YouTube is magical, so is Ryan

Father Scott
Video record of last night’s Ryan Adams concert in Boston is already up on YouTube. Gotta love it. I imagine Pax will have a more complete recap later (thanks to his iPhone capturing some of our more…interesting parts of the night), so I’ll leave out the details, except that it was a thrill to [...]

More Monday filler: Bum rush the bums!

Perry Ellis
Ryan Adams prefaced “Wonderwall” with a shout-out to his buds Oasis last night, and Perry Ellis groaned out loud in disgust. The only thing I hate more than Oasis is that song and RA’s version brings it to a new low (it’s a crappy version of an already shitty ditty, as I mentioned to [...]

Friday Random 10: Unwanted Music Edition

Pax Arcana
In the mid-1990’s a pair of Russian artists decided to create the most unwanted song ever. Based on feedback from a survey, they determined that people hate things like holiday music, children’s choirs, bagpipes, tempo changes, sopranos rapping, and other affronts to auditory health.
Then a guy named David Soldier combined those elements into a [...]

Father Scott
Bob Mould. Ryan Adams. Enjoy.

Tuesday Tubby Tearfest

Father Scott
There’s nowhere to go but up, people.
That’s my approach to this week’s Biggest Loser, coming on the heels of the worst episode of the year. Hopefully it’s just a speed bump on the way to an exciting finale.
Last week saw Danny go home, which is unfortunate only in that the show seems determined to [...]

Ryan Adams: The Curt Schilling of rock

Father Scott
In my minutes of aimlessly surfing the Intertubes before my fantasy baseball draft tonight, I came across this story on Paste (via Tripwire): Ryan Adams has started a blog.
Due to said draft, I don’t have time to comment on this, but suffice it to say that it is awesome. Maybe this dumping ground of [...]

Monday Unrandom Random 10: Ryan Adams

Father Scott
Pax Arcana has no regular Monday post. We have Tuesday Tubby Tearfest (my personal favorite) and Friday Random 10 (Pax’s favorite, because he’s lazy), but Monday gets no love. Well I’m attempting to change that.
May I introduce Monday Unrandom Random 10, in which I (or Perry or Pax, or, I suppose, Reverend E, when [...]

The National takes top honors from Paste (maybe)

Stereogum says Paste Magazine (official music magazine of Father Scott) has chosen The National’s Boxer as the top album of 2007.

Probably not what The National had in mind
Pax Arcana tried to verify Stereogum’s reporting, but the Paste Web site reveals no such list. We think Stereogum must have reproduced the top 100 directly from the [...]
