I am hereby coining the term “the Yorke Conjecture” which postulates that no public discussion of music will go more than 5 minutes without someone bringing up Radiohead. (Not because Radiohead is awesome, mind you. No, it’s because Radiohead fans are worse than Apple fanboys when it comes to vocal smugness.)
Okay, I need some recommendations for new music to buy/download and spin. Lately, I’m really digging Mumford & Sons and Cloud Cult. Historically I like everything from classic (70s/80s) hard rock, metal, old-school rap, some country (Brooks, Cash, Nelson), grunge, post-grunge, punk, pop-punk, the blues (acoustic, delta mostly), some folk (Dylan, Guthrie, Davis), and so [...]
So hi there, Internets. It’s hump day today, and despite my cat-related exhaustion, I’m in a damn good mood, and there are reasons for it. Reason the first: found a new musical artist that just fucking floored me this morning, just before work. Take a little Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke, add some James Brown, [...]
Here’s the media I’ve digested in 2010.1 I’ll save my commentary for the end of the post. Books • Eragon by Christopher Paolini • The Data Book by Noguchi-san and Fumiyo Noguchi • The God Engines by John Scalzi • Judge Sn Goes Golfing by John Scalzi • Eldest by Christopher Paolini • Infoquake by [...]
There’s a few: Here’s one: Marrying Kate is far and away the best memory I’ve got. Need I say more? Okay, well, it was an awesome day, and I married the woman that’s perfect for me. Never been happier than I have been in the 63 days since. Others: Spring of 2009. One of those [...]
1. The longer I go in life, the more I associate songs with people I know. What song(s) do you associate with me? 2. What type of music do you work out to? What are some of your favorite songs for this? This questions are merely to satisfy my curiousity — and to help me [...]
I wasn’t just going to let this pass without saying something about it. So, what I’m saying is: AWESOME.
I’d like to propose the membership of a new supergroup: Vocals: Eddie Vedder Lead Guitar: Slash Rhythm Guitar: Bono Bass: Flea Drums: Ringo Starr Seriously. Bet these guys could create pop-rock that would obliterate the awesome stuff the Foo Fighters have done. The big question, though is: what name could we give them?
Warm-Up Phase: “This Language” – Stateless “Whispering Wind” – Moby Work Phase: “UNKLE Reconstruction” – Michael Giacchino & UNKLE “Five Four” – The Gorillaz “Weapons of Mass Distortion” – The Crystal Method “Genetic Blueprint” – Fear Factory “Somewhere I Belong” – Linkin Park “One Man Army” – The Prodigy and Tom Morello “Ladies and Gentlemen” [...]
So I haven’t anything particular to post about here, so I’m going to break it down into some bullet points and let you wander all over the map with me: Every so often, I have one of those moments where I ask myself, “What the fuck is wrong with me?” In this case, it would [...]
