I love how Peter Gabriel and David Byrne have done so much for getting world music into this country. Both Real World and Luaka Bop have helped people see that music that isn't from this country can still be good and full of life. I have been listening to music from all over the world today. It is so refreshing to see such brilliance from...

Music... sweet sweet music...
In case you don't already know, I am completely enamored with music in all its forms. Every day I discover something new. I spend most of my time researching music, discovering more and more. I sit here listening to DJ Shadow's "The Private Press" record, and once again, I am stunned by the brilliance of it. I feel a connection with...

Sheesh. First Mary Hansen and now Joe Strummer.
RIP Joe Strummer. He did a fine job bringing a smooth blend of political awareness with all sorts of accompanying music. The Clash did more for music than most bands could even dream of. This is a real loss.

Happy Christmas to you too, doll.
By the way, the limited edition Chocolate Mint Hershey Kisses are spectacular. Melt them in your regular house coffee. It's to die for. Oh and the chocolate mint candy canes from Hershey aren't bad at all either
Stir them in your hot cocoa and remember I'm thinking about you.

Stir them in your hot cocoa and remember I'm thinking about you.I introduced myself to Astor Piazzolla's "Tango: Zero Hour" tonight and it is absolutely incredible. What a magnificent work. His New Tango Quintet is full of passion and soul. Astor even says, "We gave our souls to this record" and it perfectly comes across in the music. This is some of the best music I have ever laid ears on.

Thank you for the feedback, I always appreciate hearing about my writing from you, you really put some thought into it & it's very helpful and encouraging. I will send you a mix CD, prob after xmas as well...just email me whereabouts to send it. I'll include Interpol minus the song Joss sent you, plus BoC and Plaid and some surprises...

I want people who like punk and people who like hip-hop to see that both of those forms of music come from the same concept. They are both commentaries on today's society. They both brew from the same...

I'd be in a cemetery where it's snowing and I'm wearing a beanie and scarf and mittens while drinking hot chocolate and a handsome boy in specs is taking pictures of my fingers tracing the lettering on a gravestone.

Mary Hansen, vocalist for Stereolab, was killed in a bike accident. She was hit by a car while riding her bike and was killed in London. She was 36.
What a terrible event. I have liked Stereolab ever since I heard "Parsec" on that VW Beetle ad. When I bought "Sound-Dust" in the spring, I became absolutely enamored with the band.
She will be sorely...

Sigh. 
That just topped off my whole cruddy week. Terrible.
It's funny, I was a bit peeved at that VW ad when it first appeared ("What? Stereolab is selling out??"). That was before I sold my soul to the man, though...(ie, lightened up.)

And I never realized how much I loved her until we were bound in chains together. When you have a person's weight dragging you deeper down to the ocean floor, you can quickly develop a great understanding and appreciation for someone.
I remember how she twisted and turned, trying to break free from those chains. She spent every ounce of her strength trying to perform...

since I've only seen it once i don't particularly remember the music but I know i don't like movies with bad soundtracks... it ruins everything
so I know I remember liking it as far as it goes along with the movie well, but it didn't stand out.
K-Pax, now thats a soundtrack that stood out!
I knew i was going to like that movie as soon as the music started.
