Beats for Your Face (Or Lack Thereof)

December 10, 2008 – 10:30 am
So much for chilly temperatures and pretty powdery coatings…All of a sudden it’s a balmy 60 degrees outside with intermittent rain and it’s windy as a sonovabitch! So, what sort of soundtrack does a grey-skied, puddle-packed, wind-blown Wednesday deserve? I’m thinking something moody and changeable, that suits the days’ melancholy caste but still […]

It’s a new day, and a better day is comin’.

November 19, 2007 – 11:58 am
This Summer I publicized my love for bands featuring both girls and keyboards in a post about New York-based duo Misha. I revisited that theme more recently when I posted about Brooklyn’s all-girl keyboard band Au Revior Simone and discribed the promo-photo (which showed them from the neck down, clutching synthesizers to their bosoms) that […]
