It's time for a mystical journey through time and space! Today I'm featuring artists like Phantom Planet and Martian Memo to God, KT Tunstall, and a little band you've probably heard of called Phantom Planet. But before we post, don't forget--and don't miss out--on all the great tickets and CDs we're giving away (see sidebar for links). I'm not getting a lot of response to these give-aways, and if you all don't show me you're interested in them I'm just gonna stop doing them. Makes [...]
Phantom Planet played the University of Arkansas this past Thursday, and brought along a few new songs to test out. I didn't catch any names, but at least four they called new. I have never really caught on to any of the earlier Phantom Planet albums, but their latest self-titled album was one of my favorite high school albums -- I listened to it on my commute for nearly three consecutive weeks. However, I was a little let down by the live translation of one of my favorite albums, mostly the way 'Big [...]

I think I like the geeky actor better than the geeky rocker. What do you think? Leave a hullabaloo. [...]
Girl Talk's Night Ripper , this summer's hot blogness, has inspired many conversations between us music geeks. When I got the CD, I grabbed my pad and paper and started scribbling down every sample that I thought I recognized, however challenging it was. So then I e-mailed Heather of I Am Fuel, You Are Friends and after talking about a collaborative post lo and behold she sent me the wiki link to a list of samples and it made our [...]
Good morning! This is actually going to be my last post for a while. I'm departing for Jackson, Mississippi early tomorrow morning and coming back next Sunday, and I won't have any access to the internet while I'm there. Brad, the other side of the mouth, will be the only side of the mouth that you'll be hearing from for that alotted time, so be nice and leave him a bunch of sweet and encouraging comments. On to today's mix. I'm leaving you with a bunch of good morning songs that I deem very [...]
I'm in California, currently enjoying the air conditioning of a friend's house as Sacramento is a blistering 100+ degrees outside. This weekend we shall visit Berkeley and San Fransisco and then on Monday I head to Los Angeles. So I shall share some songs about the "state I'm in": Joni Mitchell - " California " Phantom Planet - " California " Neko Case - " In California "
