The lyrical legend Q-Tip, known for his time as frontman of Tribe Called Quest and guest appearances with the Beastie Boys, revealed that he and Common have discussed the idea of joining forces. They need to run by their parents, aka Universal Records, but as long as everything works out, we can expect new stuff from the duo under the name: The Standard. They have yet to lay anything down on ...

Yesterday I picked up The Standard Swimmer, TV on the Radio Dear Science, and James Hey Ma. I'm glad I purchased all of these albums but the one that will probably never get enough attention is The Standard. These guys have been around since the turn of the century (sound old don't they?) and they haven't been able to catch a break in that long either. I'm impressed they're still making chill...

I've hit upon a small problem. When I got home today, I had a rather large package on my doorstep. The package wasn't the problem; it was the size of the package that puzzled me. 1.5' x 2' was too large for the 5 CDs and 2 books I had ordered. I figured that one of the books might be oversized, and I had not noticed when ordering. Well, one of the books (300 by Frank Miller) was oversized....

So maybe th...

OK. Week 3 is upon us. I've hyped the Standard on several occasions now but I just had to highlight a track I listened to while feverishly running in place this morning. It's from the band's self-titled 2001 debut. The song is called "Expressway." Chances are you haven't heard it, yet chances are, you'll find the opening quite similar to a song that Pearl Jam put out on Vs. roughly 16 yea...

It happens nearly once a year. The last time it occured, I forgot to include Built To Spill You In Reverse on my 2006 Best of List. I caught it about two weeks to late and have regretted not doing a "recount" ever since.In regards to my Top 18 of '08 list (see http://mog.com/Eric5776/blog/250698), technology got the best of me.
