Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 12:22AM Antoni Tapies passed away today (Feb. 6, 2012). Antoni is regarded as one of the best Abstract European painters of all time.......His Barcelona roots and truly unique style has influenced contemporary art for decades......notice the similarities in his work to that of Julian Schnabel.....remarkable:

Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 02:21PM Oh mane.....I gotta big confession.....Yes, I had heard of Air....however, I never really sat down and gave 'em a shot....Holy shiot Batman.....They're rad.....Their 2012 effort "Le Voyage Dans La Lune" is spectacular....My only question: "Is this album their take on the movie of the same title?"....Judging from the (horrible) album cover I'd say YES it is......Remember the tunnel in the original Willy Wonka?....Well, imagine that but instead of being jacked up on candy, you took a handful of mushrooms......mmmmmmmm mushrooms....ambient/sonic sound scape/spoken word/airy lyrics/lots 'o tangs going on...thanks for this Boseph:

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 06:20PM Oh wow...I'm about to post a jam band....NOOOOOOO!!! Well, who gives a shit....If the music is good it transcends genres.....Like every album I've ever written about....this one is spectacular.....And yes....moe. is a jam band. At this point moe. is a legendary jam band. They bring it live and i would highly recommend seeing these fine musicians in person very soon. My favorite thing about moe. is that they kill inside the studio (this is their 10th album). A majority of jam bands are often guilty of melting faces live and never quite recreating that inside the studio......moe. has a slew of rad studio albums and "What Happened to the La Las" is no different:
