Upcoming shows at the Barrymore
In Chicago, meet my friends.
I’ve just arrived in Chicago and I’m getting ready to hop the train to the Pitchfork Music Festival. I’m excited to be meeting up with a lot of other music bloggers today, so I thought it would be fun to revist their “Get To Know Your Blogger” contributions to this site. So, if you missed [...]
Flaming Lips prep live album/dvd
After taping a performance at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl last Sunday, the Flaming Lips are halfway done with the first live album of their career. The rest of the material on the CD/DVD set will be drawn from an as-yet-unscheduled September show in the band’s Oklahoma City hometown.
Billboard.com for complete details.
Ben Nichols – North Star Bar – July 27th
You were mine, nineteen seventy nine, just skin and bones
Your favorite dress, motorcycle boots, raised on Rock & Roll
Now don’t, don’t give up on me, not quite yet
Leaving me, with only letters that, I said I never kept
Nights, nights so long, they can kill a man
Years, years so fast, it’s all the same
Now why, don’t [...]
Ben Nichols of Lucero at North Star tonight
I’ll be heading to the North Star tonight to catch Ben Nichols perform a solo set. Also performing tonight will be Colour Revolt & Dustin Kensrue, both of whom I am completely unfamiliar.
Shows start at 7pm and are $11, hope to see you there.
Back in Philly thank god for iPods.
I’m in Philadelphia through the end of the work week, and I can’t tell you how difficult it’s been not being able to upload anything new to my ipod since I left California with a broken computer, and all my music gone. Little did I know that there would be a hidden blessing in the [...]
Upcoming Milwaukee shows…
There are a lot of venues I miss seeing shows at since moving from Milwaukee, including Mad Planet, The Cactus Club, and The Miramar Theatre. They have quite a few good shows coming up that I wanted to let you know about. Tickets for these shows may be purchased in person at Atomic Records or [...]

Sean Hayes and Jolie Holland
If you’re waiting until Saturday to head to the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, then there is only one place to be in Madison on Friday night. Sean Hayes and Jolie Holland will be playing at the High Noon Saloon at 9:30 and is a complete steal at $12. I’ve been a big fan of [...]
New Richard Buckner
Richard Buckner is one of my favorites. I was excited to find out that he has a new album called Meadow due out September 12th on Merge Records.
Here is the first track made available from the album:
Richard Buckner – Town [mp3]
More info from Merge Records:
On September 12th, Merge Records will release Meadow, the 8th [...]

What else would you have me be
Rachel posted an amazing video of the new Lucero track “What Else Would You Have Me Be” performed solo-acoustic by Ben Nichols to the Scenestars site. The song is the opening track to the upcoming album Rebels, Rogues, and Sworn Brothers, due out September 26th.
TV on the Radio new website/youtube videos
I’ve been checking the TVOTR website frequently hoping it would be updated soon, and while still under construction, the site now offers 4 different youtube videos relating to the release of their upcoming album Return To Cookie Mountain.
A Tribe Called Quest to play The Rave
Who isn’t excited that A Tribe Called Quest will be playing the Rave in Milwaukee on September 16th? If I wasn’t going to be at Austin City Limits, I’d totally be there. Head over to Brooklyn Vegan for more dates.
Arcade Fire producing new album themselves…
Not much to report to you today. I purchased the newest release on Catbird Records by Tap Tap, which I’m anxiously awaiting. You gotta love the limited edition Hand-Bound, Book-Style Case w/ 3-Song Bonus Disc.
In Arcade Fire news, Chartattack reports that the band will be producing their next album themsleves. Here’s the skinny:
After trying [...]
Frida Hyvönen
I was recently turned on to Secretly Canadian’s Frida Hyvonen whose piano heavy tunes have been the soundtrack to this lazy Wednesday morning. I’ve especially enjoyed her video for “The Modern,” which can be found right here. She is keeping pretty good company on her upcoming US tour with Jens Lekman and Early Day [...]
Hell Under The Skullbones
I’ve been listening to Graham Lindsey for quite some time. The first time I saw the guy I was totally blown away at a show he opened for Archer Prewitt. Since that time I was able to track down both of Graham’s albums, including the soon to be released gem Hell Under The [...]
Band of Horses on Letterman
Band of Horses were on Letterman a few nights back and I totally missed it. Thanks to Youtube, you can check out the performance here.
The New Tragedies
New Scratch Records hooked me up with a fantastic e-mail by The New Tragedies which I can’t wait to share with you.
The New Tragedies are a married couple (Aaron and Bev Weidner) doing the chilled out indie-rock thing (with a pinch of alt-country). Think Ida, The Shins, and Red House Painters. They have a new [...]
San Francisco
I’m still reeling from losing my computer over the weekend, but I thought I would point you in the direction of another new Lucero song over at Macktronic. The song is called “San Francisco,” and it’s easily one of my favorites from the upcoming album Rebels, Rogues, & Sworn Brothers, due out on September [...]
