Boston Through My Eyes - A Boston Music Blog: Boston Calling: Day 1 - Thoughts & A Few Photos:

The weather was less than ideal, with a constant mist of rain throughout the day. But that didn’t stop people from coming out, and more importantly, having a good time.

From what I saw, everything seemed to go pretty smoothly. The lines for beer, food, and bathrooms were fairly reasonable, and I…

Hi Austin. Fuck SXSW. There… I said it.

Here, the music comes last. 5 minute set-up, no sound check, 15 minute set. The “music” element is all a front, it’s the first thing to be compromised. Corporate money everywhere but in the hands of the artists, at what is really just a glorified corporate networking party. Drunk corporate goons and other industry vampires and cocaine. Everyone is drunk, being cool. “Official” bureaucracy and all their mindless rules. Branding, branding, branding. It’s bullshit… sorry.

Brian Wood: 2012 - The Work-Obsessed Overview

Brian Wood: 2012 - The Work-Obsessed Overview:

brianwood:

I did this a couple years ago, where I look at the number of comic pages written and brutally assess my own self-worth. Two years ago, my last full year of writing for DC Comics, I churned out 880 pages of comics and declared that to be Good. This year, 2012, I did 1198. If I can write one more…

If I ever feel like I’ve got too much work to do, I just think of Brian Wood, and then I feel better.

eceu:

Elliott Smith, Live at Sam Bond’s Garage, 9.25.96

He was at his best, or at least right up near it, at this show. A year or so before Good Will Hunting made him a bit more known, before the Oscars, before Dreamworks, before everything else, there was this: a guy, his guitar, and a handful of some of the finest songs ever written.

In honor of the still unbearably sad anniversary of his passing, nine years ago this week, take a long listen and realize all that was lost when he left the world on October 21, 2003.

Set List:

Clementine
Roman Candle
Some Song
No Confidence Man
Big Decision
Condor Ave
Division Day
Angeles
Antonio Carlos Jobim
(talking, re: Xena the Warrior Princess)
Between the Bars
See You Later
Thirteen

Brian Wood: The New Northern Boy:

brianwood:

From 2003-2007 I ran a little t-shirt business called Northern Boy. I designed touristy style tees based on places I knew and loved.

I’m bringing it back, but with a new spin. But first things first: tomorrow I’ll be opening the Northern Boy (and Girl!) store with an ultra limited edition…

kellysue:

I know LICENSE TO ILL isn’t going to get a lot of love today, it’ll be overshadowed by masterworks like PAUL’S BOUTIQUE and HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE. And that cool; that’s great. That’s as it should be. Probably the thing about the Beastie Boys that have most enjoyed has been watching them age, as artists and as men, with real grace. And I guess that’s the loss that I’m feeling right now—the end of the opportunity to continue to be witness to that evolution. That feels like a vacuum. That feels like theft.

So, while we are sifting through our collections trying to fill that void, I’m going to hit LICENSE TO ILL. Yes, it’s a record made by a bunch of asshole kids. At a certain point in my life—when *I* was an asshole teenager, not coincidentally—I could not get enough of it. It’s smells that we most often talk about being tied to memory, but the opening beats of She’s Crafty take me back so specifically to a time and place… the house we rented on Tejas. My job at Video Update. The Robs, the Jeffs. The Andys. All the stupid, stupid shit Amity and I got into that I am, quite frankly, surprised we lived through.

It was a long way from the best time in my life—it was dizzyingly uncomfortable at best—but I still hold those memories dear. Dearer for the distance, but still. I can recall without reliving and find moments, sensations to love.

I listen to LICENSE TO ILL and I remember just what it felt like to get f**ked up and scream like a madwoman at the stars in the Texas big sky. It felt glorious.

For that, and for all the rest, I am grateful. Thank you, MCA.

Before I heard this, I thought the world didn’t need another “Rainbow Connection” cover. The wonderful TJO proves me wrong…

Tara Jane ONeil - “Rainbow Connection” PREMIERE

TJO is one of my personal favorites (have you ever seen her play live?? It’s life changing) and I am in love with her new 7”, out May 22nd.

In a surprisingly sweet pop tribute, she plays “Rainbow Connection,” a song we all innately know from our youth, and a song she considers to be the unofficial gay anthem of the US. Actually, I remember sitting on a cold basement floor not long ago singing along with three dozen people as TJ performed this rendition live.

Everytime I hear this song I think “Yes, I do still believe in magic. I do.” It’s like being a six year old star gazer all over again.
