Gary Wilson is weird.
Sunday night while I was sipping on a little (ok, a lot) of Jim Beam, I began sifting though my record collection with the hope of finding something I hadn't heard in a while.

Cassette From My Ex.
Ever know someone special enough to make a one of a kind mixtape only to breakup days later? Maybe it was your choice in music, maybe they weren’t a big fan of ‘X’ or ‘Velvet Underground’…though I can’t see why! Maybe it was you realizing that while making your lover’s mixtape it finally dawned on […]17 years ago

A Good Way To Waste 4 Minutes.
I love this song. I love this video. It’s helpful to watch this especially if you are in a melancholic mood, as I am today. The combo punch to the face of the song and video will slowly build up the good feelings part of yourself. I’m almost there. Nujabes – Luv (sic) pt. 2 […]17 years ago

Over the past several months I've noticed that musicians from really good bands and some really horrible ones have been joining forces and creating 'Supergroups'.

Cassette Art.
This is amazing! An artist named Brian Dettmer has been creating some really interesting art over the past several years, all constructed out of cassette tapes. Find out more here DesignBoom.com This is also super cool and makes me wish so very much that I had thought to do this… thanks to Bryan and Karl […]17 years ago
La Roux vs The Temper Trap
I remember hearing this song all over the radio, specifically on C89.5 who specialize in electro and never knowing who it was. As I was perusing the internet recently I stumbled upon a goldmine. It is La Roux, a couple of kids from England who make really catchy synthpop. Inspired by the 80’s synthpop we […]17 years ago
Kid Sister Concert Review.
I made it to Neumos last night to check out Kid Sister and here’s what I had to say… I’ve always thought it would be fun to have a kid sister. She would come to me with any troubles she was having either with her studies or with boys, and I would always give her […]17 years ago
Everybody’s Working For The Weekend.
Except special friend Kristina, she’s on her way to brokesville and there’s no turning back. She’s recently been laid off and I figured what better way to aid the situation than by us chatting about it for all to hear. So this Friday we’ll learn why Kristina has been shunned from her place of business, […]17 years ago

New Music Alert!
Thom Yorke has released a couple of new songs for us to enjoy. I don’t know if these will end up on a new Radiohead record or maybe another solo work of his, I just know that Thom York, with or without the Radiohead moniker can do no wrong. Listen here… Feeling Pulled Apart By […]17 years ago
Bad Karaoke.
I’ve been heavy into the karaoke scene for the past few years and really have no shame when it comes to entertaining the masses. So I figured that this Friday we would make a mix of the best and worst songs to sing at karaoke. I’ll have my friend MorTEN in to chat about his […]17 years ago
R.I.P. Captain Lou Albano
It was the early 80’s and I remember being about 7 years old when I attended a WWF match. That’s when you had all the greats. Hulk Hogan, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake and of course, Captain Lou Albano. My memory of the entire event is a little fuzzy […]17 years ago
Sleeveface.
This is awesome! Sleeveface is described as ‘one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion’. This is yet another really cool thing associated with vinyl, the others being backmasking and secret texts inscribed on the ‘dead wax’ of a record. Check out the […]17 years ago
Miike Snow.
This is some of the most infectious indie electro pop I've heard in a while . Hailing from Sweden, Mike Snow combines the songwriting and production talents of Bloodshy & Avant (Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg) with American producer and lead singer Andrew Wyatt.
