Because you know I love drama, and YouTube clips — why else did I spend an unmentionable amount of minutes watching Coco T’s channel last night? But Coco doesn’t really make music that much, so let’s post something else — here’s this video from cute-as-buttons English cabaret duo Bitter Ruin. They’ve started posting some Christmas posts […]

who needs the sun when he goes away
I found myself in Boston once again. This time I had brought along a traveling companion, someone to act as a phởtographer and, perhaps, mitigate (or at least document) the various horrors that consistently befall me whenever I attempt to do anything with my life besides huddle in a darkened room under a pile of […]

Die Antwoord, or, what my brains are like lately (?)
Hey guys. I’m really busy trying to write a book, but now and again I get the chance to read Twitter, and when I do it’s often 50 Cent’s hilarious updates (why is he dating Chelsea Handler?). But today South African hip hoppers Die Antwoord tweeted their new video, and I have to say “Evil […]

Amazing cover (mid-90s edition)
K so lately I’ve been loving the song “Your Woman” by White Town. The songwriter, Jyoti Mishra, said of the tune: “I was trying to write a pop song that had more than one perspective. Although it’s written in the first person the character behind that viewpoint isn’t necessarily what the casual listener would expect.” The gender […]

Songs of Córdoba, Songs of Madrid
Forget the bells of La Giralda (I have), here’s the real music of Spain: from Russian Red to the sextastic sounds of Ke$ha, the tunes of a different world are tracked down and killed with precise blows.

Proud Sponsors of Pepsi
Mas y Mas were introduced to me by a certain ex-waitress-at-a-strip-club on a recent jaunt down to Richmond. Let me set the scene: walking to the gas station for cigarettes you might see a dude sitting on his porch blowing on his digeridoo (thusly named Digeridude), too many cute girls riding bikes to count, and […]

Jeff Mangum, the Chris Knox Benefit
This is a shorty post, but I wanted to bring your attention to this video — last week, loads of brilliant musical acts got together for the purposes of fundraising for Chris Knox. Overall, it seemed that Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel was the draw of the evening, but the fundraiser itself was a huge […]

Magic Mang
I recently had the good fortune to see post-Postal Service indie synth whatever-core band Magic Man, kicking ass in an overcast, early time slot of a certain Festival of Springtime Abandon. Sorta hometown heroes that they were, they played their hearts out for handful of their goofy, adoring college kid fans, and watching them it […]

Gaijinfest 2010: Domo Arigato, Mister J-Rocko
Stereotypes about Japanese culture persist in the Western consciousness, in spite, or perhaps as a result of our increased exposure to it. Blogs, magazines, and TV shows love to say, “OH LOOK AT HOW WEIRD AND FUCKED UP JAPAN IS,” and that’s because people who don’t live in Japan only want to see only the […]

seein’ nothin’ but blue and gray
Nostalgia for a place I’ve never been. Regret over the end of a relationship that I was never in. Ever had a film, book, or song give you that feeling? It’s a rare thing, disconcerting in a way that’s difficult to define, yet a feeling I’ll always seek again. It’s hard to explain, but let me try, […]
