I was looking for your heart through the flowers in the park.

I snoozed on this Cotton Jones album last year, for no other reason than that I simply lost track of the fact that it ever came out.
Now I'm revisiting it and finding it to be absolutely lovely.
Fans of Lee Hazelwood, M. Ward, Fleet Foxes, Tim Buckley, Merle Haggard, Bon Iver, etc. may want to give this a listen.

Suburban dogs are in love with their chains.

It may have made Pitchfork's #20 on Top Albums of 2009, but also I've got a friend who absolutely hates this album.
That said, I personally have to say I dig it.

They'll be playing a free show at the Brooklyn Bowl tonight.
Have a listen and decide for yourself.

What do you want to see, what did you want to be, when you grew up?

Seeing my friend Hallie, among many things, makes me think of happy, somewhat-tinged-with-melancholy, dreamy music.
The new Atlas Sound album is full of that, in spades.
Especially this track featuring Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear.

One of my favorite records of the year. Easily.
Big fan of Bradford Cox's music.
And have a listen to his Micromixes.

I get lost in them on subway rides all the time.

A little about this blog: The idea when I decided to start up this blog came simply from my all-consuming love of music and the desire to share it friends and other fans of music. Though I may post new music here, my intention isn't to simply participate in an echo chamber of music or aggregation, but rather to come at it with a strong point of view about music - my view: what is exciting to me, what I am obsessing about, what I unearth, discover or rediscover. Sometimes it is even just a way for me to document my life - to remember what a day consisted of, what I thought about, who and what I saw, how I was feeling. At the very least, I hope I might turn you onto something new, old, inspiring. And please share back with me anytime. A little about me: I am a music supervisor, DJ, director, musician, filmmaker, radio host, book publisher, independent record label owner, writer, journalist, artist, curator, futurist, photographer & producer. After living in Portland, Oregon where I worked as a Music Supervisor/Producer at Wieden + Kennedy for over 8½ years, I made the move to New York City in February 2009, where I was the Executive Music Producer at Young & Rubicam for nearly two years, before I moved again to Chicago to become the Executive Producer of Music & Creative Integration at DDB, where I am now currently working. Though my background and current status is truly rooted as an independent artist, I’ve now spent over 11½ years in the advertising industry working with such clients as Nike, Coke, Honda, Nokia, Target, ESPN, Bacardi, Budweiser, McDonald's, Gatorade, Land Rover, NASCAR, Diet Coke, NHL, Starbucks, LG, MTV, VH1, State Farm, Oreo, EA Games, Honda, Sharp, Amazon, PowerAde, Avon, Orange, Vodaphone, REI, Campbell’s, Colgate, Office Depot, Fisher Price, UPS, Bayer, Dell, etc. In the past, I have been a music supervisor on such projects as Nike SB’s first-ever skateboard movie, Nothing But The Truth, the high school football documentary TV series for Cellular South, Head To Head, the indie film, The Auteur, the surf movie, Chasing Waves and the feature-length documentaries Helvetica and its’ follow-up, Objectified. I have also directed music videos for M. Ward, Cursive and Chin Up Chin Up, as well as TV commercials for Nike. With my bands and as a DJ, I have performed nationally and internationally, including San Francisco’s MOMA, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, PICA’s TBA Festival 2004 & 2005, CMJ Festival 2008, Flux Event at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, MusicfestNW, Paris’ radio station, Radio Nova, ‘boards Awards 2009 and Barcelona’s electronic music festival, Sonar.
