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 [...]
Review: U2 – All That You Can’t Leave Behind
There are several species of U2 fans. The die-hards who own every album since 1980′s Boy. The music collectors who own the band’s critical and artistic highlights (one or several of the “early” albums, plus The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby). And those who are “stuck in the moment”: favoring a particular era in the [...]

Review: Pearl Jam – The Bootleg Albums
Pearl Jam has always been in touch with its fans. From the early days when Seattle bands broke onto the national scene to their infamous battle over ticket surcharges, they’ve developed a reputation for being stubborn and for speaking out in their fans’ best interest. In the ultimate gesture of fan service, they are now [...]
Review: Lenny Kravitz – 5
Lenny Kravitz‘s music has always been heavily influenced by the 1970′s, emphasizing thick arrangements and a full, analog sound. With 5, an album that was released in 1998 and continues its slow burn on the charts, he moves further along this path with fantastic results. The opener, “Live,” is full of fat bass sounds, punctuated [...]
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 [...]

Playlist: 2010.03.13 – Successful Mail & Music Run
Here’s this week’s Saturday shuffle. This is the first St. Patrick’s Day in more than five years that I don’t have any band stuff, so this first song popping up made me smile. == Successful Mail & Music Run “New York Lullaby” – The Prodigals “American Woman” – Lenny Kravitz “Yes” – Coldplay “Farther” – [...]

Playlist: 2010.03.06 – Rainy (Not Snowy) Saturday

Playlist: 2010.02.20 – Saturday Errands
Like a lot of other people, I’m fascinated with the shuffle mode on my iPod. This playlist, as I was running errands, was a pretty good one, so I’m recording it here. == Saturday Errands “No More Bet” – TOKIO “Shodo” – Coming Century “The Jean Genie” – David Bowie “Notion” – Kings of Leon [...]
