There is this miracle that occurs in music in which a song can simultaneously make you feel sad and wonderful at the same time, miraculously crossing your brain synapses. In my opinion a couple of the masters of this are Dinosaur Jr., and of course, Built to Spill.

Humanity is just a micron on a spec of shit hurtling through infinite darkness, so next time you go to work think of that. That will put that status report that you owe your boss by the end of the week in perspective. Life's a bitch, then you die. So enjoy yourself a little bit.

Caught this on carles.buzz which was formerly known as Hipster Runoff. It's still not totally clear if this guy is sane but I do enjoy some of the music he leads to me so he can't be that bad of a guy. You're okay with me Carles.

Oh yeah, how could I forget about this stone cold motherfucking groove. This is cooler than the otherside of the pillow. If this song was a highschooler, you'd never get invited to her party's when her mom went out of town and her step-dad Larry let her do whatever she wanted. As if!

Man, this sound is such a time machine for me. It flashes me right back to when I first moved to Brooklyn in 2006, living in squalor and surviving off rice and beans and Ballantine 40s. No AC during the day and sneaking into live shows at night without a care in the world.

Believe it or not but our current playlist excludes all the songs from our first version of Left as Rain -- about 550 song. Yesterday I was reminded of an old friend of a band, The Long Winters, whom had an all star of a track (Fire Island, AK) on our first iteration of the site. Now that we're reacquainted with The Long Winters do yourself a favor and listen to their Song Exploder regarding this track.

And here's the next addition to my next movie soundtrack. It's most like from the scene where I'm spying on an Italian bombshell undercover agent named Rossella, onlooking through the palm fronds on the Riviera. This seductress thinks she has my number, but oh no, I have hers. Also, go check out the rest of this guys album art. It's heavily influenced by illustrations of the 50s, and therefor amazing.

Adam Bainbridge is such a great musician. His music feels so inspired and from the heart that I may just cry a little cry. And watch out ladies, he's got long hair, writes his own music, has a British accent and speaks French apparently. Fuck, we may have to take this bastard down.

I've finally emerged from the bathroom. I've had a stomach flu for the last 2 days. There were periods where death was most certainly imminent but I have triumphed over the nasty illness. I wish this sickness upon no one- not even my worst enemy... not even Sarah Palin.
