Friday Random Ten

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

This is one of those great memes that I rarely do for some reason. Here’s my Friday Random Ten songs (put shuffle on the mp3 player, first ten songs, no skipping): Listen on Rhapsody White Stripes – Hotel Yorba Ben Folds – All U Can Eat Joni Mitchell – My Old Man Orchestra Baobab – [...]

New Music Saturday

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

Just went to Tower Records and picked up some great new CDs. Some of these I’ve been listening to for a while on Rhapsody but I just needed to get them in a physical, high quality medium. Matisyahu – Live At Stubb’s – Everyone’s favorite Hassidic reggae rapper. Feist – Let It Die – I’ve [...]

Feisty

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

With the release of their high quality (well, 96k) stream, I’ve been listening to XPN, the best FM music station in Philadelphia, and my once former place of employ, quite a bit more. The station dropped the pretense of being commercial free a few years ago but the few commercials you do hear are fairly [...]

Live 8 schedule

Friday, July 1st, 2005

From my secret sources in AOL land, a partial broadcast schedule for Live 8. This doesn’t include all the acts but at least it gives you a partial idea. 12:14 – Black Eyed Peas 12:33 – Bon Jovi 1:00 – Destiny’s Child 1:16 – Kanye West 1:30 – Will Smith 1:56 – Toby Keith 2:13 [...]

Neat Stuff

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

It’s been a while since I did a round of cool and interesting links, so I though I’d throw some stuff out there for y’all. Kos found a great flash applet, courtesy of Arlington, VA’s Newseum, an interactive news museum dedicated to helping the public and media interact and study the ever-valuable and under attack [...]

I love NPR

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

And so do local Jersey power poppers Fountains of Wayne apparently. Their just released album, Out-Of-State Plates oddly begins with a clip from Terry Gross’s introduction of Ken Tucker‘s review of one of their past albums from Fresh Air. I interned for WXPN for a year as a production assistant for Live at the World [...]

Bonnaroo ’05

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

I don’t know when I’m gonna have the time to get caught up on posting (and the thousands of posts on my Bloglines I haven’t read) but I thought I’d take a moment to praise this year’s Bonnaroo event. Bonnaroo is an annual music festival that takes place on a 600 acre farm in Manchester, [...]

On The Road Again

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

I’m currently in the car on my way to Bonnaroo. I may or may not try and post from my phone again over the course of the weekend so things will most likely be quiet here for a few days. Have a great weekend.

NoLib In All Its Glory

Monday, June 6th, 2005

First of all, great weekend. There was a festival in the Northern Liberties with art, crafts, music, and beer. Artists opened their studios, Art Star Gallery had a craft and art bazaar (where I picked up a cellphone/iPod cozie and some glass plugs), and the night ended with bands, including Kenn Kweder, and Yards beer [...]

This playlist was randomly generated by Rhapsody based on my “recent listening history”: Procul Harum – Simple Sister* Joshua Redman – Molten Soul Joe Henderson – Boto Faust – Picnic On A Frozen River, Deuxieme Tableux Joe Lovano Nonet – [...]
