on saturday, i will probably be attending the free in store by non other than mitch easter - the man behind a whole bunch of stuff but most notably for producing rem’s early, and finest releases. he will be playing at the aurora in the highlands @ 3 and then later that night @ the earl. here are a couple o’ tracks off his latest, dynamico.

you may or may not know, or care for that matter, but i am a technology geek. i visit engadget, gizmodo, boy genius report, phone scoop, etc more often than i care to admit. gadgets are my second addiction and they could be my first if i could actually afford them. i am forced to live vicariously through the brief descriptions and unboxings that grace their pages. sigh! as it turns out not all hope is lost in my quest to get my hands on the latest and greatest. somehow through the vastness of the internets, sprint happened to find mine and offered me a chance to participate in their ambassador program. so, they sent me the samsung upstage - part phone, part mp3 player and have provided me with 6 months of unlimited voice and data. at this point, i am really torn but i will provide a decent review in a few weeks after i have gotten past the learning curve.
lily allen the bj queen? sure why not?
i am approaching the new queens of the stone age, era vulgaris, with a controlled enthusiasm mostly due in fact that i am not a fan of lullabies to paralyze. it was just way to hit or miss for my liking. here’s hoping to a return to form.
here are the queens playing @ the bizzare festival in 2001.

hope all my fellow americans had a most excellent memorial day weekend. all you non americans i guess i hope you had a good weekend too. mine was interesting/good to say the least. imagine camping with a 2.5 year old and you will get the idea. or if you dont have children, imagine camping with a puppy that you cant keep on a leash. sounds like fun, right? sometimes he was great other times yeah not so much. we had fun though. i did get to push the limits of cleanliness, i didnt take a shower for 3 days. parts of me that i didnt know were possible to smell, of course stank pretty rank.
i will not deny that during the years of 1991 - 1994, smashing pumpkins were probably my favorite group on the planet. by the time melon collie rolled out i had kinda stopped caring, which is really no fault of theirs its just that i had grown out of them. i still listen to gish and siamese dream quite often, although gish is showing signs of definte aging while siamese dreams still sounds pretty fresh. this is all given the fact that both are more than 14 years old.
so it was with mild intrigue that i delved into this pumpkins show from paris. i gotta admit the new songs sound pretty good, this is to say much better than the shit on the last few pumpkins records. definitely going back to basics with more of a guitar based sound - which is definitely a good thing.
