Pic: Cobra Snake Remember when everyone thought the Scenario Rock - Both Gotta Move On "Hey Champ" remix was the SebastiAn remix? People, it turns out the "Hey Champ" remix is not, in fact, the SebastiAn remix. Considering how much hype this guy gets, the Sebastian remix is surprisingly on the DL. It hasn't leaked yet, or so it seems. However, you can hear the song in its entirety at Scenario Rock's Myspace , or simply purchase the "Both Gotta Move On" single, including the said remix, at Arcade Mode . [...]
Well, the horses are out of the gates and it's official: 2008 has taken off in full force. The death of Heath Ledger validates the fact that a new year has begun; the first celebrity death--and not without the sting of loss, poignancy and tears-to-be-shed. I can see the yearbook's first few pages with Ledger's face all over. Remember that day he died? We were socially conscious when he first came to fame in 10 Things I Hate About You . Though we were still young, we even got the Shakespeare reference. Then the movies continued and we grew, [...]
Better to be late than to never post anything, and I apologize to my fellow blogger for falling into such a slump recently. Hopefully posting this will induce to me to to follow up with more postings. What can be said about 2007? For independent music, the year was huge, and the idea of non-independent music is a shadowy figure on the horizon I can't make out. And it's not to say that independent is cool, that it is trendy to adopt the idea of being independent and using it as a marketing scheme in itself (Radiohead), but [...]
I have to admit, lately, I've been watching, quite religiously, Lost. Albeit, three or four years after it first came out, but now that you can watch all three episodes online for free , I've been devoting a lot of my free time to catching up. This evening, after coming home from work, I decided it was the perfect time to watch another episode. By god, if it wasn't the best one I've seen so far. After Kate and Sawyer played the "I never" drinking game, I had to pour a drink myself: the only thing I had: vodka [...]
Yesterday while I was at Amoeba, Weston called me. His voice sounded urgent: "Dude, Michel Gondry is speaking at the Apple Store tonight." We had already waited in line to see a free screening of There Will Be Blood last week and failed that, so we wanted to get to this event really early. We headed downtown at half past 3 and walked down Market cigarette in hand. We were putting our cigarettes out as the store came into view. From a distance we could see a line of only two girls. I told [...]
Last Friday I made the mistake of taking my bike to work without checking the "weather report"--that is to say without looking outside my window. Sure, it was raining, but I underestimated the intensity. As I coasted down the first hill in my limited periphery (closed in by the flaps of my jacket's hood) I could see small branches, pine needles and bits of trash on both sides of the street. The farther I went the more debris there was; until, as I hit my brakes to watch for cars at the intersection, I saw a huge fallen tree, gnarly [...]
of Alex Teplitzky 10. Arcade Fire- Neon Bible With every album, Arcade Fire grows stronger. Although with Neon Bible, they're only picking up where they left off from Funeral, but they move steadily forward in production, melodies and, most notably, lyrical strength. The album takes an Oberstian twist; a sense of doom and armageddon run amok on nearly every song. Lyrics like "Same old [...]
Man it feels great coming up on some GOOD records. Had been feeling down on my luck musically the past few weeks, actually since the last time i DJed at Delta. Definitely not as fun when familiar faces aren't around. Picked up some awesome records, a few which i had been looking for a while, which really brought my faith back into music. Found a Yaz and Midnight Star record for a buck a piece. I must say that i have become quite fond of the Ohio Post - Funk [...]
It's that time of year that feels less and less like that time of year. In short, I'm very ready to die. What's left? We here at LETTHEREBENIGHT are prepared to deliver you a great new year. We started this blog only a few months ago, and thus far, have enjoyed minimal success, success nonetheless. A new year, new artists; 2008 will be a good year, and hopefully we will be there to sift through bad, to deliver the goods. As for now, I wish all our satisfied readers and friends [...]
These things start sneaking up on you at this age. When I was a kid, this kind of distance from christmas was still forever away. The other day I realized that sometimes songs can make me so happy that I have this weird desire to somehow give the song to friends as gifts. As though one song can be so good that it has the potential to match the status of a true gift that you buy in a store or make yourself. Anyway, the best things in life are free--and if not, they are often 50% off in select [...]
