Several people in the last few months have been telling me how great this CD by Tom Vek called "We Have Sound" is. I kept checking for it at my local record store but they never had it in. Finally I went ahead and just downloaded it from emusic.com.
I really love this album. Its got this quality about ...
I have been listening to this internet radio station for the last month or so on somafm.com called "indie pop rocks". I think it has a pretty great mix of stuff I like, and new stuff I haven't heard yet. I heard this band "Band of Horses" on there. I wasn't sure at first if I'd ...
I finally got around to getting a copy of T. Rex - The Slider the other day. Its a Rhino re-issue with a bonus disc of alternate versions. I haven't gotten to the second disc yet because I cannot stop listening to The Slider, I have it in the car, on the iPod working out, playing at home, non-stop. In ...
Over the latter half of 2005 I became good friends with an Oklahoma City band called The Stock Market Crash. The first time I saw them play back in June I was really impressed, no one else in Oklahoma City had a sound like that.
I took a few photos at that first show that I didn't really think ...
Anyone who I've talked to about music in the last month or 2 has probably heard me mention the band Wolf Parade. A couple weeks ago I was talking with a friend and I was trying to explain what the sound was like and I thought of the phrase Drunken Calliope Trance. I wanted to write down why I ...
I'm relaxing on a foggy, overcast Sunday afternoon listening to The Smiths and Morrissey albums while drinking espresso. There is just something very comforting to me about listening to Morrissey sing over the jangling guitars. I also find the lyrics inspiring and helps me to think about not just accepting things as they are. I've heard people say ...
The last 2-3 weeks have been really busy for me....
Work has been insane. On a project that is very frustrating at times and everything has to be done NOW. It hasn't been like this until now but I do think it is temporary, so hopefully that will be over soon...
However, I've seen 3 great shows recently ...
I just decided to start writing on the blog again. So here goes...
I've been taking a lot of pictures within the last couple of months. Including a new set of black and white photos from downtown Oklahoma City, Tulsa, a set from the Death From Above 1979 concert in OKC as well as a few sets of my ...
Making a mix cd for me is a very important artform. It is a way I can express my musical tastes in terms of my relationship to another person and their musical tastes. I have many self-imposed rules that are often changing and I try to add and break my rules as often as possible. I often think of the ...
I have read good things about Xiu Xiu for some time but I finally picked up a copy of their Fabulous Muscles release last week. The sound is all over the place but very original. A lot of synth and electronic but still has a garage punk sound at times. Also, a few slower unabashedly personal tracks are on the ...
