Cold Roses

Posted on Thursday 28 April 2005

I just finished listening to Ryan Adams new double album “Cold Roses”, and I’m really really impressed. I can’t believe how much I liked it on the first listen alone. It comes out next Tuesday (May 3rd), if you’ve got an extra $10, I recommend putting it towards this.

This spoon is private…

Posted on Wednesday 27 April 2005

Thanks to Brad at WMAD I’ll be hitting up the private Spoon concert at the Annex on May 8th. I can’t wait to see this band. I’m really digging the new album, and can’t wait for it to come out.

some excitement…

I’ve been asked, and have accepted an offer to be a music writer for the Madison based blog Dane 101. I look forward to working with the folks at Dane 101, and I hope you enjoy all my contributions. I’ll keep you posted.

In other news I added my 1700th cd to my collection today:

Bruce Springsteen – Devils & Dust

Then promptly started on my way to 1800 with:

Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an “Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order” sign, just “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.”

I’ve updated the Now Playing section and made a few changes to the layout in order for you to easily check out the artists website, and head over to Amazon if you’re interested in purchasing anything.

Freshwater Collins in Madison

Posted on Saturday 23 April 2005

A really great band is coming to Madison direct from Milwaukee, Freshwater Collins. I’ve been blessed to watch these guys grow as musicians since my days in college at UWM, they are one of the best live acts out there in my opinion. They’ve got some tracks from their fourthcoming album on their myspace site (you have to be a member to listen to them).
