If you weren’t paying close attention, you might think of “The Way You Make Me Feel” as one of Michael Jackson’s weaker, less interesting music video films.  However, this video has always interested me much more than the song alone. Everything Michael Jackson did as an adult came back to an exploration of himself, of [...]

When “Poker Face” first came out, it was “featured” on last.fm so I watched it. I thought it was really well-produced with a great video, but found the music itself totally bland and lacking any personality or redeeming value. Now, I’ve watched Lady Gaga reach impressive heights of adulation and ubiquity in a very short [...]

The excellent Daniel Isengart, performing Weimar-era cabaret numbers, Dietrich covers and bits from the Threepenny Opera at the 30th annual Museum Mile festival on 5th Avenue in front of the Neue Gallerie.

In my apparent quest to infiltrate and create a profile on every social networking website in existence, I have signed up for Amie Street.

After that, everything I [...]

In middle school, I discovered Tori Amos. (The rest of this reminisce just writes itself.) I was immediately in love. I loved her voice, her sweet and sly way of singing, the emotion her face and body communicated when she played, the totally different sound she brought a radio music scene filled with grungy guitar [...]

I realise this is about a month old but I just watched it again and my mind was re-blown. Not only is the slow piano version much more pleasant, emotional and interesting to listen to than the original (horrible and simplistic) song, but this treatment of the song and video is a painstakingly detailed and [...]

I. CANNOT. WAIT. TO. GET. OUTTA HERE. AND GO. TO. COMA.
EDIT:
In the spirit of that: Dearest neighbours…it’s nothing personal. Really, it’s not. But I am going to listen to all ten minutes of this merzbow track. No matter how many times you stamp your little feet on my ceiling.
