I just got the new Hush Arbors Cd in the mail today after getting back from lunch. Please join me in the discovery of his new cd with a video from their blog.

Recently bought a Los Halos album titled “For Ramona”. Only listened to it once so far but initial take is a 7ish. The song “dagger bones” is particularly great and I wanted to share it with you below…unfortunately there is no video of it so we shall all settle for this.

Please don’t let what was get in the way of what’s next
Don’t forget
That what’s to come hasn’t come yet

This band is fucking amazing…sorry to speak in superlatives but it’s true. The song right after the interview is like a catharsis…joy. I’ve been dancing around my house all night.

They’re going to be playing a free show at the Hammer Museum on July 23rd (the Hammer has rad programs on a weekly basis which I go to occasionally; if anyone is interested go to their website or get in touch with me) but I’m sure they’ll have a show before then which I’ll post up here.

Bobby – Want to try to get these guys to open for Sean Hayes??!?!?! Let’s do it, “aim high” I always say.

I heard that Malkmus covered Bob Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man” so I looked it up on youtube. This is a masterful rendition of the original. My respect for Stephen Malkmus seriously grows everytime I listen to him, and especially to hear him play and preform like this, ranks him as one of the best musicians…

I am not sure how I am going to handle all the media I got from Coachella this year. But I figured I would give a gift to OceanRain who is a big fan of SuperChunk. I am not sure of the song title but I love the guitar harmony in the middle of it. The second guitarist ripped the whole time with new strings that he said were cheaper than normal and “felt/played like spaghetti”….sounded f-king great to me but what do I know?

If you’ve never heard of him, go buy “Rise Up”.  If you haven’t seen him live, make it a priority.  He’s a Chicago legend and when on, he’s one of the best acts out there.

Don’t worry, those goosbumps will go away in 20 minutes.

Seeing Tool live is a very special moment in every boy’s and girl’s life, so just giving a heads up to my loved ones on what was posted on their official site last month

“I’m sure many of you have heard of an upcoming summer tour. Although I can’t announce any specific dates yet (as the bulk of the dates haven’t been confirmed), once they are finalized and official, we’ll be sure to announce them on the site. So… be on the lookout for these dates to be posted soon, and get ready for live Tool this summer. (Now I understand what that elemental was referring to in the February newsletter) ”

EXCITING.

so i thought that maybe listening to The Bird and The Bee was a guilty pleasure.  some songs are great and who could not be hooked by this? and, surely, every girl has felt been through it.
