Aceyalone – The Way It Was EP

No matter how catchy the songs are, a 2-song EP is not necessarily indicative of the quality you'll get with the following full-length. I'll definitely want to listen to the LP after it's drop (I believe March 31), but this sounds fresh. I have some...

Andrew Bird – Noble Beast

I think I originally heard about this album on Stereogum, but I can't remember for sure. Nonetheless, Andrew Bird is an extremely talented Singer/Songwriter and in my humble opinion, a world class whistler. Since I'm relatively new to his music, I did...

Bishop Allen – Grrr…

Since I'm really into new and different types of music, and I am just arrogant enough to think people care about this fact, I've decided to share my 'Best Of' selections throughout the year. I will probably still tie everything together with a Top 10 List...

Back in the saddle

After we lost my mom it felt pointless to prattle on about indie music, sneakers, code or any of the other topics I have covered since I started blogging. I have been adjusting to life without my mom and we're making progress, I think. I am typing...

My Top 10 Songs of 2007

There was so much great music released this past year, that creating a list of the top 10 was very difficult. There were a number of great songs that for one reason or another, were just not able to break into the top 10. I think it's important to...

My lovely wife Amy, who has apparently become a blogging experts of sorts, notified me that if I want people to read my blog then I should make an effort to keep it fresh. Well, even though I don't have one major topic to expound on, I do have a number of...

Our first big night out

I haven't written in a while because I wasn't sure I had anything worthy of a post. Last night, however, was the first night out (of any considerable amount of time) for Amy and myself since Elliot was born. We met Jennie and Gordon at their place in...

My Top 10 Songs of 2006

Everyone else is creating their top 10 lists for 2006, why can't I? All of these songs have serious replay value and lyrically, they offer that certain something special. #10 Halo The Harpoon - The Stills From Without Feathers Just because it's a...
