There will be another Christmas post next week, but since I'm about 12 hours away from getting on a plane to Seattle (where it recently snowed, unleashing endless havoc ) it seemed like an appropriate time to post this track. Snowing In Seattle - Sherwood It's precisely what you'd hope for in a song about a snowy, Seattle Christmas: a clean slice of hook-laden power pop to keep your mind off of how badly everyone is going to be driving for the next week until the snow melts. And [...]
In between posting holiday songs I thought it might be a great idea to post some more holiday songs. I swear I'll get my top 50 of 2008 up sometime this week or next, but until then just drown yourself in Christmas cookies, candy canes, mistletoe, snowflakes, pine trees, and whatever else it is that gets you through this time of year. MP3 | Chris Garneau - It's Almost Christmas MP3 | Cap n' Jazz - [...]
Alexandria - Caithlin De Marrais Voicemail - Caithlin De Marrais What happens if one of the finest records of the year is released but no one writes about it? This is something being tested right now, with virtually zero discussion of the debut solo record from Caithlin De Marrais (formerly of Rainer Maria). It's baffling because Rainer Maria were at least a moderately well-known band in the indie/emo circles. And it's especially confusing because My Magic City is almost certainly better than any of their many fine [...]
You may not immediately know the name, but once you hear the voice you may instantly recognize Caithlin De Marrais. Caithlin is the former lead singer of the now sadly defunct Rainer Maria. She has just released her debut solo record My Magic City, and while it may be far from the driving, guitar-driven sounds [...]
Eight days already? Has it really been that long? It is a bit hard to believe that me and Hails have been "on our own" for this long. Let's just say that if we said we wanted mommy to come home, that would be a huge understatement. Huge. Earlier this week while I was giving Hailey a bath, I could tell that she didn't want to go to bed. She just wanted to play and play and play some more. Hailey even went so far as to [...]

And for those of you who've just put your rent checks in the mail or just found out your landlord cashed it in (finally), there's no better day than the 14th. Right? Ugh. Anywho, we love our readers like fat kids love, well, everything. So here's a few tracks to get you through the day, including the newest track from Rainer Maria alum (get back together you guys!) Caithlin De Marrais , who'll be dropping her debut solo record, My Magic City , very soon. (mp3) [...]
