Wow, didn't realize how long it had been since I had been here. Since then, I have seen TV on the Radio, which were just phenomenal. See them if they come anywhere near you. Tunde Adebimpe was into the show, dancin around and that made it more fun for everybody. After the disappointment that was the Gomez show, this show totally lifted my spirits. Subtle opened for them. I had never heard o

Been a While...
Moving along now...
Well, the Gomez show was unlike any other I had been to previously, and that is not a good thing. They had a very subdued setlist and I have to say I was disappointed. And when I say disappointed, yeah I still enjoyed it, it was Gomez, but it didn't have half the life of the other shows I have been to. With that said, I will still see them anytime they come near and hopefully the guys will be m

Gomez are coming...

So Gomez is coming to town (KC) on Tuesday and in honor of that, here is one of my all time favorites from them. This is a live acoustic version of R&B Alibi and it was the song that absolutely hooked me on them. I have been a fan for a long time and although other bands come and go in my top 5 favorites, these guys have been there forever...I guess going on 10 years now. I will probably post m

Again, any version of Free to Run is better than 95% of your cd catalog, but thats a fanatic talking. This is the original long version I heard live, which isn't nearly as long as the Black Eyed Dog/Free To Run, but still damn awesome. Maybe the Black Eyed Dog version will be put up another time, but for tonight, enjoy this nugget from the Fillmore in San Francisco. They didn't play Free To Run

Finally just sucked up and paid the extra fee to get my Gomez tickets online. I was going to go to the venue but just didnt have time. I hate that extra fee, but thats for another post. As you can tell, I have a certain special investment in the acoustic version of Gomez's songs. This is always at the top of my favorites from them. I cant remember when or where it was recorded, I'm sure I hav

I am trying to go back and listen to the LCD Soundsystem double CD, but I still dont get into that album quite like I enjoy Sound of Silver. I enjoy at least 4 songs off of SOS whereas I could only really get into a couple on the self-titled disc. So, here is a tune from Sound of Silver. I will emphasize once again, go get this album when it comes out. If you remotely like this song, you will

Okay, so I ran across another site hosting yet another night of the Arcade Fire playing in New York. This is again at the Judson Memorial Church, but on 2.17.07. I'm not usually one to get all in a tizzy about recordings of live shows, but these are pretty good quality and since Arcade Fire is everywhere right now and some of you may have for some crazy reason not have heard the new album, this

Snowden needs more publicity

Artist:
So Snowden was yet another blog discovery for me, but for some reason it wasn't all over the blogs like some bands. They were on a few different blogs, don't get me wrong, but I absolutely loved their album, Anti-Anti. They also put on a great live show if you get the chance to catch them. Anti-Anti is probably my second favorite album of '06 (behind Return to Cookie Mountain) and Between th...

I'm diggin MOG so far, I just wonder if I will ever be able to use everything it has to offer. Lots of options, lots of fun I guess, so I will just enjoy it as long as possible. I have been listening to some of these leaked albums that I hope some of you have heard out there. I just can't wait to get my hands on legit copies. There's just something to having the actual disc in hand...maybe its
