Playlist: 2010.06.26 – Time Is Running Out
The month of June is a wash for anything except work, and it’s really crunch-time right now with Anime Expo next week. The nice part is that, soon, I’ll be able to actually talk about some of the stuff I’ve been working on for the last several months. Yay! ♫ Time Is Running Out “Time [...]

Playlist: 2010.06.09 – Number Crunching
Most of this afternoon was devoted to sales figures and statistics. I think the multiple Oasis tunes in today’s shuffles — there were two this morning, also(!) — are a not-so-subtle sign that the universe knows I’m going to end up buying their newest collection. ♪ Number Crunching “Thunderkiss ’65″ – Rob Zombie “Brother John” [...]

Playlist: May 2002 – Bebop on the Brain
V6 took over my iPod. Seriously. In the meantime, while I sort out the new stuff, I dug out an old playlist, circa May 2002… right about the time I was waiting (very) impatiently for my copy of the Cowboy Bebop CD box set. Enjoy! Below, you will find my personal, unofficial CowBe Mix. This [...]
Playlist: 2010.03.27 – Hard Habit to Break
I felt just a little subversive as I went grocery shopping with both Chicago’s “Hard Habit to Break” and Garbage’s “Shut Your Mouth” as an accompaniment. ☺ Hard Habit to Break “Mainline Florida” - Eric Clapton “Wrong Number” – The Cure “Yo pumpkin head” – Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts “That’s What You Get” – Nine [...]

Playlist: 2010.03.20 – Hello!
Another Saturday-errand shuffle! One of my particular favorites is the Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts live recording of “Mushroom Hunting,” from the Cowboy Bebop TV series. It just sounds like the musicians — and by extension the audience — are having a ball. ♪ Hello! “Hello” - Oasis “Angel Dream (No. 4)” – Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers [...]
