So many apologies for the lack of updates this week. Thursday night was trivia night and I drank way too much for my own good. According to my trivia teammates I was shouting at the end of the night for the remainder of whatever bottle we were being poured shots from all night. I guess [...]
Another week has ended. If you fellas didn't get your dicks wet, well that's unfortunate. If you ladies didn't go out and hit the bars and settle for less than you deserve, I find that equally disappointing. Either way, sucks for you. Although it could be worse…you could be one of those people who doesn't [...]
See, the problem with working Sundays for the past three years is that I'm not too familiar with what's going on in the National Football League. So when someone offers me the chance to make a couple high-dollar bets with no vig I should know better than to take the offer. Inevitably my three years [...]
Good times last night at the Whitehorse. Mark's birthday party. I didn't get nearly as intoxicated as Friday night, but I still managed to have a good time. It just goes to show, kids: you don't need an excessive amount of alcohol to have a good time. Sure, it helps - and boy does it ever help - but you can't always rely on it. You're only supposed to rely on it when it's really imperative that you do so. You know, like a crutch. A social crutch. You wouldn't want to walk around in public [...]

Instead of a traditional Sunday Mix Tape this week, I'm going to highlight more great albums which were released in 2010. The one caveat here is that these are all albums which were reissued this past year. Or last year. Weird…two days ago I was saying "this past year" and now I have to say "last year" to not be considered retarded. There were plenty of great albums reissued in 2010. And a lot of them were more modern re-pressings, which I don't care for at all (really? Another limited-edition Group re-press? Ugh!). I'm [...]
Download: Teenage Filmstars - Kiss Me (MF) Edward Ball, Dan Treacy and Joseph Foster loved what My Bloody Valentine did with Loveless so much they made their own and in 1992 released Star on Creation records (who else?), Kiss Me should be on everybody's 90's shoegaze mixtape.

Aujourd'hui je voudrais faire appel à la mémoire de mes fidèles lecteurs ; et quand je dis fidèles lecteurs, je veux parler de mes bons vieux grognards, de cette poignée de braves qui a fait les campagnes de Chine et d' Éthiopie . Je les invite à utiliser leurs super-pouvoirs pour se souvenir d'un article qui a été publié sur les Television Personalities . Ils se rappelleront alors que les membres de ce groupe jouaient dans un groupe parallèle appelé Teenage Filmstars. Or, une chanson de Teenage Filmstars trotte dans ma tête depuis quelques jours [...]
CRECD197 was released during hugely successful times for Creation Records , an era during the mid 90`s where Oasis , Ride and Primal Scream were selling record numbers of units for fun. Artists like Teenage Fanclub , My Bloody Valentine and The Boo Radleys were forming iconic Indie fan bases before the sad demise of Britpop towards the end of the `90`s. A very good time indeed for Creation Records, in fact a tidy era for most British music on the whole. Love or loathe him, Alan McGee [...]
Thank you John from Ohio! Thank you Tyler from California! Thank you Old Man Neil for your 2nd and 3rd donations (bringing your grand total to a whopping $1.99 -- who wants a 5-piece nugget from Wendy's?)! If you have not already, please donate, dear readers. If you have donated, there's no need to donate again. Let the other readers pick up the slack. Why hold a fundraiser? My roommates are moving out and taking their turntable with them, and I don't have money to buy a new one and the new phone/contract I have to purchase next [...]
Boy Blunder Brought Back: Day 9 Thank you Mike. Thank you for having a job on Wall Street with a corporate AMEX card. Thank you for being a lonely husband with a wife sitting at home while you're out on the town. Thank you for being susceptible to the charm of young women. And most of all, thank you for footing the $1,000+ bar bill we ran up this evening. Yes, you read that correctly. We somehow managed to run up a tab that totalled over one [...]
Yes, you read that right. I've decided to make a little mix tape for you today, valued reader, because I love each one of you so, so much. Thank you for coming here and reading my writing and listening to the music I recommend. I know some of it sucks (the writing and the music) but a lot of you have continued to support the site. So it is with a very full heart that I express my deepest (and most erotic) love for you. Please enjoy the tunes. For old time's sake, here are the "rules" for previous Sunday [...]
Hello my loves. I'm currently scribing from the kitchen, where Sari is preparing a massive Sunday afternoon spread that includes homemade bruschetta and all sorts of yummy snacks. We're several bottles in, and it's been a generally beatific day. Not sure what the plan is tonight, but I have to be asleep at a reasonable hour thanks to another voluntary airport run in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. Hopefully this won't happen again for a while. Now here's the music. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to [...]
Dull Thud - The Bleeps Every band has a least one good, ok, at least one decent song, in them. I believe this. I'm sure The Bleeps have more than one (really). I say this with supreme confidence because "Dull Thud" is pretty spectacular as far as two-minute blasts of pop-punk go. It's all in the frenetic, pogoing bassline, obviously, but let's not overlook the enormous sense of fun these London boys bring--smirky lines like "You've got some of you mum's instincts, but you've used all [...]
