In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Monday, March 8, 2010. What would you do baby? Recently re-discovered this gem of a tv theme:. Don't laugh man, I'm fucking serious. Just close your eyes and try to de-contextualize it. Great changes. And you know who sings it? This really illustrates the difference between "pro ses" musicians and those with more expressive creativity. It's like Wallace Roney. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. TheWill Not Be Televised. I was just skimming the blogosphere (ick) and hit upon this hip hop/culture page. That managed to irk me in less than a minute by connecting the world "texture" of MIA to the fourth season of The Wire. Ok, kinda of a neat idea, but. Liberal Sheep "BAAAAA BAAAAA" ENOUGH of MIA and THE WIRE already! You know what's revolutionary. Not having a tv. Notes from ...

In This Game A Minute: Jungle Fever
http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2009/10/jungle-fever.html
In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Monday, October 26, 2009. I managed to get sneak out for a couple of hours last week to see the free afternoon shows for CMJ. The first and best band I saw was Stricken City. Whatever the source (dubious or not), this development adds an interesting wrinkle to the genre. Here are a few other bands (some obvious, some not) playing with that sound:. The So So Glos. Awesome, tasteless, perfect). Subscribe to: Po...

In This Game A Minute: Like the BRAND, not the BAND
http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2010/03/like-brand-not-band.html
In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Monday, March 1, 2010. Like the BRAND, not the BAND. Kinda old news, but people seem to be pretty unanimously in favor of the new Julian Cassablancas record. I don't really get the bru ha ha. To me, it has that Strokes-ian combination of vague cool and pervasive blandness. But what is appealing to me about the record is the accompanying promo campaign. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In This Game A Minute: Yup, Vampire Weekend
http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2008/03/yup-vampire-weekend.html
In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Friday, March 7, 2008. Yup, Vampire Weekend. My friend Alex Klein and I have been arguing about Vampire Weekend for about a year. He thinks they're great, I think they're overblown amateurs. But in an interesting development in our debate, Alex was a bit peeved by a recent NPR review. The reviewer emphasized the punk bit (did you listen to the audio version? Who are a hyped cambodian pop band using indie-rock...

In This Game A Minute: Dark and Bubblegum
http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-wave-props.html
In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. I found this great early 80's band (ok I'm on a kick) that I'd never heard of called Romeo Void. Judging from their sound, the band seems to have been around at the tail of the postpunk. Movement. You can hear traces of that style's staccato guitar rhythms (found in bands like Gang of Four. And Echo and the Bunnymen. And " A Girl in Trouble. One of the best examples of technique and...

In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Sunday, July 19, 2009. The Benefits of Extremity. On Thursday, I went to a show in Williamsburg to see the band of the regular Tuesday night bartender at Botanica (where I occasionally work as a DJ). The band is called Dead Stars, and the music was thoroughly enjoyable, 90's-style indie rock (check out "Break the Tide" on their myspace page. He was bookended onstage by a headband-wearing guitar player and a l...

In This Game A Minute: the Director of MIA's New Video
http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2010/04/director-of-mias-new-video.html
In This Game A Minute. A musician pontificates on cultural distractions and his delicate career. Thursday, April 29, 2010. The Director of MIA's New Video. In an apt confluence of agendas, MIA's new video is directed by relative unknown yet high concept video director Romaine Gavras. The video's explicit depiction of a US totalitarian regime huting down a very select minority group has garnered some controversy, but overall the video is not much more than a very clever narrative stunt. Artist, DJ Medhi:.
