I haven’t done my best of myspace music in awhile and there’s a really good reason for that….basically, the friend requests I’ve gotten from bands have been not really my thing or bands I didn’t feel were entirely worthy of blogging about. When I’m not so backed up with photosets, I have time to [...]
I’ve been editing photos all day today of The Blacks and The Thin Man, who played Schubas Tavern in Chicago last night. I don’t have the review written yet but if anyone would like to see the photoset, I put it up on flickr.
The Blacks with The Thin Man
Many things to look forward to [...]
I love bands with a sense of humor. International Airport, a five piece hailing from Glasgow had this to say on their myspace page in the category of sounds like:
“When you have a list of bands that you like, or who you are influenced by, and the first two in the list are fighting [...]
Hey everyone. I hope you all had yourself Merry Little Christmases or Hanukkahs, Kwanzaas etc. I just put together a nice little Swedish music compilation for my Swedish grandma including Jens Lekman, Peter and John Bjorn, El Perro Del Mar, The Envelopes, The Shout Out Louds and more for when I see her [...]
I’m blogging at home in upstate NY. For any of you unaware, there’s a whole big landmass not associated with NYC where people have very little to do. It’s called upstate NY and that’s where I’m from. There are actually cows in the small town where I’m from. You know, real cows not just plastic [...]
I love you France. I really do. I love you Canada. You know I’d be your girl. But, there’s something about Swedish music that I’m addicted to lately. I’ve gotten into many different Swedish bands this year and I’ve blogged about them as well (with pics!) including the likes of [...]
It’s been a bit of a hectic week-friend wise but I did get a chance to finally check out the lovely music of Jenn Grant who I found out about because the production on her first full length album Jenn Grant and Goodbye Twentieth Century was done by members of one of my favorite bands, [...]
Well, what can I say….it’s been such a busy weekend with lots of great music and conversations and shopping that I haven’t had any time to do some of the blogging and music listening at home that I would have liked. I plan on adding to this list tomorrow but for now I have to [...]
Ah…so tired. After a long rambunctious weekend roadtrip with Gina, José, and Cinchel to see Devotchka in Madison and then last night here again, I’m having one of those lazy Sundays where you lounge around in gasp sweat pants and shun the modern world (and with it, the 15 degree max temperatures) I [...]
I have quite a bit to write about again this week-The Album Leaf, Bert Jansch, and I’ll be going to see Frida Hyvönen later tonight. Basically, about a thousand photos behind. It’s daunting but Jansch was especially nice and my guess is that Frida won’t come around again for awhile being that she [...]
