This Twilight Garden: May 2005

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Friday, May 27, 2005. Welcome to the Layer Cake, son. If you like modern British gangster flicks, you'll definitely enjoy. Brilliant film. It's the standard "cocaine dealer has made enough money and now wants to get out but keeps getting pulled back in" movie, but is filled with enough plot twists to make it engaging. Much like. Is a more serious film than. Is in it - sadly, for only about 5 minutes, but they were. Posted by Christopher at 8:34 AM. The hard, muscular.

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-favorites-of-2013.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Tuesday, March 04, 2014. My Favorites of 2013. Yet again, due to a lack of time or attentiveness or the fact that there is just so much new music out there, I really cannot put together a Top 10 list of my favorite albums / songs for 2013. So I'll just list a lot of the new stuff and old favorites that I've been listening to this year:. Flight Facilities' "I Didn't Believe" - possibly my favorite new song from 2013. The perfect modern disco track! A lot this year.).

This Twilight Garden: My Top 10 For 2010

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2010/12/my-top-10-for-2010.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Friday, December 03, 2010. My Top 10 For 2010. Although my blogging is non-existent these days, I still think I have good musical tastes - so hear you go, dear public, my Top 10 for 2010:. Sun Bronzed Greek Gods. DOM's music just makes you want to get up and move. Indie rock backed with swirling synths. "Living in America" is vying for my song of the year. A shame that this EP only has 19 minutes worth of music though! 8 Tears Run Rings. 4 New Young Pony Club. Less el...

Musical adventures in New York City. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. My Top 10 for 2011. My Top 10 of 2011 - a/k/a my once yearly posting! And it's oh so late! 10 Cut Copy - Zonoscope.

This Twilight Garden: Favorites of 2014

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2014/12/favorites-of-2014.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Although no album struck me as super-fantastic, there were a number of great tracks in 2014. In no particular order (well, the first few are my actual favorites):. The Knocks - "Classic" (how could you not dance to this song! Pomo - "Start Again" (basically Summer in music form). Snakehips - "Days With You" (anything that features Sinead Harnett on vocals is great, but this track is particularly fantastic). Caribou - "Can't Do Without You".

Musical adventures in New York City. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Now that 2005 is halfway finished, I'll throw out my top five albums for the first part of the year:. 1 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (clearly my favorite album this year). 2 Kasabian - Kasabian (I bought this in 2004, but it was released stateside in 2005). 3 Doves - Some Cities (a nice combination of their first two albums). 4 Gorillaz - Demon Days (hearing Shaun Ryder rant incoherently is a wonderful thing).

This Twilight Garden: July 2005

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Sunday, July 31, 2005. I recently picked up Editors'. Are especially strong ("Bullets," "Munich" - tied for my favorite song of the year - and "Blood"), and the rest of the album does not disappoint - mixing slower ballad-esque songs with post-punk rock (check out that foot stomping chorus on "Fingers in the Factories"). The copy of. I bought came with. Looking forward to a US appearance from these guys. Let Your Good Heart Lead You Home. Crawl Down the Wall. In the E...

This Twilight Garden: Britpop - 20 years old and still kickin'

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/britpop-20-years-old-and-still-kickin.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Monday, November 25, 2013. Britpop - 20 years old and still kickin'. There are differing opinions on when "Britpop" (the genre, movement, and/or way of life) started. Some go with 1991, following the releases of Primal Scream's. Others go with 1993, after the release and subsequent Mercury Music Prize win for Suede's self-titled debut. (I think everyone agrees that Britpop's demise was the release and backlash against Oasis'. Posted by Christopher at 1:51 PM.

This Twilight Garden: December 2004

http://thistwilightgarden.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html

Musical adventures in New York City. Sunday, December 19, 2004. It was my turn at the Knitting Factory. Here I am, doing my thing at the Knitting Factory. Pretty good crowd there for a Sunday night. I had the indie rock kids dancing to, among others, Pulp, The Rapture, Ladytron, Moving Units, The Bravery, the Happy Mondays, and the rarely heard "Groovy Train" by The Farm. Is this up-beat music for downtown kids? I think my brother needs a haircut. Posted by Christopher at 7:21 PM. You can hear it here.
