Jebus Kreist. What a night.
teebes (who was already quite pissed on Black Label) and I ventured out to Cambridge to visit fellow Tufts alum and current Harvard stooge the Mizz Mary Doyle. Wasn't surprised to find I only knew 3 other people at the party. But that was half the fun ( Read more... )

Around the beginning of January I forced myself to sit down with the ol' Rhodes and just play. And slowly they came. One idea after the next. Until I suddenly found myself with the foundation of an entire song. Maybe not a foundation. But at least blueprints. Which is far more than I've had for far too long ( Read more... )

I've felt abnormally motivated to do shit lately (more on that later), so hopefully that will begin to include more posts here. Last night's activities included the following ( Read more... )

Though it's now a month and a half overdue, I've finally put together my Best-of-the-Year-That-Was-Ought-Four List. I honestly can't say I've been too busy to do this earlier, but these Boston winters take a mighty toll on one's motivation. I'm glad I can finally feel the distant tug of spring and salvation from this cold. Don't get me wrong, I ( Read more... )

Can't say I've ever put this much time and focus into a mix disc. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but after two weeks of adding, removing, and switching around tracks, any more work will likely do more damage than good. So here it is, my Best of 2004 comp. The goal was not to make a mix of my favorite tracks of the year, per se (though some of ( Read more... )

I had hoped to compile my top albums of the year list before Christmas, but since I'll be on a flight to Montreal in a few hours, it don't look like that'll happen. So in order to tide you kind folks over I suggest sampling a few other lists like the ones here (I'm quite ashamed that they had to put Xiu Xiu at number 50... it's kinda like saying ( Read more... )

Late last night while I was doing a double shift at work, I did a lil' search on Pollstar.com to see if any shows were coming up. I didn't even make it past the first page, for there right in front of my eyes I saw a listing for Pixies playing at Avalon tonight! While I was incredibly excited to see this, I was also rather infuriated. About a ( Read more... )

Damn, what's that... 3 months since me last post? Nothing terribly exciting since then, but here's a few items of note ( Read more... )

I love apartments. Particularly my new one. 'Tis a shame it's further away from bars than my previous residences, but it's nothing a long walk or a brief T ride can't remedy. And though the liquor stores are as equally distant, the Whole Foods is a mere 100 yards away. Teebes' recent acquisition of a new Sony television will go well with the ( Read more... )

After watching the trailer for Wicker Park I was none too impressed. It looks like to me like another cheesy romance thriller targeting teens and drama fools. BUT... The soundtrack is absolutely fucking ridiculous, and includes a new Postal Service cover of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds". Check it out yo ( Read more... )
