Song of the Day: Leonard Cohen - Diamonds in the Mine

Forgot how awesome this song was until I stumbled upon it on one of my mix cd's while driving to Seattle today.

The Nightlight Lounge is back...

And what a way to get the ball rolling:

March 30 can't come soon enough.

Song of the Day: Yes- Roundabout

I sort of had the epiphany while listening to Yes the other day the profound influence this period of their music has on so much music today. Bands like Minus the Bear, Battles, Don Cabellero, Faraquet (and for that matter any of the Math Rock genre) took so much from their absurd time signatures and prog heavy spacey sounding finger tapping.

New Cursive Album, Stat!

Now if they'd only book a damn Seattle show.

I proudly salute the "criminals" who did this

Trailer(s) of the Day: Bad Brains Doc and Gomorrah

Untitled Bad Brains Documentary(2009)

Not much to say there. Saw it on LineOut today.

Gomorrah (2008)
Apparently a pretty amazing mob flick. Based on a non-fiction book about the modern day mafia in Naples, Italy. The author has been under police protection ever since the book was released in fear of being murdered by the mob...sweet. Trailer was too large to fit in the blog so check it out here. Supposed to get a limited release date sometime in Feb. Check out the Wiki and the films official website for more details.
