"if this is it, please let me know; if this ain't love you better - let me go!"and that's how i feel about it. "it" being this blog. not that i owe any kind of explanation, but after much mulling over staying, or going, or being sporadic, i've decided to just let the sleeping dog lie. in the past year, i've moved from atlanta to new york...and back to atlanta. i've left my job for another one, ...

What do Greg Dulli and Elvis have in common?
-
Artist:
I remember when Claire and I saw The Gutter Twins, he reminded me of Elvis. To answer the question of the blog post title, it's that they both sing "Trouble." No, it's different from the Coldplay track (it would be impossible anyways since Chris Martin was barely alive when Elvis was around). It was supposed to be on the piece of you-know-what soundtrack to P.S. I Love You. Anywho, Greg baby's ...

new year's eve edition.
let me first start off by expressing how flattered i am that some horrible little girl is trying to rip off this blog by not only almost completely mirroring the name of it, but also by using the same phrases, such as "bands i heart," that i (we) have been using here for the past 3ish years. it's okay, though, because even though you can try your hardest to fake being us, you can't fake good ta...

terri's 2008 year-end list.
I finally have the time to sit down on my bed and blog (as well as on this one).

I'm on the verge of saying this is their most mainstream-sounding album, due to the f...

news for those who like to rough it musically.
personally, i'm a big fan of showering and hanging out with people who smell like they just carved a chunk out of a bar of irish spring, which is why i tend to steer clear of the whole festival mess. but, for those of you who either (a) like to be smelly, or (b) don't mind shelling out money for the VIP section of festival camp that actually has showers, here is some good news. bonnaroo has ann...

Concert review: Quintron and Miss Pussycat
-
Artist:
Date: Saturday, November 22Venue: EyedrumSupport: Hawks, The CarbonasSeeing Quintron and Miss Pussycat was a bit of fresh air. There wasn't any sweating due to a billion bodies trying to see. After Hawks and Carbonas played (rather heavy for the setting), a puppet show opened up the headliner's -for seriously. It was lead by Quintron's wife, Miss Pussycat, who also did backup vocals and played ...

saturday, after dusk.
-
Artist:
Instead of watching a movie rental and scarfing popcorn on a Saturday night, seeing Quintron and Miss Pussycat at the Eyedrum sounds like fun. It's a husband and wife team - he's a one-man band, she's the vocals. Pretty cool, eh? Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Doors open at 9pm. As my friend says, be there or be nowhere! A bit of action.

Coldplay hints at a farewell... NIN pics
-
Artist:
Apparently Chris Martin would like he and his band mates to wrap things up be the end of 2009. The writer of the story doesn't appear to be a fan in the first place, along with giving away personal political choices, which is a waste of ink. Read the blurb here.Also, Nine Inch Nails did a Monday night show in Columbus, OH with some sweet deals - $17 seats!! But where are all the Trent baby fans...

New Ladytron video in the works

Artist:
-
Track:
Ladytron stated in a MySpace bulletin moments ago that a video is in the works for their track "Tomorrow." If they were to pick a song off their latest album, Velocifero, I think they should have done "The Lovers." But that's just me. The release date is TBD and it will be directed by Neil Krug, who did a Boards of Canada unofficial video to "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country" and Dri's "...

Artist:The British Columbians
the british columbians out of vancouver have a new album packed with canadian flavor that in some instances (like on "in the leaves") make me feel like i'm listening to kansas while johnny cash sings, except if johnny cash were into canadian campfires rather than rings of fire and kansas were flourishing in 2008. but don't let that fool you. listen to "hoodoo" and you'll begin to wonder if your...

Like the rest of the world, I am counting down the days until Twilight hits movie theatres. Yes, I put away the entire 2,000+ word series in two weeks when I first got my hands on the books because they're damned awesome!
