LOUSY ROBOT - CHRISTMAS IN BERLIN Hi Guys! I met Ben Levine , drummer of power-pop band Lousy Robot , on a recent flight back from Paris/France and naturally the conversation turned to music. Here is some of the info he gave me: Lousy Robot is a Power-Pop band from Albuquerque, NM. The Santa Fe Reporter calls us, "Indie Rock that sounds as if Eels joined forces with The Rentals' Matt Sharp and The Cars' Ric Ocasek to create blissfully [...]
Lousy Robot are a band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Apart from living in a place with a name that is ridiculously hard to spell, they've recently released a full length entitled Smile Like You Are Somewhere Else on Socyermom Records . It was recorded at the fantastic Salim Nourallah's Pleasantry Lane Studios. What came out of those recordings is an album full of introspective pop songs that lack the luster and glam that annoys most indie rock fans. Filling that void is a thick grimey midwest attitude that everyone can enjoy. mp3: Lousy Robot [...]
Welcome All To My Weird Awakening It's Getting to Me Opening hooks are supposed to make you want to keep listening to a song, right? Traditionally, a good hook grabs the listener, forces them to keep listening, and, as the song continues, lets the song become more complex while still holding the listener's attention. Perhaps Lousy Robot operates in a sort of musical opposite land – the opening hook of almost every song from 2005's Smile Like You Are Somewhere Else leaves fingers grasping [...]
Just typing the title made me want to watch Episode V . Still yet to see Iron Man , but I will probably love it blah blah. I saw Maritime and Headlights last weekend and both were very good. I want to complain about finals, but I won't because everybody else is (via facebook status not actually to me). So yay finals. O yeah enjoy the songs. HW #10 if you're counting (which I guess I am).

...other peoples, they have to work. Then We Came To The End , by Joshua Ferris is a book you would like. You of all people, sitting somewhere in an office, sneaking furtives glances at your favourite blog between coffee breaks. You've got Radio3 on in your cubicle, and you still have to lean into your desktop computer to hear it over the three other competing stations in your cubicle block. Across the orange felt divider, your coworker sings the wrong words along to Flo Rida. [...]

A few folks still have spring break coming, and others may be getting ready for road trips for other purposes. It's also fun for me to just put some songs out that I enjoy listening to when I'm driving or exercising, in this case, songs that were released last year or the year before. While "Let's Go" by the Feelies came out on a movie soundtrack last year, it was originally released on The Good Earth in 1986. It has a wonderful wide-open feel to it that makes you want to get [...]
