Click image to download full album Sounds like: Feist, Billie Holliday, The Octopus Project "Zoe Boekbinder - Hollow Bones" What's so good? I have a great deal of respect for a musician who can isolate something a little ambitious and go for it; and Canadian export Zoe Boekbinder has done just that. Zoe has just released her debut album Darling Specimens , which is [...]

Specimen A are without doubt one serious collaborative talent. After classical music training, developing drum and bass, rising up through the breakbeat scene quicker than most acts they have firmly set themselves as permanent fixture in the Beatport charts as they now dabble with the dubstep as well with their latest release Chasing Shadows featuring [...] Continue..
With the current dance music producing legends that are Chase & Status and their album No More Idols still in the top position of the UK dance charts, their track Time ft Delilah has been made available for remixing out to the masses. But there is one problem about this particular competition. It's already been [...] Continue..
Specimen A 's cover, re-rubbed, flipped and dubbed the whooooaaa out take on Foreigner 's Cold As Ice is not new if you've been a proverbial blogdigger * over the past six months or so. But I woke up thinking about it, for whatever reason, and playing it gives me a perfectly good excuse to post a clip from one of the best television series ever. It's all below, and it's all rad. [...]
I am so sorry. I have been seriously delinquent in posting here at the blog. I wouldn't blame you if you thought I'd packed it in. I suppose I should put up some Christmas music to make up for it, shouldn't I? 'Tis the season and all that. I've actually had this non-traditional chrimbo mix made up for nearly two months. I made it for a friend who lost her sister last year right before the holiday. She told me she couldn't bear to listen to any traditional Christmas music this [...]

I'll be the first to admit it. I'm not a big fan of the whole garage rock sound. Just ask Racer. He knows. He's seen the derisive curl of my lip as he's played the stuff, and I think he either enjoys tormenting me or he actually prefers my face to look that way. No matter. Today . . . today is the day that I can finally sit back in my office chair and claim to have found an appreciation, nay . . . a love for at least one band that fits the garage rock mold. That band, [...]

the Pac Man Guitar is real it was made by Specimen for Dave "Timely" Winer in 1998 it's a one-of-a-kind piece
In 1982 EMI AMERICA released " DON'T RUN MY LIFE " b/w " ICE AGE " from the band Spys. That's all I know....honest....who were these guys? I mean...it's not that great a song when you get right down to it. It's SOOOO dated. But this is just another mystery and I love mysteries. At least Spys didn't have that far to fall......ROMAN HOLIDAY actually had a fantastic hit on MTV with the Ska-tinged " STAND BY " And all things looked [...]
Got a few more good Xmas songs emailed to me. Enjoy this wonderful season. Rich Aucoin ~ Oh My God! = My Love (For A First-Born, Born At The Darkest Time Of Year) This is the song Rich submitted to Sufjan's Xmas song contest. Let's hope he wins! Soundtrack of Our Lives ~ THE RETURN OF THE CHRISTMAS PIPER (X-mas X-mas Uber Alles!) Mink ~ Little Drummer Boy The Specimen ~ Wish It Would Snow
Someone (that would be Juan ) mentioned in the comments of another post that my music selections have been rather eclectic lately. Looking back over the past weeks' worth or so of posts, I'd have to agree. I mean, the entry titles themselves veer wildly between sweet and simple to downright filthy! There's not much of a point here, other than I think Juan is right. My musical tastes and my blogging topics are all over the place these days. No telling what I might write about next, which [...]
Well, I love it when I don't have to drive in it. Sitting inside and looking at a new world full of crystal branches and a fresh blanket of snow is something quite serene. And the mid-west has been getting pounded pretty bad with winter weather lately. Some not so good (several still without power in my state alone) but waking up to a fresh coating of snow made me nostalgic for some old songs. First up is Robyn Hitchcock . I first got into Robyn back in the late 80s [...]
The 11th day of December, and I'll start by linking to another great blog, - one of the blogs I check several times a week. Amy at the Shake Your Fist -blog had a post on December 7 where she presented the new christmas single from Frightened Rabbit , a band we wrote about earlier this month. Their christmas song is incredible, and the video of the choir practice is also really nice to watch. You can find a link to both an mp3 of the choir-parts from the [...]
