Over the weekend Jenny Jay and I headed a couple blocks down the street to the Roxie, Burlington's answer to the indieplex, to see Blade Runner, on the big screen. I was giddy - Blade Runner is one of those films that i was too young to have seen in the theater, and having watched it years back now on a degenerated VHS, i was now certain i was going to see this film the way it was intended.I

Hey everyone. Sorry that it’s taken until now to post the latest Aether Everywhere set and download (Jenny’s been checking her computer every couple of hours, folding her arms, and stomping away), but both Tanner and I had pretty hectic weekends. OK, so mine wasn’t really all that hectic, but since I was recently informed by my supervisor that, no, a hot pink Marc Bolan t-shirt (and the like) is

7.) Chinjeolhan Geumjassi (Sympathy for Lady Venegeance) (2005)If I thought Buffalo '66 was original, I'm also the first to admit that it doesn't even hold a candle to Sympathy. In my book, this Korean film from director Can-wook Park is revelatory, not only for its crisp execution of cinematography, or sumptious mise-en-scene, but it's all around-ness. yes, the ever-allusive all-aroundness

This past Thursday night, the moons sadly did not line up for Aether Everywhere. Tanner and I once again ran into some, um, studio access issues, and those of you who were listening may have noticed some not-so-psychedelic, not-so-Japanese music emerging from your speakers. So no, that was not us playing Salad Days, Marie and Marie’s bowling buddies. Shudder. You’re obviously not getting

Okay, so it's a little late, but let me tell you all right now, i have been agonizing over the prose for my best movies of 2007 list. And i still think it's tripe. I mean, how many times can i say a film brilliantly acted or masterfully directed or, oh no, touching? A lot apparently. But nevertheless, the list was constructed and you all should read it, if only to break up the Aether Everywhere

This past Thursday, Aether Everywhere had its first year-end extravaganza. We featured cuts from Tanner’s and my favorite psychedelic(ish) albums from 2007--Tanner’s was Burial’s Untrue and mine was (surprise, surprise) Panda Bear’s Person Pitch--and then we rounded it out with other tracks that made our heads go, um, woh-woh-woh-woh-etc. this year. Hope you likey:1) “Take Pills” – Panda Bear

I was sitting with my grandmother this afternoon; she was telling me about her childhood, i forget how we got onto the subject. When she was a girl, living the town of Bedford just over the border in rural Quebec, she remembers that all the boys and all the men had gone off to war, and that in their absence she and her friends had to do some of the jobs that the boys in town more often did.

So here’s the set list from Aether Everywhere #2. We featured Harmonia’s Deluxe from 1975, and then played some other like-minded jams to round out the second hour. Harmonia started out as side project for Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster and Michael Rother of Neu!, and on Deluxe, they also prominently featured Guru Guru’s Mani Neumeier on drums. We recommend both this

Thanks to all who listened, and we hope you tune in next Thursday at 10 p.m. on 105.9 fm! “Slip Inside This House” – 13th Floor Elevators / The leadoff track from the Elevators’ classic Easter Everywhere, and possibly their finest moment. “Vacation” – Excepter /

This morning Oldham woke me up to go out, and then jumped up for a morning cuddle session. This is the way to start out a good day. He doesn't spend the night on the bed, namely because he prefers his crate, but also because he's huge now and pushes us all over the place. But damn if he isn't the biggest cuddle bug in Burlington. And when he's not cuddling he's staring thoughtfully out the

The other night, I was talking with Tanner about how musicians like Keith Fullerton Whitman and Tetsu Inoue can get by using only a couple of notes because they’re the right notes. This invariably led to Tanner talking about the right notes on that big bone organ in The Goonies. (the human mind works in strange and mysterious ways. -ed) Now, whenever The Goonies is mentioned, I think of one

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and listened to it no more than 10 times, but i think it's safe to say this album deserves a spot on this list. It's truly under stated and stately, heavy and dour, hopeful and even occasionally celebratory. And his

I was contacted this morning by a reader asking me to repost Neil Young's "Roll another Number" from this bootleg that came my way through pure pop a year or more ago. I figure I'll do you all one better and post the whole album.A few side notes - from what i understand and judging by the on stage banter and set list, this is a recording from the heart of Neil's infamous ditch period.

I was stopped cold when i stumbled upon the artwork of this man, Arthur Rackham. I'm a fan of illustrators, evidenced by my interest in graphic novels and the Gorey prints on my arm and walls. Though i'd never seen Mr. Rackham's work before, after looking through a collection of his illustrations; specifically on the piece above, i realized why i felt it familiar; Guillermo Del Toro sited

My friend Jared was nice enough to invite me to his Christmas / friend's birthday party over the weekend, unfortunately that was also the same night as the Excellent Plastic Ono cover band and the Greg Davis curated night of avant spectacular. Needless to say, it was a busy night. To top it off, Jared lives in Stowe.But like good friends JB and I piled into my truck around 9:30 and hit the road.

