Friday In The Land of Plenty

No vegemite sandwiches tonight. Just some New Belgium Trippel and some Boards of Canada. So, how’s everybody’s week been? I have to say that this week was a hell of a week. Every night I’ve come home I’ve felt beaten up. Work was crazy, so Friday is a welcomed thing for me. It always is, […]

jhubner73 presents: My favorite albums of 2013

It’s that time of year again where I put on my thinking cap, revisit many albums I’ve bought and listened to over the year, and figure out which ones I loved the most. This is always so hard as I know there are records I haven’t had a chance to listen to enough or didn’t […]

Twoism

This is my jam tonight. Lights down low, Christmas lights blazing in the corner of the room to give the proceedings a ethereal vibe. My wife and oldest daughter headed to the big city to do some clothes shopping while my younger two and myself stayed home. My 10 year old daughter has a head/chest […]

Thoughts for a (Black)Friday

You know, for a Black Friday it’s pretty damn beautiful out. Brisk bordering on damn chilly, but the sun is shining like the blazing star it is. Skies are blue, with a hint of purplish hue near the horizon. Trees are bare and skeletal, showing their naked winter fashion with pride as they occasionally shake […]

BoC

I’ve been trying to figure out what it is about Boards of Canada that draws me to them. I’m rather perplexed by my obsession with this band. There aren’t catchy melodies, or headbanging riffage, or even lovesick ballads. Their songs consist of breakbeats, old synths, and sampled educational films from the 60s. Why would I […]

Music Has The Right To BeyBlades

It’s a pretty brisk, rainy, gray day here in Midwest, USA. Most folks would poo poo about that, “Whaah! It’s rainy and cold. Boo hoo hoo!” Well guess what sad eyes, go change your diaper and get out of my general space. This is October in northern Indiana. If you don’t like it, go move […]

Weekend Spins

Saturday is upon us once more. I’ve spent a good portion of this Saturday in my basement like some sort of unshowered troll digging through piles of unused and unloved toys. Trash bags filled, they wait for trash day to be handled by our fine friends at Staffords Waste. Until trash day, there are other […]

Reach For The Dead…

The last couple days have been some of the most mild since spring. It’s been absolutely gorgeous out. So what do I do? I go to the gym instead of getting my cardio in the great outdoors. Oh well. The windows are open and the breeze is rolling through the house making it feel like […]

Boards of Canada-Tomorrow’s Harvest

From the opening horns of “Gemini” to the fading strands of album closer “Semena Mertvykh” there isn’t a moment on Boards of Canada’s Tomorrow’s Harvest where you wonder whose album this is. There has been a veritable silence from the direction of Scottish brothers Marcus Eoin and Mike Sandison since 2006s Trans Canada Highway ep. […]
