Into the West
As Bilbo Baggins once spoke in Rivendell,
The Road goes ever on and onOut from the door where it began.Now far ahead the Road has gone,Let others follow it who can!Let them a journey new begin,But I at last with weary feetWill turn towards the lighted inn,My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
Though it isn’t something I am happy to do, I believe it’s time for me to turn towards the...

Video | Jules and Jim :: Leaving Home/Going Home
I’m going home in a few weeks. It’s been a long vacation here doing work. I forgot as much as I learned, but maybe can find some contentment in finding the “origin” of something I discovered a year ago today.
Jules and Jim, the foundation of what we today call jj. There were three.
Three.

Video | Diamond Messages :: Liquid Summer
Diamond Messages is the solo work of Jason Craig, who recently revived the once-duet to release the four-song Smoke & Mirrors EP on Spontaneous Rhythm. “Liquid Summer” is a distant, twinkling white dwarf - its fuel long since exhausted, shining on as a brilliant diamond in the night sky. You can watch the video for the EP’s title track here, and purchase the Smoke &...

Video | World Tour :: Sparks (Demo)
I’ve always wanted to go on a World Tour, to venture through distant woods and valleys, and now with this spark lit, I feel like I just might go.
“We would like to show you some pictures, a few notes and some visions. “Sparks” is a story about dreaming, defying death and fighting the darkness. About the belief of beginning something new and a reliance on your...

Watch Iron and Wine :: Upward Over the Mountain (Live at Variety Playhouse)
I had the chance to see Iron and Wine last night. The whole show was too much of a jam session for me, but fortunately he played my favorite song alone, acoustically, and it was wonderful. Watch (most of) it above.

Video | Mickey Mickey Rourke :: Glo
Though I somehow completely missed Mickey Mickey Rourke’s third album, Inner Gazing, I’m not about to let his upcoming Magic User LP pass me by. It will be the fourth full length he’s released under the MMR moniker this year, not to mention his work with Lester Brown. Now, perhaps to commemorate this lofty achievement, sole-member Miller Rodriguez had this woodsy video made...

Memoryhouse :: Heirloom
Though they have yet to release a full-length album, Memoryhouse have been taking us by storm, and with good reason. With “Heirloom,” the b-side to their upcoming Caregiver 7”, the Canadian duo continue to impress with their remarkably warm, crisp vocals and textures. It makes me feel like I’m laying next to a window with the blinds half drawn, the sunlight peaking...

Science Fiction Fantasy :: Best of Luck, Never...
This rainy day space adventure from Philadelphia’s Science Fiction Fantasy is of such intricacy that it’s size exceeds my upload limit, but this 12 minute long track is well worth a post. ”Best of Luck, Never Change” is taken from SFF’s debut two-track EP, available digitally on his bandcamp and physically next month on Philly cassette label Treetop Sorbet.
