    So, if you haven't already suspected, I'm taking a break.You see, there's this thing, it's called college, and I managed to ignore it until the last possible moment. This has unfortunately created what is literally one of the more harrowing academic periods of my life so far. I simply am...(read full post)

  • you don't even know the topic

    There's a pretty cool Modest Mouse documentary floating around on Video Google as well as YouTube, filmed way back in '97. It's terribly, terribly edited and therefore a little hard to follow at times (at one point the camera man films a whole conversation in the band's then touring van...(read full post)

  • everything degrades down to the most poisonous substance known to man

    Recently, I've been semi-obsessed with the Radiohead B-Side "Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2)", mainly prompted from this video of a live performance of the song in 1997. It reminded me that Radiohead, as a band, has possibly the most consistently great b-side catalog I can think of. Some of their...(read full post)

  • Just Bring Me Back My Girl

    The acoustic guitar is an instrument oft-ignored in the modern popular music landscape, if only because, well, it seems like everything's been done on it that could conceivably be done. It's an antiquated, tired vehicle of musical composition. Pedals and manipulation aside, pure, unadulterated acoustic playing rarely raises any eyebrows....(read full post)

  • Jay Babock versus The Man

    I mentioned this in my ArthurBall review, but I'll repeat it: I won tickets to the wonderful ArthurBall, which is one of two festivals Arthur Magazine has started to put on (the other being "ArthurFest"), this past February, and was led around by Jay Babcock, the editor and mastermind behind...(read full post)

  • drop the citrus fruit lolz

    This is probably the ninth time I've mentioned Drop the Lime on this blog (or the second, whatever), but he deserves the recognition. His new full-length We Never Sleep is circulating, and finds Venezia (Drop the Lime) moving in more of a sort of "grimy dance music" direction (if that...(read full post)

  • i like my neighborhood

    Some tracks from the upcoming album of everyone's favorite slightly divisive craziness, Xiu Xiu, have apparently leaked. I hope Jamie Stewart doesn't write a song about me posting these, especially considering they sound unmastered, but here goes:Download "Watermelon Vs. The Pineapple"Download "Buzz Saw"Download "Boy Soprano"The aforementioned full-length, The Air Force,...(read full post)

  • amirite

    I make a series of mixes for people to download via my getfile every year, and I thought I'd put up one of my (in retrospect not-so-great) mixes from last year in a nod to self-appreciation. Here's the tracklisting:01 - Sun Kil Moon - "Exit Does Not Exist" (Modest Mouse...(read full post)

  • 2006, Part Fourteen

    Christina Carter - Lace Heart (2006)This is a good follow-up post to Sibylle Baier, as Christina Carter could be viewed as a modern corollary to Baier's earlier work - loosely, at least. One half of generally lauded experimental duo Charalambides, Christina's solo work is slightly more accessible than her collaborative...(read full post)
