yukimi nagano is my black hole of sound

In Music on 6 August 2008 with 2 comments

Every summer there is that one song by a female vocalist that I want to put on repeat and listen to till the sun comes up. Usually songs I sort of stumble on by happenstance at live shows, soundtracks to films or shows I love and friendly recommendations.
Near the end of May papa blazey [...]

I’m not usually a musical bully. I don’t usually say, hey listen to my music because its so fantabulous that it’ll blow you’re mind. Usually musical experiences are so objective anyway, what one person loves because they listened to it while slow dancing at prom another person will inadvertently hate. (And really can’t we [...]

We’re late.
Summertime was the perfect theme because that’s what happened to all of us: we got caught up in a little too much summer fun and dropped the ball (Liz tried to no avail reigning it back in.)
But…as I say better late than never. Round 4 of the exchange. Well worth the wait.

George | Summertime [...]

Lets get nasty people.
The exchange is back once again, and I’m late on my posting due to my health. This weeks theme: touch. Our freakiest freak nasty songs. Or as Liz says, songs that make you want to reach out and touch that special someone. Obviously some of us are, ahem, a little more [...]

All this funny business with the exchange has me sifting through my music collection, listening to new and old favorite love jammies, r&b joints and everything in between. And who doesn’t love love, right?
In the spirit of sharing, and because I’m too lazy to gather 12 tracks to make another mux, I’ll post a few [...]

I made a playlist on Monday, because it was 95 degrees and I needed to hear music that reminded me of ice cream.
Happy summering.

I’d recently began to think of musical assimilation and was trying to find the context to write about it in, the process by which people begin to slowly influence one another’s musical taste and broaden their musical horizons. Especially when they happen to be people with whom we communicate largely through the internet. But then [...]

Muxing it Up

I’ve finally joined the rest of the digital world (it always takes me a while) and created a muxtape.
Without much ado: the teeny mix mux.
