It’s true. I go to shows like it’s my job and buy more music than most women in their late-thirties. Though not a gambler, I’d be willing to put money on it. I’ve been told more than once by the grad students in my department that they’re surprised at my age. My favorite exclamation to… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Con

Regarding modern art and MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video
We here at Knox Road talk a lot about “weird,” “bizarre” or “crazy” music videos.

But Panda Bear’s new video for the appropriately titled “Take Pills” is a even little much for me. The colors! The shapes! The backwards talking and the grasshoppers on… Continue reading New Panda Bear video: “Take Pills”
Artist sets banned records on fire and plays them. For art, duh.
Artist Brian Joseph Davis took 10 records that were once banned and set them on fire. He then played them and recorded the mess that obviously ensued. It’s actually really cool. And artsy. Definitely artsy. Check out the website for the recordings or listen to a couple below. Brian Joseph Davis – “The Beatles” [MP3] Brian Joseph… Continue reading Artist sets banned records on fire and plays them. For art, duh.
