Yes, the podcast should have been recorded already, but due to the holiday weekend and a little Dungeons and Dragons, it will be delayed for one more day. But, in the meantime, why don’t you check out the following vid of Peeping Tom on Conan O’Brien. The album dropped today.

By the way, that’s [...]

Which isn’t the same as One-Eyed Willie from the classic family film The Goonies, or my one-eyed trouser snake.
One Eyed Stanley is the name of a local band from Newton. Yes, I know there are a lot of local Boston-area bands, and yes, I know you expect more from me than that. Keep your pants [...]

If you have been reading the blog, you will know that I have been fortunate enough to catch Melt Banana the last couple times they have made their way through Boston. While browsing Google Video, I found a nice live performance video of them performing in Italy. Unfortunately, as with most videos like [...]

The most personally useful thing that came out of the recent Apple announcement is the ability to gift songs, albums, and playlists. I don’t have any immediate plans to buy a fancy iPod that sorta plays video and I already own an iMac (although not near as nice as the new one). Being [...]

“Sweet googly moogle!” as Colin would say.
Last night, at the 2005 Boston Music Awards, the Dresden Dolls won some awards. Specifically, they won Best Live Act and Best Local Female Artist.
Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione are the duo that make up one of my favorite bands period, and that they’re a local band [...]

“So, Carl, aren’t you going to paint the half-naked chicks?”
So asked my good friend Dave at the Paradise last night.
No, it wasn’t a strip club. No, it wasn’t an art show, though it certainly was art. No, it wasn’t a wild orgy plucked from the fertile ground of my imagination. If it [...]

Wow.
I am so tired. Dead tired. And my ears are still ringing.
What a great show.

The night began rather poorly. First of all, I spent the better part of a half-hour on my cell-phone listening to Carl’s R-rated commentary on the poor design of Boston’s roadways and the less-than-impressive driving skills of Boston motorists. Telling him to take a deep-breath and count to 10 didn’t work. Sitting [...]

Yarrrrr. Me thinks so.
Oh, sorry, not the type of pirate that travels the world attacking others and stealing their riches. Or is he?
Nevertheless, there is an interesting article that talks about President Bush’s iPod playlist and Boing Boing points out how he may be engaging in behavior deemed theft by the RIAA.
The president [...]

The month of music shall commence tomorrow evening! Well, for Carl, I suppose it starts tonight. You see, he is attending a Tori Amos concert… which is close to an unforgiveable act.

The Dresden Dolls, a self-described punk/cabaret band from Boston (of course), has made its first trip to the city that inspired its name. There is a nice article in the Boston Phoenix about it. Unfortunately, the band will be embarking on a tour with the NIN, which means that it will be near [...]
