The World Forgot — For those of you who are completely in the dark Disney is making a sequel to the cult classic Tron.  The previews, and literally everything else surrounding the December launch of the movie, have been stellar so far.  Mind bendingly stellar.  As ... read more »

The World Forgot — At some point over the last three months I lost track of this brilliant album.  This album that will probably sit at or toward to the top of most year end lists five months from now.  The odd part is that I literally listened to this album on rep... read more »

The World Forgot — Just a quick note; I’m getting married tomorrow so The World Forgot will be dormant for about 12 days.  If you’d like to leave a comment feel free to leave your favorite marriage quote (mine would be “Let’s have a marriage.  Let’s have a marriage... read more »

The World Forgot — One of my favorite dirty rock (and/or bar bands) of the last five years has been Deer Tick.  I’ve been to both of their shows that were close enough for me to drive to and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed their particular brand of what I can only describe... read more »

The World Forgot — So it’s a Friday, and the World Cup is in full swing, and if you’re like me that means you really don’t care about much else (let alone writing a new post for your little blog).  And even though I’m more than thrilled to watch the US v Ghana game... read more »

The World Forgot — If you’ve been trolling the internet over the past month or so you’ve most likely stumbled upon a smattering of tracks off the upcoming Arcade Fire album The Suburbs which is due out later this year.  To be honest, after hearing the tracks, I’m n... read more »

The World Forgot — At long last another installment of Best of the Remix.  As before this is a random collection of remixes that I personally find enjoyable.  Some are, by default, better than others.  Enjoy the music and if you’re looking for the rest of the serie... read more »

The World Forgot — If you can remember all the way back to 2009 the Dessner brothers (from The National) helped out Red Hot Organization with a little compilation album entitled Dark Was The Night (amazon) (itunes).  To be honest it’s ok if you’ve forgotten this sl... read more »

The World Forgot — Florence and The Machine have always pulled at my ears due to the copious amount of quality remixes their songs produce.  Although, for whatever reason, I haven’t really found myself listening much to their original work.  That might all change i... read more »

The World Forgot — In certain situations math can be a tricky subject.  In this case it’s rather straightforward.  B.o.B. + Rivers Cuomo = Outkast.  Ok, that might be an oversimplification.  It might be more B.o.B. + Rivers Cuomo = Andre 3000 + Weezer.  Yeah, that ... read more »

The World Forgot — Josh Ritter has a new album and I’m still confused as to what I really think of it.  I’ve put it on repeat in my car and I don’t really know what to say.  At times the album is absolute genius.  The opening three tracks are solid from the instrum... read more »

The World Forgot — Bear with me as I continue to upgrade the underlying structure of TWF behind the scenes.  Yes, most of those changes don’t affect you at all.  Yes they are important.  Yes they do take away from me being able to blog about music.  Yes a brand new... read more »

The World Forgot — I’ve been absent from this hallowed hall for far too long now.  I do apologize, but I’ve been busy.  I’m attempting to cobble together a massive playlist for an upcoming wedding reception and that (along with the latest album from The National) h... read more »

The World Forgot — I’m glad that earlier this year I was mistaken about the fate of one of my favorite bands.  I had heard (or read) that they were going on a possibly permanent hiatus as band members were concentrating on families, other careers, and generally hav... read more »

The World Forgot — I’ve been listening to an advance copy of The National’s upcoming album High Violet and let me first say, before digressing into a boring diatribe, that it is a masterpiece.  Quite simply it is brilliant and will feature prominently in almost al... read more »

The World Forgot — The new album by MGMT finds the dynamic duo pushing further into the historical bog of rock music.  If their first album, Oracular Spectacular, was a tribute to an acid trip through the deserted 80’s then their new disc, Congratulations (amazon),... read more »

The World Forgot — The National have seen it fit to throw another bone to their eagerly waiting fans.  I happen to be one of these fellows waiting patiently for scraps from the masters table.  Their just released track, off their upcoming album High Violet (amazon)... read more »

The World Forgot — TWF is undergoing a bit of maintenance right now (as you can probably tell).  I was working on upgrading the underlying architecture of the site (to make it easier to use and to be as current as possible with web standards) when it all came tumbli... read more »

The World Forgot — Jonsi Birgisson is most well known for his work as the front man for the Icelandic group Sigur Ros.  On their albums he usually sings in Icelandic or a made up language he coined Hopelandic.  On the rare occasion he switches over to English but t... read more »
