Lost MP3 of the Week: “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”
From Ananova.com: A Bosnian couple are getting divorced after finding out they had been secretly chatting each other up online under fake names. Sana Klaric, 27, and husband Adnan, 32, from Zenica, poured out their hearts to each other over their marriage troubles, and both felt they had found their real soul mate. The couple...
Will Scorsese “Shine A Light” on The Stones?
Martin Scorsese’s films haven’t especially impressed me in the past (though I’ve only seen three), but I do enjoy “The Last Waltz,” and his attempt at making a “Last Waltz”-esque film for the Rolling Stones in “Shine A Light,” could be interesting… here’s the trailer. It’s due out next year. [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKS6tduF43E[/youtube]
Where in the World is Taylor T-Sides?
I’ve been awfully busy at work lately, which means I’ve been awful tired lately, thus the slowing down of postings. However, there are some goodies for you this week: 1. I did a Mix Six for Py Korry with the theme of “Rap… for people who don’t like rap.” It was a bit of a...
Lost MP3 of the Week: “These Days”
When I saw St. Vincent at Union Hall a couple weeks ago, I was really taken with her cover of Jackson Browne’s “These Days.” Of all the cover versions of this song, it’s unsurprisingly most akin to Nico’s, with its folky, rambling speed. Browne’s “original” — although he wrote the song, he recorded it...
Patti Smith @ Bowery Ballroom, Thursday, Apr. 24th
The line for the 10:30 Patti Smith Bowery Session (the last of three) was enormous. It curved around the corner and went around halfway around the next block. I was easily the youngest person in line. At some point, the couple ahead of me (probably also in their 20s, but definitely older than me) had...
Back in the Saddle.
Okay. You caught me. I’ve been busy. For the past month or so, my life has been consumed by my advanced photography class. We had a show last week, and I poured every free minute of my time into it. But now it’s done, which means that T-Sides is back on track. HOORAY! Luckily, this...
Lost MP3 of the Week: Gym Class Heroes, “Cupid’s Chokehold” / Supertramp, “Breakfast in America”
When I first started my blog, I sort of had delusions of grandeur. I originally started it for my friends and family. I generally have a lot of success in recommending music to people that they end up liking, and I thought of starting a blog as a way to take that success to the...
More Than A Coincidence?
As I was staring at the back of the issue of Vanity Fair with George Clooney on the cover, something struck me about the advertisement on the back cover. I can’t be the only person who thinks of this… So, tell me, friends, faithful readers & readers by chance, does the Viktor & Rolf ad...
2s-day
I wish I had a deep, intriguing reason for writing about “Fools Fall In Love” (not to be confused with “Why Do Fools Fall In Love?”), but I don’t. A couple days ago I was thinking about how movies and books about long, tumultuous romances almost always end badly, and for whatever reason, this song...
Moving!
Lil’ Kim: “Lighters Up (Welcome To Brooklyn)” (download) Maserati: “Moving With Heavy Hearts” (download) The Cars: “Moving In Stereo” (download) Hello, faithful readers! If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from me in awhile, it’s because I’m moving. I put a deposit on an apartment this past weekend, and signed the lease this week. I’m...
I Know it’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, but I Like it…
When I’m trying to recall something from my life thus far, there are generally two points of reference that I use: 1) what band I was listening to the most and 2) who I had a crush on at the time. As I’ve gotten older, it’s become harder to categorize things this way, because my...
Sorry!
Hall & Oates: “I’m Sorry” (download) Red House Painters: “I’m Sorry (John Denver Cover)” (download) I’m going to go back through my entries to add Technorati tags and category tags to each one. I apologize in advance if this screws things up for those of you who are reading T-Sides through feeds. For those of...
