Apocryphally, If I Needed You came to Townes Van Zandt wholesale, in a dream, wherein he envisioned himself a famous folksinger, and the song as his biggest hit. When he awoke, he wrote the song down, changing but one line in transcription, and the rest, as they say, is history. Of course, Townes did indeed become famous, though partially posthumously, and surely not on the same scale as he envisioned in his nocturnal emissions. But as I've noted several times in these virtual pages, I discovered the work of [...]
...And A Happy New Year... by The Maine This is for everyone in my generation... the ones who found solace in the punk rock angst of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional. This album is like a musical memory with a holiday twist. Ho Ho Hopefully is my favorite but Santa Stole My Girlfriend is [...]
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2nd It's not easy to discern one synth-pop act from another, especially after years and years of hearing just about everything a synthesizer has to offer in pop music. Baltimore-based trio Future Islands , however, strays from the genre's typical formula by offering a diverse range of lyrical emotion in juxtaposition with the cold sameness that's difficult to avoid with synth noise. Tracks such as "In The Fall" (off the band's 2010 EP of the same title) find front man Samuel T. Herring embarking on winding, four-minute poetic narratives before finally retiring to repeated [...]

I don't remember how I stumbled across heycoolkid! but I'm sure glad it happened. It might not be the most visibly mind-blowing music blog on the interweb but the content is great and the music tastes are eerily similar to mine. The theme over there seems to be about pounding the readers with lots of tunes on well-crafted playlists...two things I am quite a large fan of. Make sure to head over to heycoolkid! and throw a bookmark on your web browser. Below is the latest playlist from him/her/them(?). 1. Jhameel [...]

Unfortunately, my card reader has [...]

There comes a point on any cruise where a pit stop stop is needed, a chance to stretch your legs and feel some movement. Most often in high school this would be either a haunted cemetery these are common in indiana.... ( Stepp Cemetery is probably the best for a road trip), a pond in the middle of nowhere, or my favorite is this abandoned train depot in atterbury ( you drive along the tracks for a half a mile and drive right up onto the platform. Great place to relax and take in an unadulterated view of the [...]
Record Store Day was a complete and utter failure. At least for me, it was. I was stuck with the kiddo until late afternoon, and I'm not one of those loosey-goosey "yeah, man, just take your kid along" parents. I didn't get a chance to make it out to Good Records or Bill's Records or Forever Young to get some nice swag. If you did, grab what you bought and hug it long and hard - because you don't know just how lucky you are. So how did I spend my Record Store [...]
I'm back. It's been a while. It has been a combination of busyness, sickness and laziness. When those three get together, it's like a Voltron of not getting columns written… or something. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. I didn't listen to any of your musical suggestions, because they were so long ago and I forgot what they were. So let's start again this week. Let me lay down the ground rules for those of you that are new to the table: suggest a band or artist that I should listen to. Genre matters not; the only [...]

For shame, little peanuts! I got no listening suggestions last week so I spent my time listening to old Thursday and Taking Back Sunday records. I place the blame solely on you. Although, Autobiography of a Nation is still a pretty bad ass song. Welcome to another Old and Jaded, Buzzgrinderers! This edition promises to be especially jaded - so strap in. I bought my ticket to the Dashboard Confessional Swiss Army Romance tour, and I honestly don't know what to expect. I [...]
