Tonight is Higgs at MoGlo. Be there. I blogged about it a little over here at FFW>>.
Next Sunday is the Super Bowl, and is also the WYEP Alternative Souper Bowl. I will, with any luck be watching both of these events. You oughtta too. I don’t really care who wins the Super Bowl, but I [...]
I think at the end of the 2009, I could count the number of national-level releases that I had listened to and enjoyed and that really stuck with me on one finger. I could be forgetting something right now, but it wasn’t pretty, I know that.
However, right now I find myself jamming three new discs [...]
Hi blog reading folk!
Let me tell you about the weekend, beceause that’s fun to do sometimes, at least when the weekend isn’t just, y’know, sitting at home Saturday night watching college football because you can’t decide where to go and what to do.
Friday night, a dear coworker was observing her final day on the force [...]
So let me tell you about the weekend.
No good weekend tale can start without a description of the week that preceded it; mine was quite busy, what with attending shows and playing music jams with friends and whatnot. I was pretty well exhausted by Friday, but this was no time to be weary, as friend [...]
Black Crowes/Levon Helm show last night was alright — there were definitely some great moments, but the general guitar noodling jam stuff isn’t my thing, so I concluded that I’d just rather listen to BC albums than go see them. Maybe I should’ve been more inebriated. Instead I was just sort of stressed about getting [...]
Howdy.
What’s up with me? I had a couple articles in the paper last week that I forgot to tell you about, but none this week. A couple weeks off from writing for this guy.
But next week, on Wednesday, the 18th, I do have a reading to do — part of the TNY Presents series, brought [...]
Maybe it’s just that it’s been a while since I’ve record shopped. Maybe it’s that I had coffee yesterday morning then ate at D’s and was still reeling from all the goodness in my tummy. Maybe it was just a great day to score records at Half Price Books. Regardless, I made some sweet scores [...]
Okay, new articles — here’s one on Knot Feeder, preparing to release their first album this weekend.My other one this week is on No Triangle. I may or may not have missed the mark to an extent on that one depending on how you look at it; I think in retrospect that the player’s ideas [...]
Remember that time I locked my keys in the house? Yeah, that was funny. Know what else was funny? The other night when I locked my keys in my car.
Brian, Pammer and I went skating at Schenley Park (adult skate on Saturday night — I suspect if they decided to do an ID check, 90 [...]
Here’s the mix I made for the party last weekend. It ended up being a mix of what I consider to be devotional songs — from the obvious (Staple Singers) to the more metaphorical (Baby Dee) and songs about going places and being home. So I titled it Devotional/Locational. It’s a 90-minute tape, because I [...]
