This is from the tour in support of 2004′s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”. Not my favorite album by any stretch of the imagination. I also saw this tour here in Seattle at Key Arena, and i had an awful time. I’ve been going to U2 shows since 1987 and they have all been either good or GREAT, but this one felt contrived, choreographed and pandering. I realize that the haters have been saying that about U2 for decades now, but in the case of this one show, it was true…

The whole record boils down to Neil, his guitar and 2 amps, yet is the heaviest thing i’ve heard in a long time…

Recently i’ve been thinking a lot about the past. I try hard to live in the present, with an eye to the future, but the past is the past and it haunts…
Lucky for me, Badly Drawn Boy has a new record, and i have a soundtrack to my thoughts!
In my last life, I was an Indie rocker…

It’s Fall 1997. The band that i’d spent the last year with split suddenly as the singer did what singers do, which is flake out and leave town. I was playing with another friend of mine, but that wasn’t feeling right to me musically, so I had to let him down and flake out on [...]

More years ago than I’d care to say, I was sitting with some friends watching actual music videos on MTV (that should tell you how long ago…). The Stone Roses came on with their video for “I Wanna Be Adored“, and all I could think was “What the fuck is this, and who do these [...]

Continuing from Part 1, this is a purge of useless, yet enjoyable knowledge that is my music biography collection… Elliott Smith & The Big Nothing is a must read. Again, we unfortunately know how the story ends, but this book helps us to understand why it ended the way it did. What more can I [...]

Yesterday i was browsing my own bookshelves, thinking about clearing some space and began reminiscing about some of my beloved music biographies. Before i clear out some space on my shelf, i thought i’d clear out some space in my brain and post a little something about each book… The most recently read of the [...]
