Tis a momentous landmark here on the Coachella 2010 countdown...only 30 days left! That's like...a month! So close now...after a long Ohio winter with only occasional outbreaks of live music to amuse me, in thirty days we descend on the desert for three days of pure musical bliss! Today's artist of the day will be Austin's Spoon...since there is that other little musical get together happening right now in Texas. Having file hosting issues again...so instead sharing of an MP3 off the new record like I wanted to do, I can only offer up some youtube [...]
Chat Roulette - w4m - 21 (Chicago-Ohio) Date: 2010-03-13, 3:28AM EST Reply To This Post My roommate and I were goofing around on Chat Roulette tonight. It was our first time. You asked us what we were doing on there. We said it was drunk boredom. I told you that you looked like Conor Oberst and you said you were blushing. [...]
She is Zooey Deschanel. He is M. Ward. They are today's Coachella artist of the day. Here is a new one from the forthcoming, aptly titled 'Volume 2' * She & Him - 'Lingering Still' MP3
Cup O'Joe at Easton Sunday afternoon - w4m - 37 (Easton) Date: 2010-03-15, 12:37PM EDT Reply To This Post You: Tall, slim, good looking man at the coffee bar at Cup O'Joes at Easton Sunday (3/14) afternoon. Probably around 2 PM. You stood at the coffee bar awaiting your drink for a moment, right in front of me. I stopped breathing. Brown hair with [...]
I have to admit, that after doing this for more than 40 straight days, I am starting to forget who I have already blogged about...ah, the awesome side effects of aging and youthful indiscretions. But, then I saw this little bit of comedy this morning, and it hit me that I haven't posted the Strokes front man Julian Casablancas yet. * 'River Of Brakelights' MP3

Today's Coachella artist of the day is one that I know next to nothing about, I am not even going to try and fool ya. And for the big music geek that I am, this why I love Coachella so much, getting exposed to artists and even genres that I wouldn't otherwise think twice about. So, here we go...uncharted pop music territory * Little Boots - 'Earthquake' MP3
Listening to the beautiful new record from Laura Marling, 'I Speak Because I Can'...and trying to come to terms with the fact that one of my favorite singer/songwriters was born in 1990. The record drops on March 22nd(in the UK at least)...a must have. * 'Rambling Man' MP3
you are my english teacher - w4m (OSU) Date: 2010-03-12, 3:59AM EST Reply To This Post You seem like kind of a dork and you are always making jokes and references that no one laughs at but you seem pretty cool in a Stephen Malkmus look-alike kind of way. I run into you outside of class quite often, usually at odd hours of the night [...]
Today's Coachella spotlight act is - and I am excited to used this next phrase, as it will more than likely be the only time in my life that I get to do so - are New Jersey based indie rock legends, Yo La Tengo. The band was formed in Hoboken in 1984 and are still going strong!! And somehow, I have never seen them play(I have seen Bush play...TWICE, but never Yo La Tengo?)... so i am looking forward to finally fixing that in Indio. * 'Our Way [...]

Full disclosure: I have never been a huge Blur fan, and I only casually listened to the first two Gorillaz records. I didn't dislike them, but I also wouldn't consider either album essential listening. And, I love to watch musicians, so the idea of watching their animated set at Coachella isn't a real high priority for me. I am, however, happy that they have added Mos Def to the mix for this latest record. His presence alone makes me like 'Plastic Beach' better than its predecessors. * 'Sweepstakes' MP3
Today's Coachella artist of the day, The Cribs, are no longer just a family affair. Legendary former Smiths and Modest Mouse axe man Johnny Marr has been playing with the Brothers Jarman for the last couple of years. Mr. Marr has to be one of the coolest mercenary guitar players in rock history! Here is a tune off of the band's 2009 release 'Ignore The Ignorant.' * 'Victim Of Mass Production' MP3
Been listening to too much Abraham-Hicks - 31 (the vortex) Date: 2010-02-25, 3:01PM EST Reply To This Post i am a very spiritual woman. and so i know that i alone create my circumstances. it has been a long time since i've had a serious relationship, and even longer since i actually shared a real connection with somebody. so in the [...]
The Portland band Mimicking Birds have just released a brand new self-titled ablum, which unfortunately I do not have yet. I do have their gorgeous 2009 EP ,however, 'Home And Somewhere Else' and it appears that a few tracks are on both releases. The band has been championed by fellow by fellow Pacific Northwesterner and Modest Mouse leader Issac Brock, which is how I first heard about the band...on a blog post of his I believe. * 'Cabin Fever' MP3
Busy day yesterday, virtually no internet down time...so I need to post two bands to get the countdown back on track this morning. So...how about a super group double dip... * The Dead Weather - 'I Cut Like A Buffalo' MP3 * Them Crooked Vultures - 'Mind Eraser No Chaser' MP3
"You want it all but you can't have it..." My God, I was a freshman in high school when this album blew up! Now, 21 years later...I will finally get to see it performed live...thank you Coachella. * 'Epic' MP3
It's been a reflective, sentimental Sunday. It's a sad part of the process for me. Anytime a beloved musician passes away, I start recollecting over all of these awesome people who have wandered in and out of my life, and the songs I used to associate with them. Music as therapy I suppose. That was me thinking out loud, instigated by this song...can't wait to see Deerhunter in the desert. * Deerhunter -'Saved By Old Times' MP3
I am here with a heavy heart. The mad genius behind one of my all time favorite bands- Sparklehorse- has passed away. I feel like someone just sucked the wind out of me. Thank you for the music Mark, and for the hours upon hours of beautiful inspiration, distraction, and motivation...whenever I needed it, I just pressed play. Eternal sigh... * 'Sad And Beautiful World' MP3 * 'Some Sweek Day' MP3
Busy, busy day... on the go non stop...just dropping by my blog for a second to push the Coachella coundtown one day closer to liftoff. On my way way to see Two Cow Garage at my very favorite Columbus bar, the Rumba Cafe...which is where I saw Deer Tick when they were in town. So, seems like a good day for Deer Tick...awesome live band, looking forward to seeing them again in April. * 'Smith Hill' MP3
