I Am Interviewed About My Personal (Atheistic) Religiosity/Spirituality
February 19th, 2011 Daniel Fincke Through Facebook, I was recently contacted by an old friend from high school (who was actually the first girl to go on a date with me).

February 12th, 2011 Daniel Fincke The Low Anthem’s sublime song and beautiful video for their song “Charlie Darwin”: I had the pleasure of seeing the Low Anthem a month ago at the Jazz Center at Lincoln Center.

July 3rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke Liars’ most recent album, Sisterworld, is simply my favorite 2010 release so far. It is just a great album. Listen to a representatively great song from the album: Your Thoughts?

July 2nd, 2010 Daniel Fincke She has just recorded a new single (in one take!) with Jack White. And here are two new songs also performed in one take (H/T: Twenty-Four Bit, again): And a live Jackson C.

July 2nd, 2010 Daniel Fincke This is classic: Twenty Four Bit provides context: A Jeff Tweedy solo show is something to behold, and the Wilco frontman’s benefit gig at Chicago’s Vic Theatre in March was—by all accounts—a prime example. Tweedy performed a host of pre-submitted audience requests, including “Shakin’ Sugar,” a Wilco rarity that even he had to Google, Radiohead’s [...]

July 2nd, 2010 Daniel Fincke I admit I sort of hate the Sneh Ko Morg contributions to the song, but Laura is truly fantastic as always and this is an exciting harbinger of an EP of new recordings from Laura, Mumford and Sons, and Dharohar Project, coming July 5 to I-tunes: If you’re new to Laura, you might want to [...]

June 15th, 2010 Daniel Fincke DJ Zebra’s incredible mash up of two classic songs from a few years back is more than a gimmick, it’s a legitimate work of art in its own right: By the way, Trent Reznor just released his first album not as Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels. His new group is also called How [...]

April 5th, 2010 Daniel Fincke For whatever reason I think of these guys as sort of the Scottish Counting Crows with a little more aggressive emotional frankness. Songs don’t come much more brutally blunt than this one: Your Thoughts?

287. Martha Wainwright
March 21st, 2010 Daniel Fincke The next artist on my 366 favorite artists countdown is the daughter of the last artist on the countdown. I’d say it’s a good chance that that’s only going to happen this once… I know what you’re thinking, “what’s next–the same guy’s son tomorrow?” Maybe. I’ve gotta think about it. Your Thoughts?
289. Jesus Lizard
March 19th, 2010 Daniel Fincke For a long time, to my discredit, I naively thought that Nirvana were either a singular phenomenon or a band whose closest cousin was Pearl Jam. Only when I started really listening to music did I realize what different musical universes Nirvana and Pearl Jam really existed in. And coming to this realization took some [...]

March 17th, 2010 Daniel Fincke An exciting recent find, I found this band in the wee hours of the morning during an overnighter working on the dissertation. I was listening to an archived October 2 interview with xkcd cartoonist Randall Munroe carried out last fall at Skeptically Speaking by Desiree Schnell. At the end of the file with their interview, The [...]
