Woke up this morning and realized I haven't done bupkiss on The Cure yet. So today's feature is The Lovecats , Robert Smith's big wag of a middle finger to his gothic past, making 1983 year zero for The Cure's new pop path. As you can imagine this song makes for easy bedfellows with jazz, so first up is future Jazz/Broken Beat renaissance man Nik Weston and his side project West/Rock/Woods who rewires Lovecats into a Cal TJader-ish number. Won't lie to you, really dig the Paul Anka version as well, [...]
One thing I do a lot at this site is "10 Reasons" posts. Here's a bunch from '07, which means the links may not be good anymore. 10 REASONS 2007 MUSIC NEEDS LOVE BUT REACHES GREAT HEIGHTS ON THE SOUTHSIDE 1. Southside-Kanye West and Common . From the "Prelude to Graduation" mixtape. And with this, I eagerly await the 9/11 release of Graduation. 2. George Bush Don't Like Black People-Kanye West and Legendary K.O. And with that, I even more eagerly await Kanye's [...]
"Le Lovecats" est le nom d'un seul 1983 par The Cure. Il a été un hit Top 10 au Royaume-Uni, avec un pic au numéro 7, et de l'Australie et, plus tard, est apparu sur la compilation album japonais Whispers. Contrairement à la plupart de The Cure la célèbre simples, "Le Lovecats" est rarement exécutée en direct, en raison de la complexité de la chanson et la difficulté à recréer certains sons de celle-ci. The Lovecats - Luke Doucet The Lovecats - OK Go [...]
I do not love cats by any means. Kittens, sure, and I've met a few decent cats but their overall redeeming qualities were their dog-like traits. The musical Cats also is something I never ever need to see. This is my own personal seventh circle of burning hell . However recently I was listening to the fine new Luke Doucet album (loved the last one ) and found myself enjoying the twangy creativity of his cover of the 1983 Cure song "The Lovecats." It is [...]
It's been a while. Culminating project season is a bummer. Again, I must stress that I am still a high school student. I'm almost done though, and that's marked by my school's so-close-I-can-taste-it prom. No that's not the theme of our prom, that's an analogy for how soon it is. Anyhow, since I'm excited and in a good mood, I'll pass on some of that feeling to you in song. In fact, these songs'll represent my predictions for the night in chronological order. The Flashing Lights - High School (mp3) [...]
טוסט קינמון זה כל כך טעים! הייתי חייבת לשתף אתכם בזה. ואם כבר, אז קבלו את המתכון: המצרכים: חמאה בטמפרטורת החדר קינמון טחון סוכר לחם ערבבו את הקינמון והסוכר יחד עם החמאה. מרחו על הלחם. אכלו! מרתה סטיוארט נותנת מתכון מדוייק יותר , שנעשה בדרך קצת יותר מתוחכמת משלי, אבל בתכל'ס לא צריך להסתבך יותר מדי בשביל המעדן הזה. לחם בטוסטר (אני השתמשתי בחלה) וחמאת קינמון מרוחה עליו טעימים באותה המידה. אתם גם לא חייבים להשתמש בכל כל הרבה סוכר וחמאה כמו שהיא [...]
This week I decided to create a celebratory mix in honour of me returning home from grad school. It's been a trying eight months with a crappy living situation and challenging courses, and I'm relieved to be home where I have friends and family. I'm also back with my CDs and records, which I missed (digital copies will never be the same as being able to look at liner notes and watching your collection expand on a shelving unit). I may still have a lot of hard work ahead of me with writing my Masters thesis, but knowing that I'll [...]
Received the following email yesterday (names have been changed): You need to work some magic. I feel like I just got broken up with, and we weren't even dating. Steve sat me down VERY nicely and wanted to clarify with me that he doesn't return the feelings I so clearly and artlessly display for him on a regular basis. I am a mess. I feel broadsided. He was WONDERFUL about it which sucks because if he was an asshole, I would be angry and bitchy and feel justified in hating him. As it is, his actions were carefully [...]
February 29 only happens once every four years, so I decided to do something special for my weekly Friday mix. In addition to my normal new indie mix, I decided to add an all hip-hop one. Both consist of the normal 10 songs. I asked Joe to help me out and he came up with a 9 track classic indie mix to round everything out to 29 songs. So here are 3 in 1 post. Have a great weekend. Part I: Indie Fionn Regan - Be Good Or [...]

Hopefully the bits ...
This year, SCOPE will be producing the 10,000 Show concert featuring OK Go at the Englert Theatre on April 22nd. OK Go was perhaps my first favorite rock band. I saw them when they were opening for The Donnas in support of self-titled debut at a gymnasium in my home town. They would go on to become a group of paisley-clad YouTube darlings, a distinction that would later help them snag a Grammy. Today I was strolling down memory lane, reading through the band's press kit. I was sucked in by a band-written explanation of every [...]
Happy Valentine's 2008. It's a holiday both loved and hated. No matter what your opinion on February the 14th, there's always a song to encapsulate the way you feel. Of course, some are more cliche than most, and other songs can get pretty specific. I'm sure you'll find something interesting whether you're pro or anti Valentine's. The song for new and naive stages of romance: Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman - Elephant Love Medley (MP3) Ewan:We could be lovers! Nicole: We can't do that. Ewan: We should [...]

Edie has obviously had a lot more time on her hands than I do, considering that she's written the last four posts in a row. I've been doing various activities such school and making life altering decisions. As you may or may not know from my previous posts, I'm still in high school, but more importantly, I'm in my last year of high school. It's crunch time! Within the next two weeks, I'll have to finish and present all of my final projects, complete my post secondary applications which includes a short story, two essays and getting letters [...]
Enchanted Express Franklin Park Conservatory Columbus, Ohio OK Go - This Will Be Our Year
I'm sorry for the long delay in this series. I was a bit caught up in the holidays, the end of the year, all of the lists I feel obligated to make, etc. But this series is back and better than ever. It seems as if the more I poke fun at the music used on Gossip Girl the better the selections have become on future episodes. So I hesitate to say anything good, at all, about the soundtrack until they incorporate some little known acts from New York into the lineup. I'm pushing for [...]
I'm honestly not a huge fan of Christmas. I suppose part of it is that I'm not really into "festive" things, you know, decorations and themed sweaters and such... And then it's also partially because I'm not religious (and even the non-religious Santa Claus stopped visiting the Gordon family a few years ago)... But most of all, I'm always totally cashed in the Christmas department by the time the day actually gets here since they start playing Christmas music and advertising Ho Ho this and Merry Jolly that at fucking Halloween! It's absurd! Anway... despite my Grinch-like attitude, [...]
Glad to hear everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving here in the States, I am sad it is all over. But as for my fine feathered gamer friends Rock Band has finally arrived and man is it fun to play! You have a choice to play either drums, guitar, bass/rhythm or you can sing! I have to say that the drums are freaking hard to play but they are fun, a lot of fun. The singing is another story... On an Easy level of difficulty you can pull it off but even for [...]
