Artists mentioned:Image courtesy flickr user Tom Steiner Have you ever felt like a song has the answer you’re looking for?

Neko Case covering Chuck Berry
Artists mentioned:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiKz3D1cQz0 As the result of some sort of weird musical karma, I’m sure, ever since making a slight dig on Neko Case for acting like a diva when I saw the New Pornographers live, I’ve found myself in the mood to listen to her. (Not that I would ever really...(read full post)

Lost MP3 of the Week: Fleetwood Mac, “Silver Springs”
Artists mentioned:When I was in middle school, I had a lot of ideas for music videos. Generally these ideas were boring and tame - mostly because at the time, I was listening to a lot of really sappy, sad music (I changed from a private school to a public school between...(read full post)

T-Sides B-Sides: Van Morrison Should Make You Feel Bad About Yourself
Artists mentioned:Part of the reason why T-Sides has been so quiet these past few weeks is that, until about two weeks ago, I was busying myself with a Cultural Criticism class taken through NYU.

Destroyer @ Bowery Ballroom, Wednesday, April 23rd
Artists mentioned:Image courtesy flickr user forklift The New Pornographers put on one of the worst concerts of recent memory at the Bowery Ballroom last August.

Lost MP3 of the Week: Da Real One, “If U Like Pina Colada (Pina Colada Song)”
Artists mentioned:When you’re young, the desire to fit in can be a very, very dangerous thing.

Lost MP3 of the Week: Ben Gibbard, “Silver Lining (Rilo Kiley Cover)”
Artists mentioned:Maybe it’s because I recently heard Narrow Stairs, Death Cab for Cutie’s upcoming album for the first time, maybe it’s because I’m going through Death Cab’s discography for a piece I’m working on, but for some reason or another, I find my long dormant appreciation for Ben Gibbard reawakening. For...(read full post)

Lost MP3 of the Week: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, “Helplessly Hoping”
Artists mentioned:This song is Spring. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: “Helplessly Hoping” (download) It’s easy enough to point to nearly any Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and say that - “Judy: Blue Eyes,” certainly. “Guinnevere,” absolutely. “Our House,” you bet. But “Helplessly Hoping” is it, the most Spring of any of...(read full post)
