The Danish theatre group Hotel Pro Forma invited Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson to "write music and libretto for Tomorrow, In a Year, a Darwin Opera." The opera will be titled "Tomorrow, In A Year." The production for the opera is described in t...

The Knife are a Swedish brother and sister who make the most consistently unsettling but compulsive electro/pop/weird music I've heard in a while.The music is composed of weird instrumentation (electro-style Jamaican steel drums, anyone?) and unusual time signatures, and the vocalist, while occasionally vaguely Bjork-esque, manages to sound both old-fashioned (in a kind of gin-soaked cabaret to...

Well aren't I lazy, its 9 days into 2007 (GMT) and it's taken me till now to post up a best of 2006. The year started off pretty awful, didn't get excited by much...then BANG... tons of great music. And due to a much needed subscription to eMusic I got access to tons of great new music without bankrupting myself (all it means is that I'm unlikely to buy much major label product in 2007 unless I...

I've had a huge chunk of a short story I'd been working on in one of my books for months. Now that I am copying it to my hard drive I am inclined to share. I must warn you though, its not pretty. Hopefully its pretty good, but its only been rewritten once, still kinda rough. Its the story of Dan, a trust baby that has been living life in excess and hurt many along the way. Now he finds he'll ha...

Well, maybe notold per se, but dig it: My sister had a baby boy a few days ago. I'm an auntie for the second time. Here's a song of dedication, for a new heartbeat. She named him Brody, which is a name I love...probably due to my fondness for the Distillers...
