Windsor For the Derby spent the last year and a half writing and recording How We Lost . Holed up for days on end in their Philadelphia studio, they recorded and re-recorded obsessively until every sound was exactly where they wanted it. Despite the connotation of its title, How We Lost is a reflective record and, in its own way is about the band and the ways the band has changed over the years, the things they hold onto and what's been left behind. Windsor For The Derby will release How We Lost on [...]
Nine days after he was crowned homecoming king at Lake Fenton (Mich.) High School, Eli Florence died Sunday afternoon at his home. He was 15. Eli became the emotional center of attention in the Flint, Mich., suburb and beyond when, on Oct. 5, five of his friends at Lake Fenton High -- four football players and a golfer -- opted to forgo their own chances to be the school's homecoming king and agreed as a group to honor the terminally ill sophomore and former teammate. In a world [...]

image from here Oblivion - the condition or state of being forgotten or unknown But the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity. - Thomas Browne Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion. - Philip Wylie Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next [...]
On Windsor's 4th full length , the group seem to have left their dark shadows in the past, instead pursuing a similar path to the elegant D. Matz/M. Gira ( The Swans / Young God Records ) collaborative effort. The outcome is a dramatically different approach in songwriting, setting aside their rythmic instrumental tendencies for a more vocal oriented approach to traditional folk and pop songs. Emotional Rescue begins as a love song like a movie sunrise, warm but haunting. Now I Know The Sea encourages connections with [...]
So today, as everyone undoubtedly knows, is the 461st anniversary of the Council of Trent! Yeah, I've got a mod-Europe history exam tonight... Therefore, in lieu of exam-time, and the different music-listening-while-studying habits we all have, I figured this would be a good excuse to share some music that helps me study. Procrastinate: ? verb delay or postpone action. Tried, tested, and truly excruciating. Knowing about the exam for 3 weeks means nothing, it's now the night before the test - cram cram cram. Spastic and [...]

It was one of those weekends where I said: "I really hope there's not any shows, because I'm not particularly sorry I've missed them!" I'm not sure how that happened, but I was just so exhausted I couldn't think about going out; I think Pinkie felt the same. The weather's changing and the pollen is high, and everyone looks kind of dazed and spacey. Especially if you spent time on Factory People's roof last Thursday night when that weird cold front came in. For the record, though, this Tuesday night is promising: [...]
