I've continued to have The Killers and Elefant high on the daily rotation. I am surprised that I have been listening to both of these albums so much. In analyzing them I don't see that they are technically outstanding albums. There is just something about the feeling and these albums that keeps luring me back in. I don ...
A few days ago I added 2 more classic albums to my collection. Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister and Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation. They are both excellent but vastly different.
I have always heard a lot of good things about Belle and Sebastian but have not heard them until now. When listening to the album the artists ...
I've been getting back into the Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I after seeing it so high on the top 100 albums of the 90's list. I was surprised to see it at #16. Its a good album but I didn't realize it was that critically acclaimed. The song Spider in the Snow is probably my favorite on the ...
I've spent a good amount of time this evening reading through all of pitchforkmedia's top 100 albums of the 80's and 90's and most recently they started a countdown for the 70's. I've really been into the 80's over the last several months. There are a ton of albums on the 80's ...
I just obtained the newly released album by The Killers. The majority of the tracks are quality, but a few are rather weak. The bands that come to mind while listening to The Killers: New Order, Rapture, Queen, Blondie, some Ian McCollough vocals (Echo and The Bunnymen). It really fits in well with the trend started by Interpol, I don ...
I just viewed Trainspotting for the first time in several years. I haven't watched it since I obtained my heightened appreciation of style and cinematography, I found it excellent in that area. It was unyieldingly violent and grotesque, but makes a good point. It has fresh ideas and snappy cuts. Overall, I'm very glad I picked it up ...
Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together
I've been listening to The ...
I'm going to see Spoon tonight @ Opolis. I think it should be a good time. I've got a recording of them playing on Austin City Limits which is very cool. I don't like their latest record Kill the Moonlight quite as well as their previous effort Girls Can Tell but I'm still excited to see them ...
I witnessed an excellent Canadian based concert last night with my buddy Justin at the Conservatory in OKC.
The first band was actually a band from Oklahoma called Ice Walters. They weren't too bad, I've heard worse opening bands. I wouldn't run out and buy their album right now but they have potential.
Next up was probably ...
I'm excited to get to go see the Unicorns tonight. I'm curious to see how they will sound in concert, I think it will be a lot of fun. The album Who Will Cut our Hair When We're Gone has been frequently on my playlist since I got it awhile back.
I'm also going to get ...
