Daily Rec Double Dose: Decemberists week [daily rec] Daily Rec Double Dose: Decemberists week [daily rec]
So I’m going to be fairly busy today, so I thought I’d throw this up before LD gets his in. We’re continuing with Decemberists week here at the blog, formerly we had Jason Isbell week, Cloverfield week, and Sex and the City week (LD is SUCH a Samantha, amirite guys?). But back to business....

Whew, let’s get situated here. This is my first time in the daily rec, and first thing’s first. I gotta move the seat up. LD’s a bit taller than me, so there we go, make sure the feet can reach the pedals. And engage giant robot. So, the Decemberists. I have a funny story about how...

Let’s start off with some miscellanea… I’ve been watching Weeds Season 3 this week, and I’m happy to report that it never lost a step from its brilliant season 2. I should have taken it in our TV Draft. We almost had a Monday question this week, and the topic was “Your...

Daily Rec!: Holland-Dozier-Holland Daily Rec!: Holland-Dozier-Holland
The cast of Dreamgirls. In probably the coolest news of the past two days, Paul Westerberg released his newest album, 49:00 as a digital download. What sets it apart from every single other album released today (as almost all albums are available as digital downloads anymore) are two things: 1) It’s...

Daily Rec: Hey Pitchfork, I’ve got the waterskis and the shark, did you bring the ramp? Daily Rec: Hey Pitchfork, I’ve got the waterskis and the shark, did you bring the ramp?
Hipster Dog’s jeans aren’t tight enough. I give him a 2.7 So, waaaaay back in October of 2007, Pitchfork Media reviewed Black Kids’ Wizard of Ahhhs EP, giving it an 8.4. On the strength of this glowing review, a band the essentially nobody had heard of was suddenly thrust into the...

L to R: Gwenno, who cares… Ok, let’s get this out of the way up front: E was right. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog is the best thing on the internet at the moment. Act I is good, but Act II is truly awesome. Guilty confession time: Last week, I went to see Mamma Mia!. Not the movie,...

mmm…Reasonable Doubt So, I’m going to go with a change-up today. Despite my constant attention to a few genres of music, I actually have pretty broad tastes (just look at my complete collection of *NSync cds for proof). The problem is, with the vast majority of music out there, even the...

Daily Rec! [ZOMG so tired!] Daily Rec! [ZOMG so tired!]
Seriously, I do not know when my brain will regain its full measure of cognitive function. However, I am very certain I’m not there yet. Nonetheless, we have obligated ourselves to blog on this…blog, and therefore, blog we will. As this past weekend was my birthday, I listened to far less...

Daily Rec [Oh, this again?] Daily Rec [Oh, this again?]
You may have heard we like Jason Isbell ‘round here. In fact, we like him so much that I had to stay far away from gritty country music for a long time, lest the Rec become a one-note paean to the genre. Instead, we decided to make it a one-note paean to sissified indie music. But, all good things...
