Borracho Loves Sno Cones... Oh Yeah, You're Feelin' Me (12/14/2007)

Interesting start to the day there, but it soon leveled out into some old favorites:

• Splashdown - Beguiled (Another one of those semi-obscure bands I like to listen to...)


• Mae - March Of The Pigs (Fairly straight forward cover of Nine Inch Nails. Won't make you forget the original, but how many NIN covers do?)


• Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop (Heh, total old school...)


• Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own (You know, I don't mind Winehouse's voice, but her songwriting just seems kind of... lacking[?])


• Nada Surf - Your Legs Grow (It's to remember sometimes that music like this came from the guys that gave us "Popular"...)


• The White Stripes - I'm Slowly Turning Into You (Ah, the Stripes. Excellent way to tie this up before a long day at the grindstone...)

Inside Of 27: The Trilogy (Part 1)

Well, it's coming up on the end of the year, and I have yet to put my annual "best of" together. In the meantime, I thought it prudent to share three mixes that I put together over the course of this past year. Taken together they form the soundtrack that has carried me through the year, touching on moments both endearing and best left in the past. I will be featuring this trilogy over the coming week, and to kick things off is a remnant of last New Year's...

Albums In The Day: The Records Of My Life - Pt. 47

And... it's back! Albums In The Day lives, and (hopefully) we can keep chugging along this time...


Gravity Kills - Gravity Kills (1996)

It's hard for me to listen to Gravity Kills and not think of David Fincher's classic film Se7en, which featured GK's first single "Guilty" quite prominently. Granted I was more intrigued by the remix of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" that played over the opening credits of that movie, but the mood and edge of "Guilty" fit in rather well with the gritty noir feel of the movie, especially with Kevin Spacey's "John Doe" character. After months of being inundated with "Guilty" on the radio and MTV GK finally released their first full length, and for the most part did not disappoint. While some may have found the mock industrial stylings of GK and Stabbing Westward to have been far too lame and opportunistic in light of all the press and popularity NIN was enjoying at the time, I thought they did a pretty damn decent job making angry synth-driven growlers that all them angsty kids (myself included) could rock out to. Nothing revolutionary, but effective nonetheless.

Give it a try:
"Guilty"
"Blame"
"Enough"
"Goodbye"
"Hold"
