A Self-Imposed Exile to the Radio Dial

January 19, 2009 – 10:30 am
If you took anything away from my post on The Notorious B.I.G. last Friday I hope it was about his legacy. The way he died was heartbreaking, and instrumental in cementing the association between rappers and violent deaths in the popular consciousness.

“Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign”

January 13, 2009 – 10:30 am
After spending the last weeks of 2008 compiling my year-end wrap-up here on Blogarhythms I dedicated the first week and change of 2009 to drafting the more exhaustive year-in-review me and some friends put together every year over at Imageyenation. That means the last month of my life has consisted largely of sifting through […]

And that can only mean one thing…that in today’s post I’m putting Blogarhythms on “shuffle” once again! Named after a song by postpunkelectrogoths New Order, the Paris-based Thieves Like Us are […]

A Many-Hued Existence

November 10, 2008 – 10:30 am
I get tons of e-mails every day from bands, musicians, singers, rappers, public relations firms and even other bloggers asking me to listen to “their” music. Only a tiny number of those e-mails contain links to music which is actually of some interest to me. And amongst that privileged minority only a paltry […]
