Moments before the candidates took the stage Wednesday night, Bob Schieffer placed an upskirt photo of Cynthia McCain on the table at the old war hero's place. SO.... it's been a while since I posted last. And amazingly, I'm still listening to the last few things I wrote about. Okkervil River, Delta Spirit-- still rocking them both. But there are new things to talk about. Next week Mr Kyle I'm Just Sayin is All Pfister is spoiling [...]

Phil Elverum macht keine Kunst für die Masse. Seine LPs, EPs, Singles, Gedicht- und Fotobände sind Sammlerobjekte, die ein paar tausend Leute wie Geheimnisse hüten. Eine der beunruhigendsten Fragen überhaupt ist jene, ob man den Herd abgedreht hat. Was, wenn nicht, und die Flammen bereits an Möbeln und Erinnerungen lecken? Kleider würden knisternd Feuer fangen, Farenheit 451 und andere Geschichten in Rauch aufgehen, Plattencover verkohlen und die gesammelten Daten dahinschmelzen. Wie viel bliebe übrig vom eigenen Leben, nachdem die Flammen die Reliquien der Vergangenheit gefressen haben? Wäre [...]
Interesting release week. Nothing crazy huge, unless you count the new Oasis album. I don't. They're good and all, but this whole reunion thing is getting a little old. Plenty of stuff that'll probably be worth checking out, though. Annuals , Antony and the Johnsons , Grails , Margot & the Nuclear So and So's , Devin the Dude , The Streets , Deerhoof , These Arms Are Snakes ... Lots of stuff I should be more familiar with than I am. [...]
Before coming to Australia, where I'm studying until December, I was repeatedly told that there is no local music scene in Sydney. "It's all DJs and clubs and $20 drinks and dress codes," they said. Well apparently, these people never wandered outside of the two block radius encompassed by our campus. Sydney's music scene is thriving. Last week, I wandered into the Hopetoun Hotel (they call bars hotels, weird) in a wonderful town called Surry Hills to discover Pikelet, an Australian singer/songwriter/magician out of Melbourne. Sitting alone with a classical guitar, in front of two mics and above an assortment [...]

So, uh...what's up, everybody? I've started this entry without having anything to write about today. I could rant about how Apple is now the number one music retailer in the United States , and why that's bad for artists (Remember when I reported on how Apple wants to lower the percentage royalty earned by songwriters even further ?). I could write about how Wal-mart is tired of willingly losing money by selling CDs , and now wants every album they sell to cost consumers less than ten dollars, but that would mean citing (at length) an article [...]
