Okay, so I love Zooey Deschanel. Case in point: The short version is she has style, intelligence and is ridiculously cute. So, she was in Yes Man with Jim Carey this winter. I thought it was great fun. Her “pretend” band Munchausen By Proxy has several songs in the movie I recently purchased on iTunes [...]

Please, Give me a Second Grace
I am going to cross-link to this post primarily because it’s awesome and I want to be able to find it again later should the need arise. I’ll do this in the guise of some commentary on commentary… How appropriate to the web. I found the following commentary on music in The Royal Tenenbaums. In [...]
Papillon Parade
I just really liked this image after listening to Masterfade by Andrew Bird.
Gibson SG
So, I picked my guitar last night after probably over a year. It was nice to realize that I still have very aspect of “Say it Ain’t So” and “Everlong” memorized. I even took the time to learn a new song. Oh, I’ve missed my guitar. Perhaps more interesting was my distant, nostalgia about “Everlong.” [...]
Andrew Bird
I attended the Andrew Bird show on Wednesday evening. It was a really great time. Their opener was a band called Lonely, Dear who was also awesome. I’m not quite sure how to describe the opener. They are from Sweden and used strange noises in harmony to great effect. I couldn’t tell much about the [...]
Some Musicology?
I attended Opera at the Grand. The Grand, by the way, is a super-cool theatre. It’s obviously from the 30s and very art-deco, despite the fact that it is relatively small. It comes from a time when people cared about the appearance of such things beyond is it “clean” and is it “functional.” I still [...]
Weezer – The how and why?
Weezer. A band that for many people of approximately 25-31 conjures up images of middle school to high school listening to “Say it Ain’t So” while riding in a car to some destination of young fantastical (only in our minds) whimsy. Similarly, the name Weezer conjures images of the greatness of the infamous second album, [...]
AOL Radio & Pandora on iPhone
I just love AOL iPhone Radio and Pandora iPhone, Pandora is on the left, here. They are both apps for listening to music on your iPhone. I love my iPhone, as anyone who knows me will attest. Recently, as a sort of birthday present to myself, I was considering getting satellite radio, mostly for the [...]
Imogen Heap
So I’ve been listening to Imogen Heap these days. I really forget in this world of throwaway pop, how much I simply enjoy great, poetic, picture-painting lyrics. For example: Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before. They take over the sweeping insensitivity of this still life. –Hide and Seek, Imogen Heap Its [...]
Weezer – Make Believe – Peace
All these problems on my mind Make it hard for me to think There is no way I can stop My poor brain is gonna’ pop And I don’t have a purpose Scattered on the surface I need to find some peace And all the broken tethers We can bring together I need to find [...]
