rounding out may with a soft number culled from the adult swim "singles program."

i'll likely try to put together a may mix and post it in the next couple of days.

pending motivation.

5.30.2010

ha! found you, internets.

nothing comforts the low buzz of a slight hangover and girds one for the melee of a post-wedding family picnic like the year 1994.

5.29.2010

in honor of attending the opulent wedding of my immensely wealthy cousin, i give you:

not that i'm a class warrior or anything.

i may be out of the reach of the internets tomorrow, if so i'll double up on monday.

time to get toasted on the top shelf.

can't decide if this guy's voice is just too ridiculous and affected for me to get around.

it's like someone doing an impression of some terrifying cross between grover and peter gabriel.

and now i'm off for a 3.5 hour train ride during which i can deliberate.

5.27.2010 [i just can't stop]

there are about a dozen awesome things in this video...beyond the song kicking ass.

5.27.2010 [bonus]

just caught this.

not bad.

5.27.2010

i loves me some dirty production, yes i do. have some.

5.26.2010

cute, almost to a fault, but the chorus is catchy as hell.

5.25.2010

you can get away with a lot just by having a scottish accent

and guitars. don't forget guitars.

5.24.2010

wow.

i just don't know.

i can't decide if i really like it or not. definitely keeps me interested, though.

that song is loud as fuck. no doubt about that.

edit [5.25.2010]:

i think i've settled on this being awesome. for now.

first: some mean blues with a ramshackle rhythm stutter straining just to keep the song together.

good shit.

second: there is a band occasionally referenced on lost called "geronimo jackson." it's grateful dead slop, but in honor of tonight being the end of lost here's the original version of the song "dharma lady" that was featured on the show.

5.22.2010

heading out for a day of swilling shitty whiskey and shittier beer, rooftop grilling, and poor decision making.

summer is here.

also, a bit of silliness in a bottle from 1994:

5.21.2010

today, a twofer.

first:


the drums on this track just about break me in half. the studio version from the re-release of a quick one (probably my favorite record from the band) is great, but live at leeds is really something exceptional.

and some bonus goodness from the who:

from the 20th

i'm posting a few days of backlog, as this whole thing started off as gmail away messages.



great song from what was very likely my favorite record of 2008.

from the 19th

i'm posting a few days of backlog, as this whole thing started off as gmail away messages.




hell of a song from a band that i often just forget about.

the plan...

...is to post one new song a day for the next 365 days.

i've missed the mechanics of doing something like this, and i've lapsed in my music digging considerably. this is an attempt to resolve both of these issues.
