captains dead

i freakin love these guys, too bad the show is going to on mtv

god damn, midphase! i felt like bono atop the rooftop during the making of the “where the streets have no name” video. if you dont know what i mean go watch the video.

on another note, you can download a very cool comp featuring the likes of some def jux artists lik aesop rock, el-p, mr lif with cannibal ox, etc of the the adult swim site. check it

its rare that a record recorded by a woman kicks my ass. sadly, they have been few and far between the over the span of past 5 or 10 year. sadly, the only group of ladies capable of kicking said ass is sleater kinney and early pj harvey. its been my experience that when female artists attempt to “rock out,” to put it lamely, they come across as comical/cartoonish. marnie stern is anything but comical. she brings the rock, in a weird sonic youth meets joe satriani kinda way. not as artsy as sonic youth, and definitely not as masturabatory as satch’s guitar prowess. miss sterns kill rock stars debut, in advance of the broken arm, is like a sonic boom being filtered through a megaphone going off in a rinky dink studio apartment in the middle of some urban metropolis.? i would be remiss if didnt make note that she’s pretty hot too.

every single line means something

precious metal

the remainder of the iron and wine show will be up tomorrow.? i am attempting to watch the oscars – so far, boring as hell.

man have i been breakin stuff lately, or at least when it comes to this here site. i get to messin around with code and then the next thing i know its all messed up. luckily for me, there are other people out there like myself that think just cause they have a little bit of knowledge they can go messin with stuff, and inevitably break whatever it is they are tinkering with. its a good way to learn though, i guess.

before i get to posting the remainder of the iron and wine show from milwaukee – i am waiting for the rest to upload. here are the demos to wilco’s a.m.

these can now be found here

1. i must be high

2. shouldnt be ashamed

3. box full of letters

4. pick up the change

5. passenger side

6. promising

7. lets hear it for rock

8. gone

in case you fell asleep or whatever, here are the two arcade fire performances from last evenings snl – which was not that funny, sadly. they performed “intervention” and “keep the car running.” i was confused by the awkward guitar smashing at the end of “intervention.”

whats up people? its been a pretty boring week around these parts, at least for me. my wife, on the other hand, has been given the opportunity to create a munu for a new restaurant opening up in ventura, ca. her best friend’s sister is the owner of a couple of joints in the area and is looking for a chef, which my wife is, from chicago to open and create a menu for his new space. so, its kinda exciting but i am not going to hold my breathe. i have always wanted to live in california, and this might just be our opportunity.

i am totally backlogged on bands that i need to write about. sadly, i have found little inspriation/energy to write much of any substance as of late. one band that i think are quite interesting is the soft complex, straight outta d.c. the soft complex features ex members of burning airlines – ex j robbins band, phaser and trixie delicious, the later bands i have never heard of, but that doesnt mean much. from the one track i have heard, they have a guitar sound kinda reminiscent of early day duran duran – which i dig. i am interested in hearing the whole ep, entitled barcelona.
