Goodbye, my friends...thanks for a good 5 year run!
I really haven't been blogging much
anymore...I guess I've been doing it for too long. For a critical
period of time I felt like I couldn't relate with the people around me,
so I resorted to computer geekiness to satisfy my need for
companionship. One summer activity I undertook, just to give me
something "productive" to do was teaching myself html so I could make a
fansite dedicated to John Cusack. Its called John
Cusack: Hollywood Underdog and trust me, even though I still
think Mr. Cusack has made some great flicks (and I just bought the cult
classic Tapeheads on DVD) I...
Band to Check Out: The Kills
The Kills consist of Jamie "Hotel" Hince who plays guitar with the harsh blues reminiscent of Jack White's (The White Stripes) signature guitar style. Hince's playing is a bit more textured, and the band's whole sound centers around its rhytmic sexual pulse, which is fueled by American vocalist, Alison "VV" Mosshart. She purrs like she's the love-child of PJ Harvey and Debbie Harry; I definitely hear echos of PJ Harvey's album, To Bring You My Love in her vocal style. It doesn't get much more bare bones than this band, and they prove you don't need a six piece band to get a huge sound,...
Random Indie Video: "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn, and John
The random indie video I'm throwing at ya features the Stolkholm based twee 60'ish pop of Peter Bjorn and John, (Peter Morén, Bjorn Yttling, and John Erikkson). Holy moly, those Swedes are taking over indie rock, and maybe that's not such a bad thing. First there was The Hives back in 2002 (I liked them so much, I even own a Hives t-shirt); then I got into Jens Lekman's droll love tunes, obviously heavily influenced by the quirky, wry genius of Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields. Now there's Peter Bjorn and John with this song is that is catchy as fuck, take that to mean whatever you...
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
"Hallelujah" is the first song I heard by Buckley, and immediatly I was hooked. I remember sitting in my friend's basement bedroom, completely confused about who I wanted to be and if I was destined to be alone forever. I know I was only 17, but hopeless romantics like me get edgy and impatient with the lack of direction in their romantic lives. Then, out of the speakers comes this voice that my friends told me I had to hear. I never knew that a rock singer could chant life's bittersweet music like that.He really helped calm my inner demons and was (and still is) a beacon for...
