Bloggers are people too
I got an email today from Ryan over at My Yellow Country Teeth. It is interesting the first time that you meet someone you know as a blogger or interact with them outside of posting a comment on their blog. It somehow makes them more real as people that you could (gasp!) actually meet in (Read more…)
Trouble in the hubble huddle
Troubled Hubble is calling it quits. I know that everyone else has posted this today, but (seeing as they are essentially a local band for me) I will follow suit. I remember them as just another local band from the suburbs, but since those days they have matured and their music has grown by leaps (Read more…)
Consistency
I may not be a lot of things, but I certainly am consistent. Two new MP3 tracks each and every weekday almost without fail. Tonight is no exception. Saul Williams is an actor, a poet, and a musician. His words are both personal and political, and brimming with passion. He has a record out on (Read more…)
As slow as rapid city
As I am sitting here drinking my morning coffee and checking the news I keep asking myself, “Am I a bad person? Am I misguided?” Let me explain.

Everyone who has an MP3 blog has probably posted Proton Proton. NYC indie that’s actually worth listening to. Moped Band (Read more…)
A spoonful of emo (vol. 4)
When I think of mid-90’s emo I am brought back to a world where of stacks of LP’s and 7” records lay strewn about various dorm rooms and apartments. There is something very pleasing about listening to music on vinyl. Is it the imperfect cracks and pops of the record, the warm analog sounds? Perhaps (Read more…)
Giving in is like giving up
It’s finally starting to “hit me” that in about 2 months or so I’ll be a dad. Me. A dad. That’s the truth folks. Am I ready? Is anyone ever ready? Me. Corrupting a young mind and irreversibly warping this child’s sense of decency and taste. Wait a sec, my genes have probably already done (Read more…)
Parents-to-be just don’t understand
Maybe I’m getting too old for this shit (maybe). Last night the wife (7 mos. pregnant) and I went to go see her favorite band, Alkaline Trio. As cool and hip as we think we are, we really don’t have a clue. The Trio played a few old songs from the Asian Man days (which (Read more…)
