hiatus
Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts and if you've submitted to Analog Scene; I'm sorry for not getting back to you.
After the deletion of all the mp3s I was a little discouraged at this whole mp3 blog thing and now that I'm out of school for a bit until early next …

bad news and good news
Hi everyone!
The bad news is our server got fried since we switched to a high bandwidth server. What this means is that mostly all of the mp3s prior to today have been deleted. I'm so sorry! It's been a stressful evening because of it.
The good news is that Analog Scene …
a heater that doesn't work and a copyright solution that might
I reside in a college dorm room. In this dorm it's really cold at the moment. Why? Because some idiots in maintenance forgot to check out our room's heater before approving it at the beginning of this year. They'll get theirs, I assure you.
So what's going on this …

be alright
The Postal Service is famous for their amazing pop electronica sensations but a lot people never took the name as literally as they should have. Jimmy Tamborello would send produced tracks to Ben Gibbard and then Gibbard would add vocals and send them back. Taking this …

urlich schnauss and i
I was going to write about how genius Radiohead is for eliminating the record industry as a middle man, but what else can be said about that? Instead, I'm going to talk about Ulrich Schnauss. This guy pleases me in ways that I only thought that Boards of Canada and The …

pomegranates are good for you!
Infectious indie pop. Three words I love to write when I'm writing about a band. The Cincinnati-based Pomegranates produce infectious indie pop and even though pomegranates are supposed to promote healthy immune systems, I've caught their virus.
Okay, so that was a …

hippodromez and strawberriez
The Hippodrome is a site ran by my homeboy, Ben. The idea behind it is to post solely about unsigned bands and some of the mad shit they end up posting about is just so ridiculously good that it's surprising to find out they don't have a label. It blew my mind when I …

political life and the velvet teen
Perhaps I have too many college related posts but it's such a huge part of my life, it's hard not to write about it. Especially Political Life. It's a horrible class, the teacher's accent is hard to understand, her voice monotone, the material dry. But alas, I don't …

my heart in a headlock
Lyrics are pretty nonsensical, contextual and objective things most of the time. I think the English language can only handle so many rearrangements of words and sentence structures to try and get the exact same point across. The Feeling have semi-original lyrics but …

the phone call ended in such a way...
Adolescent love is a thing of beauty and confusion. We've all been there and still may be participating in it. It's something that's hard to grow out of and most of us always hold onto the insecurities of our youth, we just learn to deal with them in a seemingly more …
the hype machine needs you
The Hype Machine is an mp3 blog aggregator. Basically it crawls the internets in search of mp3s for our listening pleasure. A lot of traffic to Analog Scene can be contributed to The Hype Machine. It's an incredible website and has helped shape a rather large chunk of …

the first true day of fall
It never actually feels like autumn when the meteorologists announce it on the five o' clock news hour every year. Today truly feels like fall though. I'm inside of my my dorm room and for the first time all quarter I've turned down the air conditioner. I also have …

buzzzzzzzz black kids buzzzzzzz
The blogosphere will soon be on fire with talk of the Black Kids. Unless it already is? I dunno. They are like this new indie pop band that Pitchfork hopes to be the ones who said "we found 'em first" or something lame like that.
What do I have to say about it? Well …

shocking pinks and growing up slightly emo
I remember growing up as teenager and being ridiculously angsty. I used to listen to Nine Inch Nails and Korn religiously and my freshman year of high school I wore all black. You may hate me now for mentioning that, but it's the truth. I was a pissed off little fuck …

building the state and eating cereal
My favorite cereal by far would have to be Smart Start: Antioxidents. It's so ridiculously tasty. I'm easting some right now in fact, at 8:16 AM on this Autumn Tuesday. In fact, I'd rather stop writing and totally finish this bowl but I have to share with you, Building …

robert likes japanese rap. point and laugh.
J-Rap? Yeah, I know. I'm a total nerd. But a few months ago I heard M-Flo while sitting at my friend/producer's house, and after asking her for a copy of the CD like, 8 bajillion times, I realized I was on my own. I didn't think I'd be able to pick out the right album …

monday has trumpets and japanese percussive jazz rock in the form of OOIOO
At the heart of it all, Japan's Boredoms have always been obsessed with the sound of drums, so it's no surprise that OOIOO, the unique musical enterprise founded and fronted by Boredoms drummer Yoshimi P-We, is equally percussion-obsessed. Yoshimi also plays the …
