In 48 hours I'll be airborne, flying east towards Newark Airport, set to embark on a lengthy trip that will take me from the East Coast of these United States all the way around the world to Delhi, India. To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the year. I'm really, really looking forward [...]]]> text/html 2010-11-28T17:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3004014/on-hippie-scum/
Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units. Desperately insecure, fearing his woman will leave him if she is exposed to other men or to anything resembling life, the male seeks to isolate her from other men and from what little civilization there is, so he moves her out [...]]]> text/html 2010-04-15T11:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2479015/the-mynabirds/
Whether referring to fusions or collaborations, co-creations are often best digested with familiarity of the two or more components at hand. For instance, the food grapple looks like an apple, but its skin tastes like a grape and the insides taste like an apple. Perfectly enjoyable, but those attempting to eat it without prior familiarity [...]]]> text/html 2010-01-11T03:44:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2252009/why-cant-they-stay-small/
My name is Rose. I cant have any children due to the fact of having cancer as a child. Now Im all grown up and wanting a child of my own! So recently one of my best friends purchased a monkey and she dressed it up and took it over to my house. I fell in love with it. It reminded me so much of a child. Then about a week ago she moved out of state and took the monkey with her. And I made up my mind then and there that I wanted a baby monkey. I havent [...]]]> text/html 2009-10-13T08:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2050059/papa-m-boomslang-1011/
Saturday night's lineup at Buster's had things flipped around a little bit, in my humble opinion. The highlight of my night was the first act which was Louisville's (formerly) very own Papa M . For those not aware of the significance or depth of Papa M's career, then allow me to lay it out real quick. Throughout the late 80s and early 90s the music scene in Louisville was one of the most progressive, important, and underrated scenes in recent music history. You might not be aware of how much of the music [...]]]> text/html 2009-10-13T08:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2057645/review-papa-m-boomslang-1011/

Capricho del artista, trabajo de transicin e incluso terapia grupal, el disco de versiones acta la mayor parte del tiempo como punto de inflexin; un descanso en el camino donde los msicos replantean estrategias, curan heridas o simplemente nos hacen conocer sus preferencias musicales ms ocultas. Lejos de seguir la corriente del recurso fcil para engrosar el catlogo y cumplir contrato, ltimamente este tipo de registros ha mostrando enfoques sorprendentes a la hora de reconstruir material propio o ajeno.

I first heard about this guy cause he opened up a couple east coast dates for The Gene Ween Band. I didn't get to catch any of the shows, but I had heard he was not to be missed. Fast foward a little while and I had completely forgotten about him until I saw his album the other week at Academy Records with Dave. If you've ever heard the album Tiny Cities by Sun Kil Moon of Modest Mouse covers...think like that but WAY cooler. This is a very lo-fi acoustic album of all Misfits covers.

In the classic comic book tradition, "What If..." stories were ones that existed outside of the Marvel Universe. Consider this then: WHAT IF... THE MISFITS HAD BEEN A FOLK BAND? Here's your answer: If you like what you hear, you can buy Scream With Me, Pajo's LP+CD of Misfits covers, via Black Tent Press. -GS RELATED POSTS: WOULD YOU [...]]]> text/html 2009-06-19T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1805178/angelfuck/

I love associating artists/albums with the different seasons; for instance, I have always love to listen to Great Lake Swimmer and Wilco (especially Sky Blue Sky ) during the summer. This summer, I am adding Pajos highly anticipated new record, Scream With Me to my playlist. The legendary David Pajo once again bring the most dreamy and tranquil songs to my ears. Wait, I forgot to mention, Scream With Me is a Misfits covers album!!!!!!! Heres the breakdown of the songs: 6 our of the 9 songs are from Static Age , 2 from [...]]]> text/html 2009-05-21T08:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1741497/french-artist-louisville-with-kentucky-inspiration/
I've been hearing a lot about the new project Louisville by French experimentalists Olivier Cavaille, Felicia Atkinson, Nikolu & others entitled Louisville, and while I knew they were French and that Louisville is a very French name, I couldn't help myself from wondering whether there was even the smallest hint of a connection to our fair city and so I tuned it to MySpace. Much to my surprise, the first song on the playlist was the nearly self-titled LouisEville from their debut A Silent Effort in [...]]]> text/html 2009-01-26T05:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1481683/sunday-mix-tape-number-129/
I had a strenuous day at work, helping to re-price all the jazz LPs in the store. It entailed pulling all the records and lugging them to the back of the store, re-pricing them, and then lugging them back out to the floor and reorganizing them. While that was happening, I had to help one of the girls at the front counter by providing her with $2.99 records that needed to be priced. So I had to lug all those records from back to front and then back again for storage. When full, the LP boxes weigh about 70 pounds, [...]]]> text/html 2008-08-25T04:58:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1216038/sunday-mixtape-number-107/
What is there to do on a Sunday? I get home from work (after putting in almost two hours of overtime) and everyone's gone to Sunset Junction to hear shitty bands and eat/drink price-gouged food/drinks. It's dead quiet in the apartment, there's no furniture or anything here since the old roommates moved out, and I'm contemplating laying on the floor and closing my eyes for a while. Unfortunately, the weird bug bites on my ankles make it so I'm not interested in putting my face anywhere near the carpets, at least not until we're certain there isn't anything [...]]]> text/html 2008-08-18T05:44:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1219996/swan-fungus-sunday-mixtape/

Sunday began with a short walk into Minehead for breakfast and to get the Sunday paper, though finding a copy of The Observer or The Guardian within a five mile radius of an ATP event would require getting up before the sun. On our way back we saw the impeccably dressed Nick Cave ahead of us, seemingly heading towards Splash Waterworld, and we fantasised briefly of seeing the great man thundering down the huge water slides with a big dumb grin on his face. Sadly, he turned right before he got there and disappeared into a row of relatively decadent [...]]]> text/html 2007-01-21T17:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/376255/let-it-be-me/

Lots of artists offer some free songs these days, and the blogs are full with postings about it. So here's another great sampler. New Ears Day offers a new song for free download every day until December 23rd, and there are a few great tunes up there already.
