A List: August 6, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: August 6, 2003

LISTENING: – Fiction by Yuki Kajiura | Kajiura is the composer behind the music from Noir — with which I am totally infatuated — so I knew I’d like at least part of this album. “Key of the Twilight” (vocals by Emily Bindiger, who did some vocals for Yoko Kanno’s CowBe soundtrack(s)) and “Zodiacal Sign” [...]

A List: July 28, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: July 28, 2003

A baby list for this installment, as I am still recovering from promoting METROCON. Nearly 1700 attendees. Yay! LISTENING: – BeautifulGarbage by Garbage | One of those CDs that keeps finding its way into my CD player. This week’s favorite track is “Can’t Cry These Tears.” I sing it at the top of my lungs [...]

A List: July 7, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: July 7, 2003

LISTENING: – Believe by Disturbed | Just getting into this one. Like their last album, the songs I like best are the ones that are radio-friendly, i.e. “Prayer” and “Remember.” – Songs For the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age | Admittedly, I bought this album because I’m a fan of Dave Grohl. ^_^ [...]

A List: June 30, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: June 30, 2003

LISTENING: – The Animatrix: The Album | Lots ‘o’ techno. – “Take It Off” by The Donnas | I can’t decide if they’re intending for this song to be a.) ironic, b.) over the top feminist or c.) slutty to pull in the teenage/college boy demo. (Or if they d.) haven’t quite figured it out [...]

A List: June 21, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: June 21, 2003

LISTENING: – Wolf’s Rain OST by Yoko Kanno | Beautiful, beautiful music. I’m a sucker for any collaborations Yoko Kanno has with Steve Conte, so this one’s a given. Highlights include: “Stray,” the anime’s opening song with vocals by Conte; “Strangers,” kind of reminds me of a “Missing” by Everything But the Girl, but I [...]

A List: April 28, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: April 28, 2003

LISTENING: – Blue Seed OST: A fun CD, and while I’m *usually* always for domestic versions using the Japanese cover art, I can’t help but wish the cover had been a little more … reflective of what the series is about. ;-) WATCHING: – Sports Night: I finally finished the DVD box I started back [...]

A List: March 21, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: March 21, 2003

LISTENING: – For those of you who know me in real life, you know I’ve spent the last month or so promoting Gulf Coast Celtic Fling. This event included two concerts, in addition to daytime performances. All of these performers are really something, so if you ever get the chance, get out and see them: [...]

A List: March 9, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: March 9, 2003

LISTENING: – Evanescence, Fallen: I am so glad that I held off on buying the Daredevil soundtrack and waited for this instead. It’s a very strong debut album — especially if you like power rock. (Quite a few people out there don’t.) So far, my favorite cuts are “Going Under,” “Bring Me To Life” and [...]

A List: February 26, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: February 26, 2003

LISTENING: – “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence: I love, love, *LOVE* this song. It’s all I can to to make myself wait for their album on March 4 instead of buying the Daredevil OST. WATCHING: – Argentosoma, Vol. 1: The first volume was not quite what I was expecting … this series looks like [...]

A List: January 27, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: January 27, 2003

LISTENING: – Aaron Copland: I found the RCA Victor Greatest Hits in the bargain bin at Best Buy. (Score!) WATCHING: – Super Bowl: GO BUCS!! Superbowl Champions! (And for the record, I was a fan when they wore orange and weren’t quite the winning team they are today. ^_^) – Blue Gender: Just finished the [...]
