So as my last post mentioned, I have been sick for a week now. Boredom overtook me Thursday night and I said WTF and dranks me some Jagers and beers ( Jager tastes like cough medicine anyway, right?) Now I am doubly downed. I dragged myself from bed this morning, strapped on my ear goggles and me and the dog went to the beach for a walk. As I was walking, Matt Johnson's song This is the Day came
I just started listening to a February release fromThe Weepies. Been a big year and apparently I missed it until now. I guess they have had some airplay on TV shows this year, and I rarely catch network TV, but I can see the ease with which much of this disc would work with the "falling in love montage" Squeaky clean and sparkling indie folk ear candy.Like juice from a really great peach, the ...
Now some of you (hey Mom and Sister) that may follow this know that I lost a lot of music when I took my computer to this girl here on the island that "claims" to fix things. She had to replace the motherboard.

One of the coolest parts of my job is meeting interesting people from all over the globe and getting them drunk. A while back Eric from Studio Distribution hooked me up with the Menheads and I have been rocking it in the bar ever since, so I was surprised to see no one here hitting it. You *must* check out this if you are a fan of Vienna electronica... Regardless of what the official site for ...
“Bajofondo Tango Club is drama you can dance to.” Electronica, Drum and Bass, trip-hop and elements of House deftly woven into traditional tango. Bajofondo tango club produces music that is electric in its energy and passion. Recommended if you like GoTan Project as much for its similarities as for its vast differences. BFTC pushes the envelope a bit more than GoTan, and the result is stunning
My little country down here dangles its toes in the Caribbean sea south of Mexico and east of Guatemala. The influences on music here range from the "garifuna peoples":http://www.garifuna.org/ to the mayan traditions and influences from Mexico and the USA.
