Music of 2013, part one

Sunday, June 9th, 2013

I had two-thirds of this initial review written by March, and I thought I was going to get a good jump on my posting of music I'm listening to this year. Then I got kicked out of my groove, like a needle skipping on a record, and ended up listening ...

Gigs of 2013, part one

Sunday, April 14th, 2013

More gigs! Some familiar bands, some new, and a couple known for their recordings but being seen for the first time. It's a mixed bag. Toy, Charlie Boyer & the Voyeurs, Novella at the Scala There's been a buzz about Toy for a while, but I procrastinated long enough about going to ...

Music of 2012, part four

Sunday, February 17th, 2013

I was aiming to get this final review of my 2012 music purchases out for the end of January, in a bid to make it somewhat timely, but again have fallen behind schedule. That's okay, though, as January has been pretty dry and I don't have any new music to ...

Gigs of 2012, part three

Sunday, December 30th, 2012

My final set of gigs for the year had a busy month of November, which turned out to be not quite as busy as I expected, thanks to illness. I still managed to squeeze in a bunch of gigs, and had some good nights out. There were a couple of ...

Music of 2012, part three

Sunday, December 9th, 2012

No post about my adventures in EVE Online today. Blame Vectid for that, and maybe my continuing desire to hear new music. But mostly Vectid. I have another collection of albums from this year that I've been listening to and, for the most part, enjoying. And I have one or ...

Music of 2012, part two

Sunday, September 23rd, 2012

I'm still late with reviewing the music I've bought this year, but here's my second collection of albums. There's more to come, once I get around to writing about it. Grimes is pushing out albums almost quicker than they can be pressed. Hot on the tail of Geidi Primes comes Visions, ...

Gigs of 2012, part two

Saturday, September 22nd, 2012

More gigs! I can only get to gigs when bands I like are playing, or when I notice that bands are playing, but I'm still trying to get out when I can. I really need to make more notes on the night or day after, though. I think I assumed ...

Music of 2012, part one

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

What the hell, 2012? It's August already and I haven't yet pushed out a first review of new music I'm listening to. Let's remedy that, better late than never, with the first batch of albums that have been added to my collection. Hopefully I can get the second and third ...

Gigs of 2012, part one

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

I'm still getting to gigs, still with mixed results. Here are my experiences from the first gigs of the year. Wild Flag/Peggy Sue at Electric Ballroom Peggy Sue play first, and though seem pretty good initially they start to wear on me as the set continues. I'm not sure why at first, ...

Music of 2011, part four

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Not quite before the end of the first month of 2012, I present my last collection of music from 2011. There is plenty to like here but I am sure I put off writing these reviews because of not wanting to revisit one album in particular. Had I done this ...
