Kishore Kumar - "Typewriter, Tip, Tip, Tip" MP3 The Kinks - "Strangers" MP3 Oliver Onions - "Zorro is Back" sample (from the Bottle Rocket soundtrack; amazing) First off, check out these tunes from Wes Anderson movies. I guess you could say he doesn't always put the most appropriate songs in the most appropriate places in the films themselves, [...]

En cette journée de Saint-Valentin, Blackout vous a concoté une petite sélection de chansons en mode "amour", généralement optimistes ou du moins lyriques. Nous avons allégrement pioché dans nos bibliothèques musicales pour choisir un titre par décennie depuis les années 1960. Le tout commence avec The Turtles et la pétillante Elenore (1968), un exemple typique de la chansonette sixties empruntant son titre au prénom d'une demoiselle et au refrain débordant d'enthousiasme (et de wouaouuuuuus...). Nous pous présentons ensuite la méconnue Helden , version allemande de la célèbre Heroes , [...]

I just watched Be Kind Rewind. I'll let you know what I thought this weekend or on Monday. But I haven't posted another Perch Mix CD from the Christmas present I gave my aunt in a while. So far there's been Happy and Orchestra. Today, there's Love. Find the one you love, put on this mix, and let them know how much they mean to you. And I guess this is as good a time as any to announce that I'm once again taking applications for a girlfriend. If you're interested, please [...]

Easily my best show yet. The host after me quit his show, so I just did a two hour show instead. It was full of great music, screw ups left and right, and good conversations with people online. The best part had to be when I started talking in the middle of the Page France song because I thought it was over since I didn't really know the song all that well, then out of nowhere it just bursts back into the song and I was still talking. Whoops. Adds character to my show I guess. Much needed humor or [...]

I tried ALL DAY to post this stinkin' thing but couldn't. Damn all of you posting your Valentine's sentiments, music & pics...DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!! So here it is Valentine's Day & I'm sitting at home with a cold, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream & halfway watching Forensic Files on CourtTV. I'm a single girl in the most married neighborhood in Brooklyn. It's annoying. And actually, my landlord is selling the apartment I'm renting so I'm escaping! I'm moving up to Williamsburg/Greenpoint in March so [...]
