Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 21 Oct., 2003. Review Written: 19 Feb., 2004. Esque It is a pestilence in music; a pandemic that has claimed the oeuvre of many a reviewer as it’s victim. Beatlesesque, Dylanesque, Zeppelinesque, Dexy’s Midnight Runnersesque. The suffix is tired and yet, occasionally, warranted. To put it plainly: everywhere. The harmonies are tight, but still loose enough to feel conceived at the moment of the take. In fact, Mercer’s singing in gen...Poste...

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 25 May, 2004. Review Written: 4 Jul., 2004. I’m 20 years old. In roughly a month I will be 21. Those numbers are staring me in the face and saying, Michael, it’s time to grow up. Growing up, or at least growing older, is a fact of life and it has to be dealt with in one way or another. How one deals with growing older correlates directly with one’s growing up. Posted by Michael K. at 5:25 PM. View my complete profile. Music Reviews, A-Z.

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 6 May., 2003. Review Written: 2 Mar., 2004. It should always be remembered that, without music, a song is merely a poem. And The Decemberists seem to heed this important bit knowledge. The band keeps most of the songs interesting with some extremely fine playing. On the only true up-tempo rocker on the album, July, July! Posted by Michael K. at 5:11 PM. View my complete profile. So Much for the City The Thrills. Music Reviews, A-Z.

Music. Et Cetera.: January 2005
http://musicetcetera.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Sleeping Is Giving In. Sunday, January 16, 2005. Great American Music Hall. The only plausible answer I can come up with is luck. The question being, of course, "How did you score tickets, at face value, for the Arcade Fire show at the Great American Music Hall? Next up was FInal Fantasy - a young man by the name of Owen who played violin and sang. It was.really.great. Really. Aside from the unfortunate video game evoking name, Final Fantasy was a lot of fun. Owen's (I forget his ...I feel like such a po...

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Release Date: 10 Feb., 1998. Review Written: 24 Feb., 2004. I love to read the reviews on Amazon. The bad reviews, in particular. There can be great enlightenment in looking at the 1-star reviews of Ok Computer, Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, and the like. Do we like this music because it is truly great or do we like it because someone else tells us it is truly great? MR P N ABBEY from the UK. The so...

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 24 Sep., 1991. Review Written: Feb. 10, 2004. To me, these are rock star posturings. Even Kid Rock throws up the bird inside his liner notes (granted Nirvana definitely beat him to the punch.) And yes, Kurt, we get the metaphor on the cover: chasing the Mighty Dollar will only drown you AND if you happen to reach it, you’re sure to be placed in a net, gutted, and fried. The baby was a nice touch. Posted by Michael K. at 5:20 PM.

Sleeping Is Giving In. Sunday, June 05, 2005. When July 5th rolls around. Buy the new Sufjan Stevens album,. Come On, Feel the Illinoise! Whatever: some variant on the word "Illinois.") Easily the best album of the year thus far. How do I know this? Posted by Michael K. at 12:45 AM. Hot News From The Automotive Lending Industry! InterFinancial Holdings, Corp (IFLH).
