2008 is over and 2009 is sure to bring us some great music to be excited about. Because of this change I present you with some tunage to add a soundtrack to the transition between years. This isn't really a themed mix - so don't expect there to be tons of songs about transitions/moving on/impending disaster/change/Barack Obama. It's a mix that has bunch of stuff that I hadn't gotten around to putting in a mix or tracks I'd been saving so I could feature them accurately. This mix is a bit more indie slanting than my last few. It's been [...]

Mezzanine Owls-"Snow Globe" Because it never snows in Los Angeles, we're forced to romanticize it. The first draft of "White Christmas," originally chided a spoiled Angeleno,"longing to be up North on December 24," surrounded by sunshine, green grass and swaying palms. The closest you get to white winters are weekend trips to Big Bear, truckloads of artificial snow carted in for winter wonderlands, and the bathroom stalls at Hyde. [...]
A post that's apropos of absolutely nothing other than the fact that I heard and fell in love with this song last night, courtesy of one roommate and one good friend. The Veronicas - Untouched That opening string bit had me at 'hello'. Listen as needed. Love it ad nauseum. The Veronicas - Untouched [ iTunes ] (Thanks Matt )

The Veronicas - Untouched That opening string bit had me at 'hello'. Listen as needed. Love it ad nauseum. I'll have an mp3 of it once I have a computer/someone puts up a copy better than FM radio quality.
There has been a lot said, both positive and negative, about the influence of PitchforkMedia.com on music. Pitchfork proponents hail it as a one-stop-shop for trustworthy opinions on music that don't pander to the masses. A brain-trust of witty, insightful writers combine to make a whole lot of music available to the masses. A favorable review from the King of Hipster Media can vault an unknown band into the spotlight (see: Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Titus Andronicus), giving opportunities to bands without huge advertising budgets, savvy managers, or more than a [...]

The Veronicas - This Is How It Feels "When you wait for a call that never comes" I know I'm way behind when it comes to these girls, but their excellent second album just finally came out in the States so I've been listening to it a lot lately. And I gotta say, if you've skipped this album in the past, you've gotta check it out because it really is excellent. The singles are [...]
A lighter release week, but still a few goodies. The new Dragonforce record with the awesome cover is out. B.B. King proves he's still got it with some new material at the young age of 82. Delta Spirit , a personal California favorite of mine, is what I'm looking forward to. And if you're a Johnny Cash collector, the new 2-disc collection of material he did with George Jones should do you good. :: Alias , Resurgam (Anticon) :: [...]
[Source: Egotastic] Well this should stir some heated debate among those hardcore "Veronicas" fans, but apparently risqué photos of Lisa Marie Origliasso surfaced on the web, most notably, "Egotastic's" website of her in fishnet stockings posing in the nude in a provocative situation..... Well if you want this blog's opinion she has a nice fucking rack. which is expected with females from
Usually im a hater of the veronicas... but i can appreciate these alleged pieces of art.... Particularly the very "talented" Jess. The photo above has been confirmed as real. There is still some ambiguity concerning the below alt tits. At what point does it seem like a good idea to allow your boyfriend/girlfriend/mailman, to take photos of you nude, if you have any sort of fame. Here are the alleged photos of Jess from the veronicas nips. [...]
I couldn't let today go by without honoring my mother, my grandmother and all the other wonderful mothers out there. I love you mom! To each of you a wonderful Mother's Day! Maybe these songs don't quite honor our mother's in the way we should today (uh, Danzig?), but title-wise they fit the bill! Hey, at least I tried! Elliott Smith's beautiful and heart-wrenching words will forever be burned in my heart and mind. This track comes from the beautiful tribute album To: Elliott From: Portland. [...]

While I work on my thoughts about Linda Bengtzing's new album, I thought we'd flash back to her first album. I expect most people with interest in it may already own it, though, so I thought I'd use a slightly different approach; even if it's fairly--if not totally--well-known that Linda Bengtzing's debut album contained a cover (at least one), that subject at least has a chance of being new to people. You may have picked up on the fact that Linda's album track "Vad Hände Sen," a kind of dramatic rocky mid-tempo ballad with a powerful chorus, [...]
"I'm tired of my life. I feel so in between. I'm sick of all my friends. Girls can be so mean." The Veronicas ~ Hook Me Up from the Hook Me Up single by The Veronicas Thanks for reading my blog! xoxo, ashley
This is the blogging equivalent of going for broke. As much as I would love to give each band a nice little review which they can then quote on their myspace or website if they are really desperate, I don't have the time at the moment. So I might as well not sit on any of them any longer (I have a lot of these tracks for months) and just give them to you. Some of these bands have had a lot more exposure than others, so it'll be interesting to see them next to each other. Hold onto tight [...]
