Long Enough to Not Forget

I almost forgot how to do this. Wake up, pop on a record, sit back and enjoy. It has been long enough to leave (sorry to rip that off so badly but, it has been a while since my last post). If you're still out there, I thank you. I'm still listening and thinking about posting. Here is a post that I hope will get me back into the swing of things. Super sweet garage pop can work wonders. Give it a spin, you'll thank me.

Hello There

Great effing record! I can thank the love of my life for introducing me to this band all of those years ago. Now our kid knows the lyrics to Skyway (btw he's 2).

Junior Murvin to the Rescue

Roots train chucking down the track. This disc has been sitting atop the table all week. Spun it again this morning. Been too busy with life and things to pick a new record. No worries, it is a happy problem. This record will never get old. Happy Sunday.

Too Big to Fail

13 years of longing now done! Guts of Unwound have home and teamed up again, forming what might very well be the best rock outfit out there! 2014 graced with the force of Loose Power.

I caught the show at the Hemlock, bought the record, and it hasn't left the rotation yet! Spun it today as a means to shatter my way back into the blogosphere.

eff yeah!

Sunday Morning's Best Bad Timing

You ready to chill? Soft pants and a cup of coffee on the couch.
Sunday morning's best bad timing is back!

Psychedelic Poly-Rhythm Freakout

Motivational sounds for day 9 in the studio. Good morning! Just passed the half way mark on a 16 day studio session. I'm in deep…

OFF! for Easter

Louder! Faster! Scarier! just like the sticker says.

Welcome back Jesus

Skip Steps One and Three

First Sunday of Spring: Skipping right into action with this high speed, tour of force, hot rocking epic that defines so much of what I think is cool. When I was a nascent party kid, joining rock bands and having a great time, someone once said to me, "if you don't want to suck, practice all of the time, you could be like Superchunk". Still practicing all of the time. I still want to be like Superchunk…

Life Beyond the Stars

Jonas Reinhardt's Ganymede. Active volcanos making life possible, very possible indeed. I hope so.

I hope so
I hope so

Sunday Morning Learning Curve

New to me (new) record, only three years old…

Kind of off my radar for a bit, Señor Malkmus is back center stage. With a new to everybody (new) record too. But, that one will have to be a different spin some other Sunday morning.

Mirror Traffic = 3 sided gem that goes back to those gold soundz. Haven't heard anything between this one and Pig Lib. Yup, the learning curve is back in full force with this heavy hitting musician. He hasn't stopped for a second. Unfortunately, it was I who stopped paying attention for the passed 11 years !!! Sorry sir. I'll catch up right quick…

Tweez by Slint

Still rad…

The Flight of Time

Time has flown, like the gull, into the sunset. Time, it flies forever. Grab what you have, hold who you love. Live like there is no other time other than that which you have in front of you. Living this journey via the grooves on this dated vinyl is a brief respit from the drama of the world today. Living this Sunday evening like it was the morning in a sun drenched vista with an endless horizon.

GASTR DEL SOL: CAMOUFLEUR

Welcome to outer space

Mother, Tell Your Children…

…all about this band:

From all the way across the pond, this record is one of the best things that happened to 1966. Keep the (psych blues rock) dream alive…

Christmas Time is (Still) Here

Sitting on the couch today, New Years Day, 2014, feels a lot like a Sunday. The heater is burning, keeping the room nice and toasty. Tea kettle is whistling, waiting to steep some leaf. Noses are sniffly, prime situation during the winter season. The tree is still present, and lit. I'll keep that one as long as possible. Love and happiness in 2014…
