The 1983 Depeche Mode Record That's Still Relevant Today

Depeche Mode, NYC, 1982 © Allan Tannenbaum In the dark of the club, I'll scroll through the voluminous list of artists contained on one of my flash drives, quickly settling on Depeche Mode. I'll scan the track list, maybe giving the choice a second or two of though before queuing "Everything...

Pete Seeger

It's the hammer of justice It's the bell of freedom It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land. I used to go to the Hudson Clearwater festival every year as a child with my mom, dad, brother and grandparents. I’m not sure if this is a real memory or not, but one...

Jeff Mangum's Ghost All Around

When I was seventeen, I was hopelessly infatuated with an eighteen-year old poetry major who scribbled Neutral Milk Hotel lyrics on various buildings throughout our college campus. While the school administration felt that he was deliberately destroying the aesthetic of our pretty liberal arts...

Giorgio Moroder "From Here to Eternity"

In honor of legendary super-producer Giorgio Moroder’s first solo track in 22 years (thanks to the fabulous Adult Swim series, no less), we put on our finest polyester pants and creepiest pornstaches to revisit his seminal 1977 album From Here to Eternity. His third solo EP and arguably most...

The Bodysnatchers' "the Boiler"

Originally I was planning on writing this week’s FlashBack Friday on The Specials’ sophomore album More Specials. I own the record on vinyl, and am more than familiar with it, but I was primed to do some research anyway. I was in the middle of reading the generic titles and associations: “2-tone...

Roy Orbison's "Mystery Girl"

Few musicians have effectively sidestepped the descent into mediocrity. Even fewer have remained truly great up until their deaths, and ascended into legends long after. Johnny Cash, Lee Hazelwood, and Lou Reed are among this musical elite. And then there’s Roy Orbison. Though most famous for...

Theme Songs From '60S TV Shows

Often very catchy, sometimes even addictive. We try our best to resist, yet find ourselves giving in. Succumbing to that higher power— that undeniable urge to sing and hum along, learning all the words or memorizing that distinct melody. Of course I’m talking about theme songs. While many of our...

Prince "Controversy"

I’d like to take us back to the Prince of old, to my favorite Prince albums and some of the most brilliantly crafted, critical, rebellious, and inspiring work of the 80s: “Controversy”.

Times New Viking's Dig Yourself

Here's what you have to know about Columbus, Ohio: it's small. There's a handful of bars everyone goes to, a handful of shows where you literally see everyone you know, and very few people stick around for more than a year or two after they graduate from CCAD or OSU (or any one of the zillions of...

"Goodnight Irene"

I woke up this morning to my first Brooklyn snow storm. After promptly deciding that I wasn’t going to leave the my apartment for at least 24 hours, I poured myself a cup of coffee, curled up next to my cat, and put on some folk music. While some children needed their blankets or teddy bears to...

Queen's "a Night at the Opera"

I have been listening to Queen ever since I can remember hearing things. The short drives to our swim practice in the summer were accompanied musically by some Queen album my mother had lying in the car. The one in particular I can recall as having stuck with me at the most susceptible time in my...

The Neptunes

In hopes that the rumored Clipse reunion circulating the blogosphere this week is for real, we’re going through the best moments in The Neptunes’ career, which now spans two decades if we consider Blackstreet’s “Tonight’s the Night” their first official gig as a production team. Chad Hugo and...
