60’s Cambodian Psych Garage
December 11, 2007 | 3 Comments
I came across a blog at WFMU the other day featuring a lot of pre-Khmer Rouge regime Cambodian rock music. Most of the artists are unknown and a lot of them died during the genocide. The music is interesting and definitely worth a listen if you’ve never heard Cambodian psych.
Anyways, you can download all of [...]

Do we abandon our blogs to internet obscurity? Do we continue to complain about our non-existent class and how bad we are at blogging and/or commenting?
I do not know, but this may turn into a bit of a concert review/mp3 blog. Wordpress is nice and it’s [...]

This past Saturday was the Free Store on the Third Floor on Caroline Street. It was a place where you could give the possessions that you don’t need (ie clothes, books, anything, etc.) and take what you do need. I really enjoyed the idea of the store and the turnout was pretty good with people [...]

Almost Famous/rockcritics/blahblah

Dear Rock Diary,
I watched “Almost Famous” for the first time since middle school. It’s still a great movie, but I couldn’t stop thinking about this class while watching it. It made Lester Bangs seem like such a miserable bastard, I don’t even want to imagine was James Miller was like when he was writing rock [...]

Adrian Orange and “Her Band” recap
October 28, 2007 | 3 Comments
Dear Rock Class Diary,
So the show was less than spectacular, as Adrian ended up being the opening “band”, and having to play a really short set on someone else’s guitar. He used his looping pedal for most of the guitar parts and sang from a notebook of things he had written on the train. It [...]

October 26, 2007 | 1 Comment
I think we are on our way to deciding what our class project will be, which is a good second step. The first step was deciding to start talking about the project, which eventually did happen. I am still up for doing a project about doing a project that no one actually knows what [...]
