New Music Friday
Two projects from artists you know doing something slightly different than what you might expect. Matt Berninger is the lead singer of The National and is known for his dark lyrics. Brent Knopf is best known for being in the quirky, indie band Menomena. Two seemingly different artists come together to form the duo El […]
Get Out
If you’re in LA and you’re not at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend to see Danny Elfman well that’s about as sad as Jack Skellington trying to kidnap Santa Claus. In other words, just go. To whet your appetite, here is Danny in 2013 performing Jack’s Lament. Less than a mile away A Nightmare Before Christmas […]
Favorite Halloween Theme Music Videos that are not Thriller
No question, we all love Thriller but sometimes we need slightly different thrills to add to our Halloween enjoyment. Here are a dozen videos that make my body start to shiver. Because no no mere mortal can resist; the evil of the thriller. Nine Inch Nails “Closer” Rotating hanging bodies, pig heads on a stick. Creepy factor […]

It’s called Divers and Pitchfork has already declared it as “Best New Music” giving it an […]

Back To The Future Day
The most disturbing thing about Back To The Future 30 years later is that I relate more to Marty’s parents now than to Marty McFly. In 1985, 1955 seemed like such an innocent time. Now in 2015, 1985 seems like such an innocent time. I guess it’s safe to assume when we hit 2045, 2015 […]

It must be Fall as two downbeat songs caught my attention this week. Elliot Moss “Best Light” Reminds me of an upbeat James Blake however his vocal style is so relaxed he sounds like he can use a nap. This might have something to do with the lyrics. “I was tired and you were standing […]
