Some More BS from Jaybee: Easy-To-Not-Listen-To Music
http://jburns831.blogspot.com/2015/05/easy-to-not-listen-to-music.html
Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Now that everything is just great, I brace myself for the unending tidal wave of musical brilliance that is to inevitably flow through my life, now that I know I still have a hankering for it. But instead of a tidal wave, it’s more of a trickle. I need musical Flomax. This is a valid question for any ...

kriofske mix: THE BEST FILMS OF 2008
http://kriofske-mix.blogspot.com/2009/01/best-films-of-2008.html
THE BEST FILMS OF 2008. This was not such a great year for film – I saw three of my top five in Toronto in. However, I've never had so much difficulty choosing a number one film: I like the top two almost equally, but when it comes to ranking personal taste, I don’t believe in ties. 1 MAN ON WIRE. 2 LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. 3 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS, AND 2 DAYS. Wasn’t enough, you have the added attraction of the glorious, irascible 86-year-old Ann Savage in her final role as Maddin’s mother. Perhaps. Joachim...

Some More BS from Jaybee: Secret History 1966: "Aftermath" – The Great Unknown Stones Album

Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Sunday, May 9, 2010. Secret History 1966: "Aftermath" – The Great Unknown Stones Album. Even though I didn’t for a while, I eventually got around to liking the Stones. It was the whole Stones vs. Beatles thing. I mean, where did anyone. Get off versing the Beatles, anyway? Or was it simply how great the music was? But ours w...

Some More BS from Jaybee: I Don’t Want To Hear it Anymore, Part One:
http://jburns831.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-dont-want-to-hear-it-anymore-part-one.html
Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Friday, April 3, 2015. I Don’t Want To Hear it Anymore, Part One:. Winters suck in general, but the winter of 2014/2015 will go down as one of the suckiest of all time. You can look it up. But nothing too loud or raucous. But circumstances were dampening my enthusiasm even more than usual. And when I set out on such a course...

kriofske mix: THE BEST FILMS OF 2010
http://kriofske-mix.blogspot.com/2011/01/best-films-of-2010.html
THE BEST FILMS OF 2010. 1 EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP. When I saw graffiti artist Bansky’s documentary early on in its theatrical run, I did not even question whether it was real or a hoax—I completely. 2 WINTER’S BONE. 3 JACK GOES BOATING. 5 THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Someone to root for. 6 I KILLED MY MOTHER. 10 I AM LOVE. An unapologetically old-fashioned melodrama centered on a wealthy Milanese family, it will not appease those seeking subtlety (or even logic), but for me, its skill, sheer chutzpah and a div...

Some More BS from Jaybee: A Matter of Life and Death
http://jburns831.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-matter-of-life-and-death.html
Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Friday, July 10, 2015. A Matter of Life and Death. Given my hard-to-stay-dead crisis of not being able to love any new music, it seemed to make the most sense to stick with happy/poppy/fun records to snap me out of it. What I needed was a good time! It sure didn’t make any sense to get a record about death. Now before you ge...

Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Fire in the Garden. So what are my objections to concerts? Well as a notorious cheapskate, I like to get my money’s worth. I want a long show. I described one of my first major disappointments (Eric Clapton) in a previous post. You’ve got the best seats in the house! I won’t even tell you the ev...

Some More BS from Jaybee. Containing, among other things, my humble effort to bring my fellow fifty(ish) year olds up to date on some current, and frankly, not so current, pop music. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Two Down, Forty-Eight to Go - Sufjan Stevens "Illinois". Now is the time for all good men to come to aid of their fifty year old brothers and sisters by letting them know about great albums. You remember them, don’t you? The last great album I got was “Illinois” by Sufjan Stevens. Since you could m...
