what is going on? hey man, brooklyn vegan’s got an interview with swervedriver’s adam franklin for your reading pleasure. adam and swervedriver are playing here in atlanta @ the masquerade on 6.5. i may be there…
wanna win tickets to bonnaroo? why the hell wouldn’t you? criminal records, along with a few other ones across the country, has a promotion that will enter your name in a drawing to win these coveted tix. i think all you have to do is buy one of the records here and your golden – that link has all the participating stores and such, too. please do yourself a favor, and if you are going to go forth with this deal, pick up the everybodyfield’s nothing is okay. chiggity check below… all three are off said everybodyfields record.

gregor | September 15th, 2007 - 4:04 pmits only about 5 minutes in and i already had to turn off the irish and michigan game. my irish not lookin so good. in fact, downright embarrassing. then to add insult to injury i turn on the red sox/yankees game and jeter knocks one out off josh beckett. i hate, nay, loathe derek jeter.
for those in the atlanta area, mark your google calendars for 10.5 for my man adam franklin, formerly of swervedriver, is coming to town for a show at the earl and an instore at criminal earlier in the evening. his new record, bolts of melody, is quite grand.
he’s got a shitload of other dates coming up. so, check his site or myspace for dates.
if you were to write out a top 20 list of your favorite bands and if this list includes the likes of echo and the bunnymen, joy division, roxy music, and maybe the cure then the men of boston’s junius just may be your thang. their new self titled record is out on 10.9.
in 1990 mother love bone’s apple was like manna from heaven to these 16 year old ears. the strange thing about recalling memories is that its easy to describe what you were feeling but more difficult to explain why you were feeling it. such is the case with apple. i remember being absolutely enamored by it, but dont really remember why. so, to get to the bottom of this, i pulled it out the other day and tried to recall, only this time with 33 year old ears. to say the experiment was a failure would do apple a grave injustice, but for the life of me i really cant pinpoint what i loved about it so. it’s still a great record, even if it time has not been overly kind to it, but you just have to put the time and place it was recorded all into perspective.
here they are performing in seattle on 1.3.90 @ the vogue
4. bone china
5. hearthshine
6. mr danny boy
10. holy roller
i think it’s time for amy poehler’s hiphop breakdown

during my recent travels throughout the interweb i came across a very cool, new collection of live swervedriver b sides and other oddities. in case you didnt know the swervedriver site also features live versions of each of their 4 records – which i still cannot recommend enough. here’s a brief sampling of some of their stuff. dont like to be spoonfed? then click here. btw, adam is releasing a new record, bolts of melody, on 8.26 in north america and 6.29 in australia. more information can be found right here.
