Dan The Automator Presents 2K7

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Ask any of my friends, I hate basketball. I don’t like watching it and am absolutely horrible at the sport. Likewise, I’m not a big fan of video games. With that being said, I should by all means hate anything having to do with 2K Sports’ NBA 2K7. Fortunately I gravitate [...]

Look Out Oprah, It’s Comedy Central!

Friday, September 29th, 2006

The Peabody Awards, The Emmys and more…Hey kids, it’s not just fart jokes any more! (Fully realizing that the previous statement is about 9 years too late…but still…) One of my favorite moments this past year included visiting a taping of The Colbert Repor(t) and slapping hands with one Stephen Colbert as he made [...]

TV on the Radio “Return to Cookie Mountain”

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

What is most unsettling about Return to Cookie Mountain is its originality. When considering how much music is released in any given year it becomes dumbing as to how much of it is uninspired or generally lacking any real unique qualities. With that, just as the weight of this crashes down with full [...]

The People’s Peddler: A Few Words With Jim Noir

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Manchester-native Jim Noir’s recent solo release on Barsuk is the culmination of many great things. Ultimately what shines through however is Noir’s tremendous ability to excel while undoubtedly hiding within his music. Many examples within Tower of Love prove that Noir allows much of his lighthearted songs to take precedent over his individual [...]

Coming from a recent performance in Chicago’s Q101 studio, this Filter cover proves a pretty good reason to listen to “Take a Picture” again. Former Stone Temple Pilot Dan DeLeo lays down a pretty mean bottleneck solo which adds a nice touch to the once overplayed breakthrough song for Army of Anyone’s lead singer, [...]

Unknown Limelight: Menomena

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

When considering how much music is produced each year its funny when something from your past is reintroduced to you in an entirely different light. It is my belief that I stumbled into Menomena through my “Epitonic phase”…that being when I was completely enthralled with downloading free & legal music while at the same time [...]
