Nothing much to say…this is just a cool song:

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.

Los Halos – Blue Star

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.

Cool things happen if you wait long enough…Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

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.

Stephen Malkmus dishes up a great Dylan cover!

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…

Superchunk – Coachella 2009 – TSS Video

Capt. AKAK — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:09:50 +0000

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?

Bobby Conn

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.
