Apparently it's been snowing all day in New York (image above not actual). I stepped outside a few hours ago only to realize this. Despite my urge to make a snowball gloveless, I came back inside. Then, despite my urge to stream shows online and eat candy simultaneously, I decided to write a post. Tonight bears Ruff Club, and I'm blogging in an attempt to remind you all that you should still...

For Autumn

Artist:Donovan & Paul McCartney
Here's a small bit of rarities from Donovan & Paul McCartney. The Postcard Sessions were recorded in the Autumn of 1968 in Abbey Road Studios- when Paul was recording Mary Hopkin 's Post Card . Can't really understand the recordings very well.. nonetheless, it's still Paul and Donovan.

So, tis Halloween. I put up an "official Halloween" post a few days ago (few down). It's not very scary.The Department of Eagles don't really have anything to do with the holiday at all. (besides the semi-frightening and woodsy album artwork, which I think is great). However, might as well post up something good whilst I'm posting the flyer for tonight's party at Ruff Club. Should be a fun nigh...

Firstly and foremost, here's a little something from the new Sexual Objects (Dave Henderson from the Fire Engines) 7", which was produced by Boards of Canada. Love the track below. If The Strokes ever covered Kiss Me, this is what it might faintly sound like. A genuine feel good song. Buy the 7" here.From the 7":MP3: Here Come the Rubber Cops - The Sexual Objects (YSI)Upon first listen, you mig...

A bit ridiculous.
Not quite sure if this has ever been done before. Also- not quite sure whether or not anyone has ever wanted it to be done before.. . The following are from some of my favorite (and least favorite) parts in the first three films- including the Cantina scene (yes!). The scores were composed by John Williams . Buy the soundtracks from Amazon. Enjoy. Episode IV: A New Hope : MP3: Main Title/...

A little something from this band called Wavves out in California. Kind of ran into them on myspace randomly, the influences on on their page kind of describe them perfectly. They're like.. a beach-y Lightning Bolt meets Sonic Youth and Spacemen 3. Distorted pulsating rock.MP3: Vermin - Wavves (YSI)MP3: The Boys Will Love Us - Wavves (YSI)Here's something completely opposite of Wavves that my r...

Finally, a post.
I prefer Writer's Block over Seaside Rock. More vocals, more interesting, more everything. Seaside Rock isn't monotonous but it lacks something.. which is unfortunate. Then again, there's nothing wrong with narrated tracks in a foreign language, island-y instrumentals and steel drums. From the upcoming Peter Bjorn & John album, which will only be released digitally and on Vinyl (5000 copies) Se...
