my favorite song this week

2007-04-09T04:23:38Z

I love covers. It's nothing against the originals, but I like to see what someone else's take is on a song that's already familiar to me. Sometimes it fails miserably, sometimes it's equally brilliant. This hip-hop version of Wham's "Careless W...

QotD: First Signs O' Spring

2007-03-24T02:35:47Z

What, to you, is the first sign of spring? Have you seen it yet? Submitted by Spy. Well, since I live in Chicago, where the weather is hardly different until at least April, I'd say it would have to be that bands start touring again. In fact, ...

snowed in

2007-02-14T06:54:57Z

We got about a foot of snow today in Chicago. This is the first time I've ever had a gig cancelled due to weather. A wise move on Neo's part, though, as obviously no one was going to come out in this to hear power noise and industrial on a Tuesd...

QotD: Repeat After Me...

2007-02-13T07:00:54Z

How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound? Submitted by Lorie. For some reason, that Q throws everyone off, and they just sort of stare at it blankly. They don't really pronounce it wrong, because most don't even...

the exhausting life of a dj, part two

2007-01-26T06:30:35Z

I must be sick. I'm in my apartment, which, this time of year, is typically a balmy 80-90ºF [overactive radiators], and I'm freezing. Shivering, bundled up, sneezing every five minutes. I'm djing in St Louis tomorrow night. Before I leave in se...

WTF is wrong with Apoptygma Berzerk?!

2007-01-21T03:56:58Z

I haven't posted on this thing in a while, but I'm back to bitch. I've been going through ALL of my music this weekend, and it's a huge pain in the ass, not to mention sort of enlightening [apparently I do have Psyclon Nine, and there are remixes...

2006-12-10T01:38:59Z

What are your superstitions? Submitted by lazywong. I would tell you that I don't believe it, but I still do not listen to the band's cd before the show.

QotD: This Song Makes Me Festive

2006-12-04T08:15:08Z

What song gives you the most holiday cheer? Submitted by Roxy. I generally find all holiday songs horribly annoying, save for the below mentioned Apologetix "Have Yourself A Parody Little Christmas," my favorite of which is a Santa-themed rewo...
