Ahhh….summer. There’s nothing quite like cranking up a bouncy, happy song on a sunny day – whether you’re in a car with the top down, or taking a sunshiny sidewalk stroll with your earphones firmly in place. Sadly, once again this summer, the sunny days in Seattle have been few and far between (Hello, July?). Here’s […]
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drEv4ppt2n4] The news just broke that the White Stripes are no longer. Even casual acquaintances of mine might assume I’m drowning in red and white tears over “the end” of one of my favorite groups. I am a little. But actually I’m slightly relieved because nothing stings more than a beloved band going the way […]
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ3c3WZ-3UU] My video addiction this week hasn’t been a video for a song but a video about a vinyl record single. Each time I watch it, I’m more intrigued, baffled, and hungry to get my hands on a copy of a Triple Decker Record. Anyone in Nashville want to run down to their local […]
It’s no secret that I love and trust everything Jack White does. From his short drumming stint with Goober and the Peas, to anything White Stripes, to the recent Dead Weather album, I’m all about the JW love. You can imagine my surprise when I heard the melody of the White Stripes’ “Fell In Love […]
I had a low-key Sunday writing nearly-overdue thank-you notes (which is actually quite fun because you get to gush to your friends about how great they are), sipping copious amounts of tea, and pulling an afternoon soundtrack from the most recently acquired vinyl in the stack. Near the top of the stack was the debut […]
I hope I’m not getting too granular with my listage, but given the empowering nature of turning the page on the decade, I can’t help myself–I wanted to make sure that that certain song gems didn’t go unrewarded for their brilliance. Thusly, I compiled the below list of songs released in the last decade that […]
Yesterday I divulged my favorite albums of the year. Today I am ready to let go of my latest obsession: My album recap of how I spent my 00’s. The below listage rant is my own little time capsule to remind myself why 2000-2009 musically ruled. As with my other list posts, I’m certain I […]
How neat is it that Meg White not only married in the surely beautiful Nashville southern belle of a home of Jack White (bandmate, ex-husband) but she's hitched herself to Jackson Smith (son of Fred and Patti Smith) in a double wedding ceremony. The other couple hitched in the ceremony: Jack Lawrence, the bass player […]
This morning I woke up and checked the news to hear about the collapse of the bailout loans for Ford, General Motors and Chrysler (which would have give them upwards of $14 billion dollars). I am still uncertain as to whether or not we should let Detroit collapse or not (I have no sympathy for […]
NME is sponsoring the first-ever NME Awards USA. I just tried going over to their website to read about the nominees, and when voting ends, but apparently you need to be a registered user to see the information. And that's completely lame. So I won't be voting. If you don't have the same online editorial […]
