--- - |- OK...feel free to leave a comment and let me know which song off of the new Of Montreal record, 'Skeletal Lamping', will be used in an impending Red Lobster commercial? Don't get me wrong, I have NO problem with band's licensing their music out for commercials...God knows in this era of file sharing the artists need to think outside of the box to make a little more cash. Some of m...

--- - |- Every time I listen to this amazing debut from Laura Marling, 'Alas I Cannot Swim' I have to constantly remind myself that she is only 18yrs old. Oh, to have this kind of wisdom when I was her age...i would have been dangerous! This is already one of my favorite records of the year...and another example of a perfect rainy day soundtrack. (Plus she gets bonus points for name-checkin...

--- - |- It's a rainy, dreary Sunday here in Ohio. Shocking..i know. But, this weather can mean only one thing...lots of Elliot Smith playing around the house today. I wish Mr. Smith was as prolific after his death as, say, Tupac Shakur. Man, it seemed like 2Pac has released like 2 albums a year since he died! At least we got 'New Moon' from Elliot...and it is really amazing....i know this,...

--- - |- Across The Universe - Thumbs WAY down "Review" really isn't the right world for this, since I only made it about half way through. Horrendous. I've been conflicted about this movie since it's theatrical release...I hate musicals, but I love the Beatles. My compromise was to wait til it came out on cable. And I am glad I didn't waste a Netflix rental on it. I can't even say anymor...

--- - |- Emusic downloads burn a whole in my pocket faster than you can imagine! I feel COMPELLED to use them all within like the first 48hrs that I get them...it's a sickness really. This month's allotment went just as quickly. I found myself with 12 more and an itching to finish them off, so I hit the ever dangerous 'BROWSE' button and started reading some user reviews. I ended up gettin...

Another day, another Swedish band making really good music. I think if I ever have kids I will send them to Stockholm for their formative years...hoping that some of that Swedish water will get their inner rock stars swirling! Marching Band's album 'Spark Large' is light, infectious pop at it's heart, but with introspective and smart lyrics. Great stuff. Marching Band - 'Letters' MP3 ~~

If I were to be named 'Secretary Of Essential Music' by the new President Obama, I think I would name 10 or 15 albums that would be standard issue to all kids. I think we'd hand them out maybe when they are 15 or so...before the roots of bad pop music have taken to strong a hold on them. Albums like Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks', Dylan's 'Blonde On Blonde', Pavement's 'Slanted And Enchanted...

Reply to: pers-807215244@craigslist.org Date: 2008-08-21, 9:01PM EDT Basically, I'm looking for a lady who likes making out in spandex, leggings, tights and pantyhose. Both you and I should share an interest for wearing tight clothes. We could also casually wear it around public and take pictures. If this sounds fun to yo...

I love reading about who my favorite artists love to listen to. I can't even tell you how many bands I have gotten into from reading some interview of a band I love that mentioned an artist that THEY loved. Without the aid of an iterview, it can sometimes be a little more difficult to tell what influenced certain musicians. But sometimes, it comes oozing out in song from. New York Dolls - 'Lo...

Every time I do one of these 'audio nostalgia' entries, I cringe when I realize when the record or song that I am posting about was originally released. Today is no different. Kula Shaker's 'K' record is 12yrs old already, having been released in 1996. My access to and knowledge of really good music was quite limited when I was younger. I think Kula Shaker was the first band that I really g...

Julianna Hatfield's new record, 'How To Walk Away' is so, so good. I've been listening to nothing else for the last couple of days. Just wanted pass a tune along from the new album, Nada Surf's Mattew Caws lends his vocal talents to this one as well. Juliana Hatfield - 'Such A Beautiful Girl' MP3 ~~

Imagine walking through this 28 3/4" x 78" door as you begin your new life, as the person you've always wanted to be... happier, funnier, handsomer, richer, and with firmer buns. It could be yours, right now. Give you...

Russel from Stillwater parties with real Topeka people. Obligatory 'Almost Famous' entry into this list. Even more so than the famous 'Tiny Dancer' scene, this scene, where Russel and William decide to take in some REAL Topeka nightlife, speaks to me! Maybe it's because I have always wondered what I would do if one of my favorite rock stars came to a house party I was at and got totally m...

Sitting here listening to the latest Hotel Lights album, 'Firecracker Album' and thinking to myself that these songs would make a great autumn soundtrack...just a couple of weeks too early. Great tunes nonetheless. Hotel Lights is basically the vehicle for singer/songwriter and former Ben Folds Five drummer Darren Jesse. This is HL's third studio album. Hotel Lights - 'Amelia Bright' MP3 ~~

Julius Carry, who played 'The Shogun Of Harlem' in my favorite bad movie of all time, 'The Last Dragon' has passed away. It's a sad day, but B-Movie heaven just got a little cooler. Bruce Leeroy RULES! ~~

I really am in love with Emmylou Harris' voice, just like that deUS song says. She is timeless...and at the risk of sounding cliche, she is a national treasure. I have been in a major Townes Van Zandt and Emmylou Harris phase the last few days, so I thought I'd post a song from each. Enjoy. Townes Van Zandt - 'Waitin' Around To Die' MP3 Emmylou Harris - 'I Still Miss Someone' MP3 ~~
