The HSO: April 2007
http://thehso.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Bands You Should Love, Vol. Uhhhh. 3? How I love(d) this band. The parentheses-ized d is there because they went semi-dormant after their 1999 record, Everest. And haven't been very active since then (though they do play around town every now and again and per their MySpace page - see below for link - have been recording). These guys typify the kind of stuff that. They've got a MySpace page here. And there's also an audio clip from the afore-mentioned Everest. Posted by C m/ K ...

The HSO: January 2007

Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Thanks to Rebecca for sending this clip. My way. Wow. What you will see if you click on that link is a bride going full-on bat-shit crazy. Um Okay, I'm well aware that weddings are stressful times - I've participated in more than a few of them, and believe it or not I was actually married myself, once*. But. girlfriend's over-reacting. Or "It looks cute! Overall, though, I'm struck with a feeling of sympathy for the bridesmaids. I mean, they were having themselves a fine ...

The HSO: March 2007

Monday, March 26, 2007. This, I have to admit, looks hopeful. Looks like the Protestants and Catholics in No. Ireland are set to try what is, at worst, a pretty good idea; and more importantly, it's an Irish solution for an Irish problem. More significantly, Paisley and Gerry were. In the same room. For the first time, well, ever. That blows my mind, right there. Now, if the Brits would just get out of there, I might allow for a little cautious optimism. End of serious portion of this post:. I know, I kn...

The HSO: June 2007
http://thehso.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 21, 2007. In a world that's currently dominated by bloated, dysfunctional record labels, it's comforting to know that there are some labels out there that do things the right way, both for their artists and us consumers. Of those, my personal favorite is Merge Records. There are several reasons for this, not the least of which being that it was founded by Mac McCaughan. Of my beloved Superchunk. And And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. I'm afraid we're still going to have to deal wit...

The HSO: May 2007
http://thehso.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 27, 2007. Well, I finally got around to putting together a little MySpace page for my old band Joy - you can find it right here. If you're so inclined as to want to check it out. I could blather on about the band and the page, but I'm lazy and it's easier just to quote myself from the Bio section:. If you’re an avid fan (and why the hell wouldn’t you be? Well, that’s it that was Joy. I’m biased, of course, but I think we were a pretty good little band.". Posted by C m/ K @ 2:17 PM. And I frig...

Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Hey, you - vote. Yeah, you - do it. Vote. It's good for you. If you're in MN and are unsure of who to vote for, you can go. For more info (thanks to our pals at A.S.S. for that link). Seriously, it'll only take you a few minutes, and you'll feel better for it. It. Your constitutional right, after all. Posted by C m/ K @ 12:46 PM. Wednesday, November 01, 2006. Bands You Should Love, Vol. 2. This time the band in question is Metric. Posted by C m/ K @ 4:44 PM. Gee, do you suppos...

The HSO: December 2006

Tuesday, December 05, 2006. Toots on a plane. Believe it or not, a woman managed to fart a plane out of the air. She did it by lighting matches to try and cover up the smell of her apparently chronic flatulence, which freaked other passengers out and THAT served to force an unscheduled stop, but such details are rarely very funny. I guess in this polarized 2-party world we live in, there are only 2 ways to look at this:. Liberal: This poor woman has a. And now she can't fly? Posted by C m/ K @ 5:08 PM.

Friday, December 28, 2007. Santa done stolt my life, again. So another Christmas has come and gone - which also means that, for the 4th year, we're finally nearing the end of our annual run of Santaland Diaries @ the Bryant Lake Bowl. It's a fun play, the actors are great (as actors and as folks), and the BLB is a dandy place to see a show. If you haven't been, you really should - you have 2 more chances at it, you know. Oh, and as Clarence. Posted by C m/ K @ 10:35 AM. 37, male, single, jaded.

Friday, April 28, 2006. Oh, for the love of Pete. This fellow right here truly wants to die. And if he doesn't pull it off himself with the drugs, I'm betting the guys from the bands his problems have wrecked will be happy to assist. Posted by C m/ K @ 4:27 PM. Thursday, April 27, 2006. This story is best read with "Dueling Banjos" playing in the background. Posted by C m/ K @ 4:38 PM. Bands you should love, Vol. 1. I give you Channels. You can check out some of their material here on their MySpace page.
