Maybe. It’s possible I just felt compelled to review Tegan and Sara’s new release from last week, Sainthood.

A little self promotion?

Filed under: FYI — alisahathaway @ 3:13 am

Not really. But I was wasting time Googling myself, and found an interesting musical endeavor born on Arcadian grounds. I was actually kind of disappointed in myself that I forgot about this…

Petition to save Fox’s Dollhouse!

Filed under: FYI — alisahathaway @ 8:16 pm

Ok, so this isn’t about music. It’s not even a review. It’s a plea to save one of the only good shows on TV – Dollhouse, created by Joss Whedon (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly fame).  The show appeared midseason this past year on a crappy timeslot (Fridays at 9 p.m.) and already has a horde of rabidly loyal Whedonites that would be devastated to see this series stilted.

Ben Folds – Way to Normal

Filed under: Pop rock — alisahathaway @ 3:58 pm

Anybody remember a little band named Ben Folds Five? I bet you do.  Ben Folds has been putting out music for fifteen years or so now, and I personally think he’s an artist that had gotten better with time.  Thought we can remember the mid-90s tunes “Brick” and “Kate” with fondness, let’s look to the present.

Georgie James – Need Your Needs Video

Filed under: Alternative — alisahathaway @ 6:21 am

Consider this more of a recommendation than a review. If you’ve ever been a fan of Mates of State, you should definitely check out Georgie James. Surprisingly enough, the folky-alt pop ensemble rose out of the ashes of one of my personal old favorites, Q and Not U, who disassembled in 2005. John David, the drummer from Q, now lends his talent to these charming tracks.
