Hey, it’s Raphael. I already posted about this back when we first set up this blog a few years ago, but for those of you who haven’t seen it, I wanted to make a quick plug for my autobiographical webcomic Tip Me Over, Pour Me Out. I know the combination of the words […]
My whole body is sore right now because I’ve spent the week running, jumping, and kicking my way through New York City for a new video we’re working on. The video is so action packed, at one point our camera got knocked over and the view screen shattered. Our regular editor and good friend Oren […]
Hey all,
I’ve finally started a music blog where I’ll be posting tracks, mini-reviews, and select NYC show listings on as consistent a basis as I can muster, thus far it’s looking like daily Mon-Fri. It’s called Migrating Taste and can be found at migratingtaste.blogspot.com. Hope to see you there.

I found this old song a week ago that I really love. It’s off of Rhino Record’s “The Doo Wop Box” and it makes me think that I should give the semi-similar-sounding Antony (& possibly the Johnsons) another chance. It’s by this group The Orioles and that vocal progression is just great.

Hola, ricos y suaves.
So, I went to Mexico for a week to escape the daily grind of dashing little kids’ dreams, and what I discovered is that the best part of Mexico, far and away better than beaches and daiquiris and speedy mice, is Spanish-language music videos. And the best music video I saw […]

Before I continue with some more selections from some of my favorite acts at the Pitchfork Music Festival, I should mention that Pitchfork’s own photo set from the weekend includes not just one but two pics of Ben P. Four Square Star. And from the “Where’s Benno?” collection (Hint: I was directly to the […]
