New Sleepy Sun Video - "Red/Black" (Stereogum Premiere)
Stereogum (Free subscription) | 24/11/2009
We got to talking about '70s bong hits when posting the video for psychedelic San Francisco sextet Sleepy Sun's " White Dove ," a sludgy stoner-pop track from their debut Embrace . Visually, the clip for the sludgy Blue Öyster Cult-via-Stendhal of "Red/Black," is angstier/less mellowed than its predecessor: It opens with home gardening gone awry before we watch two women vampirically...

Oops, I meant to post this mix to go along with the previous post about the burned-out car. This one’s almost an hour long with tracks by Dizzy Gillespie, Blue Öyster Cult, and of course Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Matt Sweeney. As I always I welcome your comments. Note also that 8tracks has just added a new [...]

The Eternal Golden Braid (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
Visiting with Eich-Pee-El A remark by John Shirley (author of various science fiction and thriller books, plus author of lyrics for bands like Blue Oyster Cult ) has led me back to the the works of Howard Philips Lovecraft. I first came across Lovecraft as a mention in a story by Ray Bradbury (in which a man finds a world where all horror stories have been erased and tries to reintroduce horror into...

THE CLASS OF '79 (Part 38)
THE VINYL VILLAIN (Free subscription) | 15/11/2009
Having become highly popular in the first half of 1979 with an album and singles originally released back in 1978, there was a huge amount of interest in the new material that was going to be released by The Police . In September 1979 they unleashed a single which somehow straddled new wave and MOR rock and in doing so turned the band into a global product for mass consumption. In other words, this...

Review: Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage
Eurogamer (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009
Going down hill? Everything except Modern Warfare 2 has fled from Q4 2009. Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, Heavy Rain. All gone. It's because none of them wanted to go up against Shaun White: World Stage, for fear of the inevitable - for fear of being crushed, like fragile snowmen, in the terrible wake of the Flying Tomato. It's not hard to understand why, either. I have fond - if rather vague - memories...

Mirrors

Mirrors are also implicated in Giordani's re-cognition of Amanda's murderer in the mirror: first he sees this in the bathroom mirror, the steam, which then prompts him to look at what she (her body) was pointing at. "A mirror is a negative space With a frame and a place for your face It reveals what the rest of us see It conceals what you'd like it to be" - Blue Oyster Cult, Mirrors

3 Election Day Contests Devoid of Any Meaning or Significance.

Today's off-year election lacks the high stakes of the 2008 presidential race, but that won't stop John King, Wolf Blitzer and Jeff Greenfield from circle jerking around their electoral maps. Here's a look three races that have little or no meaning today: New York's 23rd Congressional District. Who's running : Conservative Doug Hoffman and Democrat Bill Owens. Who's not running: Republican Dede Scozzafava...
