The Futureheads - "Meantime"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 20:00:00 -0800

The Futureheads - "Meantime" - The Futureheads [right click the blue stuff] I really wanted to post a song that epitomizes going out. I'm not so sure this is the epitome of "going out," however I am certain that it does an accurate job of desc...

Third Eye Blind - "Slow Motion"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 20:00:00 -0800

Third Eye Blind - "Slow Motion" - Blue [right click, tie dinosaur...] Listen to the lyrics. The first time I heard this song, I was getting plastered with my buddy Tyler Snow. We used to have the occasional party at Tyler's house in high scho...

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:00:00 -0800

Built To Spill - "Distopian Dream Girl" - There's Nothing Wrong With Love [right clicky!] Inspired by . . . well, a trip to my old station. So, some may know that I was in Seattle over the past weekend. I didn't have internet access, and in t...

Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 23:19:19 -0700

Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes" - So I think I might go as Lloyd Dobler for Halloween this year. Peter Gabriel's career may have hit an apex with this album. "Sledgehammer" (and that video!), "Big Time," "Red Rain," and "In Your Eyes" are a mur...

Pixies - "Gigantic"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 21:51:56 -0700

Pixies - "Gigantic" - Surfer Rosa I have seen this performed live on, um, three occasions, I think. Only one time was I fortunate enough to see Kim Deal sing and play this sexiest of sexy ditties. It's very voyeuristic, this song. You see, it...

Mon Frere - "Y.M.M.W.D.S.B"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 22:14:32 -0700

Mon Frere - "Y.M.M.W.D.S.B." - Blood, Sweat & Swords Seattle has found it's newest Kim Deal (good looking, great voice, plays a sexy instrument), and I'd say she is more than a little pissed off. Okay, let's begin with the ridiculously addicti...

Rage Against The Machine - "War Within A Breath"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 20:40:56 -0700

Rage Against The Machine - "War Within A Breath" - The Battle Of Los Angeles If your speakers are not dangerously close to blowing, your eyes not dangerously close to tears, your ire not close to full, you need to re-evaluate how you listen to t...

Voxtrot - "Long Haul"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 20:35:58 -0700

Voxtrot - "Long Haul" - Raised By Wolves [EP] Currently, my favorite song to hear when I wake up. In an earlier Ghost, I noted that Al Green's "Love and Happiness" was my ringtone for non-related callers bestowed with two X-chromosomes. Curr...

The Von Bondies - "C'mon C'mon"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 21:52:47 -0700

The Von Bondies "C'mon C'mon" - Pawn Shoppe Heart A simple and addictive surf rock-inspired riff. The thing that is most often overlooked is the buried guitar playing fills in the background. This is one of my favorite production tricks. As a...

Nirvana - "On A Plain"

nobody@vox.com(Hoffie) — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 23:08:46 -0700

Nirvana - "On A Plain" - Nevermind It's all about me. Not the song. This song is obviously about the man who wrote it. But there are certain truths which we can glean from its words. I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so wh...
