As a 90's kid I love bitchy female vocals, droning guitars, and basically all things that are influenced by the punk, grunge and shoegaze scenes. Carolee is a myspace find and she has been equally inspired by the same scenes, probably more so, so she's put out some songs that slid right into my heart. Straight from the horses mouth: The songs were recorded in my friend Paul's garage in southern new jersey - my other friend tom played the drums and [...]

Surprise, I've made a mix tape for you. And why? Because I love you all. Plus, some of you have been quite loyal readers despite my discontinuing the weekly mix tapes. Also, I don't want to do a lot of work tonight because I'm too busy being nervous about the Mets opening day tomorrow. Apparently Nicci scheduled us to get massages tomorrow after the game, so I'll be sure to have great blogging fodder tomorrow night. I've never had a professional massage before. In fact, I think the only people to ever attempt giving me massages before are Nicci, my [...]

Last night was so embarrassing I won't even describe how I spent it. Sure, I left the apartment at five in the afternoon and didn't return until after 4am, but the hours in between were so utterly unremarkable I feel it could actually damage my reputation if I recounted the details for you. I awoke to my phone ringing at noon. There were television characters making cameos in my dreams this morning. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or [...]
"Look what I got at Target today! Let's play!" "Okay." "I'm Bob. I'm a Roman centurion. I have a sword." "I am Vectrix, son of Verucloetius, and was once a reknowned tinsmith of the Volcae. When the Golden Eagles came to take our lands, I rallied to the banner of my chieftain. Our warhost was slaughtered by Centurion Bob's legion. I saw my wife and daughters spitted on Roman spears, and I was taken prisoner. My arms were strong from working my trade, so I was judged fit [...]
We only danced for a minute or two But then she stuck close to me the whole night through Can I be fallin' in love She's everything I've been dreamin' of I walked her home and she held my hand I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could (I asked to see her and she told me I could) Somethin' tells me I'm into something good - Herman's Hermits ( lyrics ) [...]
Occasionally we like to lock ourselves in the record room at YuppiePunk World HQ, dump out an entire shelf of CDs, pop them from their jewel cases and rub their hard, shiny plastic all over our hairy body . What's the point of telling you this? We have no idea, we just needed an intro. But now that that's out of the way, please enjoy some selections from our record collection, this time we're joyously jamming to the jivin' jams of the letter J. [...]
The title to last night's Grey's Anatomy episode ( "Oh, the Guilt" - see Laremy's recap ) refers to a 1993 split single that Nirvana did with The Jesus Lizard (which, I'm proud to say, I own - Puss/Oh, the Guilt on Touch & Go records.) Unfortunately, the song didn't make an appearance in the episode, as the rest of the music was rather... how do I put it... female -oriented. Let's just say a little head-banging could've turned this soundtrack around a bit. [...]
