OMD Kind of Night
Nervous Nervous Nervous Nervous
I had my second and probably final grad school interview today. I wished I had been as calm and collected on Friday as I was today but I can’t take that back. I did ok Friday, but I was so nervous, I think my fingernails were sweating. I think maybe the only time I’ve been […]

Can’t ever get enough Old 97’s
In a western town, beneath the northern lights, where the pine trees pine for the fall of night, you believe in cards, you believe in signs and I’ll be leavin’ soon, but I’m here tonight. On a mountainside, well below the stars, keep your lovers eyes in mason jars and I should be scared but […]

Synth Britannia
I started watching this video series on YouTube, there are 9 of them. I just went out and bought some of my old vinyl on cd or iTunes. I had been holding out for years to find the first OMD record on vinyl again (I sold off all my vinyl when I moved out of […]

Best Music of the Decade
Ok, this was very difficult, I know I’m missing some. I thought initially that I’d try to limit the list to just 20, but I can’t do it. This was a great decade for music. This isn’t in any sort of order. Best albums of the decade. 2000 to 2009 New Pornographers – Mass Romantic […]

Deerhoof Meets Godard's Sympathy for the Devil
I just got back from picking up Jean-Luc Godard’s Sympathy for the Devil on DVD from the Multnomah Library (best library system, ever). I’ve been meaning to watch this for a while but it’s been hard to track down. It features lots of footage from Rolling Stones rehearsals and concerts intermixed with political footage and […]

Neko Case and Apple #34
I saw Neko Case last night at the Herbst Theatre as part of the city arts and lectures Talking Music series. It was so, so great. I’ve had a pretty big crush on her for several years now. Hearing her talk was a real treat. I haven’t had that many belly laughs in one sitting […]
Girl Time and Music Weekend

Sunday I spent with Stacie and Lisa, Traipsing around the city. We drank beer, ate nachos, got mall massages, did some shopping, and had […]
Seriocity by Chamelions
The Chamelions Seriocity I used to be so sure I used to be so certain Now it’s gone Always wanting more Bleating out excuses I have none Cast reflections in the water Now that the deed is done We’ll wait And watch the ripples fade away Hearts are breaking Someone’s daughter Joins with someone’s son […]
