I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

I don’t get taxes. Why we have them or how to do them or why if my address is in Pennsylvania I send my forms to Missouri (seriously, wtf). So because I’m pretty much FML right now (SO trendy to say), I’m going to post this cop out post that has songs involving taxes and… Continue reading I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov.

About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region

I’ve received a lot of questions about my interview with After Last Season writer/director/producer Mark Region, so I guess I’ll do some verifying.

Well, you heard it here first: After Last Season is real. I spoke with writer/director/producer Mark Region about the movie earlier today, and his flustered and… Continue reading Knox Road Exclusive: Writer/Director Mark Region talks about After Last Season

Röyksopp’s Junior makes me wish I could dance…

Because all the best electronica comes from Norway (??) it should be no surprise that Röyksopp’s latest album, Junior, is a tour de electronica, whatever that means, if it even makes sense. From the band’s Myspace: After spending the last year or so in the kitchen, we’re now ready to serve. The menu should provide a… Continue reading Röyksopp’s Junior makes me wish I could dance…
