My almost-7-year old son attached himself to an Irish/Scottish band called Snow Patrol a few years ago. I have grown pretty fond of their “Eyes Open” & “Final Straw” albums as well. My son’s favorite song is “You’re all I have”. Brilliant bittersweet songs as one would expect from the land [...]

the song that’s been stuck in my head all day
“He could’ve tuned in, tuned inBut he tuned outA bad time, nothing could save him.Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out.He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles.He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree.The wind rose up, set him down on his knee.
A wave came crashing like a [...]

Dynamic Symmetry
I’m listening to an old favorite on a warm rainy Wednesday morning. It’s one of those albums that continues to grow on you even after the 100th listen. BT’s “This Binary Universe”. If I need a mood lifter this one worth putting in. It requires active listening to fully appreciate. (particularly in surround sound with [...]

Giving the bird to the music industry
I’ve been finding it fascinating watching the decline of the major record companies. They blame their problems on digital piracy and all the millions of people (who care to admit it or not) who have copied, ripped, download, etc. and have not payed for music. It’s my belief that they’re realizing that their current business model [...]

an interesting statement
I have not yet made up my mind whether or not I agree. I like the “album” as a medium….but it’s an interesting notion.

a little nostalgia
I was listening to NPR at work over the weekend when I heard that it was the 15 year anniversay of the death of Kurt Cobain. I was a fan. Music primarily sucked in the late 80’s early 90’s. Alot of the great alternative bands I listened to as a teenager were long gone. Electronic [...]

Neko Case – Middle Cyclone
Yes. though I’m a self proclaimed rivet head I do have some eclectic tastes. Recently while listening to NPR I stumbled across this voice that blew me away…Neko Case. In addition, to having an incredible voice, I love her lyrical imagry and her songs are incredibly well written. I’ve cheecked out some live videos and [...]

It’s not rocket science, it’s apop
As with any longtime Apop fan, “Welcome To Earth” amd “Harmonizer” will always be my faves. In my book they are two very influential electronic masterpieces that made Apop a prominent superpower in the Electronic, EBM, Futurepop, Post-Synth genre/realm.
Then in 2005, they released “You & me Against The World” leaving behind their heavy electronic sound [...]
