The Novelists: Book One http://wp.me/p3cxiR-ZG

Something has come to my attention, and that is The Novelists' album Book One. For reasons I can't explain, I haven't previously given The Novelists a chance, so let me be the first and most likely, only person to apologize on my behalf to the aforementioned parties. Your work on this album is nothing short of incredible. Fans of music with long memories might remember adult-contemporary pop bands like The Beautiful South, Marc Cohn, or Mike + The Mechanics (and many, many more.) These were musicians' pop bands where the point was to deliver an incredibly clever piece of music with lyrics that really make you pay attention. [ 638 more words. ]

Park Lane, The Grove, and the Future of Reno http://wp.me/p3cxiR-XA

A while back, I wrote about the plan that had bubbled up about Park Lane Promenade (I did not like it.) Recently, there has been some press about it in the RGJ, and Mike at ReReno also wrote about it. I thought Mike's post was great, raised some nice questions and the comment thread had a great discussion about urban-development killing parking requirements. [ 543 more words. ]

TV Covered Walls! http://wp.me/p3cxiR-Z8

Hopefully not too late to the party here, but a bit of noteworthy music of the shoegaze-influence variety just came to my attention. I present Reno's own, TV Covered Walls. Have a listen, won't you?

Farewell, 2014 http://wp.me/p3cxiR-YW

It's time to send out 2014. On this site, I wrote almost nothing, but at least I got that thing about My Flag is on Fire off my chest. Somehow, I missed this, or I probably would have posted about it. So, while it's still the same year this material claims to have been released... If it was a lo-fi year for you, maybe you'll appreciate this. [ 50 more words. ]

New music worth checking out!

One good thing about having followed Reno music for as long as I have is I’m now at the point where I recognize musicians’ names from various projects I like. If you, like me, are a fan of namefollowedbynumber, you will almost certainly be very happy indeed that a new project, Rhyolite, has appeare...

One of my favorite musical compositions, and probably one of the most beautiful of any music is the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian BachThis is obviously old news since The Goldberg Variations was written and published back in 1741. The news part of it is this Open Source edition of the Gold...

Shop!

In my continuation on MidTown places to check out, as I mentioned in the Classic Skate Shop article, the Never Ender boutique required a mention. For one, the Classic Skate Shop exists neatly inside the store, and gives a stark contrast to what the Never Ender provides----while the gals can peruse ...
