Debussy / My Reverie, on a Rhodes... New York, Larry Clinton/Peggy Mann. L.A. It's summer. It's hot and vacations all over the world, i believe in Boston and Berklee too. Birds are singing. The last piece of the puzzle, visiting relatives. Holmes is going ways. He isn't wasting times. In the summer he's a a busy bee, promoting, practicing, arranging meeetings. Tweetings', Myspacing. Who knows. Swimming...
From those warblers purporting to sing in the English language, there are certain notable examples who may as well sing in a made up language all of their own - ala Sigur Ros, as their vocal contortions remain unfathomable. My notable example is Mark Hollis - a beautiful voice IMHO and latter Talk Talk is very dear to me, but what is he going on about? Any other suggestions for most unintelligible...

By the time of their...
Well, totally blitzed at home, watching Kenneth Anger and thinking about Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock- 2 of the greatest hurrahs for rock with Daydream Nation, MBV and the unsurpassable Disco Inferno- major props- what dy'all say? Where did Mark Hollis go...?
Bluebone's third full length cd, "Radio" is their best, in a lot of ways. It captures some of the live energy of this band while getting a clean studio sound. The best of both worlds. These guys perform hard all the time. Their music is tight and each musician brings his own finesse to each cut. The music is clean, bluesy, and modern. Rockers like it, old folks like it, blues people like...
And we're not talking about just one game either. Instead, a Japanese company has concocted no fewer than 18 Nintendo DS titles to help the kids of their country learn English from the ground up.
In doing my very best to keep up with my long distance brother G-Money, I'm FINALLY posting my tagged meme! Better late than never right? I've been tagged (in order of appearance) by Gina at Diabetes Talk Fest, Cara at Every Day Every Hour Every Minute, Bernard at Bernard's Diabetes Blog, Heidi at Diabetic Dane, and Khurt at "honey sweet". Phew! Did I miss anyone? I'm sorry if I did. I'm...
It's about your son, David — or Dave, as I understand he prefers to be known. You see, there’s this woman, Jade Raymond, who helps create video games (her current job title is “producer”). She’s been involved in the video game field for many years, in many different positions, and is known by her [...]

It's officially Friday on this continent, which means my Thanksgiving-longing is over and it's FRT time. I believe I’ve mentioned this before, but I have a wee obsession with Knut, the kleiner Eisbar of the Berlin Zoo. I don't think I’ll be getting around to seeing him this weekend, but I’m excited just to be [...]

Way too many haters. Waaaay. The nerds hate it. Gooood. They hated the iPod. They hate themselves. Amazon snookered all the nerds on Techmem to write about it. Classic. Like anyone in mainstream America cares what Scoble and Arrington have to say. Age is killing the book industry. I [...]
