Is it still Friday? Good Friday? Beaster Friday? I wanted to get my Friday Rock Clip of the Week clip up before Saturday AM kicked in. Well. It's already there in the Mid and East Coasts, but I'm here in the sunny desert and I'm not yet at 11pm, so I qualify. Tonight, after wine wine and more wine, I was (am) (is?) watching a Giorgio Gomelsky clip on YouTube tonight, shot by cool old NYC rock-punk videographer PUNKCAST and saw that PUNKCAST had shot a video of NYC band The Octagon [...]
That's right, kids, today is the day of senior banquet, the time in every Smithie's life wherein she dresses up and drinks with her house mates and tells long and rambling stories about people nobody but the seniors know, and they all think this is hilarious, and the rest of the house is either mildly amused or downright bored, but they tolerate it, because in a few years, they'll get to do the same thing. Actually, that sounds like a lot of times in every Smithie's life. Except now there's Indian food. Indian House downtown must LOVE this [...]

Okkervil River - "Unless It's Kicks". It's not just one of the greatest songs of the year - it's one of the wisest. Sheff sings with an urgency that is like an underlining of key phrases, like two hands tugging to make sure all the seams hold. And whereas wisdom's so often dull, here it's knotted up in the work of a band who love the Shangri-Las, and Sam Cooke, and the craft of a pop song. I'd not be sad if every Okkervil River song sounded like this: shaker, tambourine, a revelation at the moment you go leaping off [...]

I'm a little soft. You get older and the louder the music gets the more you find yourself turning the volume down. Punk is an absolute no-no. Metal, never a favorite, is all but banned in our household. Coltrane's ballads yes, Coltrane's free jazz no. So what's left is new wave pop-rock. That I can take. The Octagon have been around for a decade and have been compared to The Replacements, Husker Du and on and on. Lately they've admitted to getting back into The Feelies and you can almost hear that in the [...]
