LOST Season Six Mix

LOST Season Six Mix Tomorrow marks the premiere of the sixth and final season of my favorite television show, LOST . Over the past month, I've been re-watching the entire series to prep myself for its (hopefully) grand conclusion, and I've been so excited I can barely stop to breathe. I'm serious - there has never been a TV show that has gripped me so tightly, occupied so many square inches of my brain, and kept me on the absolute tippiest part of my toes, about to fall straight off my seat. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW. [...]

Terry Reid - River

Terry Reid - River Now on my.... oh, seventh spin of the day through Terry Reid 's 1973 forgotten gem River , I think it's safe to say that I love this record. Ever since I started bringing guest DJs onto the show - and they started bringing their extensive record collections onto the show - I've been growing more and more interested in the great and personally uncharted expanses of the musical past. I had a respectably musical upbringing, but the Donny Hathaways and the Harry Nilssons and [...]

Spoon - Transference

Spoon - Transference If you trace the trajectory of your taste, map the peaks and valleys and the meandering path of interest, you'll find that what you listen to and what you love is the sum of its tributaries - all the introductions and obsessions and adorations of others. That is, if you're me. I believe this is true of everyone in some way, but because of my particular blend of enthusiasm and malleability, I can trace all these branches to their sources, and attribute this chunk of my record collection to that boy with the pretty eyes, and this fleeting flirtation with [...]

Playlist - January 11 - Patrick Rodgers of A Record A Day

I have to say, my favorite guest-DJed shows are the ones where I go home at the end of the night thinking, "damn, I have to track down a bunch of those albums." Last night was completely one of those shows, and it was only the tip of the iceberg: not only did Patrick Rodgers play a ton of great tunes worth checking out, you can also check out what he's listening to on a daily basis over at A Record A Day . On Monday night we celebrated his 200th album review on [...]

Out the Other's Favorite Songs of 2009 - #5-#1

#5 - The Non-Commissioned Officers - " Frozen Tongue " (from Make-Out With Violence ) The Non-Coms made last year's list too - without even releasing a proper album. This year saw the band return to the stage, along with the long-anticipated release of the Make-Out With Violence soundtrack - forty-four tracks strong and loaded with more gems than most bands produce in their entire careers. Aside from the tracks I was already familiar with, "Frozen Tongue" was the standout for me - you can't deny that delectable guitar [...]

Out the Other's Favorite Songs of 2009 - #10-#6

#10 - Emmy the Great - " Absentee " (from First Love ) For a while I was 100% head-over-heels obsessed with this song early this year, around the time I was making a mix for a friend - so I titled the mix "No Stitches" from a line taken from the song. The melody is gorgeous - and though it's strange to count a song about loss among my favorites this year, it's because Emmy completely holds my heart in her hand. #9 - [...]

Out the Other's Favorite Songs of 2009 - #15-#11

#15 - Thee Oh Sees - " Enemy Destruct " (from Help ) Thee Oh Sees were one of the first bands I caught at this year's SXSW, and this song burrowed itself into my memory that night, so that when I picked up a copy of Help , I was instantly obsessed. Even when I stopped listening to the record regularly I kept coming back to this song. #14 - Passion Pit - " Little Secrets " (from [...]

Out the Other's Favorite Songs of 2009 - #20-#16

#20 - Here We Go Magic - " Tunnelvision " (from Here We Go Magic ) Kicking off this list with a smooth start is "Tunnelvision," from Here We Go Magic's self-titled debut. It was nice to see Luke Temple take this interesting turn in 2009, and I wish I had the chance to see the band when they swung through Nashville this year (though I did see them at SXSW). This song babbles along with a ripply surface like a mid-paced mountain stream, and may [...]

Xmas Radio: The Beach Boys - "The Man With All The Toys"

Xmas Radio: The Beach Boys - "The Man With All The Toys" This is probably total blasphemy, but I'm pretty much over "Little Saint Nick." Originally released as a single in 1963, the song has "run run reindeer"-ed its way past my years for twenty nine Christmas seasons, and while it's a fun little holiday tune (I'd never say it's BAD or anything), I could probably handle giving it a rest for a few years. No, seriously. Of all the songs on The Beach Boys' Christmas Album , it's the one I usually end up skipping. Released in 1964, the Beach Boys [...]

Xmas Radio: Ferlin Husky - "In Santa's Bag"

Xmas Radio:  Ferlin Husky - "In Santa's Bag" Now in my seventh year as a Nashville girl, I'm finally warming up to the country side of Christmas - at least the more classic side of the spectrum, which goes over just as smoothly as the Bings and Nat Kings of the season. I mean, it's hard NOT to love a Christmas album that looks like the one above, right? And I am so madly in love with the name Ferlin Husky it's not even funny. So country up your Christmas this year with Christmas All Year Long [...]
