The Return of Beulah (but not Beulah)
Years ago, there was a band called Beulah. They were one of the hardest-working indie-rock bands in the biz, and they were awesome. So awesome they even made a concert tour DVD and I’m in it, along with my WifeWiferson, Rev. Dave and Mark.
Then they broke up and we were all very sad. […]
Willie is still smokin’
Willie Nelson celebrated his 75th b-day on 4/29.
In honor of the guy who battled the IRS (and lost) and then went on to recoup his millions while creating his own bio-fuel, here’s a good’un featuring his buddy Snoop in Amsterdam.
Unbelieveable New Song: Grizzly Bear
Yes, it’s true. I will admit that I still don’t fully get Grizzly Bear. True, I have not listened to their records enough, but that covers record kinda sent me farther down the wrong path. Also, an EP? I just can’t wrap my head around their lo-fi, form-free business. However, any […]
Rockommercial: iPhone discovers electronica
Two of my favorite electronic bands (and yours?), Daft Punk and Hot Chip, are featured in the new iPhone commercial. Here’s to hoping “Aerodynamic” becomes the new “1234” …
Music Blog Zeitgeist
The Hype Machine has done a nice little thing by compiling a Music Blog Zeitgeist of 2007, listing the best 50 songs, best 50 albums, and best 50 bands based on content from the music blogs in their index. No major surprises since we’ve seen these bands and songs covered by every music blog, but […]
Songerize
Is there anything the Internets can’t do? Probably, but at least they’re trying, and the latest effort brings us songs on demand, thanks to Songerize. Judging from the initial searching, the catalogue of songs runs deep. I’m not quite sure how it works, but it has allowed me to soundtrack my Monday morning with “Footloose” […]
Videos that make me want to be a better man
After months of tense and agonized waiting I finally saw There Will Be Blood this past weekend and it exceeded even my high expectations. Being that this is a music blog and I’m a strict follower of non-existent rules, I’ll only mention the music.
Many of you have heard Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood’s soundtrack […]
rorriM kcalB
Arcade Fire are at it again with their online shenanigans. They’re now promoting the song “Black Mirror” with a new interactive site: rirroM kcalB. Unlike their last effort, this one is a little less confusing and a little less repetitive with the music. The short film is entertaining, and you can toggle each of the […]
Recall reminder
Cool concept, this Last.fm website. It won’t play any specific requests, but will give you a sample of an artist’s repertoire. Patient listeners may be rewarded, but those hoping to hear a specific track while passing the time at work may be out of luck.
Painful. Just painful.
