2010 Album Releases I’m Looking Forward To

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Instead of looking back at 2009 on New Years Eve, I’m going to look forward to 2010. These are the album releases (whether the release date is set in stone or only rumored) that I’m looking forward to.
Radiohead
No album name or release date as of yet but it does seem likely that a new Radiohead [...]

Stereogum’s 50 Most Downloaded MP3s Of 2009

Stereogum's 50 Most Downloaded MP3s Of 2009

The purest year-end music list would be a playcount of the tunes you listened to most, and not the carefully sculpted, self-consciously eclectic 1-10s we end up reading. We know you’re as sick as we are of parsing critics’ picks, so here’s at least one countdown where you won’t find Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, or Dirty Projectors in the Top 10. That’s because the following fifty songs are ranked via the number of times someone clicked and downloaded them from our servers, and nothing else. It’s a list that finds Julian Plenti feeling pretty good about himself. Same goes for Rain Machine, Asobi Seksu, Handsome Furs, and our CMJ lineup. Of course, only you can tell us how many times you actually played the tunes after they left our nest.

“I Saw Her Standing There” – The Beatles

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

This is my 6th entry in my continuing series on each of The Beatles 186 original songs released from 1962 through 1970. This song, “I Saw Her Standing There,” is my favorite of them thus far.
It’s a great song, but even if it weren’t a great song it would be notable for being the [...]

Live Blog: Gov’t Mule @ The Beacon Theatre 12/30/09

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

This is my first try at live-blogging from the Beacon, and my first try with this phone. If things don’t go perfectly, please accept my apologies in advance.

During the course of the evening I will do my best to update the setlist (including the VIP Soundcheck at 5:00PM). The blogging client I’m using on my phone seems to crash every time I try to include a picture, so I’m not hopeful that I’ll be able to include any during the show. When I get home (I live close to the venue) I’ll be sure to update this post to include some photos.

4:57pm – waiting in lobby while they do the real soundcheck…

5:14 – VIP Soundcheck Setlist
Warren has specifically said “bad karma will fall on anyone who leaks what we play now on the Internet”. And I don’t need any bad karma, so I’m respecting his wishes.

6:00pm stage dark

6:30pm @ Starbucks keeping warm, waiting for friends to arrive. The VIP soundcheck was interesting – it seemed to be an actual soundcheck, not a “mini-set” of pre-determened songs, which is what a lot of folks thought it would be.

8:07pm in the Beacon again, security decided to push the border of inappropriate on the way in

Seven 2009 Albums To Check Out

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I haven’t heard every album released in 2009 (not by a long shot) so I think it’d be a bit presumptuous to claim these seven albums to be the best albums of the year, instead these are just seven albums released in 2009 that I’ve enjoyed and that I think you may enjoy as well. [...]

The 10 Most NSFW Music Videos Of 2009

The 10 Most NSFW Music Videos Of 2009

Why all the nudity in 2009? Well, look at this way: The affordability of video production technology has made it easier for everybody to get in the game; the unceremonious death of music television has shifted the means of music video distribution to the internet, where it’s less about FCC than about NSFW; and let’s face it, blogger hit counts love no four letters more than NSFW. More than ever, video directors and bands are cutting through the iMovie inundation by setting their songs to a bunch of extras parading their giggly bits. (Occasionally the artists themselves are baring more than just their souls, too.) To memorialize the year in NSFW, here are ten of the most prurient sets of moving pixels we’ve seen all year. Any other week we’d say you shouldn’t watch this at your cubicle, but you deserve a reward for even being at work this week, so go nuts! Lots of nuts here.

The Top Ten Albums of 2009 According to Radiohead Fans

Monday, December 28th, 2009

A top 150 albums of 2009 list has been voted on (and then compiled) at what I believe is the biggest Radiohead fan forum on the internet.
As a big Radiohead fan (and a member of that forum, although I didn’t take part in this vote as I’m not much of a regular because the [...]
