I'd just like to say I have NO sympathy for a program that refers to 8 wins as a "nightmare". Respect? Yes. Sympathy? No. It must be nice when you consider 8 wins a "nightmare". I hear ya. I have mellowed considerably in my fandom over the past few years. When you've paid thousa...

i agree...these are just kids, they don't have musical direction, maybe a little musicianship..they said in that RS interview--we wish we had balls like MMJ and Wilco to try new things (paraphrased obvo)...so the label just got them a heavy producer and they went from there...to me, they're no bett...

Back in late 2005 I walked into a Best Buy and out of the blue picked up a copy of Southern Rock Opera because it looked interesting. I wasn't even really that into music at the time. When Days of Graduation came on I was like what in the fuck, and when the first few bars of Ronnie & Neil hit I ...

Man, you guys got some hellacious setlists.

I feel like poo today. Bit of a late night last night. I think I need some greasy food.

Sucks.

Come on Zip...no Trucker envy!

1. Cain's Ballroom, Tulsa
2. Variety Playhouse
3. Tips
4. New Daisy
5. La Zona Rosa, Austin
6. George's Majestic, Fayetteville
7. The Backyard, Austin

Going to check out the Besnard Lakes on Cain's second stage this Friday night. I'm pumped. It's not often that Canadian indie bands of that caliber make a stop in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

officially got my tix this evening. I'm proud to say that in addition to my fellow trucker fan buddy from Austin diving up I've got at least five trucker "virgins" rolling out for this one

Bacardi & Coke Zero

Gotta keep my one man boxing thread going.

Anybody watching Khan-Malignaggi on HBO tonight? Pretty good undercard bout too with Victor Ortiz going up against Nate Campbell.

Overrated: MMA
Underrated: boxing

Excellent post.

Diet Dr. Pepper, what would I do without you?

I'm going to have to give this band a second listen. I tried to listen to Boxer but I just couldn't get past the guy's voice. However that also happened to me for awhile with the Hold Steady, and now I really like them.

the new Broken Social Scene album

LOL, i knew this question was coming and i know i'm fucked: Any song i mention will be somebody's favorite. But it's actually a harder question than i thought when i originally posted above. If "weak" means in the sort of creative writing class sense, that's different and harder than what...

I can see it now.... Webisode # 142... Cooley talking in a dark room.... "The record was just about done, but Patterson had this one lyric that just didn't sound right... "Don't forget my KFC Double Down, After the scene dies." But we had just ordered McDonald's in the studio and we ...

Okay that makes some sense. Still a bit random, but at least I won't be asking myself WTF every time I hear it now. lol

The graffiti on the back stage wall gets painted over in muted shade The club becomes an Old Navy After the scene dies When the last six-string slinger has to bow down for health insurance and accept the mundane After the scene dies When the last one leaves and the last note fades and the last dream...

I haven't listened to many 2010 albums yet, but Spoon, Besnard Lakes and the upcoming Born Ruffians albums are all really good. Oh and of course TBTD. That Beach House album is good but a step behind the others.

lol here we go

Elvis Presley
Jimmy Hendrix
Janis Joplin
The Doors
Johnny Cash

Lucero (seeing them at Bonnaroo) Spiritualized Ray Wylie Hubbard (coming to town when I am out of town, go figure) The Black Keys (Seeing them at Bonnaroo) Son Volt I hate to say it but you might be disappointed by Son Volt. I've seen them 3 times now, and they are the only band I can think of that...

Huh, I didn't even think of a Patterson solo show. That would have to be in my top 5. A Cooley solo show would probably be #1.

THS is definitely has a place on my list. I think they're playing in OKC sometime this summer, so I'll probably take advantage.
