So, quite some time ago now, a dude by the name of Tristan Clopet got in touch with me to let me know about his tunes. He even sent me a bad-ass shirt, which is undoubtedly the most comfortable shirt I have ever owned. His emails were personal, and weren’t just mass mailouts spammed to […]

Another star blinks out…
I can’t tell you how sad this makes me, but news today reached my ears that Alex Chilton, singer from personal favourites Big Star, passed away today at age 59 from a suspected heart attack. To be honest, it’s been a really shitty last 4 months. First Chris “Spacewolf” Feinstein passed away. Scarcely a week […]
If you haven’t heard/tried Chatroulette yet, you wouldn’t be reading this blog. So I won’t explain it. But by far, the coolest, coolest thing I have seen to come out of the chat site is this: A dude playing piano and improvising tunes to his chat partners. Sheer joy. And yes, I know that I’m […]

God. It’s already December the 15th as I write this (not sure when I will get to publish the post) [Ed’s note: only half a month later. Not bad. I’ll just use the excuse that I was waiting until 2009 was over, to give every possible chance to every album in the decade. Yeah, that’s […]
Chris “Spacewolf” Feinstein, bassist for Ryan Adams & The Cardinals has passed away, and I can’t tell you how sad it makes me that the post to bring me out of my “lack of posting” funk is this one. Feinstein joined the band after Catherine Popper’s departure in 2006, and initially recorded with the band […]
