So yes its been a while but what can i say i'm kind of an important guy ...
First I want to publicly state that one of my goals in the near future is to proper upgrade the design of this page. It just hasn't been at the top of my priority list but I feel the reason why more people don't bother (including myself) is that the blog is not laid out well. The text spacing needs improvement. Some simple design upgrades can take care of that. Also I got lazy and started basically just reposting links from the sites I read which is kind of pointless. Links and videos should be used to supplement content not act as the content itself.
Notice the lack of timeline outside of the vague reference to "near future" so yeah, not that anyone reads this (besides B.C. 101) to hold me accountable. But that is kind of the reason for the need in the first place.
Now to more pertinent infomartion.
Is it just me or do you feel left out of the whole music industry interwebs diss factory or what?! The Cure dissed Radiohead. Miley Cyrus dissed radiohead. Wayne Coyne dissed arcade fire. And i'm sure Kanye twissed someone. Twissed = a new phrase i just made up which is cross between Twitter and Diss. Or maybe Twinsult, no?
NIN and Janes Addiction are coming to Darien Lake but I'm already seeing NIN at bonna, but I feel like that show would be pretty awesome. Or i wonder if Janes Addiction is going to be all old and not rock any more... doubtful.
I got notice of $60 dollar ticks for Lolla mailing list people. I might buy them and try to sell them at like a small discount online. Considering last year's tickets were like 200 I can probably come close to recovering my bonna ticket cost if I buy 2 or 3. Or maybe even pay for a trip to chicago in July.
The dark was the night show at Radio City Music hall is going to be amazing. I wonder who else will sign on. I would want to hear Beirut, Antony, Conner Oberst, Grizzly Bear all perform their songs, along with the ones that were already named. That Bon Iver / National track is pretty much epic. That album has given me a ton of respect for the guys in the National that put that comp together. Not only were they able to string together an amazing collection of msucians, but their own works on the album stands among the highlights.
At leaset we know A Bird can't perform at that show ... cause i'll be seeing him in Toronto instead that night. Take that Dressner!!! Ok, sweet I got my interweb diss in before this post was over. I feel like i belong now.
I like the Abe Vigoda album Skeleton, but I feel like now isn't the right time for me with that one.
The new handsome furs album is much heavier electronic based and pretty damn cool to listen to so far. Kind of less gradiose than Mt. Zoomer / Plague Park and more almost poppy sounding if you can call that weird Canadio Indie Arcade Fire-ish screech singing style poppy. I suppose i can. Further more, why does everyone from Montreal sing the same way? And further furthermore, since the dude from Arcade Fire is technically from Houston and he sings that way does that mean if I move to montreal that I am allowed to start an indie rock band and sing that way and claim to be down with the people?
shit ... i just wasted an hour at work. I could actually go on. I guess i have more to say than i thought. Well maybe I'll have time for another post soon ...

this is pretty epic stuff. I heard about this album a while ago (ala you?) ... but have completely forgotten about it. .. i'm giddy.
ReplyDeletehow the hell did montana diss rhead? I demand you drop the whole "originality" thing and go back to excessive pfork linking. .. because i refuse to go to that site unless it is diluted through you
dude. don't forget shitdisco
That's awesome that we will be at Bird the same night. .... its almost like we are somehow connected to Dark at NYC. ... we just have to convince the sis to go and tape record... live feed. .. and we'll feed back A-bird if he does the Giant Illinois song... and we'll be the glorious conduit of Dark Was The Night.
