If you just take pause for a moment and look at all of the incredible music that Amy Milan has been involved with in her life, it's staggering. Her work with Stars and Broken Social Scene is of course brilliant, and yet she still finds the inspiration and the time to record the occasional solo record, lucky for us. 'Masters Of The Burial' drops on September 22nd and it is beautiful. Here is her cover of a Death Cab For Cutie favorite.

Anyone else been following the stranger than fiction story of Marcus Schrenker, the Indiana investment banker who attempted to fake his own death? Crazy stuff man...
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/us/15pilot.html?_r=1&hpIt's amazing to me that people with this much intelligence and creativity use it for stuff like this! Human nature I guess...anyway, this whole debacle reminds me of not one, but TWO songs...which I will of course share. Yeah, so...basically I am bored to death on a Friday night...too cold to go out, so there may be some boredom inspired blogging...I apologize in advance.

'Sparkle And Fade' is a total time-warp album for me. I use this phrase a lot, probably over use it...but you have to consider the source. I am someone who thinks in song lyrics, and remembers everything, EVERYTHING as being set to a song, All of my best, and worst, memories have a soundtrack. This Everclear album was that soundtrack for a significant amount of time in my life...most of spring and summer of 1995. One of those formative years in my life, no doubt. One of those years where I made a LOT of mistakes, and one of those years I was really starting to turn to music in all times of doubt.
Songs like 'Summerland', 'Pale Green Stars', 'Strawberry' have all served me so well over the years, immortalizing this album on my little music blog doesn't seem like nearly enough, but I am not so well connected, so I do what I can.
