Coachella Artist O'the Day: 66 Days To Go

Sia - Breathe Me (Six Feet Under Finale)
I am such a big fan of those rare moments in a film or a television show that are able to completely capture the perfect symmetry between scene and song. I think it stems from my constant need to soundtrack everything momentous in my own life, I just get genuinely thrilled when I see it done so well on screen. One of these rare moments for me, was in the series finale to the dearly departed HBO show Six Feet Under. That was really long winded way of saying today's Coachella artist [...]

True Devotion

Another record I have been commuting with a lot lately is the latest from one of my favorite trobadour's, Rocky Votolato. The album is 'True Devotion' and it is filled with beautifully written, straight to the point folk rock songs. It's making February sound so much better over here. It hits stores on Feb 23...here is a little preview. * 'Eyes Like Static' MP3

Coachella Artist O'the Day: 67 Days To Go

Today's Coachella spotlight shines on Australian singer/songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke , who I think I actually posted about a few months back. If memory serves, I rambled on about how much of a guilty pleasure her album 'Curiouser' is for me. I am, at heart, a pop music lover. And Ms. Miller-Heidke sings some mighty infectious pop songs. Here is one of those songs, enjoy. * 'Caught In The Crowd' MP3

Coachella Artist O'the Day: 68 Days To Go

Coachella Artist O'the Day: 68 Days To Go I am taking the high road here and putting all of my personal issues with this band aside. I will just pretend that they didn't totally steal my mojo with the name The Whitest Boy Alive, even though I have held that title since AT LEAST 1995. But I digress. The Whitest Boy Alive are a band out of Berlin who make music that you move your feet to. Here is a tune off of their 2009 'Rules' album. * 'High On The Heels' [...]

Feel Guilty? Do you need Spanked?- 45 (Reynoldsburg) Date: 2010-02-05, 6:26PM EST Reply To This Post Emotional guilt and sorrow can often times be relieved, even permanently, with a simple spanking by an experienced disciplinarian. Saying you're sorry is usually not enough to settle a person's emotions especially if the guilt is strong. Everyone needs the sense of having paid some price for whatever indescretion or misdeed that is causing [...]

Devo - Whip It (Video)
Before getting to today's artist, a quick history lesson may be required as I realize that many of you who stumble across this blog can't even remember living in a pre-internet age. I promise I'll be brief. Many, many years ago the channel on your cable tv known as MTV 2 used to play something called "music videos." The reason MTV 2 was created was because it's mother network, MTV, which also used to play these music videos, ceased doing so. Instead of music, MTV started to produce nothing but really bad reality TV - mostly focusing on the dating [...]
