SI.com analyzes which ballparks offer the best value. No surprise here, the Brewers come out on top. See where your team ranks. Here’s my favorite passage from the Brewers Fan Value Index Page:
The ‘hood here is merely an asphalt sea — but it plays host to the greatest tailgating scene in all [...]

Brewers are finally #1
Pearl Jam in Seattle?
I doubt I have any readers in Seattle, but you might want to drop the $8 to see OK GO and the Redwalls tonight. Rumor has it that Pearl Jam will be opening the show at the Crocodile Cafe. You can buy tickets here.
while I’m away.
I’m currently on tour with JJ. While I’m away, check out the very first episode of Conan O’Brien
First ever Muzzle of Bees compilation
I was thinking after Mallie at South of The Mainstream set up a surprise mix CD from her readers what a good idea that was. So, I decided to bring something similar to you guys. Here is what I’ll need:
1. Submit a comment (please don’t say what song you are submitting) on [...]
this should be the end of it…
For the past week, there have been a few iPod wars going on between myself, Jesse at What Comets, Stars and Moons are All ABout, and Douglas at the Armchair Novelist. We decided to make it a best of three, and at the last minute I had some other entries, so please post [...]

Sorry for the lack of posting, work is really getting the best of me. Good news, there are new additions to the Vegoose line-up:

Breathe Me….
I’ll admit it, I’m a 6 Feet Under fan. If you saw the final episode and want an MP3 of the song (Sia – Breathe Me) that played while Claire is driving to NYC, then head over to Stereogum. You can read Ruth, Keith, David, Federico, Brenda, and Claire’s obits here.

iPod war…
Everyone reads You Ain’t No Picasso and yesterday he played host to an ipod war between Annie (a fellow Wisconsin blogger!) and Matt and offered others to submit their lists, which I did. I thought I’d repost it here. I really wanted to refresh the random playlist, but I didn’t.

The Rosebuds
The same friend that turned me on to Lewis and Clarke has been telling me to check out Merge Records next big thing, “The Rosebuds.” I forgot about it, but just this morning got my first taste of the album, and I think it’s great. This husband and wife duo sings sweetly in [...]

Bare Bones & Branches

take a trip and multiply
Jamie Lidell was unknown to me until 5 minutes ago. I was reading, and had a free compilation playing on my iTunes here at home. He has a new cd, and it made me wonder if Otis Redding was really dead. Anyway, I must have missed it when Pitchfork reviewed it, and [...]

I got a comment from Eric at Can You See The Sunset From The Sounthside his blog had some nice MP3’s. I especially am digging the Thunderbirds Are Now! tune. They will be playing the Annex here in Madison on September 2.
I also found some other great blogs from Eric’s site:

you like to weep your eyes out
Work has gotten the better of me the past couple of days. It’s days like this I wish I had Greg’s job.
Time to give props to a Wisconsin band. Ever heard of Freshwater Collins? They have a new cd coming out in October. Check out their myspace page to hear 3 [...]

want to disguise your iPod?
My friend Justin sent me this from the iPodlounge.
Here is the link to the thread that talks about it.

I’m working with a new theme for my website. I don’t know anything about HTML, so stay with me through the changes. I think the changes make the site easier to navigate through. The links in the sidebar are music blogs, and I have added a “Websites” area to the header where [...]
