okay - so that band THE BLACK KIDS - who less than 10 days ago were just a local young band from FL w/ a myspace page - well they got a great review on Pitchfork last week and today it’s reported that they are now [...]

Found this quote from my journal about the very first radio show I ever did:
oh gosh, what a frightening experience of a radio show today. too many PSAs, not enough time to pick out records - but the rush! so good.
Today. 6-8PM. WPRB.com or 103.3 FM. Listen today and make a donation — support the [...]

Bonus Round of HJ on WPRB

Posted by: mts In: live| music| self promotion| wprb 2007

This Thursday 6-8PM EST, instead of being “on-air talent”, I’ll be DJing a show on WPRB. Very excited about this! If you missed out on donating today, you’ve got a second chance.
In addition to WPRB’s incredible pledge gifts, I have a specialty thank you for becoming a member: donate 103.30$, you can receive your very [...]

To borrow from the James McNew/Dump album, a plea for tenderness, folks: WPRB is quickly approaching on its inaugural membership drive, and please, I hope you’ll consider making a pledge.
Read on for details!

I Can Has Opinion On Popular Culture

Posted by: mts In: internet| music

From the “Right Place, Right Time” department: I’ve chimed in on the so-called Meg White sex tape for Idolator.
But while I’m here, I just want to give a shout out to Idolator, who celebrates their first year of existence in the music blog world. Maura and Jess (and previously Brian, too) have done a great [...]

In lieu of asking the age-old question, “Why?”, here is what they call “content”:
» Mission:300 was awesome, I managed to bowl one decent game, and then someone committed a serious party foul. Not the first time for this particular dude, either. Y’know, I happen to like a lot of graffiti and find the subculture fascinating. [...]

From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing

Posted by: mts In: live| local| music

Sunday night, I could have gone to the Acid Mothers Guru Guru show — which I’m sure was amazing, given the nature of the collaboration — or I could have checked out Samara Lubelski at Big Jar — considering how much her new record rules, would have been great. But the idea of standing around [...]

Back To School, Goodbye To You

Posted by: mts In: local| music

Yes, yesterday I had my first official school day and it was awesome. I can feel my neurons and synapses waking up from the long slumber called the past six years. Last night, I decided to go matriculate myself (not as dirty as it sounds) by indulging in a bit of pop music nerdery: karaoke! [...]

My life has been on a good streak lately, so there’s no real reason to clog it up with negativity, but these things I’m about to tell you, well, they gnaw and pick away at the very fabric of my soul….
The Italian Market = Ethnic Cuisine Amateur Hour
Over the weekend, I went to every store [...]

I’m Not Unfaithful, But I’ll Stray

Posted by: mts In: music

I received an advance of the new Aesop Rock album yesterday. My copy has my name written all over it and is watermarked digitally. No biggie.
The sound “sc” makes in Italian isn’t used frequently in the English language (Italians don’t use Y, so whatever, it’s a fair trade, I guess), so how are people [...]
