What I love about using shuffle to do my Friday playlist is that I really don’t have to think very hard to get the playlist out the door. Sure I throw my $.02 in there about each track and/or band, but the natural flow of shuffle makes it much easier for me to maintain my mindless zombie status. Especially on …
Friday Playlist #4
Ahh, the wonders of Friday. Survive today and, more than likely, you’ll have two free days of mirth and merriment that just don’t last long enough. OK, enough of the palaver, down to the tunes. I thought I’d take things up a level this week and leave the selection of the Friday playlist to the hands of fate, or, at …
Friday Playlist #3
Well, it’s Friday again, and that means more freakin’ music from me. I know I’ve been extra slacky this week, but that is, indeed, my prerogative (and I don’t mean the Bobby Brown kind). This week’s offering leans a little more towards the fast and dirty. I’ve basically been cooped up all week, so that almost always gets reflected in …
Friday Playlist #2
So I’ve been a little lax this week. Truth be told, it’s been the week from hell and I really didn’t feel like venting via blog. It’s much easier to punch people in the face than spout invective about them online. That’s the power of action, people. Remember that. So, here we are with the second installment of a weekly …
Friday Playlist #1!
Not that you people asked for it, but I made an executive decision that I, starting today, will share with you, my loyal minions, a playlist of music that you should already be listening to on each Friday. The genres will clash, tempos will vary wildly, but I don’t give a good goddamn. That’s how Friday works! I have at …
Apparently some music came out in 2009
I really thought I was going to take the opportunity of having some free time over the past couple of weeks to do some writing, but, true to my slacker nature, I sat on my ass and didn’t do a damn thing. Now, 2010 is upon us and zipping itself along to becoming as much a memory as 2009. Since …
Decade breakdown 1: The Shows
One of the first things that popped in my gourd when I thought about looking back on the decade was food (I’m hungry). After a quick granola bar, what was left was music. Specifically, live music. I attend a lot of live music events and looking back on the long list of shows I attended in the past ten years …
Why did it have to be Jimmy Fallon?
From 1993 until some time in 1997, my roommate and I had a Sunday ritual. I’d usually spend the afternoon putting away a box of Peter Vella’s burgundy and, come evening, we’d watch and record 120 Minutes on MTV. At this point in time, MTV also had Alternative Nation (hosted by the ever-annoying Kennedy) going just about every night, but we …
It’s been 10 days and you’re still playing that game…
[wpaudio url=”http://www.notwiththatface.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/01-Missle-Command.mp3″ text=”Shallow – Missle Command” dl=”0″] Around 1995 (when I was swinging back and forth between shoegaze and punk) some friends of mine introduced me to Shallow: a Kansas City band that was kinda shoey and mostly geeky. When I found out that Sonic Boom had done a pile of remixes for them I thought I’d go ahead and …
He was smart, he was wise, he’d profoundly philosophize…
[wpaudio url=”http://www.notwiththatface.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/19-Out-of-the-Window.mp3″ text=”Violent Femmes – Out the Window” dl=”0″] In November 1993 my roommate to be and I jumped in his small Toyota pickup and headed off down to Austin to see the Violent Femmes play at Liberty Lunch. This was my first outing to Austin to see a show and I kicked off my long long string of Austin shows …
