Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Wednesday, June 21, 2006. It'd be easier to post these things if my eMusic subscription was billed at the beginning of the month; as it is, my downloads (90/month) refresh halfway through each month, so I get a glut of downloads on, say, the 12th and 13th, and then practically nothing for the next half-month. Anyhow, here's the new music (or some of it) for the last month. The Black Heart Procession: Spell. Cathedral: The Carnival Bizarre. ...

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Thursday, February 16, 2006. New music this last month. For Christmas my folks got both my brother and I a Sirius satellite unit and subscription. I had long avoided the service myself, not only because of the monthly fee (which isn't exorbitant, but IS just one more thing to pay every month) but also because I was afraid of what it would do to my music selection- more exposure means more to collect. Dido: Life for Rent. Cat Power: The Greatest.

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Monday, November 28, 2005. I think I'd like to continue putting my micro reviews and thoughts of music. I also don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of any particular type of music, as my process of music discovery has been intuitional and fungal, spreading from one adjacent surface to another, perhaps without any overarching guiding purpose except to continue the hunt for more and more wonderful music.

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Friday, November 25, 2005. Just Another Diamond Day. Bottom line: I'm quite glad I have both albums, though I find Lookaftering. A bit more accessible, as it feels more like a cohesive record than a collection of invaluable time capsules. Perhaps as I play the newer album more I'll be better able to appreciate the old- if Vashti Banyan has proven anything, it's that music can, like wine, grow more flavorful with age.

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Monday, November 28, 2005. Birds Make Good Neighbors. There are plenty of hooks in this album, which is why I can't get the songs out of my head. And perhaps it's a bit too much to say that a "heap of gloom," as the record doesn't really strongarm me into a melancholic mood, and doesn't quite have the pathos of an Interpol or Arcade Fire record- it sits somewhere just above Antics. So while it retains its sadness, Birds. Comments: Post a Comment.

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Saturday, November 19, 2005. The FCC hasn't yet rolled back the HDTV deadline, which is still set at December 31, 2006. What this means is that broadcasters are going to have to provide all-digital television broadcasts by the end of next year. Even though more and more stations are offering HD content I can't see the changeover being completed by then- possibly at the end of 2007 or 2008, but not by the end of 2006.

Technology, games, faith, music, weird news, peculiar humor. Wednesday, March 15, 2006. Kelley Polar - Love Songs of the Hanging Gardens. My Swans obsession reasserted itself in the new music selections this month, which included:. Jarboe: Thirteen Masks (Fantastic). Jarboe: Beautiful People, Ltd. (Marvelous and different [what could one expect? But it wears a bit toward the end of the album when one gets to the mix tracks). Jarboe: Anhedoniac (Haven't listened yet).
