Thursday, July 3, 2014. Blaue Augen": A Brief History. In the continued spirit of trying something different. Neonbabies – "I Don't Want to Loose You" (sic) EP]. I first encountered the original EP version on the Verschwende deine Jugend. It's worth taking a look at the lyrics. Again, the original features the best variation, but they're all similar. A translation of Ideal's version can be found here. Alongside the German text), but I will provide my own translation of the original Neonbabies text. In tr...

Patrick's Music Reviews: The Music Game
http://patricksmusic.blogspot.com/p/the-music-game.html
The Music Game is a great little way to spend/waste your time and challenge your knowledge of music trivia. While perhaps best enjoyed as a group, it certainly works individually as well. The idea, design, and code are from The Film Walrus. It was originally derived from his own Movie Game. Jim Sabo and I contributed a large number of the cards, and I'm sure a few other people I've since forgotten have contributed ideas as well. PS My original introduction to the game can be found here. Fun Fun Fun Fest.

http://patricksmusic.blogspot.com/2015/06/other-lives-riothorse-royale-dark-rooms.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. Other Lives / Riothorse Royale / Dark Rooms - Live 2015.06.11. I first caught wind of Other Lives when I saw them open for Radiohead. In 2012. They were one of the best opening acts I've ever seen, and when I bought their then-latest album Tamer Animals. I was not disappointed. Somehow I'd missed that they just put out a new album in May of this year, but I did at least hear about this show. Location: Austin, Texas. Date: 11 June 2015. Opening Acts: Riothorse Royale, Dark Rooms.
