The Dashboard Melted...

but we still had the radio. Those guys are awesome. I thought I had heard they would be playing here? but it looks like it got canceled. AC is though, and TVoTR. w00t!

Its also pretty crazy they are playing here. Kinda wish I was in B'more for this. Another thing I miss about B'more was driving around and listening to local radio stations. The two best were 89.7 WTMD,run outta Towson U, and 103.1 WRNR from 'Nap Town.


I recently invest in an alarm clock/radio player/iPod docking station thing-a-ma-jingie and have been taking full advantage of the radio. Top pick in SF is KPOO 89.5.

Hopkins vs. Princeton is this Saturday. We Want More!

These guys are releasing their new album as we speak. Eric was my guitar teacher when I was 18 and 19 and taught me a great deal about playing, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the guys Friday.

Special Encore- All Along the Watcher w/ Christopher Ward

Christopher Ward's band Basecamp will be playing the Rockit Room March 20. Info here.

Maxfield's said that was the most white wine they ever sold on a Friday. Thank you Ty Taylor!

I listened to "The Pains of Being Pure At Heart." Kinda sounds like "Loveless." The new rock is this band from West Virgina called 'The Demon Beat.' I saw them at the Ottobar back in the day(Fall 2007), and I think they were in high school. Contact for the hookup on both these albums.

Live Blogging

From Pennsylvania Ave. And you know what, I'm watching Sneakers. Another reason why this movie is awesome- its set in San Francisco.

Alright, time to make some more music fans happy.

Hot New Hip Hop

Check out these guys.

Spike Jonez brother and some dude from Brazil. North America/ South America - Hit me up with you want the full knowledge.


Seeing as I didn't watch them, I figured I'd have a guest post from my mom-

Grammy's

"Rick Rubin got producer of the year. Robert Plant and Allison Krauss album of the year. Coldplay got multiple awards. They seem like really nice guys. They all get paid equal amounts of money which I like.
Check out ASCAP.COM there might be something there you would want to link to your blog re: song writing
Radiohead was brilliant. "
