Wikipedia tells me that the xx are a foursome coming to you live and direct from the UK. Apparently the foursome are alumni of the Elliott School which also counts Burial, Hot Chip and Four Tet as graduates – some serious talent coming out of that school. The easiest and most common mechanism to describe [...]

Major Lazer – Guns Don’t Kill People, Lasers Do Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on August 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I picked this album up at the beginning of the summer, have been killing it not stop, and am now just getting around to posting a quick review. Major Lazer is the nom de plume of Diplo and Switch (the guys that produced “Paper Planes”). The fictious back story of Major Lazer is that he [...]
The Melvins – Showbox Market 5/22/2009
Posted in music, shows, tagged music, shows on June 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So I am finally getting around to writing this Melvins review. I figured it was about time that my one dutiful reader farming his days away in Western PA had something new to read. A caveat here, I am not a HUGE Melvins fan. I am however a HUGE “Houdini” fan. I know that to [...]
My Bloody Valentine – Wamu Theater 4/27/2009

I am finally getting around to writing a quick review of the My Bloody Valentine show at the Wamu Theater that occured way back on April 27th. First things first, My Bloody Valentine are LOUD. Really, LOUD. This is the first show I have ever been to where the ushers are offering up earplugs to [...]
P.O.S. – Never Better Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged music, review on April 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have to admit, I slept on this for a while. For some reason, I had already made up mind (inexplicably) that I wouldn’t like this album. Don’t know why. I am just crazy that way sometimes. I am glad I changed my tune and listened to this album. P.O.S. Never Better – and there [...]
Rockers! (and my quest for classic reggae albums)
Posted in music, video, tagged music, video on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, after years of hearing about the movie “Rockers” I finally checked it out of the library and watched it. It is incredible! Right from the opening scene I was captivated. The film begins with the Abyssinians, and local healer Ashley Harris (scope his dread, its HUGE!) pounding out the Rasta anthem “Satta Massagana” – [...]
iTunes store pricing changes
Posted in music, tagged business, music on March 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In the news today, Apple announced that iTunes will be increasing the price of their “hit” tracks from $.99 to $1.29. Back in January, iTunes announced this tiered pricing structure by stating that it would begin selling individual songs at $.69 and $1.29 in addition to the current price point of $.99. This move was [...]
Out with old, in with the new.

The day after Guy Hands resigns over the EMI Deal, Ian Rogers will moderate a panel at SXSW titled, “How to do a 360 deal with yourself”. The timing is interesting and provides another example of how the balance of power is shifting to artists. If you are a musician looking to sign, what is [...]
Introducing Miss Bank$

I stumbled onto Miss Banks while reading The Fader the other day. She’s a new rapper on the scene out of NYC. Her full name is Azealia Banks and she spits clever and profane rhymes over fun, infectious beats. Just the thing to put a kick in your step, and brighten up a grey, winters [...]
Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavillion Album Review
Posted in music, tagged music on January 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
All hail Animal Collective! In the infancy of 2009 the most eagerly anticipated album has dropped. Well, sorta. It was leaked in late 2008 and many music blogs began fueling the fire by posting songs and writing about the album, thereby peaking interest. I didn’t love Animal Collective’s previous release, “Strawberry Jam”, but was already [...]
