		<description><![CDATA[While browsing through the archive the other day, I realized it&#8217;s been awhile since we&#8217;ve had a contributor here on T-Sides. So, I put out a call to some trusted associates, asking if there was anyone who&#8217;d like to take a turn at it. Fellow Popdose associate Dw. Dunphy answered the call with this alluring write-up of a tune and artist yours truly had never heard until now. Ah, and thus, the whole point of having different voices here. So, without further delay&#8230; This is nothing new, really. Don MacLean had a fairly big hit with his maudlin folkie, &#8220;Vincent,&#8221; in case you don&#8217;t recall, but even though Vincent Van Gogh is also the protagonist of the song &#8220;Skin&#8221; from VOL (1995) by Vigilantes Of Love, the similarities end there. First off, lead vigilante Bill Mallonee is one of the most insidious songwriters I&#8217;ve ever come across. He will take a character, historical figure or event and start the song from there, then sneakliy shift focus. It was about this, but it&#8217;s really about that. Vigilantes Of Love: &#8220;Skin&#8221; (download) The same holds true here. The line, &#8220;Your princess, she don&#8217;t want to know you / Your princess, she don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I heard A Love Supreme, I was on a train coming back from MacArthur Airport in Islip, Long Island. I was in my senior year of college and had just watched my long-distance boyfriend board a plane back to California. It had been an interesting and emotional trip, as rushed visits between distant lovers can be. He had told me early on in the relationship that he loved me. It was the first time anyone other than a family member or friend had used that word to describe how they felt about me. It put me in a confusing state of mind. I wanted to tell him that I loved him, too, but regardless of what my emotions were telling me, I felt obligated to understand what, exactly, that word meant. What it meant to him. What it meant to me, in regards to those I felt I had loved in the past, but also in relation to him. I felt like I had to explore what I was acknowledging, what I was committing to, what was expected of me. After an extended visit from him, I was exhausted. And the fact that the confusing Long Island [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I &#8220;fell in love&#8221; so many times in high school that it&#8217;s hard to know who to classify as the first, but Damon was the first time I fell hard. Really hard. We met in a summer program through a local occupational school that allowed you to take a culinary arts class in the summer and get credit for it. The program lasted for half of the summer, and you actually got to run a restaurant, which you&#8217;d cycle through each section of. Damon was two years older than me, and very mature and well dressed for a high school guy in Washington state. He worked at the Gap at the mall 15 minutes from my house. We became fast friends, which quickly grew to stronger feelings on my end. Damon was the guy I&#8217;d talk to for hours on my private phone line late at night, hiding the receiver in my sweatshirt hood so I could quickly feign sleep if my mom came in to check on me. If it wasn&#8217;t the phone, we would talk for hours on AIM, and I&#8217;d frequently fall asleep on the couch in the computer room, waiting for him to sign on.

		<description><![CDATA[Being an obsessive music hoarder has its drawbacks. The questions of, &#8220;How often do I really listen to ______ ?&#8221; and all those albums that you really mean to get around to listening to, you&#8217;re just never really &#8220;in the right mood.&#8221; Or those albums that you think you hate then decide you like on a re-listen before you put them in the &#8220;sell to record store&#8221; or &#8220;delete&#8221; pile. Then there&#8217;s the organizing of one&#8217;s library. Any modern music aficionado is often dealing with three to four formats: digital, CDs, vinyl and/or tapes. (Yes, I really do have tapes.) Oh, and let&#8217;s not forget the financial toll for any one who still pays for any of this. But willful music binging has its benefits, too. On a tip from someone on tumblr who responded to a video of Skip James that I posted, I&#8217;ve been watching the seven-part Martin Scorsese Blues Documentary series, Martin Scorsese Presents: The Blues: A Musical Journey. I&#8217;ve seen five of the seven films, and so far have just about broken even: two of the films I could&#8217;ve passed on, two of them I found captivating, and one of them fell somewhere in the middle.