It bothered me for several days, but I finally figured who my new daughter, Noelle, looks just like: Paul Sorvino! How sweet is that?! This particular photo of her may not represent the likeness as well as it could, but trust me—every time we wake her up or take her off the breast, it’s all Sorvino. Jealous much?

About 4 years ago i moved to Olympia WA to get some schooling at the Evergreen State College, also just to get out of dodge for a while. A few days before leaving on Christmas morning, my friends threw me a going away party.

Rock and Roll (somewhat) elder statesman and budding intellectual Gene Simmons added his buck oh nine to the whole radiohead/NIN vs the industry vs music downloading debate in US magazine, stating:"The record industry doesn't have a fucking clue how to make money," said Simmons venting his spleen on both band's recent decisions to make their albums available for download on a pay-what-you-like

Hi, everybody! Well, I’ve decided to kick off the first of my rants by bringing your attention to one of my favorite artists, Philip Jeck. (My apologies to those who may already know and love him.) Before I start, though, I want to throw it out there that if you only have a few minutes in your day to hit the blogs, go to the awesome www.spittingoutteeth.com before you read my posts on

Think of this as a public service announcement from the Hip Hop community and Highgate. Sort of like, "The Source presents: The More you Know (bout your boyfriend's dick)".... Anyway - In the past Hip Hop and I have always had a love hate relationship, while i knew what i liked, and why i liked it, i couldn't categorically say whether or not said track was infact "good music".I mean, i know it

Highgate would like to introduce to you and welcome, one Mr. Josh LaClair, former Pure Popper, and current Franklin County resident, into the fold, as it were. You can expect semi-regular music reviews, mixtapes, and rants, and to start things off on the right foot Josh has compiled a dance mix for your headphones, as well as provided a track by track rundown so you can read while you listen.

As my more regular readers know, I've been steadily publishing the daily entries from an old leather bound journal of one Ms. Jennie Moore. What i know of her, is very little - only what I've read in this Journal and that she must be related to me, perhaps distantly. My middle name is Moore, given to me me by i believe my great grandfather Charles Moore - but the fact that i have her diary, and

I tend not to post about upcoming shows of musicians i like - not that there's anything wrong with that, but i guess - it's just not what Highgate is all about. What Highgate is about namely, is shameless self promotion via irreverent irrelevant nonsense. I digest digress. But tomorrow night is yet another chance to get out and see two bands that are doing what no one else in Burlington seem

Last weekend Tanner and I went to see The Darjeeling Limited. Let me first say, that although this gal considers herself a loyal Wes Anderson fan, I admit to being pretty darn disappointed with The Life Aquatic. So much so that sitting there in the theatre, waiting for the lights to dim, munching excitedly on a melted twix and buttered popcorn, was making me downright nervous. What if he's

Quietism is the attitude of people who say, “let others do what I cannot do.” The doctrine I am presenting before you is precisely the opposite of this, since it declares that there is no reality except in action. It goes further, indeed, and adds, “Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realises himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions,

I got the idea to do an "end of season" mixtape while i was walking around in this pine forest out behind my grandparent's house this past weekend.

This came out of my right ear last night. As i fired a jet of warm water into my ear it came hurling out onto the sink basin along with a sensation i can only describe as surfacing from underwater. My right ear could breath again! As i looked down at what my head had birthed my elation quickly turned into muted horror, and then just ask quickly into fascination... I was transfixed!It was a

Like most of us I'm a regular reader of umpteen music blogs, review sites, and rss feeds - especially now that i don't work a record store that gives me access to new music readily. (*cough* bit torrent *cough*) If i'm going to keep up on what's going on and satisfy my twin desires, riding that serpentine wave of culture and feeding my ear and eye holes with tasty treats, i have to devote a

I thought it was a rather inspired costume, (if i do say so myself.) so much so that a few times i was taken aside by a well meaning party goer and politely informed that my left nostril was bleeding. "That's my coke hole baby... never you worry."I wasn't planning on dressing up - I never usually do - it's not so much that I'm against dressing up, but I've never been all that excited by the idea,

Came across these little comics, created for The Guardian's Saturday Review letter's section, by one Tom Gauld. They mostly pertain to the world of literature, film and criticism, but even if that's not your particular cup of Earl Grey, you should still be able to appreciate them for their clever and subtle artwork utilizing a combination of flat simple geometry and Goreyesque shading. |The Rest|

When I was a kid, like many of us, I was an insane Lego collector. My favorite was of course the medieval settings, specifically the robin hood sets with the camouflaged outposts and robin with his little triangle shaped hat with minute plastic feather poking out...I was thrilled by the idea of being able to hide oneself from authority figures etc, which also would explain why i had no fewer than

One of the oldest known photographs - taken in 1904, by Edward Steichen. Hand colored using light sensitive gum in a process known as autochrome. This picture amazes me, its stillness is haunting.It's dark and it's raining here in Burlington and it's lovely, everything feels muted and full - earthworm weather.

