Fleet Foxes – Sun Giant EP

Dang it, this stuff is so good I can hardly stand it. Think Band of Horses meets Le Loup meets Brian Wilson meets Bon Iver; singing their own versions of 16th/17th central choral pieces (ala “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming”). I’ve got “Drops in the River” on repeat.

THE VIPER ROOM show –
Many of you kind folks have asked how the viper went. We plugged in and the curtain opened and on the very first chord of the song “DUMMY”- the power blew up. It was just jesse playing a fabulous acoustic drum solo and me telling jokes on the mic for what [...]

In honor of Sheryl Crow performing in Wichita on Tuesday, I’ve composed a letter using her song titles:
Dear Sheryl,
I’ve been a fan for a long time. Ever since the beginning, when all you wanted to do was have some fun.
For a while, I even thought I was strong enough to be your man. By that [...]

I always thought that I wasn’t an official DEVO fan until I had my very own Energy Dome. Well, it only took me 25 years but mine arrived in the mail yesterday! And you can see me sportin’ it above…
And it came with the following story and instructions for the DEVO Energy Dome.

I’m not a huge Bjork fan. I respect her, but I don’t own any of her work. And I normally wouldn’t simply post a link and say, “Dudes… Check this out!!!” But this is seriously blowing my mind right now (in a fantastic way):

Dolly Parton on American Idol.

How great is Dolly Parton? Pretty damn great I would say!
On American Idol this week they sang Dolly Parton songs (she wrote almost all of them). Heck, she’s had 22 ‘number one’ singles… I had no idea.
Anyway, last night on the “Results Show”, Dolly came out and sang, and I was moved.
You realize [...]
THE FUTURE EMBRACE
Posted in music on April 1, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’ve always been reluctant to embrace new technology or trends.
Cell Phones are a perfect example.
Maybe I was paranoid about invisible waves of radiation penetrating my skull and planting little cancer tumors all over my brain tissue. Maybe I hated all of the other people that already had cell phones and I refused to [...]

There was a discussion about the difference between Goth and Emo.

So I am realizing that I am the only non-artist contributor on this blog. So I thought I might post a little track that I did after doing a quick recording session for one of neighbors. This is not really the style that I “specialize” in. In so many ways I think this kind of [...]

If, like me, you see the value in and sometimes secretly enjoy being sad, this is for you. If not, this may also be for you. Who am I to judge?
