Elliott Smith and The Idiocy of My Host
Consider this a repost of the general idea of my post from yesterday (which no longer exists). Strange that the one thing lost in an emergency redo of the server by my host was a post mentioning how I planned on moving on to a new host (and how they were necessitating that move). Apparently,…
CodeSeven
Holy crap. I cannot stop listening to this album… literally. I take a break every fifth or sixth time through and listen to some Elliott Smith or Hotel Lights, but aside from that, this pretty much sums up what I’m listening to right now. I got a copy of the album via my position at…
Oh my…
Just a quickie today: William Shatner’s new album site. I love Shatner… he cracks me up. This album looks to be classic, especially since it gets Shatner and Ben Folds back together. Classic, I tell you… classic!
The Futility of My Attempts at Music
When I was sixteen, I pleaded with my parents for a guitar. I wanted, like all teenagers and men having a midlife crisis, to be a rock star. I was successful in talking them into a guitar for my birthday, except instead of an electric (like I wanted), they insisted on an acoustic guitar… “electric?…
Real make hypocrites of themselves
As per my daily routine, I was reading Wired Magazine’s RSS feed headlines, when I noticed an article on Real vs. Apple. This isn’t exactly news to me, as I’ve followed Real’s desperate attempts to gain access to the paramount of MP3 players that is the iPod through any means necessary. Honestly, I’m not surprised…
Long Since Forgotten on iTunes!
One of my favorite indie bands, Long Since Forgotten, just got their most recent album, Standing Room Only listed on the pages of the iTunes Music Store. LSF are one of the most consistently great bands to come around in the past few years. I first met them about 2 years ago when they played…
Picture of the Day 2
Today’s picture of the day is of the wonderful band Stereolab. If you haven’t listened to Stereolab, you are missing out, Chester. Possibly one of the best CD purchases I’ve made in the past few years was ABC Music – BBC Radio 1 sessions, the double CD of pretty much all of their best songs.…
Enjoy some great acoustic music
A few minutes ago, I visited the site of the local alternative weekly paper (The City Weekly) and cast my vote in the yearly Slammy awards. Each year, the paper takes votes on the best of Salt Lake City in regards to music, arts, and comedy. Sometimes the results are right on (see Starmy and…
Great Tracks Not on iTMS
I make iMixes on iTunes, but some songs I really want to put on there just aren’t available yet (and probably never will be). So, here are some of the bands I am really enjoying right now. Most have a few songs you can download. Black Black Ocean: Website | S!M! (mp3) Quant: Website |…
