Lost — Season 4 Premiere, Recap

This won’t be as in depth as BTD Greg’s impressive recaps, and I’ll refrain from much commentary.  With luck, Greg will resume his rightful place as KB’s proper Lost-recapper.  What follows is a brief scene-to-scene synopsis of tonight’s hour-long premiere (that’s the first bit of news — the advertised “2-hour event” that led us to expect a 2-hour premiere was really a 1-hour recap of seasons 1-3 + a 1-hour premiere).  On to business… Read the rest of this entry

Lost – Sneak Peeks of the Season Premiere

Only 6 days to go to the new season of Lost, and just to get you a little more excited, here are 6 clips from the season opener.

2007 Movies that were Better than Michael Clayton

by Roasted Tomatoes

So, the nominations for this year’s Academy Awards were announced early this morning. The Best Picture Nominees are: Atonement, Juno, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and Michael Clayton. In one sense, this is a very good list. The Academy usually finds a way to nominate at least one horrible film, and that seems not to have happened this year. And yet… Michael Clayton?

The Bravery, Live

The Bravery 

Here’s a band you may want to check out Clark:

Every once in a while, you catch a band that seems ready to take the next big step and launch into the stratosphere. The Bravery seems like that kind of band right now. Read the rest of this entry

OK I've missed two maybe three years of music

OK, I’ve been busy. Two kids will lots of illness, tons of house repairs and starting a new business (while running the old) I’ve not had a lot of time for music. However one of my new year’s resolutions (beyond biking to work as soon as the snow eases) is to catch up on music. (And listen to it while biking to work) So here’s my question. What have I missed and what should I listen to? One I want to nab as soon as I can is the new Radiohead album. What else?

Way over yonder in the minor key

I want to make a mix of songs in a minor key for a road trip to Vegas next week. Any suggestions?

I’ll post a couple to the radio.blog that I *think* are in a minor key. Correct me if I’m wrong:

“Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key” – Billy Bragg and Wilco featuring Natalie Merchant
“Gold Dust Woman” – Fleetwood Mac

The Damnwells – New Songs

Alex Dezen of The Damnwells has written some new songs and, as always, they’re completely fantastic. I hope they make it onto a new Damnwells album. Here’s one symptom of what’s wrong with the music business: The Damnwells are not as successful as bands with half the talent they have. If you love these guys as much as I do, pass the word, and buy their albums: Bastards of the Beat and Air Stereo.
