Stan Bush is een Grote Naam, maar dan een die bijna niemand kent. Als muzikant had hij vooral aan het einde van de jaren tachtig enig succes met zijn band Barrage, maar sindsdien is hij vooral als songschrijver actief geweest....

Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse-Five, amongst others, passed away last night. You might be wondering what that has to do with a music blog, but Vonnegut was a big music fan. In fact, he wrote the following in his last work: If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music. And so in honor of the late great writer, I've put together a compilation based on his [...]

Some good news for a good MLK jr. day.... First off, Pres. Bush is expected to make a u-turn on his global warming stance in his upcoming state of the union address later this month according to senior british officials . Talk about trying to leave a legacy for the history books.... Second, according to israelnationalnews.com: "Excavations being conducted opposite the Western Wall Plaza have uncovered an aqueduct that brought water to the Holy Temple, as well as a ritual bath from that period." Temple Aqueduct [...]

Let me take you back to a simpler time, a happy time, before the nightmare of GWB, when all we had to worry about was the OJ trial taking forever. It was a time when indie.mom was graduating from high school and learning about the wonders of music outside of the Top 40. The year was 1995. Kevin Smith, auteur du jour, released Mallrats , his second film and follow-up to the brilliant Clerks. That year, we had somehow managed to talk our photography teacher into letting us watch Clerks in class, unedited, and [...]

Happy New Year? Saddam Hussein, a US friend warmly welcomed , embraced , coddled , tolerated , maintained , encouraged , scolded and punished , isolated, invaded , antagonized, attacked, over and over again , and finally, after having done outlived his usefulness to the US, executed.

Finally, US gov. documents 25 years old and older will be automatically declassified on December 31st of this year. That is in ten days and counting! And for those that hate Clinton , it was during his administration that this limit was put in place, a rule that has been surprisingly upheld by the current Bush-ians in Washington. Automatic declassification had "given advocates of freedom of information a real lever", according to Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive . This new automatic declassification schedule coincides nicely [...]

With electro remixes of alternative songs becoming all the rage, I'm of a mind to post a little throwback to the days of house music's uncontested reign over the European continent. Okay, fine . . . those days aren't over, but before Röyksopp and Erlend Øye grabbed the torch and began ice skating across the fjords with it, there were the Café del Mar compilations. In addition to being required listening by every person I've ever met who wore Diesel shoes, these albums clearly started the trend that remixers across the globe are now [...]

This is one of the best videos I've seen online in the last week or so. Basically, some guy who is most likely Australian plays the four chords in "Don't Stop Believin'" and sings a number of pop songs that use the same chord progression over it (D A Bm G, I believe). Most of them are cheesy 90's pop ballad-type songs. Call me crazy, but I loved when he went from The Calling's "Wherever You Will Go" to Bush's "Glycerine" to Five for Fighting's "Superman". I also cringed when I heard the chorus line to [...]

Gratuitous "look what I did yesterday" post, but it was a balmy 78 degrees here, an absolutely gorgeous day to visit our fantastic Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for the first time. These pics I took of the animals made me laugh. Thought they might make you smile too. Loosely correlated tunes at the end. " At The Zoo " - Simon & Garfunkel [...]
Während man sich fernab unserer MEZ beim Exit Poll über Sieg und Niederlage Gedanken machen möchte, gehe ich schon wieder ein Schritt weiter östlich. Wo doch eigentlich alles ganz schön sein kann, singt Aaron Schroeder aus dem Staate Washington längst verblichenen Lieben hinterher. Lullatone dagegen halten davon gar nichts und schicken uns mit ihren "lullabies" in ihre Welten voller Träume. Was die Liebhaber entzückt, entsetzt die Verlassenen. mp3: Aaron Schroeder / A Movin' Movin' Train mp3: Lullatone / Wake Up Wake Up mp3: Lullatone / Bushman's [...]
Despite this morning's wankerism from DCCC chair Rahm Emmanuel , another four years with a Republican govenor & the prospect of turncoat Joe Lieberman becoming the Senate's swing vote (oy vey, indeed), yesterday was a good one for Democrats & IMO America. Of course, as Happy might say, "We've only just begun." Glenn Greenwald has a couple great morning-after posts worth perusing, but I really only need two words to put a smile on my face today: Chairman Conyers . [...]

Something about the little guy today that still looks cute to me. He seems pretty peaceful. But he is dead, so... 'Bush asserts right over use of space' "Consistent with this policy, the United States will: preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space; dissuade or deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so; take those actions necessary to protect its space capabilities; respond to interference; and deny, [...]

I'd just like to take a moment to mourn the passing of the "Fun Size" candy bar as we know it. With Halloween coming, we picked up two large bags of chocolate delicacies at Sam's Club last weekend, in preparation for the costumed masses that happily descend on our house in suburbia. Now, I may (or may not) have opened said bag of candy in advance and behind closed doors, you know, just to sample the wares and make sure nothing is poisoned. I was shocked and chagrined to see that fun is apparently getting smaller, [...]
