Saturday Video: Tim Minchin
Posted in fun, tagged math, music, Tim Minchin on November 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This video clip looks like it is straight off cute overload, but the sweetness is offset by Of Montreal’s dark sense of humour and heavy bass-line. This song is Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and Other Games), from the album The Sunlandic Twins. I wonder if somewhere a student writing a thesis on their song [...]

Yes, the computer is still in the shop. But there’s still Gogol Bordello and what is quite possibly the world’s best song:

We went down to the Rialto last night to catch a benefit concert by Calexico. Best show I’ve seen in ages. They pull off an unexpected blend of mariachi, folk, and straight-up rock, including a Neil Young cover featuring two full mariachi bands and a slew of guest vocalists on stage.

Jo-anne has made a project of reorienting me towards a more Australian temperament. Her tactics are subtle but persistent.

The most insidious of her methods includes buying CDs of Australian bands and playing them until [...]
Shish Boom Bam
Posted in Navel-Gazing, tagged Maine, music, Rustic Overtones on April 17, 2008 |
While googling about for the latest CD by the Rustic Overtones (Light at the End), I discovered that copies of Shish Boom Bam are now selling for as high as $350. Shish is the crappy old recording from 1994 when I used to play trumpet with the band, back when R.O. were all rosy-cheeked teenagers. [...]
