I Went To Melbourne and Returned With A Charles Blackman...

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted July, 28th 2008

Any trip to Melbourne is a good one. It's a great city, full of an indefinable spirit and energy. A certain class and a great deal of beauty. But a trip with a loved one is even better. A chance to share all those great experiences is something wonderful, such as wonderful restaurants, art galleries, markets and the great game of Australian Football. An unexpected delight of our trip was the surprise purchase of a Charles Blackman etching. This...

Dissecting the 'Watchmen' trailer (link)

From Cable and Tweed, Posted July, 28th 2008

Do you know what's absolutely incredible? The trailer for next March's Watchmen film, conveniently showing before The Dark Knight, has sparked a huge amount of interest in the source material. So much that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' masterwork from 1986 shot up to #2 on the Amazon sales chart (as I write this it's #3). Publisher DC Comics has gone so far as to print 200,000 new copies to meet demand. I'm among the number...

The Good, The Bad, and the Tim McGraw

From Covert Curiosity, Posted July, 28th 2008

There will be some who say that this is Conor Oberst?s best album, that his most recent self-titled record is a healthy evolution into more adult song writing?I am not one of those people. All of the songs on the album seem to fall into three categories: his old stuff (good), his Bob Dylan stuff (bad), and his country pop (worse).The first song, ?Cape Canaveral?, is of the Bob Dylan variety. This and the other songs like it...

Friendly Fires Tonight at Mercury Lounge

From Sound Bites, Posted July, 28th 2008

One of the best undernoticed singles of last year was "Paris" by UK dance-rock act Friendly Fires. It's one of these young love, "us against the world" romantic epics but the arrangement and production is just perfect, big and sprawling......

From Cubik Musik, Posted July, 28th 2008

Back in August '05 I posted the original of this tune and I gotta say that Dan Black does a pretty interesting job on covering this classic. Born in London but based in Paris Dan Black is unsigned and has......

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted July, 28th 2008
