Reposted Eartunes: Songs of silence and hearing & songs from artists with tinnitus

Mar 2, 2011, 10:36pm Cover Lay Down
Reposted Eartunes: Songs of silence and hearing & songs from artists with tinnitus Regular readers know that I suffer from chronic ear problems brought on by congenitally small eustachian tubes, coupled with a permanent, high-pitched half-hissing, half-ringing noise which worsens significantly when my ears are blocked. Listening to music in this state, I once wrote, is like trying to hear the good stuff underwater, and surrounded by keening whales . What I may not have mentioned before is that several years ago I made the decision to manage these two related medical issues by having tubes installed in both of my ears - a [...]

DEEP BLUES FRIDAY:

Mar 27, 2009, 12:43pm Nine Bullets
DEEP BLUES FRIDAY: Last Friday I announced the line-up of bands for this years Deep Blues Festival . Earlier this week I bought my plane tickets for Minneapolis. I tell you that so you don't think I am just pimping the festival for some nefarious reason. I buy a ticket just like everyone else. That said, I really do believe in DBF, in what Chis is doing and in the bands playing it so I will take every opportunity to pimp it. Hence Deep Blues Fridays. On select Fridays between now and the festival I will feature [...]

Drowned Out Sound: Coversongs Of Silence and the Struggle To Hear

Jan 7, 2009, 12:00am Cover Lay Down
Drowned Out Sound: Coversongs Of Silence and the Struggle To Hear An interesting challenge faces us this evening: my annual bout of virulent bronchitis has left me partially deaf, and the world is muffled, as if I was now living my life completely underwater. As if that wasn't bad enough, one of the side effects of the added sinus pressure has been a significant increase in volume in what was already a relatively permanent ringing in my right ear, which I can now identify as a piercingly high-pitched C#. Listening to music in this state is abhorrent. Midranges turn to [...]

Monday Music Roundup

Apr 23, 2007, 7:04pm I AM FUEL, YOU ARE FRIENDS
Monday Music Roundup I was stoked Saturday morning when I read about a program called Tangerine! that automatically analyzes the songs in your iTunes library for beats per minute (BPM) and then allows you to make playlists based on beats. I've been looking for something exactly like this that will give me the right beats for running different speeds. I've been addicted to lengthening the amount of time I run lately ( thanks new shoes !) and always delight in finding the perfect song for the MPH I am going - my feet [...]

Theme: Road Trip Songs

Jul 16, 2006, 3:00am Audiography: Stop. Pause. Play.
I decided to take a somewhat different approach to this theme. See, I've taken more road trips in my life than I can count on all my fingers and toes combined; and I always make mixes for them because I am the type of person that needs to have a perfect soundtrack for everything. I have so many favorite road trip songs that it would be way too hard to narrow them down. Instead, I decided to give you all the (partial) soundtrack to one of the more recent road trips I went on - ten days [...]
