I went down to DC this past Saturday night to catch the Fray at DAR with Megan. I found a new band to like, The Feeling, from the opening act and the Fray was great live. The only downside of the show came from how popular they had become and the inevitable army of 16 […]

Sweetness is ______
a) The Yanks sweeping the Sox in 5.
b) Sitting on a couch with Summer Ale and House of Jerky jerky.
c) Driving home and hearing an awesome cover of a song that you used to hate.
d) Having a hot girl smile at you as you hold the door open for her.
e) All of the […]

I finally broke down and bought music off of iTunes. I’m not saying that I support their distribution model, I hate hate hate DRM, but I’m weak when it comes to good music. The song that finally broke me was Michael Stipe’s (of REM) cover of the Joseph Arthur’s song In the Sun. Damn you […]

So there were two sperm whales swimming in the ocean minding their own business when they come across a sinking ship. The whales decided to check it out and came across a group of sailors on a life raft. The first whale says to the second whale “Hey don’t you think it would be funny […]

Jamie Cullum’s playing at the 930 Club on March 25th, who wants to go?

Finally busted it out, now to finish tailoring my personal statement for various grad schools.

I’ve been obsessed with WTMD since Vanessa told me about it a couple months back but it’s the best radio station I’ve ever listened to since WSOU way back before their format change. One of the greatest things about the station is that it has constantly exposed me to new artists. I’ve even started buying […]

I was driving home from work today listening to the World Cafe and they were playing a top 5 list which prompted me to my my own.

David Gray - This Years Love
Tool - Eulogy
Dave Matthews Band - Crush
Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

So I’m listing to some music (Norah Jones, New York City album) and it got me thinking that I actually listen to Norah Jones quite a bit so I decided to see just how much by checking Audioscrobbler. Unfortunately the site was down but if I had to guess, I would say that it is […]

All the cool kids have iPods. After spending $230 this past week I am now a cool kid too. I hate to say this but having an iPod, or any other mp3 player that has an obscene amount of storage, really does change the way one listens to music. In addition to my cell phone, […]

Check out my Audioscrobbler page. There will be a permanent link for it once I do my redesign.

I haven’t been to a concert in forever and I feel the need to start going again. I spent sometime checking the local venues and here are a list of ones I want to go to so if anyone is interested, let me know.

Jump Little Children @ The Funk Box on April 1st
Catch 22, Spitalfield, […]

Every once in a while I think I should purge my music collection. Delete all the mp3’s off my HD, trash all my CD’s, and reset the radio stations on my car. Go a significant amount of time without music before I start off on a clean slate, listening to a new set of music […]

After 1.5 weeks straight of having one song stuck in my head

The Killers - Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was […]

Stop fucking listening to Mr. Brightside

Everytime I start to feel that all music sucks, I start listening to a crazy amount of NPR until music somehow redeems itself. In the middle of my NPR binge last month, they had an interview with this classical artist, Gurdijieff Tsabropolos and played some clips of his CD Chants, Hymns, and Dances. So when […]

Because Ling still has the DVD and I’ve read the book 4 times in the past couple of months, I decided to bust out the High Fidelity soundtrack and one of the all time classic classics that you can’t even use as a hook up song anymore came on. I just have to say that […]

I used to think Modest Mouse sucked, actually I still do but there’s something catchy about Float On that makes me unable to stop humming it.

I picked up The Black Crows greatest hits album the other day and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s been a while since I’ve popped in any of their CD’s so the music sounds nice and fresh. They obviously inculded the obvious classic songs (She Talks to Angels and Hard to Handle) but they also […]

I’ve been obsessed with Dashboard Confessional for the past couple of days. I know they’re an RIAA band but being a part of the evil empire doesn’t mean that their music is shit. Rather I would like to praise the band for releasing one of the few RIAA albums that is worth listening to. I’ve […]

So I got into a conversation today that led to what CD was currently in my car. Since it was a mixed CD and I didn’t have all the song memorized, I’m answering that question now with this. Just check the extended entry.

Lost Prophets - Make a Move
July For Kings - New Black Car
Lemonheads - […]

By the way, major props to the movie for using This Years Love by David Grey.

It’s been a while since there has been any news from Tool but I saw on Toolshed today that work on the next album has started.

One of life’s biggest cruelties is the unrecognizable pop song that’s stuck in your head. I don’t normally listen to the radio which means my exposure to pop music is minimal. But while I was waiting for Chasing Liberty the other day, I heard this song playing in the background. Three days later I hear […]
