AllMusic says: "Shrunk down to a four-person one-drummer lineup, MX-80 continued to bring the noise - and very well at that - with Out of the Tunnel. The casual please-nobody-but-themselves approach from earlier releases continued with little change on the nine-song effort, further securing the band's identity on its own, resisting pretty much any label [...]
Wow. What a weekend. I'm sure you're all out getting loaded, but some of us have to work tomorrow. I guess that's why they call it Labor Day, amiright!? Hi, I'm Evan. You might remember me from such drunken blog posts as this one I'm writing right now. Also last night's post and most of [...]

The Newsboys Strike of 1899 finally comes to a close! Take that , newspaper magnates! …which is, you know, FLIP OUT! because the Arcade Fire won a Grammy award for the best album of the year. Much like the majority of the world, I could give a shit about the Grammy's. The machine giving the award to the machine. I have no interest in propagating that bullshit. I just think it's hilarious how fans of "independent" music (Merge + ADA + Universal = "indie"?) are illogically declaring this a victory for the underground. [...]
A new week is beginning. I think it's going to be a good one. I think . I haven't quite figured out why yet, but for at least one of you reading this, it will be a good week. I should try my hand at horoscopes. Hey Aries, you're going to shit your pants this week. Pisces, you will find yourself drunk at least once. Uh oh, Leo…you have cancer. Poor Leo. You were always so innocent and free. You were always so…cancer free. Hey, look, I made a rhyme. There, that should suffice as an introductory [...]
"They got the guns, but we got the numbers." -- James Morrison, touting a strategic advantage "Come on. Help me! HELP! HELP!" -- Thomas Scharpling, yelling for the arrival of his army "It's a recession. I'm not gonna name names, but, uh, let's just say there's a new President . Right? No? Played that wrong? Blaming Obama for this? That's not going over so well. No, I'm kidding. That was a joke. Please, [...]
Apologies for the late post. It's already early Monday morning (as in, past midnight) and I have been busy from the moment I awoke Sunday morning. This is the first chance I've had to sit down and focus at all on a blog post. Lucky for me I can compile a Sunday Mix Tape relatively quickly and still get to bed at a reasonable hour. There's almost no thought involved. A new reader/friend commented the other day that I have a "keen sense of music," so I decided to try my hardest to share as many new artists [...]
Wow. Last night's dinner party was pretty incredible. Good people, excellent food, an overall great experience. I sampled dishes I'd ordinarily shy away from, and tried my best to liven up the gathering with my particular brand of humor and gregariousness. On a scale of one-to-ten, I'd say my performance was a twenty-two billion, three-hundred eighty-four million, seventy-six thousand, one-hundred and forty two. Thanks, alcohol! Sorry. In all honesty, it was the most fun I've had here yet. Also, in accordance with the laws of full-disclosure, I'm obligated to inform you that I had to choke back a [...]
Alright, I updated the info/rules on my sidebar, move your pupils to the right and please go over them. The next person to make "a couple" requests will face my wrath. I am Drago . I will break you. Sorry for the rage I just spent four days in Toledo with my family. That's enough to make anyone fucking hostile so excuse my aggression. Let's Rock. The Big Thing Reality Bus 3 Reasons No Junkies So I'm [...]

I love October. Not just because it's the start of fall, and the weather is getting cooler. But because I love Halloween, though I rarely dress up and go to parties. I usually do a month-long horror movie-a-thon in October, mixing classics with flicks I've never seen, but always wanted to. And, I always make a Halloween mix. This year is going to be no exception. This year, I've decided that instead of just posting one mix, I'm going to do several. I'm going to try and spread them out between now and Halloween. [...]
