I was in a scramble last night around 8 PM trying to figure out what I should do with my Saturday evening. I came to the conclusion that checking out a new band was much cooler than spending two consecutive nights in a dark movie theater or even worse geeking out on my computer. For [...]
I just stumbled across David Bryne’s radio stream. You know him from The Talking Heads, you remember Once in a Lifetime, Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House… Anyway, his music has changed a bit since then, but if you dig that sort of thing then you will definitely enjoy his choices here. It’s pretty much [...]
Okay, I just discovered Pedro The Lion on Rhapsody about 20 minutes ago, but so far I am really digging them. Unfortunately Rhapsody only has an EP from 1997, so it’s pretty out of date. The sound reminds me a lot of Low, which is probably why they are actually touring with them right now. [...]
Why does the music industry think extended tracks are so cool?! You know what an extended track is, right? It’s the hidden track that is on the last track of a CD which happens to be after the actually song, typically a couple of minutes of silence in between. Why am I complaining about this? [...]
I was going to write a bunch about 3+ days I spent at the show, but I’m only going to put info about each band we saw each night. Day One: Nora O’Connor – Any chick who does a pretty good Tom Waits cover, “Looks Like I’m up Shit Creek Again”, is okay in my [...]
One thing I really miss about Austin, TX is Waterloo Records! I could waste a whole afternoon there searching for new music. Now don’t get me wrong Amoeba is an excellent store with probably one of the largest selections of music around. But the one thing they are missing is CD listening stations, which is [...]
Nicole and I went over to Amoeba tonight to trade in a bunch of CDs which we haven’t listened to for some time now. The total came to about $60 in credit so of course we spent it immediately! My half went to: Super Numeri – Great Avaries Prefuse 73 – One Word Extinguisher Brokeback [...]
Radiohead put on a great show last night at the Shoreline. The set list had a little bit for everyone, including Lurgee from Pablo Honey! VERY NICE! Yorke and the rest of the band seemed a bit off to me. I’m not sure if it’s because this is the first show of the second leg [...]
I just got this message from John. It went out to a list of, ohh 70 people or so. Too funny! Radiohead – My hero Chad West Special People, This past Sunday morning at 10:00am I was on my computer along with my roommates and other friends pressing refresh every 2 seconds on ticketmaster’s website, [...]
Well I woke up this morning around 4am and couldn’t sleep. So what do I do? Get on my computer and start messing around with my linux configuration. Around 6am I got a message from W.A.S.T.E, which is sort of a portal for all things Radiohead. The message stated that my tickets to the San [...]
