The Metal/Punk Continuum: Bye Bye Pleasant Street Video
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2011/06/bye-bye-pleasant-street-video.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Bye Bye Pleasant Street Video. Much ink has been spilled (figuratively) in recent years about how the doldrums of the music industry have meant the veritable death knell of the local record store. Thing is, in the peculiar place where I reside, you'd hardly know it. Sure, we lost one longstanding member of the record store fraternity in recent years - Dynamite Records, RIP.

The Metal/Punk Continuum: November 2010
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Monday, November 22, 2010. Keith Richards' Race Thing. My book on the history of the electric guitar, Instruments of Desire. I'm now in the midst of reading Keith Richards' new autobiography, Life. All of which is mere prelude to a more extended riff by Richards concerning the wonders of a Mississippi juke joint for a group of white, blues-worshiping Brits. Richards' words here are worth quoting at length:. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Tom Hull: The Best Jazz Albums of 2014
http://tomhull.com/ocston/nm/notes/eoyjazz-14.php
Notes on Everyday Life. No More Mr Nice Blog. The Best Jazz Albums of 2014. This file is frozen as of January 31, 2015. Additional finds up to December 31, 2015 can be found in colored type here. Year after year I present my year-end lists as just that: long, mind-numbing lists like I use every day to keep track of the current year (e.g., 2014. Etc) Other people's lists often have cover scans and brief write-ups, and it occurred to me that I have all that. Why not just table it up? None of the five horn ...

http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Monday, October 25, 2010. Here's the thing - because there's gotta be a thing right? Wind ensemble, and the many a capella singing groups. So where did I fit in? Does this sound as weird as I think it does? Boston · Long Time. Explore more music videos. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The State of the Record Industry.

Il Buono: August 2011
http://ilbuono.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. My Favorite Things (8/20). Perhaps this is a feature that will pop up with some frequency on Il Buono, but I don't want to make any promises, because broken promises are disappointing, and I don't want to disappoint my legions of faithful readers. Anyways, here's some great music (listed in alphabetical order). Autechre - Tri Repetae. Bob Dylan - "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright". Bobby Beausoleil and The Freedom Orchestra - Lucifer Rising OST. Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings.

Il Buono: October 2011
http://ilbuono.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 4, 2011. My Favorite Acts at ATP. So I went to ATP Asbury Park a.k.a. All Tomorrow's Parties a.k.a. I'll Be Your Mirror a.k.a. whatever on Saturday. It was unbelievable. Best festival I've attended. I don't want to write much on account of I'm currently taking a break from an Iliad. 1 Portishead (pictured above). 3 The Pop Group. I had kind of forgotten how much I love The Pop Group until about ten minutes before their set. And then I was like, "The band that made Y. Like I said, my comp...

http://ilbuono.blogspot.com/2012/10/2012-later-on-in-year.html
Monday, October 1, 2012. 2012 Later on in the Year. This blog has changed. In past years, it was a place for the frequent posting of great music. Now, I awake from hibernation, every so often (a.k.a. very rarely), to make a dumb little list of my favorite things, devoid of any academia or insight. But that's how I like it lol! Actress - R.I.P. Angel Olsen - Half Way Home. Bits of Shit - Cut Sleeves. Blanche Blanche Blanche - Wink With Both Eyes. Carter Tutti Void - Transverse. Chromatics - Kill For Love.
