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. "

Musical History

A friend asked me this weekend what the Number 1 song was on the day I was born. I was impressed with the question and didn't have the answer. Being the music junkie that I am, I have found the answer.

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

What was yours?

Also, someone tried telling me Heat was the best ensemble cast movie, but I think it was this one.

Time For A Change

That's right, I finally got a new pair of sneakers. My first pair in over a year.

I will probably retire my BMORE Air Force Ones with the Management laces. Anyone who can explain the irony of my sneakers will get a ticket to a concert of my choosing.

Just to put everything in perspective.

Old soul, and new.

This is pretty rad, I guess.

Well, they did it again

Death Cab makes a new record, and I don't listen to it for the first 8-12 months its been out, and when I finally come around to it, its awesome. I would have definitely put this on my Tops of 08 list had I listened to it. In all fairness, I did listen to "Cath" about 13,000 times in a row after Craig posted it on his blog back in April or May. An "We Have The Facts And We Are Voting Yes" will always be an all-time Top 10.

The reason I know 'Narrow Stairs" is great is because I've been listening to it here.

Honestly, this Hype Machine application/special/whatever you would call it definitely one of the best music releases of 09. Super sleek and smooth and useful. Its one of those things that make me say, "I would actually spend money to have access to this." Not alot of money, maybe somewhere between $2.99-$4.99, but still.

The Gaslight Anthem album has struck a particular chord with me. Also, what's up with these guys. Better announce a West Coast tour.

Tonight is an hour long episod of "The Office" and I almost finished writing a new song on my back deck today. Life is good.
