I will spare you my long-winded, faux therapist-like rationalization for what I’ve been listening to lately, but just know it involves Springsteen, summer, sleepless nights, and southern Illinois. (And no, I haven’t left town.)

(Photo taken by my little sister circa 2006. Pretty sure I was driving my grandpa’s Oldsmobile.)

]]> In honor of Father’s Day, some songs my dad introduced me to growing up. As weird as it probably sounds, to this day whenever I hear Sisters of Mercy, I think of him. Love you Dad.

And in a twist of total cosmic weirdness, the Stone Roses homemade vid was filmed in the town we used to live in/mall we frequented when I was a lil kiddo.

]]> Just spent five days computer/internetless, which left me plenty of time to spin records for my visiting little sis. The following are her new favorite songs, at least according to the post-it she kept scribbling on throughout the weekend.

(I’m secretly hoping that by the end of summer she will have gotten rid of that damn Dave Matthews ringtone.)

]]> One of my default coping mechanisms used to consist of lying on the floor, in the dark, listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor over and over. I totally need to bring this little ritual back into my life.

Seriously, it’s hard to fret about stupid shit when you’re listening to epic, post-apocalyptic symphonies.

]]> Since I’m all over the place today, here are some random tidbits…

Explode Into Colors are stranded in San Antonio with a broken down van. Buy some merch and help them get the hell out of Texas!

Sleater-Kinney ladies Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss have teamed up to form a new band! While everything is still under wraps at the moment, this is most def a cause for celebration. AND, Carrie has alluded to a S-K reunion in the next five years!

Jessica Hopper has once again deftly combined music journalism with an unabashed feminist perspective. Check out her recent piece on tUnE-yArDs in the Portland Mercury.

Kleenex/LiLiPUT’s Live Recordings, TV-Clips, and Roadmovie awsomeness is out today on Kill Rock Stars. And it includes never released songs!

]]> I’m super sick right now. And since no one is around to make me tea or bring me books on Emma Goldman, I’ve been subsisting on the following:

1) Blueberry-Açaí popsicles

2) Up for a Bit With The Pastels

3) Season One of United States of Tara

4) Blatz (Because when I turned the volume up really loud, the trolls getting it on right outside my door finally left.)

5) This awesome new band from Barcelona called Aias. (Thanks to a heads-up from Michael Stock/Part Time Punks radio show.)

6) The guys.

Your eyes do not deceive you- the tongue reads “Step Inside”


On the swoosh it says, “But I remember when we were young…-Ian Curtis”

Is nothing sacred?
