06.25.08Wednesday Was A Good Day: Ivan Colón’s “Gabriel” Brightens The Corners.It's awkward, right? I just sit here and listen to new music and tell you what I dig and why. Usually, it's nothing more than I hear something and I just want to hear it over and over again for a while. I'm not a complicated dude, really. In the case of Ivan Colón, I'm thrilled in the discovery of another wonderful little song that is just peeking up over the ground. You see, there's welcome hints of Donovan and Sufjan Stevens shining through every note of the song "Gabriel". I don't mind that ...

06.25.08Loudersoft Recommends: David Ford’s “Requiem” Is A Song Whose Time Has Come.I normally shy away from reviews of artists whose sound follows so clearly in the paths of (and occasionally closely resembles) those of others whom I enjoy -- namely Bruce Springsteen, Conor Oberst, Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, Damien Rice and the like. I was sent a press reminder about David Ford's terrific release Songs For The Road and had a chance to listen through the album. While I was listening I was stopped dead in my tracks by the next-to-last song on the record, entitled "Requiem" -- a completely appropriate companion to the annals of historically great protest ...

06.24.08Kanye West Speaks Out About His Lateness At Bonnaroo | Pearl Jam, Festival Organizers Blamed For Delays"JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, 'KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.' CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????" To the best of my knowledge, nobody with any sense is ever going to say that, and for the record I'm pretty sure Kanye West wants to give the best performance every time he takes the stage. Being on top of the world of music, there's nothing but people trying to come down on you and, and people will take any opportunity to lash out at you when you're flying high. ...

06.22.08Everything I want to say to Kanye West right now about whatever — He doesn’t even read my blog.So listen, Ye. First off, I would bet you don't read blogs and, most likely, you don't read mine. That's okay with me. I am just another fucking fan out there who lost his cool after being up all night. I was tired and cranky last week. I want to apologize for being a dick. I admit that my comments were pretty harsh on you about what went down at Bonnaroo. I sent my Idolator update on the morning after it happened, four or five hours sleep after the fact, so I was ...

06.19.08Loudersoft readers are asking: “Where’s your Bonnaroo 2008 Coverage?”The next time one of your blogger friends tells you that "blogging aint easy", take their word for it and give them a hug.
