Apple launched their iTunes Match service in the US back on November 14 and I signed up shortly thereafter. I’ve read some mixed reviews since then, some of which have been pretty negative, but my experience has been very positive so I thought I’d put up a post with my experience using the service for the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was talking to my roomate the other day, and he mentioned Toad the Wet Sprocket was playing a gig in Northern Virginia. This already happened, and alas I missed it. But on a lark I thought I’d check out their web site today to see if they were going to play any more local […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There isn’t much of a purpose to this entry, except to say that I really think the Music Choice selection of digital music channels that come bundled with pretty much any digital cable or satellite television plan are under-appreciated.

This is exciting news. The Sisters of Mercy are playing at the 9:30 Club in DC on March 7. I had no idea they were even touring. I have purchased my tickets, I suggest you all snap them up before they sell out. I wouldn’t hold my breath that they come around again any time […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
his mother was a secretary, I think. her father a rapist. OK, this might be slightly incriminating, but I downloaded a ton of nomeansno albums the other day. Now, IN MY DEFENSE, I owned every single one of them on CD and they all got stolen out of my storage space in California. And I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So I’m not much for goth clubs, in general, but I just happened to go to The Birthday Massacre’s web site today to find their management contact info, and lo and behold apparently they are going to be at Alchemy at Nation in DC on December 29. I may very well have to go to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
