Oooof. Buckle in for a tearjerker: Family. Nostalgia. Memories. Your first bedroom you remember growing up in. The bedroom you left when you went to college. The unmowed part of lawn on the side of the driveway where you parked your first car. The chair on that one specific side of the table you always […]
So. Just saw Andrew Bird [for the first time] last night at a most epic setting (Fourth Presbyterian Church) here in Chicago, with a snowy blizzard quietly wreaking havoc on the communities outside. We sat in our pews like obedient romantic children of yore while listening to a man create looping melodies and harmonies with […]
An ever epic return. The rumors and myths have existed for years. And recent precursors regarding tour dates and collaborations ignited the interwebs with the real possibility that a new Avalanches album might be juuust over the horizon.

This time of year, it’s nigh impossible to go to any store, street corner, radio station, podcast, uber, friend’s car ride, or waiting room without being inundated with holiday songs. It’s cool, I guess. There’s the staples like Ol’ Blue Eye’s rendition of “Sleigh Ride”, Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas is You”, or even […]
500 posts! Wait, only 500 posts? Hasn’t this blog been truckin’ along since, what, 2007? Well… when you go thru the usual messes in life sometimes it pulls you away from the inane and insignificant. I like to look back every now and then on previous posts and all the types of music I’ve consumed. […]
Haven’t listened to the non-remixed version too often, but I do enjoy this french house/nu disco remix from producer Uppermost. Reminds me of some early Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. Pressuring bass under 80’s synth drums giving way to funk guitar solos? …mmmmmmyyeaaa! Unfortunately he could’ve taken things past the initial apex at the 2:30 […]

Not having cable means one is limited in the media they consume. Either by word of mouth, podcasts, npr, or in this case–reddit. Nine different (read: amazing and unique) animators came together to collaborate a music video for Dan Deacon’s track “When I Was Done Dying”. Here are the animators in chronological order per the […]
