This is not blogging. This is an example of me being really busy, kind of burnt out, but still loving a lot of music that's been coming my way. You may have seen all or some of these elsewhere, but I don't really care. And check out that photography up there... Super ill. Yeah, "super ill". What? Cloud Cult - Take Your Medicine (Man is Doomed Remix) (MiD remix > Mid o-rig., sorry Ian ) Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Burns Remix) (Really chill, but the breakdown [...]
The theme for this week's contrast podcast is "the skin" (you can listen to it here ) and I find myself of two minds about it. My first impulse was to go with my favorite skin song, which is by Cloud Cult . They're the band and it's the song that inspired me to start my blog. And yes, I've posted this before, but it's too good not to share again. [...]
Video of Anvil at the Uptown, interview with Cloud Cult & Ice Palace reviewed.
Man Is Doomed no están cansados de todo el trabajo que deben tener, acaban de sacar el Escape To Europa y ya tienen un poco de remixes encima. Esta vez le toca a Cloud Cult , banda de la misma ciudad -y con un tanto más de vejez que ellos- que tiene sonando ya un tiempo (desde el 95). Ciertamente es más movido este remix de 'Take Your Medicine', los Clouds son un pelín más suaves y sin toques eclécticos... pero en conclusiones, MID se la comió. Cloud [...]
Before I mention this week's line-up, I would just like to let everyone know that the Cornelius and Deerhoof show at the Fillmore on Tuesday is cancelled due to...erm.... Swine Flu . But no matter, there's plenty going on this week to keep you occupied. Tonight we've got avant-garde freaks Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at the Great American Music Hall and The Dead (yes, THAT Dead) play the Shoreline Amphitheatre. Monday, Scottish indie pop group The Vaselines hit up Bimbo's 365 and instru-metal band North plays The [...]
The new record features guest spots by Craig Finn and Cloud Cult's Shannon Frid.
Cloud Cult mastermind Craig Minowa is also the man behind the score of Expedition Grizzly , a National Geographic Channel program about naturalist Casey Anderson and his best friend Brutus the Bear. The music sounds great, and honestly the show looks interesting, too. Here's a little more information on the special: Expedition Grizzly featuring Casey Anderson presents the unique story of one man who has dedicated himself to wildlife preservation and a daring approach to understanding grizzlies' every move — living among [...]
It's a grey day in New York, the hint of rain and the less-than-steely resolve of humidity. It rained yesterday and the pessimists are calling for rain tomorrow until the end of the world. Of course, the glass-half-full types see some beauty in the breakdown. Whether karma or statistical odds or some platitude (it's darkest before the dawn, the light at the end of the tunnel), some of us believe
"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." ~Clara Ortega [...]

![Cloud Cult: No One Said It Would Be Easy [Movie Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1673821_lg.jpg)
"The original idea with Cloud Cult ," states front-man Craig Minowa twenty six minutes into No One Said It Would Be Easy , "was to try and create something that would make people feel alive for a moment." While that mantra has changed slightly since the group's inception, I'd bet it's pretty safe to say they know they've succeeded at achieving their original intent. Cloud Cult is aptly titled. Their music is cosmic, bigger than life itself, hinting of the expanse that is space. And the term cult [...]
Bob Dylan releases new music video, Green Day schedule TC date & Sick of Sarah plans national tour.
So, hey, wait I minute, I just realized that I never got around to telling ya'll about one of the best albums I have heard in a very long time. One of those albums that has something new for you every time you listen, one of those albums where every song song requires no effort to full in love with. An album with, get this, awesome lyrics (I'm talking Darnielle level awesome here people),
