i’m partial to the night sky. i’m vaguely attracted to rooftops. and i love Freelance Whales. Freelance Whales is a random group i stumbled upon (where else) on XMU. they kinda reminded me of favorites Postal Service or even stupid Owl City (not a fan) at first, but now i’ve found they are much deeper [...]
hola, people of the world! how’s it goin? been a while. missed ya! i made an interesting observation the other day about myself… one that appears to make perfect sense and frankly, is kinda scary. and kinda cool. i just realized that i am dating music. what else can explain it? who else do i [...]
well, a week of sadness is upon us. the week of sadness actually commences next week, but for me, i’m starting early. those of you also in mourning might know where i’m coming from… as for the rest of you, lemme just throw it out there. two of my favorite tv shows are coming to [...]

Hey, Effers, it’s been a while. Hope everyone is doing well. I haven’t posted in a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been listening to music. Like I’ve told you before, the music is always on in my world. I’m sure most of you have a favorite shirt, right? In fact, you’ve [...]

See, the past ten years have been rather remarkable ones, musically speaking. Say what you will about the decade itself; a [...]
10) PJ Harvey – Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000) Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, Polly Jean Harvey’s “New York” album, is the most accessible record in her extraordinary catalog. In comparison to the melancholic and frenzied moods of her prior work, Stories could almost be considered light-hearted. It [...]

But that’s only part of the story; Mike Skinner does [...]
