• Indiana Jones IV: the Extinction

  ~~NO SPOYLERS HERE~~I dragged Megan to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Castles last night. Opening night Times Square. I nearly shit my pants during the previews.

  Instead of posting a Indie Rock Christmas mix which tend to generally suck, I'll once again link to DJ Riko's Christmas mix from 2005.

  I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm posting a band that someone actually sent me. I'm sick of reading emails from bands. Not that I read them. But they still take up space in my inbox. I have to read who sent them before I delete them.So a guy asked...(read full post)

  My CMJ week truly started off a day earlier with a free concert thanks to Rhapsody (of whom which few in attendance actually knew what they did). For those who don't know, they are the Rent-to-Own of the online music world. Without the "Owning" part. A tight and talented by...(read full post)

• Is this Blog Dead? BAH! I say!

  I was musing over the status and future of this space yesterday, wondering if it was finally time to head into the ole electrical closet and throw the Big Switch. Like a belly-up goldfish circling in its own urea, this site has become a shameful reminder that I'm just as...(read full post)
