In case you haven't been reading my other blog, I should bring you up to speed on how I've been making posts recently: I broke my left pinkie finger about 2 weeks ago, making it really painful/difficult to type. I wanted to keep my regular posting schedule, so I began recording my posts as videos, creating a series of "hands-free" entries. I'm still not able to type well, so the hands-free postings will continue here. YouTube has a 10-minute limit on the length of uploaded videos, so I had to split my comments on this month's songs into [...]
והשבוע, במהדורת פסח של מוסף סוף השבוע היחיד שאין בו פרסומות: קאונטינג קרואוז, היפופוטם, ביורק, רחמנינוב, קרמיט כפי שלא הכרתם מעולם, ברייט אייז (פי שלושה!), היס רקורדס עושים פורנו, רג'ינה אצל קוואמי, ספיידרמן עושה את זה כמו ארנב, ספיישל מותו וחייו של הדיסק, יומנים נודדים, וגראם פרסונס! לא נהניתם? הכסף יוחזר!
I started working in a used and new record store in Seattle in 1987. A significant portion of my dreams came true when I actually got paid (very little, of course) to flip through records all day. One of the benefits of working there was I got first dibs on any used records I bought for the store. At that time, CDs were making vinyl practically obsolete. People couldn't trade in their records fast enough. Great vinyl abounded. One day I came upon my first Gram Parsons record. Or rather my first Flying Burrito Brothers record. [...]
"Mon idée de film est la suivante : rien que des plans fixes sur des agents de contacts scotchés à leur chaise, l'air absent, avec le public qui passe devant eux sans jamais les regarder. Simple, mais efficace. A chaque nouvel agent, une nouvelle chanson. Mon choix varie sans cesse , mais certains morceaux sont incontournables : "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment", par les Ramones, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", par Hank Williams, "Human Fly", par les Cramps, "Death of A Disco Dancer", par les Smiths, (...)

Unbelievable matchups today in college football. #1 Ohio State takes on #2 Texas tonight in the Lone Star State, while #4 Notre Dame plays host to the always dangerous #19 Penn State this afternoon. SI.com's Luke Winn breaks down each matchup for you on his college football blog. Unfortunately for this crazy Buckeye fan, Ohio State isn't playing FSU today, so he won't get to take any pictures of these upstanding [...]
I feel like I'm kind of half-assing it this week, but I couldn't pick just one song from each album, and nothing I bought last Tuesday impressed me enough to share, so here's this instead: I knew very, very little of Gram Parsons before a month ago. In fact, the only thing I really knew was that he was a country singer from back in the 1970s and that his name was familiar. I wish I knew earlier. Parsons was essentially a musician from [...]

... can be found on Stylus today, entitled Soulseeking. It tackels the very subject I was attempting to write about today. As like most bloggers I have a thing in the side bar that lists the albums I'm currently digging or whatever, no one really cares. Some other bloggers find the need to rotate these albums out of there list almost daily, continuously refreshing them to keep up with the latest fad. Everyone would have us believe that they still love The Arcade Fire album, but if you look at anyone's "On The [...]
