Dear Readers, I've been out of touch for a little while due to the fact that I was in the hospital for two weeks. It's not easy to talk about since it wasn't my own decision. Things just spiraled out of control and that's where I ended up. Sharing a hospital room with a bipolar, schizophrenic who talked all night to the voices in his head and a crack addict going through withdrawal; was not the most pleasant of experiences. It was a horrible place and really did me no good. In fact, I think it has set [...]

The People to Get Excited About if You're Going to SXSW But Would Like Anyway Even if You Weren't Going Mix You're probably wondering what the hell all those letters mean. Considering the almighty list for SXSW was released a few weeks ago, there's been quite a bit of material that I could have covered. Operative phrase there being "could have." Undoubtedly, it's a gargantuan amount and the time I've had lately has been minuscule. All right! I've been lazy. Regardless, when situations like this arise, a blogger's [...]

As most of you probably know by now, I started my new job two weeks ago. And actually there's plenty of work that needs to be done, as my chair has be vacant for nearly a year. My first bigger task is getting the budget for 2008 finished, which really should have been completed months ago, as you normally would have it ready by the start of a new year. So I've been around for 10 working days (plus a few hours this morning) and now I'm trying to predict the outcome of the year. Don't know if any of [...]
So, we've been blogging for a year now. That's pretty rad. Our totally awesome 'I'm On Blogs' shirts will be for sale online very soon! Probably next week, so start saving pennies! They're awesome! You really want to let everyone know your coolness status online! Anyways, lets do a recap of some of the choice selections we've posted in the past year. Some of my favorite tracks of the year never really got much blog play from anyone else. Groups like Shout Out Out Out Out, Automatic Panic (who we'll be talking about more this week), [...]

I've decided it might be fun to post a new music mix every Sunday. Frankly, it's probably more fun for me creating them than it is for anyone listening to them, but it's my blog and I can be as self-indulgent as I like. Although, this does put pressure on me to actually remember to do this every Sunday - I will probably remember to do this rather than real homework, mind. This first mix is a purely fun one (no music snobbery in this one). It's upbeat and largely electronic. While I have a serious side that [...]

This week, I've gone back to a few artists from last week's mixtape because they were great (The Dimes, Minipop, Maia Hirasawa), then trown in a couple radio-play wonders (Jack Johnson, The Wombats), and sprinkled with several newbies. I've been having trouble this week with a couple of plugins I wrote for WordPress- so if you happen to notice somethings not working properly let me know, would ya? Otherwise, I'm just drawing a blank for things to say. Download the mixtape, listen, enjoy, comment, and I'll be back after the weekend. Tracklisting: [...]
Langsam entwickelt sich das grad zum virtuellen Adventskalender - aber ich bezweifel mal stark, bis zum 24.12. jeden Tag einen weiteren coolen freien Download vorstellen zu können. Nichts desto trotz heute eine Band, die vor Kurzem erst mit den nicht ganz unbekannten IamX getourt ist. The Hourly Radio aus Dallas sind Aaron Closson (Gesang, Gitarre), Ryan Short (Gitarre), Adam Vanderkolk (Drums) und Tim Jansen (Bass). Und machen Electro-Indiepop, der dem von Chris Corner in nichts nachsteht. [...]
The Hourly Radio - Live On WOXY Setlist : Fear Of Standing Upright/Deaf Ears/Not A Victim/Crime Does Pay MP3: The Hourly Radio - Live On WOXY
I have to admit, I never paid much attention to The Hourly Radio . I'd hear people/blogs talking about them, but somehow never got around to giving them a decent listen. That changed just recently, when I noticed they were touring with IAMX (former Sneaker Pimp Chris Corner) through most of October/November. I'm an unabashed fan of sexy, trashy, vaguely goth-y electro, so obviously IAMX is right up my alley. It occurred to me that I might want to investigate their tourmates, and I'm definitely glad I did. Right off the bat, [...]
music : [mp3] pash - the best gun indie girl pop rock. [mp3] the devil makes three - old number seven boot stompy, cold war kidsy (?) - but for some reason the vocal gives me an s. tyler vibe. s. tyler being so lame i can't bear to type his whole name on the blog. [mp3] the vandelles - swell to heaven peep the ramones rip-off in the [...]
TV Notes: Heroes - This week's episode of Heroes was kind of a place holder. It served as an opportunity to fill us in on the whole time gap, while also giving us time to get acquainted with the new characters. Personally, I could pretty much do without the new characters, but I will accept Adam and Veronica Mars as positive additions to the cast. And as much as I know they are setting up
[I'll call this "This Just In ..." -- not a full-on review, but quick impressions of something that just landed on my desk or in my e-mail ...] The tsunami of 2007 releases has slowed to a trickle, but the first wave of 2008 albums awaits. Bobbing its head in and out of the water -- and making its way straight into my CD player -- is "Mission Control," the forthcoming release (Jan. 22 on ATO) from Athens, Ga., three-piece the Whigs [...]
The Hourly Radio release the final download from their new EP GUN IN HAND today. Shiny Toy Guns do a fascinating remix of "Deaf Ears," which sees the song turned into a stomping 7 minute+ epic with STG's production taking over at the 4:20 mark. The EP is available for free download at www.TheHourlyRadio.com/downloa d.html GUNINHAND/DeafEars_STG_remix.m p3 GUN IN HAND EP tracklisting: 1. Gun In [...]
