My favorite Yo La Tengo song is from the album And Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out . The song is Night Falls on Hoboken . And while it is my favorite YLT song, it is not the song I send people to when they want to learn more about YLT's music. Yo La Tengo - Night Falls On Hoboken The song is a beast of a track and not for everyone. It is over 17 minutes long – starting off as a slow strummer, gradually [...]
In high school Mass Media class, we learned a lot about advertising. But what I remember most is "subliminal" advertising. We were shown magazine clippings where a couple on the beach in a Jantzen swimsuit ad were being blown on (seductively?) by a face in the water, or a bottle of alcohol that contained a hidden naked woman in the glass reflection. So now when I look at ads, I always try to look for the hidden features. So imagine my surprise when I opened the Best Buy booklet and found the saddest washing machine in the world [...]
What happens when Pip meets an undead beauty in trouble? You know there'll be an adventure or two and some wackiness! My Favorite - My Life with the Living Dead
C ontrary to what this picture may suggest (or what you have may have heard), I cannot play a note.

The Blue Horizon band played 3 songs "Turn it on again" by Genesis, and "Conditioning" and [...]
T he 80s music scene in South Florida was dismal. For a young person set to expand their musical horizons you had two directions - Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine or Hard Rock. I went to Pittsburgh for college in '87, and wound up winning a contest to see a band for their album release party. That band was The Affordable Floors. And between the lush keyboard sweeps, the scream-singing and the drummer beating his way through every song like it was the only way he would survive, I was hooked and proudly wore a pin on my [...]
Some people mark their time with weekly events, such as having sushi every friday or that one cigarette at the end of the day. Lately, I have been marking my time with True Blood episodes. Every Sunday, this little ragtag bunch of vampires, shapeshifters and Paquins entertains me with their antics and such. This is a bit odd for me, as apart from the Simpsons and Homicide: Life on the Street, I've never been much for TV series loyalty. So in honor of Monday (the day that I re-watch the episode), here are some vampiric music interludes to get you [...]

I am proud to be posting our first musical link. This is the "Other Father Song" by They Might Be Giants. My handlers went to see this movie and brought back the 3D glasses. They made me try them on, and I saw pretty, swirly colors. Then I barfed.
Welcome to our website. Our "handlers" will be posting more information shortly.
