posting over break

Well, I was hopeful that I would have my singles list ready to go before I left for christmas break (actually, okay, I didn't really think about it that much because of finals), but rest-assured, there will be a singles list! And it will be even better than last year, complete with links to download each song and links to watch each music video. And you can trust that it won't be corrupted by the sinlges lists that are coming out in other online music magazines right now, those lists suck. look for that in mid-January.

As for over break posting, i'm going to be doing a little series I'd like to call "The Music on My Family's Computer" or "Catch Dave Up With (mostly) Non-American Psych Rock." Unfortunately, I myself am not familiar with non-American psych rock. So it will really be more like a unique experience where I investigate something i have no concept of and try to write about it!

My first entry is on The Kaleidoscope and their song "The Sky Children." I don't have much to say about this song, really. It's actually not much my bag, I think it goes on for too long. But if youve hated every other song I've posted, you might enjoy this one slightly more, since I enjoy it slightly less. As for the reasons why I do sometimes listen to it, it is pretty serene and softly poppy. So if i'm not going to invest too much in actually thinking about when the song's going to end, it can be sort of relaxing. It's also highly listenable/accessible, there's no reason why anyone should find this too "noise-y" or something, which can be an occasional problem of mine with the psychotic reactions of the psych-era. Anyways, check it out, you probably won't dislike it.
