Twice recently I've been really impressed with the B-52s. The first time was at Staples when I decided "Roam" was the best song on the radio there. The second time was in Trois Brasseurs in Montreal, when "Love Shack" played and I told Pattie, with the kind of wonder only kids and drunks can feel, that this was the most perfect song ever ( Read more... ) -
In the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite
My idea is to start a shitty punk band that really only knows how to play "Don't Stop Believin". Then get a show booked at a bar or somewhere where people don't know us, then play a shitty set, then everyone's sick of us then a plant we have in the audience says "Play Don't Stop Believin ( Read more... ) -
The Maine Edge is the worst paper in the world
The last time I was in Bangor, I picked up a copy of The Maine Edge because the cover had a weird story about Google being some sort of conspiracy for world domination. Curious to see how low the paper had sunk, I read through and figured out that it was an April Fools' Day issue, only because a police beat item mentioned a staff member. But other ( Read more... ) -

Warning signs
I was 15 or 16, I can't remember which, and I needed a job bad. I was walking home from school through the bad part of town (inasmuch as Lewiston has a bad part of town) because I wanted to pick up a few applications down that way, when three kids approached me. There was an older white kid - he looked maybe 11 or 12, and two younger black kids. ( Read more... ) -

I'm easily distracted, so I'm looking for some ambient-ish music to play when I read. The only instrumental stuff I have is Godspeed You Black Emperor and their sister bands, which is all too bombastic and powerful to ignore. I'm looking for something atmospheric and pretty. I'd download some old bebop jazz, but the idea of listening to jazz while ( Read more... ) -

I've just rediscovered Spiritualized, which is always a good thing. I listened to "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space" so many times my freshman year at UMaine. Whenever I'd start feeling sorry for myself that year, they'd deliver a devastating one-liner like "Hey man, there's a hole in my arm where all the money goes/ Jesus Christ died ( Read more... ) -

I fuckin love Jay-Z. American Gangster might be the best album of his career, but here's my favorite part ( Read more... ) -

The Thermals are playing The Space!
I found these guys on a new-music-finding mission when I first got to UMaine, and now they're kind of popular. I used to think they're the band I'd start if I could, but then they made a concept-ish album about Christianity and America and all that, which I wouldn't do. Still a pretty good album, though.
But ( Read more... ) -
Hey, guys
Did someone borrow my copy of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"? If so, can I get it back before Spring Break? It's one of my favorite movies, and I'd like to watch it again.
