I was driving around looking at apartments in West Hollywood today and this song came on about the same time that my eyes met a GIGANTIC advertisement on a wall for Rush Hour 3. And it hit me that all of the talented, creative, UNEMPLOYED screenwriters in this town must die a little inside every time a pre-packaged, formulaic movie like that makes millions. And they always make millions. I don'...

I love it when a long lost song from your past finds your via the shuffle.I don't think I have listened to this song since the first X Files movie came out, years and YEARS ago...such a shame, a great song.

"Janine" by Soul Coughing is, for my money, as good a love song as there is. You'll probably disagree. I won't care because I'm a self-centered ass. I love Soul Coughing quite a bit, have fond memories of being snuck in to see them when I was far too young to have been there, and always come back to this as the track of theirs that I enjoy the most as a song, as opposed to just being incredibly...

I fell in love with Soul Coughing a long time ago, around the time I discovered Digible Planets, man where did they go. I love Mike's solo stuff just as much if not more than the rest. There is just something about his phrasing and his voice. He is the ultimate sing along artists for me. That siad, Soul Coughing sound is amazing.

We found ourselves back in Brooklyn yesterday for the birthday party of one of Charlotte's little classmates. Despite being a dyed-in-the-wool Manhattan snob, I have started to warm to Brooklyn of late, although I'm about a decade and a half behind everyone else, it seems. My old attitude was that as nice as it inarguably was -- it was still only Brooklyn. Nice, right? That all said, I'm as fam...

It may not be funky, who's to say? But the groove this song puts forth is undeniable.

I don't have a lot of time so I'm going to toss this out there for those of you who need it. If you don't know _Soul Coughing,_ you should. Fantastic jazz-influenced alt-pop band from the 90s.1) First step, buy all three of their CDs. "Ruby Vroom," "Irresistible Bliss," and "El Oso." You can skip El Oso, if you like, though it has its moments. (Alternatively, download these songs and buy th...

Driving is one of my favourite things to do. I put up up there as the fourth element fo the triumvirate of Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll.There are a lot of songs that are great driving songs... depending upon the time of day and my state of mind, but the song that always makes me think of a long road trip where I have been up all night, just me and the road, is Screenwriter's Blues by Soul Cough...

The best music, to me, elicits emotion. How? Sometimes directly with the lyrics, sometimes with the groove, and when it's best, the emotion comes from an overall mood. Maybe it reminds you of the 70's, or maybe it just feels like home, but there's a connection and you feel it deep down. Helps if your toe is tapping too.Lazybones does it all for me. And the imagery is really special. There...
