Love at First Listen: The Go! Team – Bottle Rocket

By Giania • Sep 24th, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot: Bottle Rocket – The Go! Team I was minding my own business when: Digging through my collection I stumbled across a compilation with a few tracks I wanted to get in my list for the day, and opted to listen to the whole thing. This sweet jam surprised me with horns that screamed 70′s [...]



Love at First Listen: Beautiful Small Machines – Counting Back to 1

By Giania • Sep 17th, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot: Edited to remove imeem embed, since it only played 30 seconds. This poppy, energetic, tightly executed ditty grabbed me in the first few seconds the way few songs have in a while (since the Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal, I reckon). It’s a super catchy balance of techno precision and warm pop sensibilities, wrapped [...]



Best You Should Have Heard: Fleet Foxes

By Giania • Mar 21st, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot: There’s so much to love about the Fleet Foxes, and at this point, so many people have said so many brilliant things about them it would be rather redundant to throw my commentary into it. I should however like to note that they have a 6 song EP available – Sun Giant – for [...]

By Giania • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Audio

If you don’t know what lulz are, you should really lurk moar. But I digress. There is delicious meme and remix torrent. You must grab it. Or listen to a few of the tracks here.



A Very Common Musical Distraction

By fragmad • Nov 17th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: I’ll have you know that this was that the reason I first went on YouTube was to find the music video for this song. Sad isn’t it? Most people went there to find video of cats being insufferably cute. Well I’m a heartless cock who wants to watch Britpop era music videos before I’m [...]



A Subterranean Homesick Musical Distraction

By fragmad • Nov 16th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: More 1960s love! It’s not a coincience that the baby boomers invented all the good music. They had the right politcal situation, the right drugs, none of the AIDS and the right economic situation. The world isn’t in the right place to throw off the shackles of the baby boomers. I doubt we’ll be [...]



A Drug Haze Filled Musical Distraction

By fragmad • Nov 15th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: I have nothing to say. These videos should explain everything perfectly well. Incidently I’ve just past the half way mark of my novel. That’s the only explanation you’re going to get.



Alert! Yet Another Musical Distraction.

By fragmad • Nov 14th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: I can’t remember when I first heard this song. I’m not from a family that listened to Neil Young when I was a kid. So if I was to put an age on it’d be around 17 or 18. When I was out there discovering music to listen to of my own. This would [...]



Another Day, Another Musical Distraction

By fragmad • Nov 12th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: I’m writing this without access to the Internet. I’m currently sitting in a lecture theater at my old university watching animé. I’ve no idea what animé it is. Something about a school girl being chased by magic demon things. There’s a big black and red dog. It’s all a bit odd! Anyway, that’s all [...]



Another Light Musical Distraction

By fragmad • Nov 11th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: Another day another music video. This time Dresden Dolls. Again, no ideas on where I first heard the song. I’ll try and select a song tomorrow that has a more amusing anecdote. Although I did know a girl from Dresden once. It was during my time spend in Switzerland. She spoke quite good Russian [...]
