The kids finished the 2011-2012 school year and wanted to feast with their little hands; so we made some killer wings, sweet potatoes chips and crudités with a wonderful cilantro dip.
It didn't take long for them to crash hard... What a year!
Sammy was formed in the early 90s by Jesse Hartman and Luke Wood, a former member of Girls Against Boys who had contributed guitar to their Tropic of Scorpiorelease in 1989. The band, who frequently received comparisons to Pavement, was initially signed to Smells like Records, the label owned by Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley. Later the band signed to DGC/Geffen records, where Luke Wood was working at the time. Geffen released the band's third and final full-length, Tales of Great Neck Glory, in 1996.
I wish that I knew ya,
That you weren't made up
Hear the fog in your voice
See the way that you strut
Down Neptune Ave.
Show me around, tell me a story
'cause I'm a history hound
Yeah, I wish that I knew ya
Not a sketch in my book
See the lines on your face
Your hard boiled look
Down Neptune Ave.
Yeah, show me around
Tell me a story
'cause I'm a history hound
Become more than a character on the page
Description and dialogue that I saved
oh-ho
I wish you were real
I wish you could talk
I wish you could feel
I wish you could walk me
down Neptune Ave.
Show me the town
Tell every story to this history hound
Whatever happened to you on this beach?
Whatever happened to you in that bar?
Whatever happened to you on this street?
Whatever happened to your old guitar?
Whatever happened to you on this ride?
Whatever happened to you in that club?
How did life ever take such a slide?
Where you learned to be someone no good?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
I'd say how do, it's nice to meet you.
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?

How do, yeah it's nice to meet you.
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, yeah it's nice to meet you.
What happens when you are a sensitive guy making music in Austin, Texas, in the mid 90s? You either join a band called Trail of Dead and take out your frustrations by smashing your gear on stage every time you play, or you recruit a bunch of equally sensitive people and make the most shimmery music possible. The American Analog Set made a handful of albums (all of which are gorgeous and sound kind of the same), but this is a sentimental favorite. The record opens with the sounds of exploding fireworks, a fun sound that this band manages to make melancholy. This is good music to play while journaling or drifting in and out of consciousness.
The growth of science and a correspondingly scientific way of looking at evidence have for the last three centuries slowly been gaining ground over religious explanations of the cosmos and mankind's place in it. However, not only is secularism now under renewed attack from religious fundamentalism, but it has also been widely claimed that the scientific evidence itself points strongly to a universe deliberately fine-tuned for life to evolve in it. In addition, certain aspects of human life, like consciousness and the ability to recognise the existence of universal moral standards, seem completely resistant to evolutionary explanation.
In this book Colin Howson analyses in detail the evidence which is claimed to support belief in God's existence and argues that the claim is not well-founded. Moreover, there is very compelling evidence that an all-powerful, all-knowing God not only does not exist but cannot exist, a conclusion both surprising and provocative.
Missed the last train home Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone Well, I'm pushing myself to finish this part I can handle a lot But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes
In your eyes...
Have you seen this film? It reminds me of walking through the avenues Washing my hands of attachments, yeah I can land on the ground But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes 'Cause I find love
The band drifted together in the usual fashion… inspired by boredom, creative energy, and a passion for music – obvious reference points are Pixies, The Cure, The Clash and Arcade Fire; more oblique influences slide in from most genres of music and virtually every decade from the 50s onwards. Over a period of time that saw others attempt to tie down a description of their sound, they holed up in the wilds of Portrane, Co Dublin and concentrated on writing songs, pure and simple. They had no interest in the frills and fripperies or the empty bombast that occupy other bands; for them it has always been about 4 people communing to harness honest emotion, fashion melodic hooks, and roll out infectious rhythms.
Steppin it up now, this track by 'Of Porcelain' is titled 'Signal the Captain.' For those who don't know, 'Of Porcelain' is also know as 'Ooah,' from 'The Glitch Mob.' He considers this project to be "music for the hopeless romantic." Check it out.
We hit the fields on Saturday to collect some of this years delicious strawberries - this years are sweet, bright and wonderful. Get them before they are gone for good.
“Right now, I am searching for a label that might be interested in my project, sending out a copies of my first album as a demo, and currently planning a few club performances, as well as a live session in the studio.”... his indie folk, dream pop sound is influenced by artists like Husker Du, Slowdive, Evan Dando, Belly and John Frusciante.
There is nothing like the challenges and camaraderie of the road to inspire a songwriter who thrives upon the emotional energy and exhilaration only travel can deliver. Some singers are devoted to the pursuit of perpetual motion, and Langhorne Slim releases his wild soul in ways that come out of the discipline of live performance. home
On The Way We Move, the live feel of the sessions, which found Langhorne singing along with the band on every track. “Singing with the band that way, it’s almost like I was performing on stage,” he says. Cutting everything live to tape gave the band exactly what they’d been looking for: a super-charged evocation of their raucous, friendly stage performances.

Simply Amazing, if you are a fan of the original, which shouldn't be too hard, you'll love the remixes by Psycosis
There are mash-ups that are meh, mash-ups that are fun, and then there are mash-ups that make you forget that this mash-up business is kind of getting tired and your head explodes in a cloud of joyous glitter. Neutral Bling Hotel’s In My G4 Over Da Sea, created by videogame programmer Psycosis, is pure awesome, pairing hip-hop classics with arguably the greatest Elephant Six album produced,Neutral Milk Hotel’s In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Now Jeff Mangum mingles with the likes of M.O.P., Dr. Dre, and Kanye West. Because in the Venn Diagram of life, there should always be a point at which Mangum and Jay-Z overlap.

This is the first trailer of an upcoming documentary which seems to focus on the thoughts of atheists and misconseptions about atheism. I'm looking forward to see it.
It started as a gimmick. Rock musician Jon Black was looking for a creative way to get people -- mostly press -- to listen to his new album. After reading a story about a musician who sent out his album inside floppy disk covers, he thought he'd try packaging his new release on Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges. wired
For a 20-year-old self-taught musician who only really started playing and recording a year ago, Kopec is off to an impressive start with his thoughtful, endearing and uplifting songs; he’s clearly an extremely talented artist, and the more we listen to his fairly large catalog of lo-fi tracks, the more convinced we are that he deserves to get more notice, and suspect that will happen when more people get to hear his music.
