It’s time to put down your plastic guitar and 3-D glasses and take a dose of reality. Professor Johnny Marr from the *University of Salford by way of The Smiths and now Modest Mouse (WTF?) gives a very intriguing yet entirely esoteric interview on all thing JM. (*Google it you lazy bastard)

Radiohead

                    In Rainbows

                                           Reckoner

All I have to say is that Radiohead is incredibly smooth, melodic and that this musical piece of art is somewhat catchy but yet still alternative. Don’t miss this one!

I was in Circuit City today and I noticed something strange. The aisles of cds had dwindled down to just a few. Well, duh, I know, people buy and steal most their music online. No reason to waste space on them . . .

So much for cutting school and going to NYC to buy records/cds. My first time I remember coming up from the subway at Christopher Street and going to a dingy basement shop called 99 Records . . .  then off to Bleeker Bobs, and to the various stores on Eighth Street and St. Marks Place. Or as tike–walking over a mile to Our Music Center–then within weeks after getting my drivers license, stealing off to Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ.

Now like many other things in life, music is just a click of the mouse away. Oh well.

This is a great cover of Kate Bush’s 80’s alternative hit. It’s much different yet still captures the surreal nature of the original. <<:/)

Lately each time I turn on WSIA (88.9 in Staten Island) it seems they are playing something pretty cool/interesting. To me that means new alternative rock or electronic music that has “commercial” potential. Click here to give them a try.
