Bloggers are fickle, totally. It's not like I set out to totally stop checking email's and writing and everything involved with blogging; it just happened. I would apologize but "I'm sorry I'm not sorry." When a project starts to eat up a good amount of your time without much compensation it's usually time to stop. This blog started out as a passion, then turned into more of a "job" to me than fun. So when the fun ceased, so did I. I know there is still lots of fun to be had, I've just alot to deal with until then. [...]
Just came up on this video from The Grouch. Just one word with three little words come to mind, RAD. The album "Show You the World" drops April 8, 2008. There is a couple MP3's for download on their website so make sure to grab em. The Grouch Website
I haven't heard "The B-52's" in years. Do you remember singing along to that one song right...? LOVE SHACK BABY YA LOVE SHACK or something like that. Anyways, I mildly shocked to find out they are coming out with a new album this month. "FUNPLEX" is due out March 25th and it's being marketed as "the first record of the 21st century from The B-52s!" hahah awesome. Lets get one thing straight, I'm young, I remember listening to them when I was 15 or so... who knows. "Love Shack" practically always played on the radio and I watched the video [...]
Paul Ford over at The Morning News does not mess around when it comes getting reviews done. Best of all - his system is great, everything in six or so words and anywhere from one to five circles. My favorite is the one circle aka "Kill Me." if you listen to alot of different music you totally feel that one. There is lots of music to go over so dig right in: Six-Word Reviews of 763 SXSW Mp3s Want to get your own 763 songs? Download the Torrent and SHARE!
So SXSW is in full force this week. Bringing millions of hipsters, douches, techies, and also a bunch of regular people to Austin Texas. I'm not there this year, again. For the past 4 years I've told myself - "I gotta go to South By Southwest this year." It hasn't happened yet. I'll eventually make it out there probably after I finish up college sometime around a year. If you read music blogs, I know that there is alot of people taking blogging about it so go find yourself some of that action. For myself, I don't want [...]
"After Hours" is the latest single off of We Are Scientists second full-length album - "Brain Thrust Mastery" which drops here in the U.S on Tuesday March 17. If you didn't know W.A.S has been one of my favorite bands for awhile now. I can't help it, sometimes it's an addiction. The first time I heard the song it's definitely W.A.S style, just a little more polished. You can definately tell they've learned alot from the exposure off their first album, "With Love and Squalor." As for this video, it is one of [...]
I'll take this time to officially say, "I'm Back" (mostly). I am still tons behind my email so I barely know what's even going on right now but check out the new site design!? Lets talk about a few things to catch you up... Notes about Musicglob now: For a very long time I've wanted to build alot of things into MusicGlob. Mostly alot of things I realized not one person can handle. Blogs today (and back when I started the MusicGlob in 2005) have alot of potential and ease to build pretty [...]

WELL... I don't know, but I'm finding out right now. Here's what I predict will happen. I'll use the handy "2 minute rule" per email SWEET! 8000 minutes! According to Google , that is roughly 133 hours! get aggrevated... delete ALOT of email... respond to some get fed up archive / delete everything over a month old whew... time to redesign.... AGG Also, I am glad to say I finally [...]
I have no idea how old or new it is but I like it. Well I've always liked Cut Copy. Watch Cut Copy - Lights and Music at LifeLounge Keep an eye out for a little redesign here. I'm scaling back on "acutal blogging" and we'll be doing shorter posts because it's time to get the glob going again. word.
Obviously I've been on a blogging hiatus for the past I don't even know how many months. I'll be honest, I got burned out. A few other opportunities came my way and I decided to take them and let my music blogging passion slip by the way side. I apologize to all the readers, bands, media editors for my lack of responding to your emails. I have rarely checked for the past months and am quite stressed to wonder how many unread emails I have. THE FUTURE: There is [...]
You know I've been not writing about anything and missing out on alot of things. My emails are piling sky high and I've only had the time and effort to glance at them every now and - which is far too little for my glob o music. Anyways, just because I haven't written stuff here in awhile doesn't mean I haven't been listening to music... and there has been some good music out as of late. For now, lets talk about Kanye West. Kanye West - Graduation [...]
go get it. now. inrainbows.com the website is really slow for me. i think everybody is trying to get on right now.
I can't decide what I want to do with this site RIGHT NOW. I have things that I want to do as time goes by... just as I've always wanted to do. But I want to make a nice change RIGHT NOW. Coming back from long vacations is always hard to do... especially when you work alot. I haven't wanted to neglect this blog, something had to give and it was this. Kinda sad since muiscglob is what I've always enjoyed writing. I was thinking this morning that amidst my redesign and other new things I already have [...]
yaaaa sooooo I'm on vacation for the rest of the month and when I get back it's time to lock this place down. In the mean time my buddy Ben shot me this video, Super Mal featuring Luciana. She's mega hot. It's also a pretty sexy song.
I've never been one to get all that excited about whatever new ipod came out. It wasn't that big of a deal when they went all color screen because I already had an iRiver and it was awesome. The iPod interface has always been the winner. Now things just got interesting. The iPod touch is basically the iPhone - with out the phone. Yeah, all the same features, even wifi web browsing and the multi-touch screen that is freaking awesome in so many ways. I'm actually excited about it, now I could have an iPhone [...]
I will have a new version of musicglob up including some new features and some ideas for a blog/review series. Until then, have a good Labor day weekend. Enjoy some beer and sunshine or whatever makes you relax.
I've admitted in the past and I'll admit it right now... If you have album artwork that catches my attention like A Shoreline Dreams did, I will listen to your music and I will b extremely happy when I end up liking it like I do now. I apologize for the run on sentences, it's just what I do. I first heard of A Shoreline Dream around the time they released their first album voiding The Consequences which had some good tracks on it. Their COASTAL EP that came out in the [...]
My poor glob has been neglected recently. Like an old friend I lost touch with. The glob is coming back, lots of things in the works. In between now and then, LETS DANCE!!! Junior Senior just released their latest album the other week titled Hey Hey My My Yo Yo. It's off the hook. Full of dope beats and tracks that make you have fun even when you think you can't. It's got the disco vibe to it at times and for whatever reason that makes me think of Boogie Nights. Remember the [...]
