Chuck's Buy More side-schtick Morgan (Joshua Gomez) has been, up to this point, fairly annoying, so the prospect of a "Night of Morgan" seemed rather torturous -- not nearly as much as having "Afghani warlords bleed me from my liver" as Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin) so succinctly put it, but you get the point. But last night's Chuck turned me around on Morgan, and he's officially grown on me. His desperate behavior was given a more human side, and as a result, lines that once annoyed, now seem more endearing. [...]
"The most popular yacht rock artists enjoyed massive commercial success. During its peak years, yacht rock dominated the Grammy Awards, with Christopher Cross and Toto sweeping the major awards in 1981 and 1983 respectively, feats consistently derided by Grammy prognosticators. [3] However, yacht rock was not a hit with most rock critics at the time, who dismissed it as being corporate rock that was overproduced, generic, and Middle of the road.... ... Corporate Rock is an often pejorative term used primarily by music critics to describe rock music, particularly music from arena rock bands, [...]

Hall & Oates - "Rich Girl" You're hearing this song everywhere. You only heard it for the first time last week, but now it's like buying a yellow car, or getting a certain kind of trendy shoe, you notice it all the times it was there before when you didn't notice it. This stretchy gold outfit fits like a plastic bag and dances knees-first like a once-sexy old timer. The melody is really nice, a little finger-wagging twilight disco, but the lyrics are a little off. I'm not sure Hall or Oates really understands the Rich Girl (as a species) [...]
My radio show, Sunglasses After Dark (Fridays, 10pm-midnight Central on KJHK 90.7FM) presented three local bands at the Jackpot here in Lawrence last night. I only started booking shows back in September of last year, but I?ve learned that every show has one issue or another, or something goes horribly ...
Stage Setting The Go-Betweens, Wait Until June. Hall and Oates, Wait For Me. The Banana Splits, Wait Till Tomorrow. Well, I'm still in the process of slowly assembling the first of this summer's theme posts, which should be ready to go up sometime next week. Or so I told my foreman. Still lots of logistical decisions to make--where to put the dancing bears? the quartet of camels? the
Καιρό είχαν να με πιάσουν τα κυκλοθυμικά μου... Dispatch - The General * Train - Meet Virginia (Acoustic) Midlake - Head Home Over The Rhine - All I Need Is Everything Hinder - Lips Of An Angel (Acoustic) Hall & Oates - Out Of Touch
You all know the original. I bet most of you have already played this song out on your ipods six months ago. But now that "Throw Some D's" is getting commercial airplay and Rich Boy ( all 125 lbs. of him ) is all over MTV , a bunch of remixes and remakes are coming out. Hearing other rappers on this track, its obvious that the real genius is in the beat made by Polow Da Don . For me Andre3000's take outshines all of the other 3,593 emcees who have graced the beat.

Hall & Oates, "Out of Touch" 12" (RCA 1984) Neatly combines my newfound love for H+O's pop soul with my obsession with Arthur Baker remixes (still looking for that Rolling Stones "Too Much Blood" single ... I have an mp3 of the dub version and it's bonkers). Hall & Oates - "Out of Touch (Dub Version)"
I have this love-hate relationship with holiday music. I used to love to hate it when I worked retail and had to listen to the same shitty songs over and over and over while waiting on highly obnoxious customers. Now, after being out of retail for almost four years, I hate to love holiday music. Oh well...what are you gonna do? I should say I don't love ALL holiday music. Most of it is pretty crappy. I tend to gravitate towards classics, stuff that reminds me of my childhood, and some modern interpretations of those classics. [...]

Hall & Oates: "I'm Sorry" (download) Red House Painters: "I'm Sorry (John Denver Cover)" (download) I'm going to go back through my entries to add Technorati tags and category tags to each one. I apologize in advance if this screws things up for those of you who are reading T-Sides through feeds. For those of you who don't, however, it should improve your T-Sides reading experience. Or at least that's my intent.

I apologize for the lack of updates this week. Between interning, looking for jobs and getting ready to move out of the apt. where I was staying in Queens, it's been a busy week. I have plenty to write about, but I'm still digesting a lot of it. However, one thing I did get to this week was the screening of Episodes 1-10 of Yacht Rock in Park Slope. Fake Michael McDonald, Fake Koko, Real Me, Real Mita. Aug. 23, Union Hall, Park Slope. I know [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted about one of my favorite John Cusack movies, One Crazy Summer . This week, I've chosen another classic Cusack film, Better Off Dead . The first of his movies with director "Savage" Steve Holland , and probably my favorite, Better Off Dead tells the tale of down-on-his-luck Lane Meyer. Lane's beautiful and popular girlfriend, Beth, has just broken up with him for jerk ski jock Roy Stalin and Lane doesn't feel as though he can go on. He begins thinking of [...]
For today's theme mix, I did something a little different. I got my dictionary out and opened it up to random pages and picked a word. Then, I looked through my collection for a song title that had that word in it. My inspiration for this was the scene in Say Anything when Diane tells Lloyd that she used to underline every word that she looked up in the dictionary. So, here's the most random mix I think I've ever offered up. Hope you like it! [...]
