If any of you are studying/working/thinking deep thoughts as much as me then you might want some tunes to keep you company. Here are some instrumental jams I have been listening to lately. Tunes without those pesky lyrics to distract you but not so mellow as to put you to sleep. ♫ Joe Goddard - Apple Bobbing Hot Chip's Joe Goddard just dropped his solo debut, Harvest Festival , and it sounds kinda like half-baked Hot Chip rejects. To be fair, it's clearly a different project but [...]
From the road down to New Orleans: - Stopping in Pittsburgh to visit friends, a movie set, an abandoned boat, and Transformazium in Braddock, PA. - Borrowing a floating dock, with the intention of paddling up river to Braddock. It was discovered to be a flawed plan, so we left the dock where it was liberated from. - Our friend we stayed with lived in a house that was purchased for $4000, and the vacant lots on each side were fetched for $200 each. - Next was Nashville, where we went to an experimental [...]
Filed under: Around the World Call it the revenge of the band geeks. It seems that everywhere you turn these days, you can find the folks who probably got a lot of grief for their stints in their high school bands -- marching and otherwise -- wielding their horns and drums and even accordions with great pride.

SPACE HOLE BY MARCHFOURTH MARCHING BAND: [...]
I'm getting ready to do some live radio this morning with members of Vagabond Opera and the March Fourth Marching Band , but I wanted to post a quick update of some worldly things (and you may expect more on those bands and a report of tonight's show here in Olympia soon...). Is the epitome of "world music" an album that was recorded on three continents and incorporates musical elements from all three? In my book, that's a subcategory called "world fusion," but not so for Paste Magazine in [...]
las canciones de los neoyorquinos the march fourth son lo que se dice pop con encanto. y es que, por mucho que se declaren fans de syd barret y, quizá porque les produce charles newman (habitual en las grabaciones de stephin merritt ), lo suyo son esos sonidos de andar por casa en zapatillas que tanto gustan en este blog. el ambiente psiquedélico que se respira en estas tres canciones tiene más bien que ver con el amateurismo que le gustaba a los chicos cuando los television personalities cantaban [...]
