So via Facebook I'm reminded that it is in fact winter and that most of the country has a condemning hatred for it... it's currently 76 in Austin. Regardless of the temperature, I find this time of year once again bringing on those same low feelings that persuade the type of music I get into [...]
It goes without saying that the fall mixtape is my favorite of the year. I've spent the last two weeks narrowing this down to what hopefully will be as rad to hear on your end as it is each time I listen through it on mine. Getting the closest friends, setting your destination for the [...]
I began this playlist before moving and actually thought I'd posted it, things have been so hectic I'm not even surprised. Although a bit delayed... here's some great music to check out. . . . 1. The Record Company - "Dont Let Me Get Lonely" "Don't Let Me Get Lonely" has been on constantly since [...]
Being able to see Beyoncé two weeks ago at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut was surreal. Ever since the show it's been impossible to go through a day and not listen to her music. This time though it's not because Beyoncé is heard always on the radio, it's because when reflecting on her concert, her vocals, choreography, charisma, dancing, presence was absolutely illuminating. A good sign of seeing a good concert is when you just can't stop listening to the music, because you want to. [...]
... dire consequences will result. Crying fits? Can't walk from the kitchen to the couch without spilling your coffee anymore? Not sleepy and even when you do sleep, you wake up every hour just to make sure the clock's recording the hours still? Yep, those are sure signs you've been taking TWO tablets of what you thought were only 150 mg. but in fact were now 300 mg. The kind pharmacist had made it easier for you last week and you only needed ONE tablet. See how similar they are! [...]
Agnes at It All Started With Carbon Monoxide is complaining about the heat...What??? Yes, the heat, because it's the middle of summer Down Under. Read her stern warning about goat-ownership. Lost In Your Inbox also has a warning: about hallucinations caused by coffee. I'll take my hallucinations with cream, thanks. Check also the lovely song by Windmill she posted yesterday. Lonesome Music has a memoriam for John Martyn, who passed away at [...]
I've never met Kind of Like Spitting's Ben Barnett but a couple of years ago he and I got into an argument on a small label message board so I'd say we are pretty good friends. That's why it hurt me when a few months back I asked him to send me a CD-R of new demos (he was giving them away on his Myspace page) and his response was that I couldn't have one because I wasn't his friend on Myspace. Ouch, what happened? I thought we were friends. [...]
This from HUSH, my label. Has a new P Bear jamm: "Wii Oui". We are delighted to share this party favor with you: DECA: A HUSH 10th Anniversary Compilation . It's a rare snapshot of an invigorating cross section of artists mostly calling Portland home. The majority of its 28 tracks (tracklist below) are previously unreleased, and it features a 36 page pdf booklet. One note: Should you opt for the convenient, high quality zip download you'll find you're given an opportunity to pay an amount of [...]
There haven't been many posts here for a couple of reasons, or more, but the one which actually saddens me is the fact that I haven't heard anything new which has remotely excited me. I've even found myself listening to songs from bands that roamed the earth years ago, decades ago . This isn't typical of me at all, I'm always seeking something new, a new favourite song, or artist, and when I find something which I like I often share it with Sixeyes readers, hoping against hope that that one little post by little old me will start [...]

Domino Records is behind The Kills' new album, “Midnight Boom.” Right from track one, “U.R.A. Fever,” it’s different from what the duo have done before. It’s cleaner, less grungy, and much more produced. But at the same time, it treads the lines between punk, pop, hip hop and electronica, just like the [...]

I'm sure I will have even more regrets as I continue reading other people's best-lists and listening to what they found. That is probably the best reason for everyone to make these lists and to check out as many as possible. One person just can't listen to it all. I regret that I did not put this glowing and gorgeous Novi Split song in my Top 25 songs list; I just somehow missed it. I played it a lot, and I included it on several mixes I made for friends. The whole album is [...]
Well, kids, who would've thought I'd have the perseverance to make it to Volume 10 of the now world-unreknown "A Baker's Dozen" series? 10 volumes over a mere 19 months. Not too shabby. But, enough waxing nostalgic. Back to what's happening NOW! 01. Lucky Soul - " Ain't Never Been Cool ". Yeah, that's it, call 'em all out on this whole "cool" thang! "I heard you say what you want, say what you [...]
Le 5 Août dernier la petite Julie faisait de moi un double tonton comblé ... du coup je me suis mis en tête de lui faire une mixtape qui pourrait la faire gazouiller, sautiller, sourire, rire, siffloter mais surtout peut être un jour me prendre pour le plus cool des tontons ! :D Si jamais vous connaissez des Julie ça peut servir aussi ! ... enjoy ... Crescendos - Oh Julie [...]
