    I have actually been wanting to say something about it for a while. About my displeasure with Weezer’s latest album, that is. Anyway, I didn’t have to, because Reagan pretty well summed it up. The only thing that I would have changed, had I gotten around to expressing my version of her post, is: Blue…

    My morning commute never fails to provide entertainment in one way or another. Today I came across this poster for the first time. Being that it is my first time on the “A” train in 10 days, it may have been up for a while already. At first glance, I thought it was a fairly…

    I’m getting pretty excited to spend some time outside watching free music this summer. Last year we saw Beastie Boys outside twice (at the C. Park stage and McCarren Park Pool).

    We had band practice last night. It was the first time that we have played together since Chris picked up his new guitar and amp. It was pretty cool. He got an old Fender strat from his brother. There is a pretty big difference in the way the songs sound, when replacing the acoustic with…

    I have been listening to a lot of late 80’s and early 90’s music lately. Most of it is the stuff that I listened to in Jr. High and the beginning of High School. One of these fine tracks on the JPod is by Bauhaus (yeah, remember them?). I was being very amused by the…

    Every year on March 11, I am reminded of the band 311. For a period after I graduated from high school, and most of the way through college, they were in my top 3 favorites. My favorite album by them is still Grassroots. My favorite song by them is probably “8:16 A.M.” P-nut is one…

    For all of you Base58 fans, Steve Mannion has a new blog in which he posts songs (a long with a short blurb about them) beginning in the late 70’s working their way forward. They are mostly from same genre as his Base58 mashup material (electronica type stuff). For those of you who are not…
