Image From HereYou know, I have mentioned this before and will again. I missed out on new music for all of 2008 and half of 2007. So, I have been playing catch-up in the background. And, for that matter, I have been behind on the first half of 2009 and am playing catch-up with that too. Also, I have been buried in my 80's and 90's series which took a lot of my time but was/is well worth it. Whi...

What, I ask you, makes good pop music? Is it mass appeal? Is it a catchy hook? Does it beg repeat listens? Does it whiten your teeth _and_ freshen your breath? Science is getting close to an answer but I have a feeling in involves most, if not all, of the preceding qualifiers. When 4-5 people get together and make pop music about life and what goes on in it there are certain unspoken rules they...

Hi. I miss you today. I worry I'll forget you. I will happen to have a song in my head and muse secretly that I knew where it's from once. Toothless old people hunched up on benches in parks don't know how to stop this from happening, this fading away, although we're around and alive like anyone and maybe that's something; how comforting like songs when you can actually make the words out and p...

The new Great Northern album is really fantastic. Then again, I'm such a sucker for sweet cooing female vocals with male vocals trading off. Throw in a good driving rhythm and tasteful keyboard touches under the guitars, and I'm in like Flynn.Here's another taste from their previous album Trading Twilight For Daylight, one of those sweet little "albums that could" from 2007.

Last days, being the impetus they are for holding nothing back, are yet another reason it can be argued that perfect endings are so tragic. Last night, my last night out in Bangkok, I decided I was sick of alternating 20/80 between overpriced eat-outs and getting creative with sidewalk food and an electric water heater. So I walked into a diner, an honest to goodness, white plastic plates, whit...

Los Angeles four-piece Great Northern (made up of ex-members of Earlimart, Whirlpool and 30 Seconds to Mars) has crafted (in my opinion) one of the Ten Best Albums of the Year... their debut album, "Trading Twilight for Daylight," is lush dream pop at its best. ...as flawless and beautiful as the drifting wax of a lava lamp...I've uploaded a couple of songs to check out... but the whole album i...
