Breaking Upwards: Open Relationships Always Seem So Evolved
Oh good, yet another movie that’s going to make me want to blow my brains out. At least it’ll be funny.
Apocalypstick: I Think I’m in Love
Almie Rose of Apocalypstick There’s a blog I just discovered called Apocalypstick. It’s written by a smarty pants girl named Almie Rose. And here are the reasons why you should read it: Her letter to her future self The list of songs she cries to Her rant about a parking ticket and what neighborhood in [...]
A Fresh Supply of Heartache
I know what you think of Air Supply, but listen to these acoustic takes recorded at Graham Russell’s home studio in 2005. Just to give you a timeframe – both songs were written and recorded by the band over 30 years ago.

A Power Couple is like a Yuppie Version of Voltron
Power couples are basically what superheroes would be if they spent all their time lying around spacious apartments sharing copies of the New York Times and deliberating over where to get brunch. Whenever I see a power couple I always want them to stand on each others’ shoulders and meld into one super tall, well-dressed, [...]
Heavy Rotation / March 2010 / Kettering
Here’s a band I was just introduced to: The Antlers from Brooklyn, NY. Their album: Hospice—cheery, I know. But look past that for a second and listen to one song in particular. “Kettering” reads like a quiet letter to the past. The smell of smoke on a cool summer night. A porch of empty rocking [...]

Heavy Rotation / March 2010 / Los Feeling
Cueing up more music for spring… Next up: brand new London-based electro pop twosome VISITOR. If all the characters of The Neverending Story grew up and started a band, it would sound something like this. Huge synthesizers, big clean beats and soaring melodies. There’s a great write-up about them on ArjanWrites and a free download [...]
White is a Color
Photographer Unknown / 365Blanc 365Blanc is one of my favorite blogs. It is dedicated to the color white. The images are quiet, graceful and haunting.
Touching Home: The Real Story is How They Got It Made
Independent artists, take note: This is how you get things done. From Apple.com: When the Millers’ homeless father died alone in a jail cell, the twins vowed that their autobiographical film, Touching Home, would be made as a dedication to their love for him. Three months after their father’s death, the Miller brothers cornered four-time [...]

Peter Gabriel covers “Flume” by Bon Iver If you thought Bon Iver’s song “Flume” was sad the first time you heard it, you should hear Peter Gabriel sing it.

Heavy Rotation / March 2010 / Eye In the Sky
“The sun in your eyes Made some of the lies worth believing” This poor bastard. Little does he know he’s about to get his heart broken by a girl wearing a side pony and off-the-shoulder top. I made a playlist recently comprised entirely of late-70s/early-80s soft rock. Aside from it being the perfect soundtrack to [...]

2004 Burch Hall Reserve Syrah from Suncrest Vineyard: A Toast to My Future Self
Steve McQueen driving his Jaguar XK-SS / Photo courtesy of Petersen Automotive Museum I like wine, but I don’t feel like I’ve entered the wine stage of my life. The part where I drive a vintage Jaguar and spend my days doing soul-fulfilling philanthropic work. However, every so often I come across a wine that [...]
The Runaways: Girls Just Wanna Have Punk
I’d like to be the music expert who knows that The Runaways were one of the most influential girl bands of all time—but to be honest, when I saw this trailer, I was like, wait, Joan Jett was in a band with Lita Ford?? If the preview has anything to say about the film, this [...]
Kathryn Bigelow: The Sexiest Storyteller in Hollywood Captures Her Moment in History
She directed The Hurt Locker, Point Break AND a New Order video. So I guess my only question is: “Is Kathryn Bigelow single?” I can not tell you how happy I am that she won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture for what is clearly one of the greatest war films of all [...]

Heavy Rotation / March 2010 / Fortune
Ricky Tick / Airstream For every music scene in every generation, there are always a few bands with a few great songs that time will inevitably forget. For 90′s Brit rock, Airstream would be one of them. If you were a teenager living in Manchester in 1994, packed into a car on your way to [...]
Rogues Gallery: When the Preps Return from Battle
Loving these boat shoes by Rogues Gallery. And their Mud Green Canoe Moccasin. An unexpected blend of preppy and military standards. See more at Rogues Gallery >
