IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I POSTED something in my “Singles Going Steady” series of posts, but I have been infected with this song by a band called Portugal. The Man. out of Alaska. The song, “People Say”, kicks off their latest album “The Satanic Satanist”.
I have cheated a […]
TODAY’S COMMUTE kicked off with a rousing MP3 performance of “5:15″ by the Who. Sometimes the random play on the Zune just stumbles upon a song that just fits into the time, the place and the day.
I SAW REFERENCE to some new Cornership on the Super Furry Animals list I am on. I know Cornershop from their first album and the hit single “Brimful of Asha”. I have a hard time resisting a song that includes the lyric “everybody needs a bosom for a pillow”.
The converstaion also […]
THE NEW SUPER FURRY ANIMALS album extravaganza - Dark Days/Light Years hits the shelves of record stores everywhere today (and online retailers for those not shopping locally). Less straight forward than their last album, it is messed up in a good way. Even Pitchfork, which seems to only really like annoying noise rock, […]
PATTY AND I MADE it out for this year’s tour of Japan Nite. Some new bands played, like Flip, while old favorites played as well, detroit7. More as I catch up on my sleep after being late on a school night last evening.

BASED ON READING a large number of online reviews of the new U2 album (using Metacritic.com), “No Line on the Horizon”, you get to ready many different ways to say some of the same basic things.
U2 is the biggest and most pampered rock band in the world. They are great live band […]
LOOKS like the lads will be playing just up the street tomorrow night at the Somerville Theater in Davis Square. I don’t listen to much local radio, so no luck on getting tickets.
It is weird to hear this after spending the last week listening to the new U2 album, “No Line on […]
I HAVE never really listened to the Band until my trip last week. I downloaded a bunch of their early albums to my Zune (I do love the Zune Pass for music binges like this), and I listened to a number of them.
The song that stands out for me is ‘The Night […]
I JUST noticed that the J. Geils Band will be uniting for one more gig this February. They will be playing the House of Blues in Boston. Too bad I will be out of town, I would pay the high prices for a ticket. I saw them during my teenage years in […]
