Picasso Blue: regarding growing up.

http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/2011/11/regarding-growing-up.html

Monday, November 7, 2011. Picasso Blue is on indefinite hiatus. Like some of my favorite bands, I don't want to put a period at the end of it, but I do know that I can't maintain it with the same energy I've put in over the last three years. My reasons for shutting down shop are as follows:. 1 I started this blog when I was an unemployed recent college grad. Now I have a full-time job and responsibilities. I'm still a huge music fan, but I have other concerns now. Is going to outlast Picasso Blue. Bu...

http://cropulis.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

In the Wake of Poseidon. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Many people blog about what would be on their desert island list of albums to take.

So here it is, a top ten if you will of Desert Island Discs, Cropulis. Style No particular order. 1 The Who Live at Leeds. Maybe for variety or maybe because Live at Leeds. Was my assistant kee...

Picasso Blue: Banner Pilot - 'Heart Beats Pacific'

http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/2011/10/banner-pilot-heart-beats-pacific.html

Monday, October 24, 2011. Banner Pilot - 'Heart Beats Pacific'. With the breakout success of their 2009 effort, Collapser. Minnesotan act Banner Pilot. Has a lot riding on LP #3. Like their labelmates the Flatliners, the band seems poised for bigger things. These expectations make the group’s follow-up to Collapser. So good. I mean, have you heard that record? It made me choose life. By the band’s own admission, Pacific. Is a safe move. It takes everything Collapser. Who’s with me? A Man of Letters.

Picasso Blue: myPod: Ga-Gi

http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/2011/10/mypod-ga-gi.html

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. MyPod is a biweekly attempt to edit down my CD collection as I import my music on to my brand new 160 GB iPod.]. In retrospect, Tom Gabel’s 2009 solo EP Heart Burns. Was an indicator that maybe the Against Me! Frontman was maybe losing his judgment of what did and did not sound good in the studio. I’m not even talking about the tunes; all seven tracks on Burns. Really takes off as a great Billy Bragg/Bruce Springsteen-indebted politi-punk work. Sell Scratch My Back. Quite a lot...

Picasso Blue: September 2011

http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Regarding the passage of time. Picasso Blue is on hiatus. I want to call it a sabbatical because I think that word sounds better, but I won't be away for that long. Turns out my house is ready to go, so my fiancee and I will be signing the lease tomorrow and thus begin the horrible experience of moving. I'll be back once I have Internet and everything is unpacked. I've got a special announcement to make too. Sunday, September 25, 2011. The lone downside to catching Plow Uni...

Picasso Blue: Deleted Scenes - 'Young People's Church of the Air'

Monday, October 17, 2011. Deleted Scenes - 'Young People's Church of the Air'. With their jittery dance rhythms, Washington, D.C.’s Deleted Scenes. Recall classic punk acts like XTC and Talking Heads. In application, they recall local heroes like Dismemberment Plan and even contemporary dance outfit High Places. A handful of their songs even recall early Arcade Fire. Pick whichever comparison gets you to start listening. The group’s new album, Young People’s Church of the Air. View my complete profile.
