Hello, Blue Roses - Shadow Falls My little brother just came up to me and sheepishly asked if we could have Pizza Hut for dinner. We grew up in Asia, and any American chain restaurant - including Pizza Hut and McDonald's - was a rare treat. Even now that we've lived in the United States a couple years, we treat such delicatessens as delicacies. Sure, kid, we can have Pizza Hut for dinner.

Who : Spoon Title : Got Nuffin' Release Date : June 30th Label : Merge Records Thoughts : To say the stream of new music coming through the pipeline has quieted down is a bit of an understatement, so the news that Spoon was releasing an unexpected new EP late last week was the type of good news audiophiles everywhere were hoping for. The three song (four if you include the remix) EP will be officially out on Tuesday [...]

I forgot to mention that these top songs are still very personal opinions despite trying to take as many suggestions of the rest of the writers. I'm not sure how people will respond to the list, numbering isn't quite as important as inclusion . I like taking suggestions as there will be millions of tracks I likely missed. As is the goal with this list, 10-limit descriptions included. Previously: #76-100 Numbers #51-75: #51 Creator by Santogold w/ Switch and Freq Nasty ( myspace / video -unofficial was [...]

Over the past few days, I have been trying to learn the intriguing and all-consuming PhotoShop CS3. It is either wonderful or demented. I can't decide which yet. It doesn't help that I have a cold and I'm whacked out on cold meds and too little sleep. This playlist is the music that is keeping me sane while I get used to using a tablet & stylus instead of the trackpad I've been using for years. I have alot of people to thank for this music. Or to blame. How about I thank them and you blame them...? [...]

For those who think that Dan Bejar has found his own Neko Case, you'd be wrong.
"Playing live sucks," Dan Bejar joked, or sort of joked, in consolation as Sydney Vermont struggled finding the chords on her acoustic guitar in the low lighting of Glasslands Gallery. She had started and restarted the song about eight times and was clearly ready to move on to the next one but gbave it one last go and muddled through. It was that kind of show. Hello Blue Roses , Bejar's other other group with his Girfriend Vermont, hadn't played a live show in 18 months, with Bejar adding, "our last show was 18 minutes [...]

Last night was the Hello Blue Roses show at Glasslands in Brooklyn, NY. I did attend and had a great time! First off, Glasslands is the coolest place to see a show, hands down. Second, this would be my first experience seeing Dan Bejar live, which is something I have been waiting/wanting to do for a long time. Hello Blue Roses went on at about nine thirty or ten, which was a relief because the show was listed as an 8:00pm start-time, and I didn't get there till about 9:00pm thinking I missed the whole thing. Thier [...]

Hello, Blue Roses - Shadow Falls (MP3) This is a lovely tune from the romantic and musical duo of Dan Bejar (Destroyer) and Sydney Vermont. Off their recently released debut album, 'The Portrait Is Finished & I Have Failed to Capture Your Beauty'.
So Groundhog Day is the total realization of the ridiculous superstitions people in the United States have. I mean, how the hell are we supposed to trust a rodent to predict the weather when humans can't even do with the most sophisticated technology around? Just ain't gonna happen, but I guess it's fun for them to try. Anyway, here's a split mix to celebrate Staten Island Chuck seeing his shadow
