Listen to it here: Bilumsman

British haze-pop, Miami garage-machines, strange strangeness, and the newest bid at The White Stripes throne - all broadcasted in video form. - Spectrals - Get A Grip from Slumberland Records on Vimeo.

Toronto's Dinosaur Bones are currently in the studio with producer Jon Drew(Tokyo Police Club, the Arkells) on dual projects: their long-anticipated debut LP and 7" being released February 1. If this body of work is half as good as their debut album in 2008, it should be something special. My Divider (from 2008's Dinosaur Bones EP) Dinosaur Bones: MySpace • Facebook Dinosaur [...]

So it's Black Friday here in the States. The day Americans long for, kill for, save for. Nothing says American commercialism, greed, and chaos quite like this day. It's amazing at what people will do to save $100 off a TV. Last year, people died in the crush at Wal-Mart and then on top of that, retail announced that sales were still down. This year is predicted to be much like last year, in other words flat. It's kind of karmic justice in a round about way for both corporations and the greedy shoppers who fill their coffers. [...]

Relationships... where do I start? The complexity of interacting with other people over time and context seems to rise in rate equaling that of entropy filling the universe. The results of both processes, gaping holes of pain, may be similar as well on some cases. In other cases, the serene stars littered skies, each in its own place, seem to present a working unified system. But humans defy the cosmos and its mathematical laws; friend is sometimes foe, kin betrays kin, love is found in the most unlikely places. But I should let indie singer-songwriter Eric Sarmiento (mentioned [...]
If you ever find yourself in the middle of a huge open field on a warm sunny day, lay on your back, face the sky... and listen to these: Lights On - John And Anne Eric Sarmiento - Alejandra Coconut Records - The Summer

These are tracks that I meant to post on the blog earlier, but forgot or was otherwise unable to. My apologies. Let's hope they've not become too sensory depraved in their isolation. ~ 23RAINYDAYS - "The Blackest Days" ~ Dark synth pop I guess you could call this (or "Post Punk Dance Metal" as band describes it). Meant to review the whole EP but trouble with getting the correct tracklist made too much time pass by and I lost interest. Imagine this sound could fair well with the teens. ~ [...]

As you may have noticed, I took the last few days off of this reality and into delved another one. Actually, make that two realities, sometimes interacting with one another, but each also self contained with its own rules and wonders. The first was World of Warcraft. As I mentioned before , I immersed myself in this fantasy driven world, getting totally hooked in the process while also trying, now desperately, to pause and think about the experience. It occurred to me there are a few basic principles underlying it: 1. It's a lot easier [...]
