| What Goes Around: Links for June 24 – July 3 | July 3, 2012 |
Links compiled by Max Bell. Inspiration via Grand Puba. People Like Lists (So Meta): http://www.complex.com/music/2012/06/the-50-best-albums-of-2012-so-far/ In which Complex continues to suck us in with their lists, surely disappointing some and vindicating others, giving Ross the #1 spot and listing albums that have yet to be released. #AnotherComplexList http://potholesinmyblog.com/best-albums-of-2012-so-far/4/ In which Potholes offers a brief counter […]
| Kutmah and Other Short Cuts | July 16, 2010 |
Sooner or later, I’ll set up a Tumblr account to link to everything I write elsewhere. I will also post old videos from Da Youngsta’s to create a bizarre cognitive dissonance. THEY CANNOT BE DA YOUNGSTA’S IF THEY ARE OLD. While a superficial impression may seem like I promote all of my extracurricular writing activities, […]
| Tunnnel Vision | July 15, 2010 |
I don’t normally fuck with Marc Ecko lifestyle publications prone to cheap page click ploys and treatises on the merits of “suede bucks.” However, Cipha Sounds list of the “Top 75 Tunnel Bangers” is essential reading, despite having the most pause-worthy title of any litany this side of Ted Haggard. A paean to the glory […]
| Soul Summer | June 9, 2009 |
Summer Jamz continue today, and should be running regularly throughout the remainder of the month. However, I’d like to point your attention to the Oliver Wang curated (and predictably excellent) Soul Summer series, currently running up at SoulSummer.blogspot.com. As Oliver said: “in the weeks to come, anticipate contributions from everyone from music historians Lauren Onkey […]
| Chopping Down the Cherry Tree And Other Links | December 3, 2007 |
Blogger/musician/jai alai champion/renaissance man, Douglas “Fresh Cherries From Yakima” Martin asked me to contribute a post to his on-going December List-Season Entries. The topic: 10 Things I Hate About Fresh Cherries From Yakima. It includes a discussion of Jordan Knight, the City of Yakima and Boy Bands in general. I can’t promise that it’s good, […]
| Friday I’m in Links | October 5, 2007 |
It’s Friday and with it, some links that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while. Good times. Today’s links are presented to you by Robert Smith of the Cure because the kids on South Park once declared that Disintegration is the best album ever. While I don’t necessarily agree, I’m not about to […]
| Micromixes: Way Better Than Micro Machines (Yet Not as Good as RC Pro-Am) | September 25, 2007 |
So I finally got around to compiling a Micromix for the Deerhunter blog. I planned on having it done weeks ago, but in the words of Cheech Marin watching the ghost-Titanic in Ghostbusters 2: better late than never. The mix consists of a bunch of second Golden Age era-cuts, most of which you guys probably […]
| The Mystery of Shadowblogging | August 1, 2007 |
So Kevin Murphy, the esteemed raconteur behind So Much Silence has allowed me to take part in his “I Used to Love H.E.R,” series, mainly because I promised to call him an “esteemed raconteur” in print if he’d let me write an entry. Of course, it was all an elaborate ruse. Blogs don’t count as […]
