The Skinny:
This morning I was listening to Hype Machine team’s “love feed” and I got the urge to drop something. Since I was at work, it was important that I could easily find some new tracks, which the Hype Machine took care of, and more importantly be able to get them back to my home […]

I have been getting a lot of traffic to this post which I originally wrote back in November of 2005. I thought I would share it again since it still works and is one of the most important digital music listening assets I have. Re-Enjoy.

For anyone who listens to mp3’s streamed from the web and […]

I am on quite a roll as of late and am lovin’ it! The Orpheum Theater in downtown Boston is spoiling me. First it was 2nd row at the Dresden Dolls last month and last night it was the 3rd row for Editors. I would like to give props to my buddy Shermadelic who was […]

First off I would like to thank my friends Tyler and Angie for the invite to this show. I have not been a big listener of the Dresden Dolls but after sitting in the 2nd row of Boston’s Orpheum Theater the other night, I can now appreciate what they offer. This self-proclaimed “Punk Cabaret” duo […]

Having a week off from work is a great thing. With the x-mas rush behind me and a lot of spare time on my hands, I am able to spend some time digging into the art of collecting vinyl. What I have found was a scene full of disparate information, a lot of dusty crates, […]

Pile of Vinyl, originally uploaded by akaraff.

With new toys comes new accessories.

As a kid of the 80’s and 90’s, I really only purchased 1 or 2 vinyl albums in my life time. My parents bought me one of those all-in-one audio systems which weighed about 3 oz., had a turntable, duel tape-decks, and AM/FM radio all in one plastic, faux mahogany veneered box. It was kick-ass […]

I spent last night jammed (well more like greased) into the seats at Somerville Theatre with some friends watching a kick ass performance by Eels. I have been a fan since their Soul Catcher and Beautiful Freak releases and was pumped that we could get our hands on some tickets at the last minute. Over […]

I am so close to being done with my move, getting used to working in a cube again, and selling my house. I hope to get back to business on some kind of regular basis very soon. For the time being this should keep you busy.
