I did not have the bucks to continually delve into the new records of 2007. So here are just a few thoughts.I did not have any singular compelling dance or electronic record strike me, which was disappointing. That might explain my increasing fondness for reggae and dub, it was the best place to get that melody and rhythm fix.So obviously without much good electronic I listened to a lot of roc...

It was a grand weekend in the San Francisco clubs for this particular music freak (And no, I’m not talking about the sold-out Slim’s show by rising “American Idol” also-ran Chris Daughtry and his band, whose overly-earnest vocals and pre-fab populist hard-rock sound are as tiresome and played-out as pop clichés can be.) The true sonic splendor came by way of two marvelous acts: of Montrea

Slowly sorting through the cache of single tracks I've picked up free over the past few months from Paste and Emusic and looking into the artists and albums. Love this song and am eager to download more, starting with the title track "Postwar."

I know there are still a few days left in 2006, and maybe I'll hear something in the next 2 days that will change my list (I should probably wait until April to post this list so the dust can settle and the fat can rise to the top and all).

Yesterday I received the latest issue of Paste, which is by far my favorite music magazine. The best part, of course, is that they tell you about a bunch of artists and then include a sampler CD that has a bunch of tracks from bands they interviewed or discussed in the issue. Generally it's pretty hit and miss, and this month's offering was no different, but there was some pretty sweet stuff on...

I'd be hard pressed to think of another music video I've seen that I've enjoyed more than M. Ward's video for Chinese Translation. Just perfect. Yes, the song does lend itself to an somewhat easy idea...just illustrating and animating the lyrics to the song. But the execution is just stellar. This is the reason why music videos were invented.
