So on a family vacation, my dad surprised me and my 4 siblings with tickets to a concert. Now most of the time, this is a recipe for disaster. Dads are supposed to be lame. They are why we listen to rebellious rock music, right?So Dad got us ZZ Top concert tickets, and came with us. Now my sisters are a little hipper than my brother and me, so they didnt express the same initial excitement to s...

I always found this song to be particularly uplifting and inspiring. Please listen to it, and consider giving $10 to something I find equally uplifting and inspiring - microfinance. I have posted a better explanation of the cause (The Grameen Foundation) on my blog: http://www.michaelmuse.com/2008/12/calling-all-my-readers.htmlThank you and Happy Holidays!

Just an update - but Weezer's song that I have tagged above was GREAT live at the Garden on Wednesday - just an epic ballad, which is at once satirical and a work of art itself (very much a la 'One Down' by Ben Folds).The great thing about getting to hear it for the first time live is that it's one of those grand songs that is at its best when its really loud. This is also a very true for 'Say ...

Millencolin's latest release, Machine 15, came out a couple of months ago - but just recently made it on to Amazon's MP3 store (link above).

Plus they are pretty decent skaters:I was looking at all the albums t...

Just wanted to let everyone know:TuneUp Media has been scurrying to assemble an awesome new app to help you manage your music collection, which just came out in Beta. I had the pleasure of meeting the CEO and talking to him about it - and I am really impressed.It 'cleans' mislabeled songs by digitally listening to the song, and (powered by Gracenote) fixes the info (ID3 tags) with the correct d...

If you can at all stand to listen to their albums, My Morning Jacket is one of those bands that you really should make an effort to see live. This song particularly brings out their intense stage presence and overwhelming musical sense of ambiance.It Still Moves is certianly one of those albums with a consistent vision, that very naturally plays like an album, from beginning to end. No need to ...

OK gang.Lets look at the facts. The other day, I left work, and the sun was still in the sky. Then a few days later, I went to the taco truck on 14th and 8th and wore sandals, and my friend Morgan met me there and she was ALSO wearing sandals and she is a freaking girl and not tough at all. Youve all seen the frappacinos making a comeback. Girls are putting in the double shift at the gym. Peopl...

Everyone has had a time in their life that they have found particularly trying. Some of us have had more than others, but most everyone has had a point in life that seemed downright BEAT.[If you have never had a moment like this, then kudos! - that's totally awesome - but if you would like to understand what I am talking about, just rent the movie "The Jerk" with Steve Martin and youll see wha...
