The last time Jeff Tweedy performed in Arizona, it was in Tucson and I missed it due to the fact my daughter had just been born. I was bummed to be missing one of my favorite bands (Girzzly Bear opened for them also!) but what could I do? Fortunately for me, Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy will be bringing his solo show to the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix this December. Not quite as good as gettin...
If you didn't already know this ElectricMustache is headquartered in Phoenix so we have our fair share of pool parties around town (that we are not cool enough to get invited to) and when I think about them this video is exactly how I imagine them. I miss summer, these mid 70's temps are to balmy for me to handle yo.
I guess I better post this effing song right? It's all over the interwebs and people are already saying Beach House's album coming out next year is going to be the album of the year for 2010. WTF? I really think it is to early to be making those kind of bold statements. What if Hanson gets back together or Shakira does a collaboration with Perry Ferrel and one of Old Dirty Bastards kids or some...
So it has been like a year almost since Merriweather Post leaked...shiiiiiittttt. Can you believe it? Time fly's when you are having moderate amusement. The new AnCo EP Fall Be Kind is out soon and this song is off of it.Animal Collective "Graze"
Those guys over at Stereogum have scooped us AGAIN with the premiere of Chll Pll's video for "Tales From The Crypt" This sort of thing happens to us all the time so don't feel to bad about it. via: Stereogum
I love The Golden Filter and I can't wait for their full length album to come out "some time next year" but in the meantime we have a new video for "Thunderbird" directed by the awesome Aussie director team Moopjaw.
The latest video from Vampire Weekend for the song "Cousins" which comes off of their forthcoming album Contra. I like the video, but I think the song needs some time to grow on me. What do you guys think?
AwwwMaaaannnn, was it ever a good show at The Rhythm Room on Tuesday! Everybody did a great job and I couldn't be more proud of all parties involved, they sound was great, everything started on time and my shoes were very comfortable as well. If you went to Mesa to check out the Swell Season you probably had a good time and I am not going to say anything bad about you but I feel like you really...
Have you ever been sitting on the light rail, twiddling your thumbs, trying hard not to breathe in the body odor of the guy sitting next to you and though to yourself: man, I wish I was listening to Bon Iver's Daytrotter session? I know I have. Well, fear not, because now there is an app for that. Yes, now all the cool kids who have an iPhone can take Daytrotter with them wherever they go th...
Beck, Wilco, Feist and your mom got together to cover Skip Spence’s “Little Hands”. Up until RIGHT NOW I had no idea who the hell Skip Spence is/was but he was apparently in Jefferson Airplane and did lots of drugs and now he is dead (since 1999). Enjoy the song boners!
Well this is what you get today. It's getting more sparse every week. Go old dudes that have done a shit ton of drugs!Them Crooked Vultures by Them Crooked VulturesUPDATE! Superstition by Christy and Emily I totally missed this one but it's REALLY good!Here is a video for a song from this very same album BiRd-BrAiNs by tUnE-yArDsJack and Coke by Artie LangeSpace Oddity (40th Anniversary Edition...
It's amazing to me how many people I talked to who have not seen The Wire. It is in my book the best show in the history of television. It is so good that Harvard will now be offering a class on the show. If you don't believe how good this show is, I invite you to watch this YouTube video that someone put together with their top 100 quotes from the shows five seasons. I don't think they are...
Hey everybody, I finally had time to properly tag these videos I took of Black Carl last Friday at Modified Arts so I thought I would share them with your eyes and ears. Mike will probably give me shit about how shaky they are but that is because the floor was literally bouncing up and down. I thought the speakers were going to fall over and kill me and several other people. That is how well "t...
If you like the band Minus the Bear then you will be please to know that I personally have embedded this imeem music player that will digitally stream their newest single "Into the Mirror" to your ears via the internet. You may also be interested to know that you can purchase this song AND another called "Broken China" (do you think they are talking about the socioeconomic problems or the count...
I'm extremely bummed by the fact that the King Khan & BBQ Show got canceled as a result of the band's arrest. Not that this really makes up for it but here is the video for "I'll Be Loving You" from King Khan & BBQ Show's recently released Invisible Girl. [via: pitchfork]
According to Statesidepresents.com (the show's promoter) tonight's King Khan & BBQ Show with Those Darlin's has been canceled. This is no surprise after the whole "getting arrested for drugs" episode last week. And their tour manager possibly still being in jail I doubt they wanted to get any further away from Canada by coming to Sherrif Joe's neck of the woods. There is no news of any reschedu...
Petty good start to the final Modifest, not to many people showed up but I think it had/has something to do with that "Greenfest" shenanigans on Roosevelt. I had to walk like two blocks or something to get there.That would also explain why it was pretty packed by the time Black Carl hit the stage...since they road was opened again n' such.I have decided that Black Carl is the best live band in ...
Well as some or all or none of you may know Modifest is this weekend. What is Modifest you ask? It's three days of awesome local bands playing at the soon to be "different" Modified Arts all for charity.This really is a "whos who" of the Phoenix scene. Every night is jam packed with tasty goodness and only costs $5 per night, even though they should have sold a 3 day pass for $12 or something t...