If you've ever had a sizable amount of vinyl, you know just how difficult it can be to find the right place to keep them. Even if you find the right spot, the right shelving becomes the next issue. Most bookshelves lack the the proper shelf height to fit the average 12.5" records, nor the proper shelve depth - beyond that most are not sturdy enough as vinyl weighs quite alot.Currently we have

I took a few shots at the art hop; i felt like it'd be fun to try and use no flash and a longer exposure time to see what i could come up with - most everyone is blurry - but their instruments are in focus, i concider it an artistic statement, yeah... that's it... |The Rest|But before JB complains that he's never in any band photos taken with the band's he's in I went ahead and found his picture

I was day dreaming yesterday, thinking about my new place and how much it feels like home to me. My thoughts started drifting back across all the various people I've lived with over the years... The more i thought of it, the more i realized I've lived with a series of interesting people... some more than other; old pedophiles, young drug dealers, suicidal Alcoholic gay men; it's been a bumpy

Last night i finished reading "The Poor Bastard", Joe Matt's first collection of autobiographical stories centered around his life, his failed relationships with women, porn addiction, and his general neurotic selfish dickheadedness. It was the first comic (i waffle on the term graphic novel... only because i don't think Comic book is bad word.) I've read in a while, the last one being Blankets,

While i was spending the the afternoon at home, licking my wounds from a particularly unsettling disagreement with Jenny i figured it was the right time to organize some things in my life, really straighten somethings out, i figured my MP3s are the best place to start.

Speaking of genocide humor... at work today we had our first company sexual harassment meeting... stay with me now.Two lawyers from a local business law firm, i think... PFC Law, (though i referred to them in my head through the excruciatingly long meeting as "PF Claw!") were just about to finish up their question and answer section of the info meeting when this one fellow coughed and raised his

Thursday morning we climbed up Minister hill; it had rained all the night before and there was nothing but a massive and silent wall of fog when we got to the summit. On a clear day you can see all the way to Montreal... the only thing we could see was the tops of some evergreens below us and two hawks rolling around in front of us.Jenny: When we reached the top of the cliff it felt like

Oh where to start... this is rich. So most of you know that i work for a tech company, we do 90% of our business via the internets. The tubes, for the layperson. So, it's safe to say that in order to work at this company a solid, average rudimentary understanding of technology would seeming be a prerequisite.Nah.Take for instance, this - This is the installation disk for the Dymo labelwriter,

This is little number is a scene from the Gremlins 2 movie that was only ever seen in Theaters, it's called Hulk Hogan vs. The Gremlins, nuff said.This one is a wonderful collection of clips featuring my favorite Home Movie's character, Jason. I like to imagine that Oldham has Jason's voice, and then i talk to Oldham like Jason, that might seem weird, cause when i read it back to myself, it did.

Jenny and I went up to Franklin County for the afternoon; My family's business threw a staff party on lake Carmi, just a ways down the west side shoreline from the camp we'll be at next week. As usual lots of eating and drinking ensued along with tubing, fishing and the grilling of as many animals as can be fit on a spit. Oldham, opted to remain a "non-edible" and to show his solidarity, kept to

I woke up early this morning with the three windows that surround the head of our bed rattling - outside the sky was whipping around and dark. Oldham, from his crate down by the foot of the bed was staring out at me. I shut the offending windows and cut off the flow of cold wet air and climbed back into bed. A few more minutes and the rattling returned, so again i got up, Oldham cocked his head

Either that or I've somehow been reincarnated as Barbie's Bitch. Literally. But i haven't died... have I? News of my canine doppleganger came to me by way of a Mattel product recall that's recalling thousands of various childrens toys that apparently contain large amounts of dangerous Lead. When contacted for a response Mattel's head of product safety responded by saying "You'll have that...""

Like so many technology/music nerds, i've always enjoyed exploring different ways of combining my love of the two into one; i remember being in junior high and getting my hands on my first pirated copies of Fruity loops and ACID! Spending hours mixing loops, and cutting up beats... eventually it would lead me to world wide fame and adoration after i single-handedly invented electronic music and

I forgot we get this kind of heat in Vermont, i was feeling spoiled by the nice mild / rainy summer weather we've been having.

Someone has put together a rather complicated genealogy of metal - spanning from early/proto metalheads like Zep, Blue Cheer, and MC5, down through First wave black metal, and further on down to the current trends of New American Metal, including the likes of Lamb of God and Mastodon. While I'm sure any metal fan worth there salt (or worth their tour shirt, spiked wrist bands, corpse paint, jean

"The liberation of the human mind has never been furthered by dunderheads; it has been furthered by gay fellows who heaved dead cats into sanctuaries and then went roistering down the highways of the world, proving to all men that doubt, after all, was safe -- that the god in the sanctuary was finite in his power and hence a fraud." -???????I also suggest a reading of Herb and Cooley's adventure.

According to The Independent, upon the death of a prominent Swiss Lawyer Albin Schram, a collection of personal letters was found in his home, and will soon enough be be auctioned off - I find these glimpses into the personal exchanges of public figures to be wonderfully voyeuristic, here are few select cuts:Ernest Hemingway to Ezra Pound, July 1925.