		<description><![CDATA[John Fahey has been recommended to me enough times that I&#8217;ve lost count, and has been cited as an influence by a decent chunk of the artists in my listening library, and yet, though I&#8217;ve had The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death for ages now, it&#8217;s taken me an absurd amount of time to properly listen to it. The only explanation that can be offered is that, like many a critic can &#8211; and, truthfully, should - it&#8217;s perhaps too easy easy to get wrapped up in one&#8217;s own listening process and discovery method, and to be a little stubborn about breaking from it. Now that fall is being obstinate about its arrival, it finally felt like the right time for Fahey (and it probably helps, too, that Skip James has been making his rounds on nearby speakers). Unsurprisingly, there&#8217;s no shortage of things about Fahey that bowl me over. I could certainly talk about all the technical aspects, his love for old blues, modern classical composers (i.e. Bartok) and foreign song form, all the things that should&#8217;ve tipped me off that I would like him before I even had to push &#8220;play.&#8221; But what gets me most about Fahey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s horribly cliche, but over the past couple summers, the moment the temperatures move towards 80 degrees, I reach for my Doors&#8217; collection. I always start out more or less listening to everything of theirs I own, then as the summer progresses, I cling to a particular song, usually one I hadn&#8217;t paid much attention to before. Two years ago, that song was &#8220;You&#8217;re Lost Little Girl.&#8221; Last year, it was &#8220;Love Her Madly.&#8221; This year, the contenders were &#8220;Crystal Ship&#8221; and &#8220;Riders on the Storm.&#8221; &#8220;Crystal Ship&#8221; ended up edging out &#8220;Riders on the Storm,&#8221; because it&#8217;s more mysterious, more compelling, more weird, less what the casual listener might expect from the Doors. &#8220;Riders on the Storm,&#8221; on the other hand, as much as I love it, is a little more typical, a little more straightforward. And most of the reason why I like it is contained within the second verse (beginning with, &#8220;Girl, you gotta love your man&#8230;&#8221;). The Doors: &#8220;The Crystal Ship&#8221; (download) Immediately, Jim Morrison&#8217;s lyrics are kind of off-putting, not because of language, but because of the subject: &#8220;Before you slip into unconsciousness / I&#8217;d like to have another kiss / Another flashing chance at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the spring of my junior year of college, I listened to Huey Lewis nonstop. One day, while working on the campus newspaper, I was sorting through the shared music of the local club offices and put on &#8220;I Want A New Drug.&#8221; The song was an apt anthem for how I felt about the guy I was seeing at the time, both for the obvious reasons, and for reasons I don&#8217;t dare mention on the internet. I decided I needed to own Huey Lewis &#38; The News&#8217; Greatest Hits. As things progressed with the guy I was seeing, I discovered that Huey Lewis had a song for every stage in a relationship. There was &#8220;Power of Love&#8221; for the happier days, and &#8220;If This Is It,&#8221; for when things started getting bad. Right after it was over, &#8220;So Little Kindness&#8221; was there to assure me that I wasn&#8217;t the only one who thought it was perplexing how quickly so much passion, interest and civility could dissolve. After that came &#8220;I Never Think About You.&#8221; Huey Lewis &#38; The News: &#8220;I Never Think About You&#8221; (download) This song from Plan B isn&#8217;t on Greatest Hits - I think I dug [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2004, I managed to land an internship at the Grammys. More specifically, the Seattle branch of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), the professional organization responsible for the Grammys. Four or five internships later, it&#8217;s still one of my top two favorites, because I felt like I was making a difference (I did a lot of research for  the proof of need for the Hawaiian Music category, which was added a year later). It also changed the way I listen to hip-hop. Though the average person associates Seattle with rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll &#8211; grunge, Sub Pop and that ilk &#8211; Seattle has an impressive hip-hop scene, particularly from a production standpoint. Our most famous name is Sir Mix A Lot (who I drove past one day in Capitol Hill), but hip-hop aficionados might recognize the names Jake One, Bean One and Vitamin D, producers who&#8217;ve worked on albums from big names like 50 Cent, Jurassic 5 and Mary J. Blige. While I was interning at NARAS, they hosted an event spotlighting the Seattle hip-hop production scene. As the intern, I helped set up, then got to stay for the event. It wasn&#8217;t exactly what I expected. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly two years ago now, I posted a short list of songs that reminded me of my post-college trip to Europe &#38; Asia. One of those songs, DJ Bobo&#8217;s &#8220;Chihuahua,&#8221; has recently reappeared in my life &#8211; and will soon make its way into yours, as well, if it hasn&#8217;t already. DJ Bobo: &#8220;Chihuahua&#8221; (download) A bit of a ridiculous song, &#8220;Chihuahua&#8221; is a silly, bouncy, dance tune that&#8217;s not actually about those yippy dogs that often get mistaken for rats and/or promote Taco Bell, but instead is about how the word &#8220;Chihuahua&#8221; makes DJ Bobo very, very happy. I&#8217;m walking in the street and the moon shines bright A little melody is spinning on my mind tonight I gotcha it&#8217;s the song about chihuahua Yeah, that&#8217;s cool alright (chihuahua) It means fun &#8211; and a life without sorrow Feels young &#8211; when you think about tomorrow Say yo &#8211; when you&#8217;re about to freak out Just go, and then shout it out loud Nonsensical as it may be, it&#8217;s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head for hours on end, driving you insane. Kind of like &#8220;It&#8217;s A Small World Afterall.&#8221; I first heard it two [...]]]></description>
