My last post was really long, so this one will be really short. Here’s a laundry list of some of my more provacative tastes, and if anyone would like to learn more about a like/dislike, or to challenge my taste in music, you are free to do so in the comments section, and I [...]

My first introduction to D. A. Pennebaker’s seminal music documentary, ‘Don’t Look Back’ came as a result of my one academic endeavour into Film Studies, when a short clip from the film was used to hammer home the meaning of cinéma vérité. The clip (which I have included below from YouTube) pertains to [...]
In the absence of having anything important to say I thought I would share a music video/commercial I recently discovered: Jose Gonzalez’ folky cover of the eighties-esque pop melody ‘Heartbeats’ by The Knife. Jose Gonzalez and Juana Molina are touring together this summer and make an appearance in Toronto so I may get to [...]
Thought I would join in on the Tim Buckley lovefest going on at Bricolage Fantasy by posting a YouTube clip of Tim performing ‘Song to the Siren’ on some sort of Monkees program. This is one of my favorite songs and easily one of the best written songs that I can think of. [...]

Full playlist here:

This playlist has been hanging around for a year and was my contribution to another playlist challenge with Madperc that for some reason or another never came to fruition. It was partially inspired by ‘High Fidelity’, that part where John Cusack’s character admits to organizing his music collection according to its personal relationship to [...]

I wish I could adequately express my reverence for the musical legacy of Bob Dylan, to put into words what I feel quite acutely now and have felt for a long time, but the task seems so beyond me, particularly now when I have so little time to revise and organize my thoughts. The [...]
There have been a handful of meaningful shows I have attended, each with their own particular charm and sentiment. Up until tonight, this list had included only two noteworthy performances: my first Radiohead concert (Kid A tour) and my first Tori Amos concert (and only small venue show of her, at [...]
