leon , Bat for Lashes , The Faint , Houseguest , Jem , [...]
We've been slowly introducing Z to day care over the last couple of months in anticipation of Dr. O'C returning to work. It's been a pretty traumatic experience for both of them from what I hear, an experience probably best left to the protagonists to tell. Suffice it to say that Z is not yet a fan of day care. With Dr. O'C starting work this week it was to be his first full week at kiddie jail, as it's known around the A Free Man household. But Z got a temporary reprieve in the form of a [...]

Last night at about 7.30pm the roads came to a standstill in the centre of Ibiza, Spain but not because of the usual high volume of August tourist traffic. It was the 400 or so protesters sitting in the middle of Vara de Rey street in Ibiza Town that caused the tail back. "Libertad! Libertad! Libertad!" they [...]
Previously, I said that going home was starting to feel like vacation . Well, after a month and a half away I made another trek that pretty much entailed drinking when my body couldn't even handle it with my best friend Jordan (he's a soldier, son!). Anyway, I've realized that I haven't really had a vacation, or been out of the city for more then three days at a time. It's starting to show...constantly feeling overwhelmed, hating work more and more. School starts in less than a month! Shit. Too lazy [...]

I am at the beach, and I just keep thinking about the tales that everyone brought from Europe, and how much I dislike America. How much I dislike being American. Everyone here at the beach, on Long Beach Island, embodies the typical American tourist. And we haven't even left the country. I keep wondering how much the people who work here hate us. We're feeding them lots and lots of money with our stupid yearly rituals. Mini golf. Dinner here and there. Buying this and that. But we're so stupid. I finished Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk last [...]
