I hope you're all relaxing and enjoying this Sunday evening. I on the other hand am completely exhausted. Two Christmas parties last night on opposite sides of town and late-night drinking escapades handicapped my workday. Now here I sit, trying to put together a mix tape for you when really all I want to do [...]

No better way to spend a Sunday night than grilling cheese dogs and brats with friends on Mt. Washington, drinking someone's home-brewed chocolate stout.

The Weird Weeds Help Me Name Melody (2010, Autobus Records) RIYL = Deerhoof, Blonde Redhead What can I say about The Weird Weeds? That they’re perennially underrated? Sure, but I don’t think that The Weird Weeds are much worried about popularity contests or receiving their rightful due. What I can say is this: among their tight, airy, outsider indie-pop discography, Help Me Name Melody is their best. Really, it’s a towering, intelligent achievement that spotlights all of the subtleties of what makes The Weird Weeds so great. And that’s just it, it's [...]
für Euch schmeisse ich gern die phrasen ins schwein oder hole die motten hinterm ofen hervor. für nichts bin ich mir zu schade. wenn ich also the weird weeds vorstellen will und habe keine aktuellen mp3s zur verfügung, dann müssen auch mal ein paar alte tracks herhalten. dass es diese durchaus mit dem neuesten auswurf aufnehmen können, steht auf einem anderen blatt, ist aber in sachen vergleichbarkeit alles andere als vernachlässigbar. mit der band, deren name eine unmenge impliziert, zaubern wir eine experimental pop band, wie ich es gestochen formulieren möchte, aber nicht aus der hohlen hand hervor. [...]

RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I am using songs from Ilya's CD collection. He's sick right now, so I'm sitting only kind-of next to him, and drinking a stiff Emergen-C cocktail. It tastes like ass but hopefully I won't get [...]
I didn't deliberately time the creation of this blog to coincide with the Jewish New Year, a day of celebration and renewal ordinarily commemorated through consumption of apples and honey in hopes of a sweet new year to come. Indeed, given the odd lunar cycle of the Jewish calendar, it is purely coincidental that we find ourselves here today, once again looking back and looking forward , in the midst of a more spiritual mandate to do the same. Problematically, however, I said it all pretty clearly back at the six-month mark. [...]

Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week's theme is sleeplessness, because I have not been sleeping well the past three nights. Stress at work and stress at home, plus Nicci's being away for the week, has really taken its toll on me. So, [...]
Hello there fellow adventurers. I would like to recount some highlights of my weekend for you. Let's start with Friday. I had just worked the first 10 hour work day of my life (more of those coming next week, yuck) and dazedly returned home around 5:30. Dinner was served and provided me with my commentary for the evening. I won't get into it, but let's just say I had a stomach ache, and it was my own damn fault for A. having poor communication skills, and B. using way too much butter to fry [...]
