Willie Nelson + Reggae = Train Wreck
almost 5 years ago

Did anyone know that Willie Nelson has a Reggae album? I wish I was kidding, but this is serious business. The back of the album reads: "10 years in the making, Willie's first Reggae album..." ok - I hope this is also his LAST raggae album, it's horrible.I'm absolutely positive this was some Mary Jane-induced "good idea." It might have been a GREAT idea when you're munchin' on a batch of pot br...

Stumbled Upon the Klaxons
almost 5 years ago

I have a dirty little secret - I really have an obsession with the Brits. I mean, I really really love them in unhealthy proportions.Warm beer? Ok by me! Crooked teeth? That's character for ya! Bland food? Actually, bangers and mash are fantastic.So, this british craze extends into their music, obviously.One of my random pickups from the Borders swag room was a Klaxons CD. It's delicious and has e

Works' Got Perks

I started working at the Borders HQ a few weeks ago and they have a room where the merchants drop off books and CDs twice a week. Employees get to peruse through all the goodies and select what interests them - free of charge.I walked out with 14 CD's today. This is so awesome.

Music Beats Food
about 5 years ago

I "caved":http://mog.com/CBSchick/blog_post/49414. After holding out for just 8 hours, I bought the Arcade Fire album. Apparently, Moggers agree that food is overrated - hey, I could stand to lose a few pounds anyway on that new peanut butter and jelly MOG diet. UPDATE: Hop damn! Just when I thought I was utterly, completely poor, I received an email from my school saying they have a PAY CHECK...

Food or Music

Help.Student loan funds are starting to dwindle and I still have 3 months until I start my full time job. No paychecks until June. I’m not kidding, I have $400, which is not going to get me through the next 3 months…So why the hell am I buying music still???? My current predicament – buy the Arcade Fire album or eat? I’m leaning towards buying the album.

Sunday Night Blues??

The weekend is nearing its end. You're probably depressed because the weather sucks, tomorrow is Monday, and you have to go back to the daily grind and a job you hate.If you really find yourself in this scenario, then you need to listen to this song - the whole thing. Doctor's orders.

Finally - Music Slump OVER
about 5 years ago

I've been going through a music block lately. Really, there hasn't been too much out there that's caught my ear and I was really in a slump. I found these guys, The Films, through freeindie.com's January archives. God bless.This is like a breath of fresh air, my friends. Good beats, catchy rhymes, fun tunes. Have a listen! Looks like I will get to seem them at the Bowery Ballroom (my personal fa

I've got that Christmas Spirit! The only problem is that my apartment is SO SMALL that I cannot actually fit a tree of any size in the apartment (think "Manhattan Studio Apartment")... so, I bought two "Christmas tree" scented candles instead. Ya, New York sucks.Anyway, Just thought I would suggest a few songs in case you haven't visited iTunes for some new music in a while:"All I Want For Christ
