I lost touch with why I started it and what drove me to post. I regret not sticking with my original intentions and letting the music industry take the wheel. But at the same time I worship that regret!<br /><br />The revolution is not over!

Falling so far behind I may never catch up. Inbox is overflowing.<br /><br />Doing lots of work on the house...and in the process I'm re-doing a bunch of music stuff...digitizing my entire CD collection (around 1500 CDs) and making a music server. No more discs in the living room dominating the walls. The only problem? How to get music to my kids rooms, who are used to having access to all of the discs in the living room.<br /><br />The solution? Not sure. Has anyone tried an FM transmitter? Thinking of this <a href="http://www.ccrane.com/radios/fm-transmitters/fm-transmitter.aspx" target=new>lil' guy from C Crane.</a><br /><br />Anyone out there in lalaland use one of there FM transmitters?

I've always appreciated his work but his voice hasn't made him high on my list. <a href="http://www.bryanferry.com/" target="new">Bryan Ferry</a>, on the other hand, made it pretty near to the top. He's been a part of my musical experience as long as I remember. His new album, Dylanesque, is a meshing of the two, an album of Dylan covers as done by Ferry.<br /><br />Bryan Ferry's voice is slowly changing as he ages. It's notably different on this album. I wouldn't say it's a change for the better or for the worse, though. It's just a bit different, a bit more restrained.<br /><br />The strength of the album, coming from someone who isn't familiar with all of the songs, is that it makes one realize the strength of Dylan's writing. It wraps it in a glossy, Bryan Ferry sound and makes you understand that at heart, Dylan really writes pop hits.<br /><br />There are a few misses on the album, but over all it's well worth a listen:<br /><br /><a href="http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/virg001/bryan_ferry/audio/bryanferry_just_like_tom_thumbs_blues-1.asx?siteid=pm">Bryan Ferry - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (streaming)</a><br /><br />So take the time <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dylanesque-Bryan-Ferry/dp/B000LPR0SE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7740341-8122501?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1178651489&sr=8-1"target=new>to search it out</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Music" rel="tag" target="new">TechTag: Music</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707927.post-2801577371357404142007-07-03T10:07:00.000-07:002007-07-03T10:10:01.642-07:00Working StiffsJust read that Graham Coxon (ex-blur) recorded some tracks with Paul Weller. 3 tracks for a single released in the UK on July 30th.

Nice to see her singing again. Follow the dotted lines to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwhatsup"target=new>wwwhatsup</a> for lots of other artists performing...some interesting stuff there, including Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio).<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Music" rel="tag" target="new">TechTag: Music</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707927.post-62013681447330787202007-06-06T11:20:00.001-07:002007-06-06T11:27:12.667-07:00QUITTER!<img style="width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://www.teamyacht.com/photo/The-Summer-Song.jpg" /><br /><br />Jona's leaving the Blow...which bums me out because they make beautiful music together. But you can't really blame him, the guy's been really busy...touring with LCD Soundsystem and an upcoming tour with Architecture in Helsinki and then on to Europe. It's totally understandable.

Check <a href="http://myspace.com/explorersclub" target="new">The Explorer's Club</a> myspace page for details. There's an EP in the works for a bit later this year. Let's hope the album spreads its wings and produces more than just Beach Boys influenced pop. It could be very sweet indeed.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Music" rel="tag" target="new">TechTag: Music</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707927.post-87466409020529132362007-06-06T09:59:00.000-07:002007-06-06T10:08:33.090-07:00I can see an oasis ahead<img style="width: 285px; height: 190px;" src="http://a409.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01146/80/46/1146816408_l.jpg" /><br /><br />Turns out Mojave 3 may never release another album, at least according to their drummer, Ian McCutcheon. But it's not all bad. His new band, <a href="http://www.theloosesalute.com/" target="new">The Loose Salute</a>, is releasing an album on June 12th on <a href="http://www.graveface.com/" target="new">Graveface Records</a>.

The spook is abundant in his new release, "A Rather Solemn Promise." A collaborative effort with Tom Carter, the album leaves you aching for more...it's a journey through the sounds of empty souls and broken hearts.<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/spypost/CK-UnknownFoxen.mp3" target="new">Tom Carter & Christian Kiefer - Unknown Foxen</a><br /><br />Once again, Christian doesn't fail us...his music is haunting and has a depth to it few others ever find.<br /><br /><img style="width: 330px; height: 330px;" src="http://www.christiankiefer.com/Kiefer%20Press%20Photo.jpg" /><br /><br />This album will be available on an extremely limited physical run (500 units) but I believe you'll be able to buy it digitally as well.
