Speaking of random song of the day, here’s another new demo from @artfulmark.  I can’t wait for the new Artful Dodger album to drop. New Design by artfulmark

This song became more appropriate when, yesterday, I found out that my eardrum really did bust. [audio:rsotd8.mp3]

Things being tight in this economy, e & I decided not to buy anything for each other for Christmas but instead make things for each other.  The only thing I felt competent enough to make (without doing something lame like a website or a desktop wallpaper or something) was music, so I pushed out a […]

Somehow, @artfulmark aka Mark Hill aka The Artful Dodger started following me on Twitter.  This is literally the first time someone that I’m a fan of started following me instead of the other way around.  Consider my mind blown.  Possibly it has something to do with my RSotD yesterday.  At any rate, this is a […]

I know it’s out of character from my normal fare of doom and gloom music, but I just can’t help bouncing in my seat whenever I listen to anything by The Artful Dodger… [audio:rsotd6.mp3]

I’ve been listening to this album in the car.  Something about Nick Cave singing in falsetto like a southern blues singer just tickles me. [audio:rsotd5.mp3]

This Plastikman remix from @slighter makes me want to DJ again, just so I can spin a set around this sick bassline. Plastikman – Ask Yourself [Visitor Seven Remixes] by colinc

Completely bypassing #1 and 2 (since this is actually the third random song, after all), we move onto rsotd3.  This track is from when I did tech support and stumbled on an indie music site that had some free downloads.  The band is Nanang Tatang and I’ve been trying to find anything else by them […]

Continuing with the non-linear numbering system, I thought I’d include a song that sort of seemed to fit the day the other day, which planted the seed for the song of the day meme… [audio:rsotd-1.mp3]

The first of anything is always depressing.  If you never continue with whatever it is, that #1 is just staring at you, taunting.  So, I had this idea of doing a “random song of the day” thinking that it would be pretty cool, be a way to share the music I love and what I’m […]

I’ve flipped back to iTunes as my default audio player.  I was avoiding it for a long, long time for a lot of reasons but when WinAmp randomly stopped playing OGG files (which I have a lot of), and I couldn’t fix it, I installed the Xiph QuickTime Components plugin and downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  And I […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, so, with the best holiday (especially when it comes to music) coming along, it seemed the right time.  This mix is 90 minutes of spooky tracks to get your demonic groove on to. 1 – Rob Zombie, Living Dead Girl 2 – GraveDiggaz, Diary […]
