Available for free download here. Unfortunately, there seems to be some heavy traffic on the site, so I haven’t actually been able to download it. Thus the world must wait for the inevitable Hornblower dis track. I want to make sure I have all the ammunition I can in my armory. Even so, something tells [...]

Girl Talk releases new album, All Day
15 Nov 2010Top Albums of 2010
06 Feb 2010Premature, you say? The first month of the year is hardly over, you say? Chicken noodle soup is better cold, you say? Prunes are your favorite dried fruit, you say? How about you just keep it down over there. An extreme amount of good music has been released so far this year, and even more [...]
Senior superlatives
29 Jan 2010Concerts, albums… what’s left? Songs, of course. Best song to sing a capella: ‘Two Weeks’ – Grizzly Bear. Gets even better if you have someone else do the “Ooooh-ooh-ooooooh-ooh” to your “Would you always?” and “Maybe sometimes” Best song that got me to dance alone in my room like a madman: ‘My Girls’ – Animal [...]
Decades
29 Jan 2010The title is a Joy Division reference, just to be clear. Hip. Some people say the decade doesn’t end until the end of 2010. These people are overzealous and probably think they’re cool because they listen to Cold War Kids. Hey, here’s a fun activity. Try to find out how many songs in your iTunes [...]
Continued crunch
09 Jan 2010Let’s talk albums. Once again, for the first seven months of the year or so, I was up on things, then I just kind of listened to old music for a while. This will be a highly personal review of the year. Let’s get these three out of the way first: Merriweather Post Pavilion by [...]
Year-end crunch time
04 Jan 2010Here it is, readers. The end of the year. And the end of an era. The end of 2009. And the end of December. The end of the rope. And the end of the week. The end of the line. And the end of the word “refrigerate.” The end of my last breath. And the [...]
I guess this is kind of supposed to be a music blog, at times
06 Oct 2009So, I know that this Web log has a lot to offer, and I also know that many of you rely on it for not just humorous tales and clever quips, but also current events and dog-training tips. This creates a huge responsibility for me to make sure I’m not leaving you all down in [...]
Hey, go see Besnard Lakes at Mercury Lounge this Saturday
01 Oct 2009Thanks. Also, Faust at MHoW tonight, for the krautrock special. I will be eating boiled cabbage in their honor.
No Deachunter (No Age, Dan Deacon and Deerhunter) at Brooklyn Bowl, 2 August 2009
13 Aug 2009After two days without posts, I feel like I owe everyone a whole lot of words. Here are a few about the Dan Deacon/No Age/Deerhunter round robin show that was supposed to be a Pool Party show at the Williamsburg Waterfront, but was moved indoors to Brooklyn Bowl. The venue change didn’t create a misnomer [...]
Right?
13 Aug 2009No post yesterday. Or the day before! Wow. I know this caused no small measure of disappointment, especially to my more devoted readers. Please know, however, that this Web log will be all the better for the delay. Some of you may know that in just nine days I will be leaving these fair shores [...]
