Hello, neglected music bloggy thing. Today I come bearing 1990s Top 40 adult contemporary pop/rock! Anyone who knows me knows that I am in love with 80s music, but I also profess a deep fondness for this stuff, being as this was what I grew up w...

And then love pulled out the heavy artillery

Hello, poor neglected Vox thing! This will be a lazy post today because I've already got all the mp3s uploaded and ready for listening/download in this helpful Box.net folder. (If you should, in the future, decide to sign up for a Box.net thingy...

And if you're happy, I am too.

I'm tired and stressed for several reasons and needed to go to bed an hour ago, but sometimes you stumble across a piece of brilliance that you have to share. Well, first, for the hell of it: Nada Surf - Popular (rcsa) Not the brilliance I was ta...

Superhuman thighs, sexier than television

Now crossposting over to LJ, just to annoy everyone over there. I've been on a giant Sufjan Stevens kick lately, and I blame it on Jeremy giving me a copy of The Avalanche. I can't believe some of these are only B-sides. I know a lot of people ...

Another sip of fine liqueur

Vox needs more dark layouts. Neglecting this thing a bit, so here's a few little things. In honor of my awesome Halloween costume (pictures forthcoming eventually), here's Freezepop's cover of the Jem! theme song. (for saving) Also: The Bees ...

A pirate head and a pirate heart

I skipped Talk Like A Pirate Day last year, but this year I am celebrating with my wee Pirate-y Playlist (this does not include One Piece stuff, because I'm too lazy to post all of that, or even the album covers for the ones I put up) (lazy lazy l...

So come trip on a stereo song.

2006-09-01T00:46:36Z

Grab bag today. i. Once Around the Block I bought Badly Drawn Boy's The Hour of Bewilderbeast back in 2001 and it was because of this song. Five years later it's still my favorite song in the history of everything. I can't even talk about it i...

Spice, rum and tea-leaves.

Okay! So Pinback, not such a big hit. Got it. :)Next time: Oh, I dunno. Spoon? The Decemberists? Dealership? Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66? Fantastic Plastic Machine? Of Montreal? Apples in Stereo? Any one of these strikes anyone's fancy,...

It's up to the trees with the fire storm.

In this issue: Pinback, the delicately beautiful lovechild of Armistead Burwell "Zach" Smith IV and Rob Crow. There are lots and lots of projects under the umbrella of genius of Mr. Crow (and others, tangentially related), but Pinback is my fav...
