I like books. In an effort to learn more and find new stuff to listen to, I’m going to read more books about music. Someone once said “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,” which I don’t completely agree with, but see the humor in. Hence the title of this new thing I’ll [...]

New for Saturday: Jookabox
by Katie
Once, I ended up at a party where a bunch of guys were playing banjos with violin bows and there was a looped recording of, I think, an old man moaning and talking gibberish. “You Cry Me” is like that, but fun. And Jookabox make some of the most morbidly [...]

I’m Ashamed To Admit
by Katie
If I had heard this song without seeing the video, and if the song weren’t about two minutes too long, I might almost be into it.

The Hottest Olympian
by Katie
Let’s get objectifyin’! It’s the most fun thing about the Olympics (after the biathlon! Skiing! Shooting! USA! USA!).
Sidney Crosby looks like he’s been hit in the head a few too many times (an unsurprising consequence of being drafted to the NHL at 18) but sweet Jesus. He is a-do-ra-ble, and basically a hockey prodigy.
He’s [...]

SO EXCITED
by Katie
You can thank me later for not using “snow” as a pun for the 10,000th time this week. Luckily, the Bolt Buses will be up and running again tomorrow, and then I will be here:
Come stalk me! (Unless you’re a creeeeeeeper.) I’ll be the one hobo drifting around. Here are some songs to creep [...]

If You Like Josh Ritter and Irony
by Katie
Josh Ritter just announced an upcoming album and tour. Liz likes him because he runs marathons. I like him because of that song, “To the Dogs or Whoever.”
I also like irony. Thus, I am gonna post y’all this song, “Snow is Gone.”
(If you don’t get it, check the DC weather [...]

The Time I Heard, but Managed To Not See Britt Daniel Play
by Michael.
So as most of you do not know, I love Spoon. I am not positive why none of their songs didn’t make it onto my Desert Island Tracks, but I was probably freaked out on stupid pills. As such, I was rather excited when I heard they had a new album coming out (see [...]

Wikipedia is the Encyclopedia OF THE GODS
by Katie
Mikey and I had one of our trademark Pointless, Psuedo-Philosophical Conversations (PPCs) today, because I asked him if wool was vegan. (It isn’t.) Then I wanted to know how vegans keep warm and stylish, seeing as they can’t wear leather, wool, fur, or silk. This lead to wondering if radical, anti-consumption eco-vegans would buy [...]

A Year In This Blog
by Katie
This blog turned 1 year old on October 7th, and we didn’t realize until around the 22nd. So I’m just going to pretend we’re 1 year old RIGHT NOW (the way birthdays work, we still are, although most people count babies under about 3 by month, for some reason), since this was the first [...]
