dalasverdugo: irrationalblog: Did anyone know this? I sure as hell didn’t. I remember a neighbor kid having VHS tapes of these videos growing up, but I don’t remember much about them other than the one where the guy jumps off a bridge with a rope tied around his waist and he snaps right in half. Gross. I was so scared of these videos as a kid. I’m still not sure I could watch them. I always...
Goodbye Facebook
jessenovak: I just took myself off. It feels nice.Same here, it’s a big waste of time - they also have to stop trying to BE the internet.
What Is Indie Rock?
jessenovak: Here’s a disclaimer — although I make music, I am by no means a music expert. I don’t know a lot of bands or own a lot of music. I almost never go out and see shows. Here’s another disclaimer — I went directly from a small and progressive high school to a small and progressive college, and now live in Brooklyn. Anyway, here goes: When I was younger, I watched my two favorite...
Rant!
jessenovak: Both of these bands I just mentioned (the Bird and the Bee and No Age) are LA bands. Although NY has a reputation for fueling musical creativity and having lots of cool bands, my experience living in LA taught me that it’s infinitely easier to be in a band there, as the driving culture and relative glut of space lets people transport their instruments and then have a place to...

Where has respect gone?
I just got back from Candlelight Inn, my favorite place. It’s a nice independently-run diner/dive bar with the best hot wings in the county. It was incredibly crowded as it usually is on a Friday night, and I was quite hungry. Although I wouldn’t say I’d get along with most of the patrons there, they’re usually quite decent people (and the workers are spectacular). So I...

Bummer - SuperDeluxe was the only place to really find reliable good content (Tim & Eric, Olde English, Brad Neely, Douggpound, Odenkirk…). I do see it’s one flaw though, beyond all the good, there were about 100 artists that were consistently mediocre, getting paid and featured. Comedians are needed on the internet, but I wonder if they would be more successful if they were all...

Theory class argument, Internet vs. USA
Last week in Music Theory, I got into a little bit of discourse with the professor Thomas Macfarlane. The issue at hand was a complex one - the implications of cultural unity, I guess. While certain students were miffed that this discussion was going on in theory class (which by the way, if you think global culture has nothing to do with your music, then your music will probably have nothing to do...
