On my quest to understand Loveless I read the book in the 33 1/3 series written by Mike McGonigal.I have previously read two other books in this series, one written about Ok Computer while the other writen about Daydream Nation.Each title is written by a different author and has a different feel to it. The author who wrote the book about Daydream Nation, Matthew Stearns, describes the album in

I am going to be 100% honest right now- I do not get the hype behind this album.Maybe its because of the fact that I was about five years old upon its release and spent my years of discovering music hearing bands that have played off and evolved their musical style. I think I have listened to the album start to finish only once (though as I type this I am playing through it again so by the time I

Basically this mix was created to A.) Relax to B.) Study to C.) Read to, or hell even D.) Fall asleep to. I kinda threw it together like nothing, basically thinking of Instrumental(/Post-Rock/Whatever the fuck genre you want to put them in) bands and picked some songs by some of them. Of course the songs these bands can write sometimes end up very long, but I feel that this is better for the

Tonight I got the random idea to interview my good freind Rebecca Merker, but better known as Bex. Lucky for me she's crazy just like me and thought it was a grand idea. So here is our interview, we touch on things such as music, style, and swallows. Also, she thinks that I have fans.Ruben: Hello Bex how are you tonight?Bex: I am doing pretty well, I am drinking some milk.2%?Yes actually

I realized that after I had scanned these all onto my computer that I don't quite like the way scanned photos look.My idea for this was to go out to a park with one of my shitty sony 90 minute cassette tapes, take pictures of it, smash it up, and take more pictures of it.The one thing I was curious about was how some things would turn out because I was using black and white film. At the end of

I have a name for the mix this time, how neat right? This mixtape mre or less focuses on a more relaxed sound using Indie and Electronic bands. The total running time of the two sides together is a little under an hour, mainly because I finally found hour long cassette tapes (thank you wallgreens). The title "Enternal Summer" comes from the feeling that this tape is great to just go for a nice

This tape was a pain in the ass for me, and honestly I have no idea why. Maybe it was because I had such a set mindframe on how I wanted the tape to sound It took me a while to figure out what bands and songs to use (hell, one track I spent an hour going through various bands and songs because i needed a song to go in a certain spot and be a certain length.) I'll also toss blame onto the fact

Back in high school I had a job, I was the attendant at a little gas station, the only times we were really ever busy was on holiday weekends, during the summer, and during the winter. I lived in a little small mountain town that people would only come up to go to the lake, or to go to the ski resorts. In the little booth I sat in there wasn't much to do other than A.) Homework B.) Read C.)
