I feel a somewhat close connection to the work of Kristin Hersh , from her Throwing Muses days, through her solo albums, and her most recent trio, 50 Foot Wave . It's not just because I've been religiously listening to her songs and buying her ouput for over 15 years, but also because her music is semi-sort-of responsible for my fatefully finding Amie. It was May of 2000, and while the Muses hadn't been a band for a few years, they surprisingly reappeared to play something called ' The Gut Pageant ' [...]
Porn music that is. Not a sex tape with Kid Rock. Thanks Flaunting It for pointing us to the two songs Eddie Van Halen's composed for Sacred Sin, Michael Ninn's forthcoming adult film we talked about last month. "I'm working...

Yep, poor them, subject to all those pernicious influences out there, dodgy Wicker Man remakes (someone bring us the head of Nicholas Cage), Star Wars DVDs where Greedo shoots first, shoulderbags...

When I first heard this song my immediate comparison was Jawbox meets Rocket From the Crypt. I'm a huge fan of both of those bands so this one gets the Monday "kick me in the pants with rock stuff" feature. I write these reviews the night before they go on so please be assured I will be in my office hungover as you read this. Beer count is at 9. This band could probably be any band but

I tried to find just a couple minutes to squeeze in some info for this post... But my work day was long, not particularly arduous, but one in which time for lil' moment for personal reflection was severely limited. With the politics & murderous chaos around the world reaching a horrendous boiling point, i can't even begin there, and it's all enough to make ya more than sick . So I will not even begin to speculate on any of it... Been rambling, rolling and not getting much sleep this week... so [...]

Tim Kinsella started Joan Of Arc in 1996 with a revolving cast of friends and musicians from his days, in the suburban Chicago punk scene. Ten years later, Tim presents the intelligent music that designed all of the talented Joan of Arc´s career. First of all, this is not an easy record to assimilate. Put 'The Intelligent Design of Joan of Arc' on the stereo and it's as cleverly obscure and exceptionally gorgeous as (beautiful weird) pop with (polished) folk overtones can be. Now, as an experience of discovery, lean closer to your speakers and you notice that your ears [...]
Now this is nice. A gorgeous and plaintive song from the new Milroys album. Controversially, there's not much pedal steel; but there is love, drink, men, women, wonder and redemption all wrapped... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit MyWebsite.com for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Woke up on the couch after a surprisingly good night of sleep. First order of business was to take a shower. When I turned on my computer there was an e-mail from Jason Molina telling me to call him ASAP because he was free today and would like to sit down and talk as early as possible. I got dressed and drove over to the Panera on Peterson because it's the only place I really remember how to get to from Jet's apartment, and there's free WiFi. I made the rounds, reading e-mails and sending a few IMs, and then [...]
