Do you have a de facto New Year's anthem? Believe it or not...I do. Sometime in the winter of 2002 or spring of 2003, I heard "The Ice of Boston" by The Dismemberment Plan and although it's more depressing than say, Prince's "1999," it definitely fits the boozy, head-in-a-fog mood of the night. It's the sort of tune that's great for drinking to on account of that "HEY!" starting the chorus and serves as a reminder that nothing says, "let's bring the new year in with a bang" quite like...a hangover. (And although this post might [...]

Three months ago, I asked for your suggestions as I was in the middle of making a mix to mark my high school graduation. I graduated in late May, and though I got the list jotted down, and the files uploaded already, somehow it just didn't feel right, so I decided to save it for another occasion. Well, lately, I've been watching some of my favorite Buffy episodes again, and after finishing the season 3 finale, I know I just have to post it up here and get it over with. A graduation mix in mid August, that's me and [...]

The shows were both put together to raise money for Callum Robbins . The exact date of this one was Saturday, April 28th, 2007. MP3 | 01. Intro MP3 | 02. Do The Standing Stil [...]

So I've been sad for almost four years now. That's how long the wonderfully quirky D.C. band The Dismemberment Plan has been broken up. I've been really sad since April, 27th 2007. That's when The Plan played the first of two reunion shows at The Black Cat in Washington, DC that I was (super unfortunately unable to attend). Damn I loved The Dismemberment Plan. The shows were concocted to benefit Callum Robbins (son of producer extraordinarie J. Robbins). He suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy and although I [...]

Nothing has more potential to amaze and infuriate than a cover song. No matter what you do, someone will be angry that their favorite song was desecrated by the hands of a lesser musician. On the other hand, someone will be saying, "It's even better than the original!" In any case, I always like a good cover that dares to stray from the sound of the original and bring a little something of its own to the table. So here they are, a few covers I've always loved, from Dismemberment Plan's tragic reworking of the 80's pop hit [...]

I was pretty much euphoric after Friday night's Dismemberment Plan show...and I wanted more. I understood that the Saturday night show had sold out in four minutes but I had also seen that there were a large handful of people Friday night trying to get rid of a spare. It was worth a shot, even if it meant making the 11 hour drive back to Atlanta in one day...for nothing. Luck was with me, however, because finding that spare ticket on Saturday night took me all of about 30 seconds. [...]

Generally if I'm reviewing a live show for someone else I try not to double up and put it in here as well. I feel this case is worth an exception. I also apologize for taking a week to put this thing up, but it took me awhile to write the first review (for the people that pay me and got me into the show in the first place) and now it'll be worth your wait because I have found live tracks from the show. The Dismemberment Plan reunited and Respect is Due...in this lifetime. [...]

Okay. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of you that are reading this right now own some type of portable MP3 player. How many of you are still listening through the standard issue earphones that came with your device? Most of you? All of you? Well, you are doing yourself a disservice and you need to get some new earphones. I'm even willing to help you out and give one lucky reader some killer new earphones. Just keep reading. I recently got some of the new Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio earphones [...]

So the rumors (which have been confirmed) are true. The Dismemberment Plan is back, for not just one, but TWO reunion shows in April. They will take place at the Black Cat Club in the band's hometown of Washington, DC on April 27 and 28. The April 28 show is a benefit for Callum Robbins, son of ex-Jawbox, ex-Burning Airlines and Channels front-couple J. and Janet. In an interview with Robbins for MTV.com (several years ago when the first Burning Airlines record was being released), the singer told me that Travis Morrison of the D-Plan was one of [...]
