Hyun Joon at our wonderful Christmas party. Today I played with an old Casio keyboard at Joanna's house. It was seriously Awesome! Joanna and I were at Fosselman's ice cream place and the ice cream is taking a toll on my stomach. Have you seen the new Fantastic Four and Transformers Trailers!?!?!!? Gotta watch them here ! Check it in HD. Okay new music. Most of this music is folky acoustic ish. Just a random mix [...]
Due to the success of the Blue Walrus Christmas Mix (aka Blue Christmas), I've decided to start was is hopefully going to a fortnightly occassion of a new series of mixes named delightfully "Snazzy as Fuck" due to a resurgence of that phrase recently. As per the other mix, each song will be available individually [...]
Dan Boeckner probably doesn't like you. His eyes see right through all the superficial bullshit piling up around your heart, and it makes him nauseous. He hates hype, press and this article. Since 2006 is the year of Spencer Krug, I thought it was a good time to start talking about Boeckner. The fierce, punk energy that Dan first showcased in Atlas Strategic, has become the perfect
15. Nomo - New Tones The funkiest album on the list, Michigan-based Nomo take their cue from the Congolese band, Konono N°1 , respectively appropriating their percussive tribal sound to the Northern Hemisphere. Extending that ethos with breakneck brass, organ and guitar to produce a post-Afrobeat sound - the songs on instrumental New Tones are refreshlingly effervescent. Definitely a live act I'd like to see hit these shores sometime in 2007. MP3s: Nu Tones [...]
"I'm already at a deficit! Doing this show from a deficit. I can't work from a lead ever?" -- Tom after some headphone issues necessitated a calming, cold-sodey break "My head is swimming. I'm so stupid." -- Quiz Kid Tommy Scharpling on trying to dive into the world of finance "Can't be a fan of everybody -- that's why God made horse races." -- Tom, explaining the Lord's safeguard against being forced to like Tom Waits "It still kinda like, I 'unno, subverts like a bunch of the [...]

Experimentierfreudige Freunde der Wirrwarr-Musik sollten diesen Samstag nach St.Gallen.
Après la livraison de covers vient logiquement la cargaison de remixes, avec des groupes presque cél-bres que vous avez l'habitude de croiser sur les blogs des quatre coins du globe. Mon post sur les CSS en février n'avait pas soulevé d'enthousiasme particulier à l'époque mais depuis le disco punk des Brésiliennes est partout, et on devrait les voir sur scène l'an prochain ou paraît-il elles excellent. Les Suédois de Peter Bjorn and John ont également le vent en poupe avec leur hymne qui se siffle, et se paient même le luxe de sortir un deuxième extrait de leur [...]
“For Hero: For Fool†Astralwerks; 2006 9/10 So how can you possibly tell whether or not she has really listened to “For Hero: For Foolâ€? After all, since all women react differently to Subtle (just as men do), how can you tell whether she saw the heavens or was simply attempting to feed Doseone’s ego? Well, there are plenty of ways in which to determine that your Subtle partner has reached the acme of Subtle pleasure. Whereas some women make it quite obvious that they're listening to “For Hero: For Foolâ€, other [...]
After a week of intensive sifting through "old" tracks for the recent podcast, it's time for some shiny new trinkets. I mean what were we thinking? Nobody listens to months old records anymore, anyway. It's all about the here and now. Thanks to the "found my Christmas presents weeks ago" mentality of the in the know set, the here and now to several months from now might be more accurate. Some songs to dissect... the Long Blondes - "A Knife for the [...]
