Someone in Marketing Thinks I Like Hip Hop or Rap or Whatever It?s Called
2007-12-20 16:50:00 Apparently I?m old, stiff, and have trouble ?navigating the culture and spotting trends,? but a marketing person from Complex the magazine culled my name from a database anyway. The magazine says it?s ?A Marck Ecko Production? and claims to be ?the #1 cultural navigator and trendspotter for young men.” This month?s issue features Lil Wayne ... More About: Marketing , Some

2007-12-18 16:43:00 A couple weeks ago, my son and I made it down to Shirk’s studio for his second “concert.” While not as physically appealing as The Gore Gore Girls, Teddy was still in for a treat with Chapel Hill’s The Spider Bags .

The Snake, The Cross, The Crown - Cotton Teeth
2007-12-17 17:14:00 The Snake The Cross The Crown is one of those bands that I’ve been listening to for nearly the entire year, yet haven’t written a single word about them.

Plants and Animals - with/Avec EP, SXSW 2008?
2007-12-07 16:30:00 I recently picked up the excellent debut EP by Montreal’s Plants and Animals . It’s a short record, but each of the four songs feels epic in nature. “Faerie Dance” stars off so slow that it lulls you to sleep for the first two and half minutes before slowly building with some heavy-handed piano and strings over ...

There ain?t nothing wrong with Cracker, cracker-ass cracker!
2007-12-05 16:43:00 Cracker played a big part in shaping my musical tastes. Camper Van Beethoven was a bit before my time, but Cracker’s 1993 release Kerosene Hat introduced me to the discography of both bands. Part punk, rock, country, alternative, ska…anything else? Pretty much anything I listen to these days has a little bit of ... More About: Wrong , Cracker
Jason Moran is Contemporary, Not Modern
2007-12-04 16:33:00 So, as it turns out, writing for a website is exceedingly difficult without access to the internet. Over the past few days I’ve been unable to connect to the wifi provided by my lovely upstairs neighbor “Mallory.” Whether this is because she actually found out I was “borrowing” it or its actually broken, ...

2007-11-30 16:48:00 Hi. I?m Drinking Buddy. I don?t encourage drinking among minors nor those with chronic heart disease or herpes, but sometimes I talk about drinking in my posts. One thing I don?t typically drink is wine, but apparently there?s this thing called ?wine pairings? where a snooty waiter tricks you into buying the most expensive bottle ...

The 1900?s - Cold and Kind
2007-11-26 16:31:00 I owe the 1900’s an apology. I almost didn’t give them a chance because my first glance at the band name had me thinking it was a new release by an underwhelming band called the 1990s. Overlooking Cold and Kind would have been a huge mistake. This chamber-pop septet delivers a wonderful debut album on ...
