My newest weird dream involving a (dead) celebrity

Artist:
Album:
Track:
Blog post image preview I dreamed that I lived in my mom and dad's house, but they weren't there. For some reason Eliott Smith was hanging around, but I never could find him, I had just heard he was there. He kept finding odd objects in my backyard and leaving them in the house for me. He left me a really old TV remote, a tiny, functioning gun, and some other strange pieces on the kitchen table. I went down in the basement to my room, which is where it was right before I moved out. On my bed... MORE

Blog post image preview I'm sitting in the warm winter sun with a delicious hot chocolate and Elliott Smith stuck in my head, observing my cats. Phoebus, our Russian blue, looks somewhat like this but with white feet: He lives inside except for a couple of hours each day or so, doing very catty things, like falling gracefully off chairs or by contrast running full pelt halfway up the wall then hiding in the cupboard, then repeating. He has his own room that mum shares with her office. Wh... MORE

I miss Elliott Smith. I heard 'Memory Lane' just after he passed away. I didn't even know he was gone for at least a year after that. And though I've only got this one album I love it so much. It's downright honest music with no pretence or ego attached. The first thing I thought after I heard it was 'John Lennon'. Granted that's probably just because of the overdubs throughout the whole album. But the whole CD is just so good to listen to. The guitar is simple wit... MORE

Past Lives

(34)
What could be worthy of an inaugural post? In the spirit of this great webspace called mog, I would say a recommendation is in order. This is one Elliott Smith track that's particularly resonated with me. It's not just the addictive melody, or the intricate finger picking, or the subtle voice. That was just the beginning. It was that, after more listens, I began to feel as if I was inside someone's head, listening to this person's first-person running monologue. These da... MORE

The dregs of the music industry

While strolling around my local Target the other day something caught my attention, it was the Christmas music stand. So I saunter on over to give it a look, they had James Taylor’s Christmas album, the new Sarah Mclachlan, a compilation of great holiday songs, and there it was an Ali Lohan (little sister of Lindsay)album. After seeing this I was on the edge of a meltdown. Over the past few years I have noticed a little trend that has made me sick, the handing over of majo... MORE
