Confessions of a Fanboy

It didn’t take long for my #1 Album of 2007 to get dusted off in 2008!
I bought a lot of music at the end of ‘07 and wondered if that combined with a serious Beatles obsession would cause Shadows and Cracks to get sent to the bench. I have my answer.
After spending the morning […]

America is preparing to celebrate/survive Thanksgiving and Confessions of a Fanboy is ready to throw down. Bring me the finest turkeys and pumpkin pies in all the land!
I tried to think of Thanksgiving-themed songs for a Thanksgiving Day playlist, but the only song on my iPod that has the word “turkey” in it is […]

I finished my review of Oasis’ Lord Don’t Slow Me Down tour film and followed that up by downloading the digital bundle from the band’s web site.
The digital bundle is three tracks, released exclusively as downloads. “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down” was written during the Don’t Believe The Truth sessions and was reportedly left […]

I got an advance copy of the new Oasis film Lord Don’t Slow Me Down on Saturday and spent a portion of Sunday morning watching it and that got me in an Oasis mode so I listened to Don’t Believe The Truth this morning. Truth was my Album of 2005. I hadn’t listened […]

100 ball sweating degrees on a Friday morning and I have so mentally checked out, counting down the hours until the weekend begins. I put my iPod on random hoping I’d latch on to something to keep me upright for the remains of the day. It only took two songs to stumble on […]

A lot of good stuff from yesterday, beginning with the most recent addition to the collection, Dave Matthews’ Live at Radio City. From there I did another tour through the ’90s and followed that up with a short classic rock kick.

I’ve spent too much time this week watching movies and listening to podcasts and that’s why there haven’t been too many Let’s Talk About My iPod features this week. Today was more centered on music and I finally have enough songs to warrant posting one.
Obviously Luscious Jackson, Jeff Buckley, and U2 made the big […]

That Peter Karp CD has permanently wormed its way into my head and heart. I woke up this morning with “Shadows and Cracks” in my head and had to listen to a few cuts, but most of the day was spent touring the ’90s. Many of these songs are ones I listen to […]

I spent my in the ’90s today, maxing out on a lot of the ’90s alternative and grunge scene — even the Springsteen I listened to today was from the ’90s.
Very soon I’m going to have to write in depth about how much I love “My Beautiful Reward” from Springsteen’s Lucky Town CD. That […]
