h1. I keed, I keed ;)I will have only myself to blame... but I can't help the fact that this is one of the final albums I heard last night - whilst fulfilling my duty to the _*OTHER "M"*_ in my life... & hooking up a friend.*+Throwing Muses+* Like so many other bands during my formative years, they were a fixture in my life (are these years still in effect - I am still morphing so I guess they...

If anyone suspects that this is a deliberate attempt to regain some of the 'indie cred' points I forfeited due to the recent Broadway musical post, my reply would go something like this: Bloody right!Here are tracks from three of my favourite American 'indie' bands whose music and originality I still find thrilling. There are, of course, countless others, but for the next couple of days these a...

My kids absolutely love the "Slideshow" function on the iPhoto application on my computer. They sit like raccoons caught in a trash can looking up at it and it gives me a chance to expose them to "Daddy's Tunes". I'm unsuccessfully attempting to subvert the steady diet of insipid children's music my wife seems intent on force-feeding them. I select a different track each time and try to gauge t...

The main reason I started this little 10 song project is that I wanted to know why these songs, in particular, move me so much. They're far from the best songs in my collection or the ones I respect the most or consider most "important." They're just the ones that happen to affect some bizarre psychological, subjective reaction that I can't understand, but makes me want to hear them again almos...

I bought some "Throwing Muses University" bumperstickers off the throwingmusic website a while back. I think they're cool and yes I'm a diehard fan but I'm still debating puting a 10 year old bumper sticker on a 1 year old car. I like the album a lot, even "snakeface" (which if you noticed was on the Empire Records soundtrack, yikes), but my all time fave is House Tornado. But then there's the ...

I finally broke down and visited YouTube late last week...what can I say? I was bored to tears at work. Now I'm probably one of the biggest Throwing Muses junkies around and I had a field day watching all of the old videos and interviews. Let's face it. I'm officially addicted to YouTube. Any other junkies out there?

I can think of very few bands (not owned by the Disney Corp.) who graduate high school poised for world domination. Throwing Muses (maybe), The Zit Remedy (if only Wheels could have kept his shit together) and now Winnipeg power-popsters The Playing Cards.As bespectacled co-front persons Cole and Alana sneak shyly on stage you might think to yourself "well shoot, ain't they just the cutest thi...
