iTunes at work...

From time to time, I'll downlad something at work (always free, mind you) like the newest Daytrotter sessions or something neat off of Stereogum or something like that.

I've been letting the library play in alphabetical order today and I noticed that once my Spoon songs end, the next artist in my library is Stan Bush.

Who is Stan Bush, you ask?

Here you go...


Stereogum posted this video a week or so ago, so they beat me to the punch. Whatever, I'm feeling all misty-eyed and nostalgic.

Now, I'm assuming you all know more about Spoon than you do Stan Bush, so, quite obviously, they don't really jive together. It's kind of like playing Def Leppard after a Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique".

So, my question, dear reader, is this; what artist would fit inbetween these two artists and bridge the gap between their musical stylings?

Help!

Summer Stuff

OK, I've been away from the blogosphere for sometime. Hey, it's summer and the weather's been awful. I've been procrastinating when it comes to blogs because I've been busy listening to a lot of music, reading a lot of comics and books and I've been watching Superman Returns.

Fear not, for I shall be returning shortly with a review of Clerks 2, musings on New Jersey and New York life as well as some social commentary.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I've been writing a novel.

See all 10 of you readers soon,
Ian!!!

PS I learned to love "Radio Tokyo". It's in 3 of my iPod Playlists.

PPS Yes, I now own an iPod.
