So This Is The New Year …

… and I don’t feel any different. Yeah, I’m still kinda sick.
Happy happy joy joy and rah rah rah to everyone out there. It’s two thousand and four. Doesn’t that sound strange? I mean, 2003 was a number I could wrap my head around, but 2004 sounds just a bit more futuristic. Maybe that’s just me, though. So now we get to scream “It’s 2004! Come on! Where are the flying cars! Where’s my personal teleporter! Promises were made in cartoon form!”.
So I’m starting to work on this little page here. It’s an ever-changing, ever-updating page of mp3 download links out there on the not-so-inertnet. Relatively stable places to grab live shows, rarities, and randomness from bands I like and you just might. It’ll also include a few invaluable links to sites that regularly feature a rotating song or two, or provide great linkage themselves (like Chrome Waves, Largehearted Boy, and Kingblind, already listed on the right). I can’t thank those guys enough for keeping the good stuff comin’.
(Got any good mp3 resource links to throw at me? My email addy is in the lower left over there. Much obliged.)
Speakin’ of the good stuff, you should be checking out Jenn’s radio playlists from her show on WMFO, the Hedgehog’s Dilemma. She’s got it goin’ on. Better yet, you should be listenin’ every week. There’s ‘MFO streaming audio here. Great way to start yer Sunday.
In progress: My Best of 2003 Lists. I know, the anticipation is just killing you.
Mp3 of the Week: the Stills on Conan
Posted on December 29, 2003 at 9:45 am | No Comments
In keeping with my newfound Stills obsession, this week’s mp3 is a live recording of their first single “Still in Love Song“, from their recent appearance on Conan O’Brien.
They definitely rock it up a notch compared the the album version, which is buried in the disc at track 10… not even the best song on there. If the chorus (and specifically the bass line) sound familiar, you get points for your knowledge of old school alterna-trivia. A hint lies right in the song’s title. Ah, what the heck, here’s your answer.
Picked up our tickets last night to their February 3rd show at TTs. Can’t wait.
“your dreams of acting on screen… what do they mean?
you’ll be dancing senseless in your bedroom.
you’ll find yourself out of a job,
and before too long you’ll be selling lemonade to the overpaid.”
A gentle reminder: Only two days left to cast your votes in the Brainwashed Best of 2003 poll. Get on over there and get make with the clicky.
