[Physical] Albums may start disappearing sooner. ....
Billy Corgan recently explained to Kerrang : “People don’t even listen to it all. They put it on their iPod, they drag over the two singles, and skip over the rest. The listening patterns have changed. So why are we killing ourselves to do albums? Our primary function now is to be a singles band. We’ll still be creative, but in a different form.” Well, while I think...

Charles Spearin’s (of Broken Social Scene/ DMST) new The Happiness Project melds dialogue and music to form this “concept” album.  Very interesting indeed! Thanks

Brooke Waggoner →
Ok, so this is twice today that I’ve read about this girl and her folk-pop.  Got some catchy stuff on her little ‘ol Myspacey, and the piano work isn’t too shabby either.  So go jump over there, and start talking her up to all your friends today before she gets huge and you have to pretend you never really liked her anyway. xo

Best of '08
Rather than subjecting you to an uber-predictable and oh-so uncreative “Best of ‘08 ZOMFG!!!” (music-wise), I’ve decided, being new to this blogging/tumblr business, I would do a blog “theme” and pick my best recent tracks from all the music blogs I’ve recently introduced myself to. Tracks, you ask?  Yes, because one, I haven’t been employed by a...

My favorite dudes give us their 10 for the year, throwing my friend Eddie’s band Its Casual (who are waaay worth checking out) on one of their coveted spots.  Ok, if you know nothing of Chunklet, they put together one of my FAVE books of all time Chunklet Overrated and you can look for it here.  Seriously hysterical, especially if you’re onena tham muzac snobs…An excerpt (because...

Team-Love Library →
If you are into artists like Jenny Lewis, The Berg Sans Nipple, Tilly & The Wall, etc. and are also into free albums and rarities downloads, I would head to this label’s “library” site immediately.  They require you to “get a library card” (ie. register) but it literally takes 2.5 seconds.  Enjoy! Big thanks to

A Lame Post. Just thoughts.
The Bronx own my soul.  I really needed that energy tonight ( + sold-out crowd bonus).  Crystal Antlers were pretty impressive… They just need a little more experience.  I felt like they would’ve been killer had they not seemed like a bunch of ADHD 16 year olds. Also, didn’t know the new bassist (Bronx-wise) is from Louisville.  We talked about our Ear-X-tacy and CD Central...
