It’s my birthday and I’ll post what I want to. Call them over-hyped or what you like, but there’s a reason Clap Your Hands Say Yeah took off like a rocket in ‘05: they’re darn good. For the past year or so “Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood” has been a song that I […]

Well folks, today is my birthday, and as such I’ll be posting whatever songs I feel like. Hopefully I’ll get one or two more up before I have to heard over to The Dame to catch The Late B.P.

God bless the internet. Someone already put the Apples in Stereo’s performance from Desdemona online. Unfortunately I don’t have a DIME account, so I can’t download it. If any of you can get it to me, email me and I’ll tell you the best way (hint: yousendit.com). Thanks.
I’ve got it, and it’s online for you […]

Did you know that after the death of Brainiac’s Tim Taylor, John Schemersal lived in a Masonic temple in Kentucky and recorded an acoustic album under the name John Stuart Mill? Apparently it’s true. Thank God we eventually got the beauty that is Enon. I wasn’t blown away with their live show when I saw […]
