The real deal: What’s in your “Top 25 Most Played”?
How often do you play a song that is purely guilty pleasure listening? Would you share such guilty pleasures with the world? These days we are able to engage with music on so many different platforms it seems that your library’s top played songs are an intimate look into your true musical self. And with […]
Four Tet and Thom Yorke @ Plastic People
11 June, 2011
No plans were in place to attend this night last night. Hanging out with one of Radiohead’s biggest fans – and luckily being at the bar across the street when we heard the news that Thom Yorke was rumored to be doing a DJ set there – meant a quick leap over to the good […]

This past month was rich with some lovely releases but with no time to dive into it all my list is a little short. More next month. Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi – Rome Austra – Feel It Break EMA – Past Life Martyred Saints The Vaccines – What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?
Top April Releases
18 May, 2011
It may be a little late to be doing these shout outs as we are already deep into May. I could claim that it is because I needed the music to soak in before calling out my favorites. In reality, with post-SXSW catch-up, two bank holidays in April and my big birthday (3-0), personal things […]
Top March Releases
4 April, 2011
With Austin, TX working it’s way into all things this past month I am a little biased by the performers I saw there.

New Erykah Badu video directed by Flying Lotus
10 February, 2011
Although Erykah Badu’s last video for “Window Seat” caused such an uproar due to her impromptu strip show at at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza, it unlikely has anything to do with the headscarf she is wearing in this new video for “Gone Baby – Don’t Be Long”. Considering the ease for which she navigates below the […]
The music biz in 2010
7 February, 2011
The music industry has been under a lot of heat for failing to adopt to digital forms of distribution quickly enough to translate into anything that can be deemed as progressive or impressively profitable. Lucky for us Ryan Van Etten, in his own blog VirtualMusic.tv, has put the heat into numbers that show a positive […]
Top January releases
31 January, 2011
As one can probably tell from the title, I am trying to highlight notable releases by month. Hopefully this both provides me with my first topic for realistic, consistent blog posting, and anyone who likes monthly new music consumption a nice starting point of reference. In turn, I am very excited as this will make […]
MJ gets love in Munchen
22 January, 2011
Upon arrival in Munich last week my dear friend picked me up from the airport and immediately took me to see the new Michael Jackson memorial in the center of the city. I was traveling with a good friend who shares my history of growing up loving Michael Jackson so naturally it was obvious that […]
