STL Blog Action.

09Jun08

Have any of you noticed that Annie’s blog AtoZ has blown up in the last couple months? They are blogging madmen/madwomen over there.

Eyes At Half Mast

Two years of recording and three months of mixing has led to the new album, Eyes At Half Mast. One can only hope for more gorgeous, string laden, self-described ‘folktronic [...]

i was told ‘its cold outside’

25Jan08

Just a quick question - what’s up with the track release? Does it really help get through the cold nights knowing some of my most anticipated albums this year are almost, but not quite, complete and ready for my admiration? According to themselves, Tokyo Police Club has finished recording their first full length album titled [...]

Linux Users and Los Campesinos!

Tiny Mix Tapes has a hilarious comparison of linux users and Los Campesinos! [MySpace] being a linux user myself (at home and at my day job), I find this review completely awesome and dead on accurate. The whole part about installing Ubuntu is classic.
