A few days ago I found a post about a '65 single - Indian Giver - by Chuck Bernard, it wasn't the same song as the one I knew by the 1910 Fruitgum Co, so I looked in my burgeoning music library, to find I'd grabbed another tune with (almost) the same title from Siblingshot last year. Who knew? three different songs with nearly the same title... it must be a sign eh; but being a bit umm obsessive, and having unlimited time & energy for the unimportant, I found a few more; thirteen actually. With [...]
DreamHost, my domain provider, noticed I was averaging over 60 gigabytes of mp3 transfers a day. For you non-techies, let's just say that's a tremendous amount. So, DreamHost disabled my sound files - can't say that I blame them. The problem was online music providers that found my sound index page and leeched my bandwidth. So, no more index page, you'll have to download the music right here, which is the way it should be. The next few days, I'll be reuploading and editing my older entries, so please be patient. I couldn't possibly upload 500-odd songs, so I'll be [...]
Earlier today Dave at The Rawking Refuses to Stop posted his top 10 best break-up albums . My answer back? This song. Eve 6 - Anytime When Eve 6 broke up in 2004 I was devastated; "Inside Out" was possibly my favorite song of all time until I was 13 or 14. I didn't include Eve 6 in the "Celebrating 19 years of bad music" post because I never stopped loving Eve 6. Never. "Anytime" is THE perfect break-up song because Max Collins, Eve 6's lead singer, doesn't deal [...]

Dre Wapenaar - TREETENTS (1998) I've neglected to post about the odesseyian adventure and reckless abandon mixed drink that is summer camping in Wisconsin. I've neglected many other vitals recently including paying parking tickets, finding a job to pay rent, and buying toilet paper... but in my current pull-yourself-up-by-your-boots traps git-er-done mood, this post seemed the most appropriate to complete. And honestly, what is weightier than a dynamic group of young adults putting aside an entire weekend to venture into the wilderness to learn [...]
Happy Fourth of July dearest patriotic readers. To help you celebrate, we've put together a playlist of Independence Day-related tunes. Feel free to let them accompany your backyard BBQ or your late night bottlerocket launching. Ironically though, most of these songs came from major label records, not independent. Our favorite track in the bunch is the Descendents' excellent "'Merican," which keeps it real while keeping it patriotic: "I'm proud and ashamed every Fourth of July / You got to know the truth before you say that you got pride." Happy 4th ya'll! [...]
