Intonation Music Festival – Day 2
Waking up Sunday morning in Chicago to a damp and dreary forecast brought me to the decision of checking out the city, taking it easy and waiting till the evening to head back to Union Park. The only acts that I was really interested in seeing were Robert Pollard and Bloc Party, and I was [...]
Pearl Jam to play VH1 Storytellers
VH1 will be airing Pearl Jam’s performance on Storytellers this Saturday, July 1st. You can check out the commercial for the performance here, but if you’re a fan I would urge you to check out the most recent interview Eddie Vedder did with Rolling Stone as well as the exclusive feature interview. Who knew Eddie [...]
Intonation Music Festival – Day 1
It’s Monday evening, and you’d think finally getting back to Wisconsin and in bed by 3:30am would be result of a great weekend. The weekend was incredible, so much fun, near perfect weather, good people, and great music. All that was a little fleeting when I woke up and realized I had slept through my [...]
Mason Jennings Pabst Theatre – June 23rd
Mason Jennings took the stage at the Pabst Theater in quite a different light than his previous trips to Milwaukee. In fact, I can remember watching Mason play at the Vox on Prospect to about 40 people only a few years ago. The days of small venues has changed with Mason finally signing to a [...]

Beirut in Cambridge
I was in Chicago checking out Intonation, while Jake was in Boston checking out Beirut. He was nice enough to do a review of the show for us…
Beirut played to a packed house at the Lilypad in Cambridge, Mass., a venue that apparently has some other function during the daylight hours that I couldn’t [...]

Here’s a look back on this weeks haps on Muzzleofbees.com in case you missed anything. Have a good weekend, and make sure to stop back next week to check out my pictures and review of the Intonation Music Festival this weekend in Chiacgo.
I saw Radiohead in Chicago on Monday, and wrote about it and took [...]
Lily Allen covers Kaiser Chiefs
I’m heading to the Pabst Theatre tonight to catch Mason Jennings, but before I skip town I wanted to hook you up with a track that’s off the chain. Blogger favorite Lily Allen drops a wonderful cover of the Kaiser Chiefs’, “Oh My God.”
Lily Allen – Oh My God (Kaiser Chiefs cover) [mp3]
Lollapalooza schedule announced
__________
WOW – I was excited already, but seeing this schedule makes me realize how incredible this festival is going to be. I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to get one of the initial $45 tickets. Who else is going?

Day Two
Day Three
Get to know your blogger – I Guess I’m Floating (Part 1)
I’m happy to provide the first of two “get to know your blogger” features for I Guess I’m Floating. I am actually posting these in reverse order of how they came to me, but they are both great and I hope you enjoy reading them as I much as I have. So to start off, [...]
LovingKindness
Alan Singley & Pants Machine were complete strangers to me until I checked my mailbox a couple of days ago on my lunch hour. The album arrived at the right time as I was just about to embark on a quick road trip to the windy city to catch Radiohead for the first time.
Alan Singley [...]
You should know, read, and hear…
Last week while in Washington, I stumbled into the Claude Taylor Photography store. I ended up purchasing five prints and I couldn’t be happier with them. If you’re ever in DC, make sure to make sure to stop in and check out his work.

This weekend is the Intonation Music Festival in Chicago. I’ll be heading [...]
Get to know your blogger – Village Indian
I’m happy to announce that I have some new “get to know your blogger” features on the way this week and I wanted to start off with one of my favorites, Village Indian. Not only does Amrit have a fantastic blog, but you can also find him posting his concert reviews of the NYC [...]
TV On The Radio live cookies
Yesterday Pitchfork gave some new details about the upcoming TV On The Radio album. While I’m at it, what is going on with the TVOTR website? I don’t know how many cookies I’ve sat back and watched the stick figure toss atop the mountain in hopes with each subsequent throw I would be magically transported [...]
Radiohead in Chicago – Night 1
The streets outside the Chicago Auditorium Theatre were paved with giddy enthusiasm as concert goers waited, most patiently, for a chance to see Radiohead on one of the most sought after tickets in the nation right now. While I didn’t see it personally, I talked to numerous individuals that reported seeing a guy in search [...]
New Thom Yorke Interview.
Thom offers up a great interview with The Observer today:
He explained that The Eraser was ‘an accumulation of really sketchy ideas that were going around since I learnt how to use the laptop properly.’ It’s an insidious collection of skittery beats and pattery rhythms and minimal post-rockisms
Radiohead in Chicago tomorrow night…

__________
I can’t sleep and the only logical explanation is that I’ll be seeing Radiohead for the very first time tomorrow evening. If that wasn’t great enough the Black Keys are going to open the place up, how sweet is that? I’m trying my best to not have any expectations going into this [...]
