There probably should be a good reason for that, but there isn't. I just haven't felt the need to write anything, and therefore I have been M.I.A. for a bit. One thing I have ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/02/15/what-ive-been-up-to/ Bon Iver first caught my attention with his 2008 release "For Emma, Forever Ago". The album was one of the best of the year in my opinion, and many publications felt the same way. Justin Vernon, the writer and composer of all the music, spent three months in ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/28/bon-iver-blood-bank-ep-review/ I found Freekbass by searching through recent news of possibly my favorite guitarist: Buckethead. In one article, it mentioned his collaboration with Freekbass, and therefore I had to go check out who Freekbass was. It was a pain in the ass to find that out, mainly due to ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/25/sample-freekbass-junkyard-waltz/ Ok so I am finally reviewing this album, after listening through multiple times. Let me start by saying that the only thing that I heard about this album before I got it, was that it was going to be a more "dance popish" album than Animal Collective's previous ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/21/merriweather-post-pavilion-review/ The T3S MusiCast is back despite a week off or so.

I also have a review of ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/13/t3s-musicast-3-merriweather-post-pavilion-edition/ I've decided to veer off course from my usual postings to sample you all with some great ambient/atmospheric music from one of Steven Wilson's side projects, Bass Communion. Bass Communion is a largely underground ambient drone group who have released I think around seven albums, of which only one ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/11/sample-bass-communion-bliss/ Hey gang. Sorry that I haven't been posting as of late. I've been pretty busy with college things. Anyways, I've decided to post my most current playlists from time to time, to show you guys what I am currently listening to. Here is a playlist I ... http://thethirdsin.com/2009/01/11/january-11th-bus-playlist/ The second ever T3S MusiCast (woah, a name!) is here. For this 10/30/08 edition, I decided to make it a guitar solo episode. It mainly consists of older music, so it is a little out of the ordinary, but I think you guys will enjoy it. The ... http://thethirdsin.com/2008/12/30/t3s-musicast-guitar-solo-edition/ I go through at least an album a day. That said, there are definitely songs that I can't get away from. Songs that no matter how much new stuff I have to listen to, something inside me wants to listen again and again. I wouldn't call them ... http://thethirdsin.com/2008/12/25/five-songs-i-cant-stop-listening-to/ Here is the first ever weekly edition of the new T3S Music Cast! This episode is all (or mostly) winter themed music. Here is the track list: Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal Blitzen Trapper - Furr Kings of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You Frightened Rabbit - Keep Yourself Warm The ... http://thethirdsin.com/2008/12/23/t3s-music-cast-1-winter-episode/
