(As I do every year, I'll devote this week to posting some year-end thoughts, musical and otherwise, from some friends of mine. My own thing will no doubt go up sometime in the early part of January. In the meantime, my year-end mixes are still there for the taking, btw.) ------------ The following four guys are enrolled in the same graduate program as yours truly. That's one thing. More i...

I feel like my lung are full of gross. Being this flu-ey is ruining my life. Especially since I just wanted to have a REALLY good weekend partying in Southampton and not sleeping and dancing and singing karaoke. OK, so I struggled through it all and did sing some karaoke, but really, I just wanted to be in bed with someone stroking my hair and pitying me.This weekend I have realised that The Un...

i really wish the unicorns would reunite. islands are very good and all, but they just arent the unicorns. i remember when WWCOHWWG? first came out; it was unlike anything id ever heard. i also remember that they had a little side project called "The 'Cornn Gang" or something to that extent, i was never able to find any of that material though. if you might happen to know where i could, please let

So today I was listening to the Islands for the first time and noticed an uncanny simialrity to the Unicorns... I think mostly it was the vocals and timely (or untimely) progression of instrumentals. Nonetheless agreeable. Not earth-shattering to any degree, but definitely melodramatically, jolly. I think the Islands are part of the Elephant 6 Collective... Let me know regardeless. Love t...

I just finished watching this film called Manic (thanks IFC) and i am in a momentary state of shock. It was so intense. It was shot to appear almost like a documentary which made the characters appear so personal. I was intrigued by the first few moments of the film and i became so drawn in and attached to the characters i was literally withholding sobs and shouts during the most drama...

If the Nous Non Plus were really French they would not have covered the Unicorn's Tuff Ghost. You see, the Unicorns were from Montreal and according to all the French people I polled† for this post, French-Canadians speak an inferior form of French. To immortalize a French-Canadian song in the truest form of the French [...]

Well, we're halfway through the week, folks. Do you know what that means?? It's time for another installment of Wussy Wednesday! Today I am posting a song by a band that came up on shuffle on my iPod this morning: "I Was Born a Unicorn" by The Unicorns, off of their album Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? Sure haven't heard this in a while….It's so weird that I would like this band, bec.

Imagine the pre-Islands band The Unicorns in all their glory; that album, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone. Now think of their triumphant return, matured a decade and now female-fronted. The songs are no longer bizarre and there’s been a complete turnaround when it comes to their accessibility to the general public. Imagine that, added with a newfound influence by, say, Fiery Furnaces,
