Let’s Talk About My iPod: September 20, 2007

I had a very 11 day, revisiting several albums that dominated his late mid-to-late ’90s listening. Garbage, The Ghost of Tom Joad, Passengers, a little bit of New Adventures in Hi-Fi, and a couple tunes from PopMart-era U2. I also sandwiched in some Nu-Blues songs — a meaningless term that somehow makes sense [...]

Let’s Talk About My iPod: August 14, 2007

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 [...]

Let’s Talk About My iPod: August 2, 2008

Fanboy Post #300, a major milestone. Pretty cool, huh?
As I was driving in to work this morning, I realized I had forgotten to reset my Let’s Talk About My iPod playlist on my iPod. I realized this right about the time I put Guster’s Lost and Gone Forever in my CD player to [...]

Music of the Moment: Peter Karp - Shadows and Cracks 2.0

I’m listening to Shadows and Cracks again for the first time.
I’ve gone to great lengths to express my adoration for this record, including now having spent some of my own dollars to add the album to my collection. I am listening to my very own proper copy of the album for the first time, [...]

Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is

I did it. I ordered a proper copy of Peter Karp’s Shadows and Cracks album tonight.
The copy I have at present was provided to me by a contact at Blind Pig, for which I am now deeply in her debt. Well, I’m $16.98 in debt to Amazon. Anyway, the advance copy I [...]

Let’s Talk About My iPod — July 30, 2007

I don’t know why LTAMi has been MIA for so long (that’s two abbreviations), but it’s time to bring it back ASAP (cool, three).
Today’s installment finds us revisiting the works of Brendan Benson, Peter Karp, Jimmy Burns, and some old favorites in the form of Garbage, Foo Fighters, Satriani, and Muddy Waters.

Music of the Moment: Peter Karp - Shadows and Cracks

This was supposed to be Garbage week around here, wasn’t it? It still is and we’ll be talking about Garbage later this afternoon when my package from Amazon arrives. In the meantime, a sudden change in direction can be a good thing.
Songs like “I Understand” and “The Lament” make me feel like I’m [...]

Music of the Moment: Peter Karp - “Dirty Weather”

It didn’t take long for me to come back to Peter Karp’s Shadows and Cracks. I dabbled with a little Def Leppard and Depeche Mode this morning, but I kept thinking about how I wanted to listen to this PK record. Why fight it, right?
Listening to this album has stirred an old, familiar [...]
