I spent my holiday engaged in a lopsided battle to root out the forces of entropy from their subterranean lair, or in less florid terms, "I cleaned the basement." It's a project I had been meaning (however reluctantly) to tackle for some time now, though a stream of convenient distractions ( read: videogames and weak excuses) made it possible to postpone the inevitable longer than I ever dreamed possible. My idle leisure's stay of execution ended last Thursday, however, when a representative from the natural gas company came knocking at my front door in order to inform [...]
Dear friends, Hope Sandoval specializes in beautiful meowing. Long syllable stretches of wan regret. Perfect for sleeping, drowning your sorrows or languishing in a darkened room. Take Everything is saved from being an exercise in gorgeous night-time wallowing because it has a smidgen of tension, enough to make you sit up a little and be alert. Awake with Mazzy Star? How novel! About two and a

photo via yep, we're packing up and moving forward. further up the river. but not too far, to where the skies are like this. so digging the (packing) crates throws up curve yesterday and today; mazzy star. it's my fourth move in two years. with any luck this'll be it for a little while. and next time, well next time the dust'll be all ours. here's something which comes into earshot every so often, i can't describe what this song sounds like, it's not new [...]

It is official. Conde nast pulled the plug on Jane magazine. (Me stating this TODAY may make you wonder if I am living in a cave, due to the fact it sounds like I am a month behind in news. No cave, I wrote this for another site and they did not use it.) It is a bittersweet week in the life of any girl raised on the words and icon of Jane Pratt. I have a box in my parents' attic full of every Sassy magazine ever produced. They are cut up from me making those poster collages of [...]

Holy crap, did you see this ? I'm sure you have by now. This is a nightmare come true. It's particularly frightening to me because it wakes me about something that I take for granted every day--that our infrastructure will hold up while we travel along it. But you can't live your life in fear about stuff like this happening, can you? I mean, you couldn't function if you did. I suppose you just have to soldier on, coz you never [...]

Photo credit: Catherine Buca Someone once asked me - of all the genres I tend to listen to - what kind of music really gets to me the most. I'd been thinking about that before but I never can come up with one particular genre. It just doesn't seem right picking one. Afterwards I realized that the question is just plainly wrong to begin with. It isn't a musical genre that might or might not get to me. It's the mood that is portrayed by the music that can really get to me and [...]

"But yesterday she walked home all alone." Mazzy Star ~ She's My Baby from So Tonight That I Might See by Mazzy Star complete lyrics in comments

Editor's Note: This post was written by David Hardy of Two if by Sea . The mix and artwork were also created by him. this mixtape explores the various stages of a breakup. it transitions through heartache, denial, sadness, resentment, depression, and finally, awakening... i've been listening to a lot of these songs for the past 2 months & finally realized what a great concept mix they made. hope they help anyone else who has recently gone through the same thing.

I'm going to be on UNCLE LD's HIGH BIAS PODCAST on the VILLAGE VOICE website this week & I could not be more excited! Notorious writer/musician/chollo LD Beghtol asked me to come down to the Village Voice offices on Sunday & I have to admit that it was kind of a dorky Colleen-in-NYC-Dream-Come-True - Memoir-Moment (TM) ! I playfully bitch-slapped Michael Musto's Desk (cause I've loved him for forever) & humped the chair of Tricia Romano (for [...]

Everybody loves a good nap, am I right? Especially on Sunday afternoons. Here's a little mix to keep you company as you doze off. It's not too long, though, coz I find that I usually fall asleep by around the third song and then I don't get to hear the rest anyway. If you don't operate like that, then perhaps you can consider it a start to your own good, long sleep-inducing mix, OK? Sleep tight. Azure Ray -- "Sleep" mp3 off [...]

"I don't know what you know You take my hand in your hand My life's a state of confusion Why can't you take me in?" Mazzy Star ~ Mary of Silence from So Tonight I Might See by Mazzy Star

Last night's episode of The O.C. was pre-empted in the Northwest by the NFL (the Seachickens lose again .) The episode was instead broadcasted locally at 11pm, which I watched to the sound of 60 mph winds outside, using commercial breaks to tend to a flooding basement armed with a squadron of towels. Maybe that's why I appreciated the alternative universe/ It's A Wonderful Life concept on last night's annual Chrismukkah episode more then I probably would've normally. Right before a major rainstorm, Ryan and Taylor [...]
