Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: February 2008
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 21, 2008. Treatise on Billy, part one of many. THIS POST NOW WITH ACTUAL THOUGHTS! I love the Smashing Pumpkins, and i'm not afraid or ashamed to say it. Four songs. It's hard to pick! There are over 400 Pumpkins songs! From Machina: The Machines of God. I pick this one because i just listened to it, and it echoed hard in my head tonight. The music behind this is urgent and all-encompassing, as his love envelops the whole world in song. Seriously. Set The Ray To Jerry. Musically, the s...

Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: Smith vs. Corgan, Round I
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008/04/smith-vs-corgan-round-i.html
Thursday, April 10, 2008. Smith vs. Corgan, Round I. People always say that when you're into a musician or band, you should go backwards and trace their influences. An alternate to that would be trace the web of collaborators, friends, etc. But as for the former, it's been proven to me, more or less. I would have never heard Neu! If I never read a shit-ton of books about Bowie. So thanks, Bowie. I'm going to totally steal this later on! That's pretty crazy. It proves that Billy was such a big Cure fa...

Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: Dexy's Midnight Runners
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008/04/dexys-midnight-runners.html
Sunday, April 20, 2008. Note: This post is really drippy, for which I apologize, so try to ignore my terrible "blog-tone," and just listen to the songs. They're still great. I love Dexy's. Without question. If anyone knows of them at all, then they would know them for Come On, Eileen. Well, that's fine. Come On, Eileen, despite it's popularity and ubiquitousness on one-hit wonder lists, it's a great song! They've got three albums:. Tell Me When My Light Turns Green. The second, Too-Rye-Aye, switches gear...

Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: Back of your head
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008/06/back-of-your-head.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. Back of your head. A quick note, because I know nothing about the album other than it exists, comes after Hard Nose, and is from the seventies. But what makes me smile a little every time is the fact that I subconsciously know every song on Van Morisson's Veedon Fleece without ever having put the album on. It's one of the albums that I've just heard my entire life, played from my parent's various stereos since I was born. Linden Arlen Stole the Highlights. Daily Dose of Garfield.

Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: March 2008
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2008. At some point recently I wanted to name an album something like "riding a rainbow" or something equally drippy yet descriptive of my feelings. Radiohead went and ruined it for everyone! I mean, not really. A) In Rainbows is better than anything I've done, and B) Riding a Rainbow is a shit title. But Radiohead isn't all roses, either. They've got great songs, great albums. BUT! What about the songs that people (who aren't already avid Radiohead fans) know about? Everyone said....

Thursday, January 31, 2008. Bowie Pt. 1. Okay, so I'm all about Bowie, yeah? But push comes to shove, I'll make a top 5. It was pretty hard, but I've done it, and I think the results are pretty groovy. I mean, as far as I'd use that word. They're all good, though. I mean, duh, it's Bowie. And I'm pretty nutty about Bowie. I actually purchased the Tin Machine albums! I didn't buy Never Let Me Down, though. I'm not that. Anyways, here's the list. in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:. 3 Can You Hear Me? Okay, so there's...

Thursday, July 24, 2008. This blog blows, thus you have to copy the image to your desktop to see the whole thing grr). A lot of people hate Garfield. I don't hate Garfield. I learned to read from Garfield! I have two favorite Garfield strips:. And this is my all-time favorite:. One was great, where Garfield gets lost in the nameless city he lives in:. This actually lasted an entire month! It had some surprisingly emotional moments, as Garfield ends up meeting his Mother:. But that's another story!

Brother, Oo-oo, Shake it up, shake it up.: August 2008
http://circlingskeleton.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 4, 2008. This feature at Pop Matters. It's about albums from established or semi-established artists who released totally bizarre (at the time or still) albums that alienated half their fanbase. Funnily enough (wow, funnily is apparently actually a word, thanks spellcheck), a lot of the albums they talk about A) I didn't know about B) are really good. So, sometime after finishing Ram, but before it was released, Paul had this wild idea:. What reading this article, and discovering Thrilling...
