Five Chinese Brothers Swallowing The Ocean

Sep 3, 2010, 5:56am Song, by Toad
Five Chinese Brothers Swallowing The Ocean Ha! Any excuse to shoe-horn a bit of vintage REM into the equation! Although I've probably desecrated five millennia of Chinese mythology by misappropriating it like that. Sorry! So... Mr. and Mrs. Toad have invaded China to spread the good word of the amphibian god, Toad-Ra, and left Toad Enterprises Inc. ™ to its own devices, which leaves me in charge of copying-and-pasting stuff up onto the blog. If you'd like to see your name up in lights on here over the next couple of weeks, like Martin did yesterday with his excellent gig [...]

Trevor Herion - Beauty Life

May 23, 2010, 7:31pm The Same Mistakes
Trevor Herion - Beauty Life The pop charts of the mid-eighties were crowded with electro crooners, their unabashedly romantic yearning standing in stark contrast to the icy and distant synthesizers and white boy funk grooves that filled out the sound. David Sylvian hoped for visions of China. Peter Godwin wished for images of heaven. And Midge Ure longed for Vienna. But no electro crooner could touch the heart strings better than Trevor Herion. Born in Cork, Ireland, Herion moved to London in the late seventies, and was living in a squat with members of The Psychedelic Furs when he hooked up with drummer [...]

Overplayed in the 80s: Yes, indulge me

Mar 12, 2010, 4:45pm The Indie Music Database
Overplayed in the 80s: Yes, indulge me I know, this post isn't at all indie - it going to be more retro than indie. But then, in my defense - it's the sort of music that most you guys reading haven't heard of, since these songs came from an era where you were still a twinkle in your parent's eyes. I blame it all on the John Hughes tribute at the Oscars on Sunday, as well as JJ's Spandau Ballet serenade on Skins last Thursday. It gave me this really big urge to post an eighties themed List Addicts Fridays. The scariest part [...]

My dad worked for years after his retirement. In fact, when I think about it, I don't believe he ever really 'retired' at all. He and my mom were on a fixed income, so my pop took a job with a local pharmacy delivering medications to seniors who were home bound to supplement his tiny Social Security check each month. To make matters worse, my dad's bosses at the drug store were the worst of the worst. I won't mention the business' name—Butler's Drug Store in Point Pleasant, NJ—but suffice it to say the drudgery of having [...]

Great Underrated Bands #2

Sep 13, 2009, 11:24am A Future in Noise
Great Underrated Bands #2 Inspired by Marilyn's recent article on the same theme I thought I'd have a go in the hope that this might become a regular feature on AFIN. It's difficult question… there's so much music and so many obscure artists that one might like to mention for sake of namedropping them but, in all honestly, their minor cult status is perhaps ultimately y proportionate to their contribution to pop music. Then there are very well known and popular acts that are perhaps 'misunderstood'. And overrated bands? Don't even get me started… Anyway, here are eight more that, if you're [...]

Rare Hits Of The 80's - Redux - Part IV

Aug 1, 2009, 3:00pm Songs in Space
Rare Hits Of The 80's - Redux - Part IV Image From Here Well, here is the final installment of this series. I am not as familiar with some of these artists than the others posted. And, I was quite surprised to see how low Billy Idol charted for the song Flesh For Fantasy . I'd have thought that track would have charted a lot higher. The first three posts in the series are below. The 80's (as I said before) was such a vital time for music. It clearly helped define the music that we listen to today. And [...]

Revealed! Conspiracies & Mysteries

Jun 12, 2008, 3:12pm pogo a go-go
Revealed! Conspiracies & Mysteries So it goes something like this: sometime back in the mid-1970s, the benevolent aliens who had been watching over humanity undetected for ages finally felt compelled to intervene. Genghis Khan they could tolerate. The Black Death, though distasteful, was mildly interesting. Stalin had no dress sense and was a boor, but they let him slide past. However, when they saw the cultural havoc being wreaked by the likes of Barry Manilow, Captain & Tennille, and naugahyde, they decided it was time to act. Using centuries of knowledge gained through the judicious application of [...]

open your mind and you will see

Sep 22, 2007, 8:54pm Armagideon Time
open your mind and you will see Move over, Nero Wolfe! Take a hike, Sam Spade! There's a new gumshoe in town, and Debbie Preston is taking on the cases no one else dares to touch.. It makes me wonder if it's time the character was dusted off and relaunched with a "now" sensibility, sort of James Ellroy-meets-Carolyn Keene in tone: As she stepped into the penthouse bathroom, Debbie cursed herself for letting thing get this far. She remembered the stern talking to she got from her father after the SWAT team had [...]

The Dictionary

Aug 18, 2006, 9:25am Looking at Them
The Dictionary For today's theme mix, I did something a little different. I got my dictionary out and opened it up to random pages and picked a word. Then, I looked through my collection for a song title that had that word in it. My inspiration for this was the scene in Say Anything when Diane tells Lloyd that she used to underline every word that she looked up in the dictionary. So, here's the most random mix I think I've ever offered up. Hope you like it! [...]
