Nine Questions for The Polish Ambassador

Saturday, April 14, 2007

Anyone who's been around tunequest for a while surely knows of my fondness for The Polish Ambassador, the Earth's greatest half man, half cyborg, all electro-groovin' diplomat. Anyone who is new around here should get up to speed by reading my write-up of his debut album, Diplomatic Immunity. After posting that review, I sent a list of questions to the Ambassador, inquiring about his species, his adventures, ...

The Polish Ambassador - Diplomatic Immunity: Retro Electro Futurism

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

When I was in middle school, I became a big fan of the first few entries to the Mega Man series of games for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Game play was straight-forward.

Trans Am - Red Line: Rock from the future

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Trans Am's brand of future-rock has been of constant interest since the day I first heard it in early 2002. I appreciate their hard-drive rhythms and computerized effects. In fact, before i knew any better, I thought the group was from Germany. Turns out they're actually from Washington, DC, which is why I also appreciate that they tackle political material in a way that's direct ...

My Ratatat Fix: Live at Lee’s Palace in Toronto

Wednesday, June 21, 2006

My lowly 15gb iPod, maxed to its capacity, can only store about 2000 songs at a time. At the moment, it houses albums ranging from 0-N (not including albums that begin with 'the'). Thus, I have not had any Ratatat grace my eardrums in quite some time. And man, i have been jonesin' for it, with no relief in sight. But in this junkie's darkest hour, I ...
