Toxic Harvest - King Harvests "Dancing In The Moonlight"

Track:
I don't know if it's hippy or if it's just plain dippy, but the orange shag carpet rug burns and burnt mouth's from the fondue hors d'oeuvres served at your parents first attempt at a key party may have left high levels of toxicity all over the family room. Enough to manifest itself in the form of a "shoot me now" type of ear worm that you just can't shake. We all have our scars from childhoo...

Who Put The You in the You Es Ay? (Numbers 6 - 10)

Artist:

Album:

Track:
Numbers 1 - 5 are here.6. The Beach Boys - Pet SoundsIn the whisper down the lane of musical inspiration, it goes something like this: Bob Dylan inspires the Beatles to break the mold of lyric writing with his music and subsequent meeting of the Beatles. The Beatles release Rubber Soul, which is a depature from their "Yeah Yeah Yeah, oooh, ooh ooh, I love you" style of writing. Brian Wilson ...

Long lost, but found again mogger, Joxley, has posted a wonderful post on bands that are uniquely "British, British, British To The Core". Yet I can't help but feel like a noisy, opinionated American, when reading it. What's you say? How out of character CBW, or for that matter, your country of origin!Without a doubt and without arguement, the relationship between both Britain and The U.S. h...

Pavement Reunite! How about a re-run?

Album:

Track:
According to The New York Times, Pavement will reunite for a series of shows, and play Central Park in September 2010. My feelings about Pavement are mixed. I think Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is one of the best albums of the 90's. And I like a lot of songs in their other albums, but none of their other albums stick with me the way that one does.So I'm posting a link to my previous post about...

A Little (3fer) Toxicity from the Artists Formerly Known As The Beach Boys...

Track:
Well, hell, they are still known as the Beach Boys, but there was at least one Wilson present during these recordings. One only wishes it was the Wilson that co-stared with Tom Hanks in Castaway. And castawayt is what these songs should be from the Beach Boys catalog, perhaps inspiring some island culture into insipid mediocre lowest comon denominator music that will play wonderfully pool sid...

Track:
I had one of those nights in which it seemed a single song could flood me with a blast from the past, and put a tear in my eye at the same time. My wife's grandfather has recently been put in a home due to an onset of dementia, and the inability of his wife to care for him if he were to fall again. While this may be sad to some, I really have had little connection to him, and while I've alway...

Fuck Your Luddites - Friedman on Sabotage
I just discovered that early skateboard/hardcore/hip hop photographer Glen E. Friedman has a blog. I guess this isn't surprising, since everyone and their mother has one, but I'm always impressed when one of my hero's has one and waxes polemic.An interesting post on Glen E. Friedman's Blog "What The Fuck Have You Done" on Robots vs. Luddites

Sometimes you just look around and certain amount if normalcy or predictability in your life make you sick. You kind of wonder what's up, and why doesn't anyone give a shit. Allow me, if you will a simple rant. My apologies to those without a sense of humor.White Peopleare happy play drums along to some live music by a reggae band fronted by this guy:But not before stopping here:or here:in

Now In Infinite Jest -David Foster Wallace (1962-2008)
I don't know what I'm more shocked by - the suicide of writer/meta-fictionalist David Foster Wallace, or the surprising lack of coverage of his death. I mean, Wallace style of incredibly descriptive prose, ridiculous amounts of footnotes, and playful use of punctuation was somewhat prescient to what the whole blog-o-sphere is today.In the monster book, Infinite Jest, there exists a movie that is

And Now We Turn to the Comics page..
Here's a little something I worked up a couple years ago. I guess you can see who I really think benefits from all these copyright battles (My apologies for it being so hard to read. I will post a better quality version later this evening).

Against Me - "Up The Cuts"
I checked out this album from the library, and I'm really digging this track right now. here's some second hand smoke I remember catching from the blogosphere (all of which is completely arbitrary and without citation). Against Me! has a very loyal following. Some people think they have sold out with this record, or they've moved to a major label, and it's that same ol' same ol' cry from the

Hobo! - The Musical
Harry Partch (1901 - 1974) is probably a lesser known legend in the world of "classical" music. I put the term "classical" in quotes because it, unfortunately - like the term "modern", usually tends to refer to a composer or type of music that uses orchestration. In reality the Classical period is the time in art from 1750 - 1820 [1]. But I digress...Partch was the type of American genius that
