LOST: A Very Special Sunday Mix Tape

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

There remain less than 48 hours until the season six premiere of LOST. This evening my little crew reached the end of our series re-watch. That is, we’ve spent the last three months working our way back through the entire show from the first episode until the season five finale. Two people, Sebastian and Quiggs, [...]

The Record Industry, Cigarettes, Weight Loss, Free-Falling, Bottomless Lakes & UFOs!

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

• It’s a miracle! A revelation! A new study shows that record labels have to — get this — lower music prices in order to increase profits. How come nobody has thought of that before? What a novel idea. People complain for, like, a decade that physical media is overpriced, and now “experts” have decided [...]

Grouper / Roy Montgomery – Split

Friday, January 29th, 2010

“…Gorgeous split release from Grouper and New Zealand’s Roy Montgomery. The pairing is an inspired match, facing Montgomery’s extended solo composition for guitar against four shorter tracks of spectral magick from Liz Harris. Starting with the Montgomery’s ‘Fantasia On A Theme By Sandy Bull (Slight Return)’, we’re soon enchanted by a long passage of jangly [...]

Your Favorite Food vs. Hair In Your Favorite Food

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

First, I’m trying to implement a healthier diet. Yesterday morning I had a yogurt, a breakfast bar, then consumed a large bowl of Tortilla soup for lunch. Later [...]

Rick Grossman – Hot Romance

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

In the same vein as Todd’s With Love…From Me To You comes Rick Grossman and his Hot Romance LP. In fact, one might wonder — upon comparing the artwork for both albums — if these two gentleman are indeed one in the same. This 1978 private press album has a kind of cosmic sunshine pop [...]

The Ellen Degeneres Show, Beer Bread & Sonic

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I forgot to warn you all that you should have set your DVRs to “stun” this morning — as in stunning — because my beautiful face was plastered all over the Ellen Degeneres show. I don’t know what channel it’s on, but I went to a filming of the show last week to see an [...]
