Jerry DeCicca (The Black Swans) Leak of “First Time”
What if I told you I possess a leaked track of Jerry DeCicca on vocals from a forthcoming project. I have no idea if this is the Black Swans or affiliated with La Société Expéditionnaire but it seems like a demo for a 2009 album. I like the electric southern blues direction of this. This...
Wilco proceeds with new 2009 album
Cover art just release for the album which is self-titled, along with a title track. The song is the only publicly performed on this record as heard on Colbert Report and played for some recent live shows. This could be a cover for a potential single? The tracklist came out too: Wilco (the song) Deeper...
2008 Top 5 Albums
I was going to do a Top 10 list, but I honestly don’t listen to that many albums to narrow down from a single year. Chances are I’ll discover numerous albums from 2008, but until then I’ll point out some that I ended up listening to . Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago Busting...
Mixtape: Too Much December
December was busy. Plenty going on, plenty to listen to, plenty of plenty. I didn’t capture much to mixtape this month, and it didn’t help that a good portion of the stuff I collected have no documentation other than rarer recordings or the are just too unestablished to have a music video or performance. I...

Mixtape: You’re Nothing Like All The Other Novembers
November was a jam-packed month. And December is surpassing the busyness. Well all is good here. This month by chance got invaded by upbeat songs from more recent times. Not much early blues and older-than-oldies that I sometimes get hung up on. Versus – “Eskimo” Think of the coolest musical catches and a spurt of...
The Walkmen vs Alicia Keys Mashup
I’ve always been fascinated with mashups. There are some wonderful songs that mix into an equal or better song than the original. There are also mash-ups that mix two already poor songs into a worse song. I attempted to contribute my remixing cents into the pot and I chose “No One” by Alicia Keys to...
Mixtape: Presently October
“Feel the Pain” by Dinosaur Jr. This live version has a painful introduction- It’s a bit scratchier than the studio version. The instrumental arrangements are so complimentary. The bass and guitar were born to play like this together. This song comes off of their lesser-known gem of an album Without a Sound. “Give Me Strength”...
Undiscovered Lyrics from the Basement Tapes
If you have your hands on the Basement Tapes bootleg, you will have a fragment of a song called “I’m Alright.” Below are the lyrics transcribed by me (most likely off a bit as Dylan is good at mumbling). Bob Dylan and the Band are playing here for about a minute. Possibly they ran out...
Google goes Search Wiki
Just when you thought Google was satisfied with search simplicity, it now has another way of mining data on a massive scale, hopefully to improve the results of their searches. I just stumbled across this in the morning, and I’m not sure if this is a permanent public module or not. There are two new...
