Simpson, or Seaver?

October 6, 2008 – 10:30 am
This week could have proven one of the best weeks of 2008 for “Indie” music lovers. Two of my favorite groups, who happen to be a couple of the genre’s most consistently exciting and envelope-pushing bands, were scheduled to have new albums out Tuesday. And I was souped that even in a year […]

Records MP3s at Random, Vol. 69: Big Audio Dynamite Tighten Up, Vol. 88

Eff a Heat-Index, I Need a Beat-Index

June 10, 2008 – 12:00 pm
So those hundred-degree heat-indexes which were forecast across the eastern seaboard for this week were no joke after all. I learned as much Monday afternoon when I hit the streets to run a couple of errands and enjoy some outdoor activity accompanied by my own personal media player-spawned soundtrack.
