  • how I wish I was in sherbrooke now

    The version we used to listen to in high school; And the original from the man himself; Thanks, Jeff.

  • fall phish

    Phish is kicking off their Fall tour shortly and I’ve ordered tickets to the Amherst show on the 23rd of October. Since regrouping last year they’ve gone to this raffle format for the initial round of ticketing. It’s for people on their mailing list, or for people who are actively paying attention. You tell them […]

  • ratatat on drugs

    Here’s Ratatat’s new video for their track Drugs. It uses stock video footage and it’s creepy. I met a guy on our Alaska trip who was into stock photography and on the one hand it seemed great because he’d made some money to pay for more camera gear. But on the other hand, he spent […]

  • spanish joint

    Been a while since I shared the funk. We all remember the 2000 video for D’angelo’s hit track Untitled (How Does It Feel) but how many of us know that the rest of Voodoo is so john blazin? These were the early days in music downloading. Napster was in full effect and I was beginning […]

  • gravité et sonar

    Work’s been a little overwhelming lately so I’ve been trying to ignore the desire to find wonderful things online. But I did manage to rustle up these two gems that I really wanted to share. That reminds me vaguely of the ping pong track I mentioned before, done by a friend of a friend. Check […]

  • it’s a matter of convenience

    Holding off on this next music post has been tough. Why bother? Good question. I’m trying to keep it to one per week or less. I went on this rant about doing things my way earlier today though and now I’m putting senseless limits on myself. Stay tuned for the startling conclusion. I really can’t […]

  • typical

    And for my next hot pick, ladies and gentlemen, the Mute Math with their creatively strong video for Typical. A la OK Go, they’ve done a bit of the old ultra choreograph. The Brothers Warner tried to put the kibosh on embedding this video but you can’t stop the signal. Talk hard, all that. Boom, […]

  • more haam?

    While we’re having this conversation about music, I thought I would take the opportunity to shamelessly plug my alter ego DJ Haamphist. After a late night microKORG session with my buddy Jeff last winter, I thought maybe I’d pick one up as well. I ducked into my local music store to inquire and the guy […]

  • electricity

    This next tune is something I happened on by way of Anthony’s wedding two summers ago in the New version of York City.  We were at the reception and I was doing a sloppy job serving up music for people to get their dance on.  At one point I punished everyone with Ain’t No Fun […]

  • musicalidocious

    I used to do this thing in college where I would share a current jam I’d been liking on the very first incarnation of my website.  Long before there was toolie.dyns.com or beamychron, there was…. I don’t remember.  Something hosted by the RDub maybe?  I pledged my allegiance to Jamiroquai in a full page spread […]
