Allison Keil – Blackberry
Hi. This is Fluffy. The cat. Sometimes the Food Guy lets me write his log post that he puts on the Winternet. He said I could write the log post for today, and he said I should write about a song called "Blackberry" by Allison Keil. Allison is a college student in...
Deceived Kids – Seventeen
In A Brief History of Time, the late Stephen Hawking theorized that, when the universe reaches the point of maximum expansion and begins to contract upon itself, time will run in reverse. It was a great relief to me when rigorous calculations demonstrated that time...
Waldo Grade – For Real
"For Real," by Waldo Grade, extends the great tradition of California-based electrified folk into the present century. Which proves that you can't keep a good genre down as long as there are talented musicians carrying the banner. "For Real" is a slow-cooker, opening...
Affordable Convertible – Hawaii
"Hawaii," by Affordable Convertible, is a fine chunk of emo pop punk. Or whatever genre in which you wish to stick it. The track has the self-reflection of emo and the power chords of punk, wrapped up by a pop sensibility that rounds off the rough edges. "Hawaii"...
Mike Herz – Knives in Gunfights
"Knives in Gunfights," by Mike Herz, describes two people at a crossroads. Do they continue an unwinnable struggle, throwing knives in a gunfight, or do they go all in? With the latter choice being either complete commitment or complete separation. Mike Herz...
Sonny and Cher – I Got You Babe
Today's song is dedicated to my AWESOME wife, Diann, who just finished re-creating Monet's Poppy Fields Near Argenteuil on a 115-foot fence in our back yard. We've been married less than two months and it's been amazing. I am so lucky that we have each other. Thank...
Dogs Of Lords – NeverFeel
"NeverFeel" by Dogs Of Lords is what you get when you run an electric line from a TVA dam up into an East Tennessee hollow, give somebody a guitar, a government check, and a tab of acid, and let it all fester for fifty years. Originating in the Valley and Ridge...
The Ruby Palms – Cleopatra
Make sure you have some room to move before you click the play button. Because your feet and/or other body parts will go into motion when you hear "Cleopatra" by The Ruby Palms. The song hits that sweet spot between Surf, New Wave, and the Velvet Underground where the...
LittleBoyBigHeadOnBike – BBB
Hi. This is Fluffy. The cat. The Food Guy is busy shoveling mulch out of the compost pile to put in a flower bed, so I am going to help him by writing his log post. A lot of the compost came from my litter box, so I guess I've contributed to that project. When I've...
No Such Thing As Ghost – Meant To Me
"Meant To Me" by No Such Thing As Ghost is the best kind of power pop: a tender love song kicked in the ass by full-throttle guitars and a wall-of-sound chorus. Punky energy and a strong vocal combine to give "Meant To Me" the feel of an 80's-vintage band on steroids....
