My Top 5 Weekly Last.fm Artists:
Cloud Nothings (117), The National (48), The Dodos (48), Broken Social Scene (47) & Jeff The Brotherhood (35) http://bit.ly/hPH07T Wow.

Also, indicates a lot of time spent in front of the...

Alcoholic Faith Mission - My Eyes To See First time hearing this band. My ears really like - particularly the cinematic opening, the build up and the vocals. Video is beautifully shot and it’s a fantastic concept.  Must find out more about this band. starsareshiningbright: Alcoholic Faith Mission - My Eyes To See Alcoholic Faith Mission is a Danish band and they’ll attend the SXSW...

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual,...

Via @pitchfork “The video for Sleigh Bells‘ Treats standout “Rill Rill”, directed by Jon Watts, just debuted on MTV, and it’s suitably cool and creepy. Blood pours from telephones, switchblades are used as accessories for yearbook photos, and Derek Miller gets pushed out of a moving car. Fun for the whole family! Watch it below.” Enjoyable video. Alexis Krauss...

That Age...
when you don’t want to celebrate your birthday anymore. I’ve reached it. You know, you just kind of accept it and move on… Well, I’m looking forward to going home to a quiet evening of tunes, a good movie or book and a full night of sleep. And I don’t find that depressing at all.

Turn Your Music Reco's Into A Playlist →
I realize a lot of us are already doing this via Streampad (or through another vehicle) but this is UBER COOL. Elegant interface, simple to use and a player that acts much more like the music players we’re used to (i.e. iTunes). Functionality includes shuffle, repeat, buy, direct links to your blog post, scrolling through every mp3 you’ve ever posted, etc. My (Indietunes) turntable. I...

Have to get this off my chest. I understand we all have the right to bear arms. I respect that right. I don’t, however, understand the need for high capacity magazines. Not for hunting, not for target shooting and not even for self defense. If, for self defense purposes, you can’t hit an assailant with 10 - 15 slugs you really aren’t much of a shooter. I would suggest target...
