firstly, if you are in the atlanta and athens area next week my man ted leo will be at whirleyball on 8.8 and then at the 40 watt on 8.9. the show at whirleyball is an all ages and both nights raleigh’s birds of avalon will be opening the nights festivities.

check out ted’s site for upcoming tour dates

birds of avalon sound a little something like this…

bicentennial baby

set you free

their new record, bazaar bazaar, was produced and recorded by mitch easter. it can be streamed on their site.

if there’s one movie i am truly excited to see it is wes anderson’s the darjeeling limited which is out on 9.29 and stars owen wilson, jason schwartzman and adrien brody. like all anderson films before it, the darjeeling limited seems to try and find the beauty in the randomness that is the human condition. atleast, thats what i have always walked away with after experiencing his other works. here is the trailer for the darjeeling limited.

due to my complete and utter laziness, the remainder of the lyle lovett show will be posted tomorrow. in its place is richard buckner with six parts seven at turf club in st. paul on 2.28.07. thanks to dan for letting me share this show.

anyone got an invite to pownce they could send my way? not too sure what i would use it for but it sounds interesting nonetheless. if you do have one to spare and wish to waste it on yours truly send it to me at gregor at captainsdead dot com. thanks in advance!

ok, i got one from through this pretty cool site i found through alexa. its called invite share and people offer up their invites to beta/invite sites like pownce, joost, etc.  it works pretty well considering i got an invite to pownce in like 5 minutes. if anyone one wants a invite to pownce i got six.

two concert reminders for the atlanta area!

david vandervelde is playing with blitzen trapper @ the drunken unicorn on friday night. i will not be in attendance, but i definitely want to hear how he is live. so, if you go let me know.

richard buckner with six parts seven and trappers cabin will be playing @ the earl on saturday. i am hoping to be in attendance. i have seen richard a bunch of times but never with a full band. so, this should be pretty damn cool.

i am quite intrigued by trappers cabin - a local atlanta/athens outfit, i assume. i dont know if its one guy or what but judging by the amount of stuff he/they have produced over the past few years he/they are definitely treading into uncle bob waters. some of the stuff is kinda quirky but still very solid. he does a great cover of elliot’s “rose parade” sounds quite a bit like him too.

as much as i am going to miss jason in dbt there is still no denying that they are one of the best bands in rock n roll. this just means cooley will hopefully get more exposure and that is definitely a good thing. any word on a cooley solo record ore when patterson’s new solo is coming out? here they are playing at the high sierra fest in quincy, ca on 7.6.07. thanks to the original taper!

is it odd that while i love the magnetic fields, i actually feel the exact opposite towards his other projects - save the first 6ths record?� anyway, according to stephin’s site the new magnetic fields record is slated to be released sometime in early 08 presumably on merge. currently, he is working on a stage adaptation of neil gaimins’ coraline.

i have been listening the hell outta the charm of the highway strip and 69 love songs the past few weeks.� depending on how you look at it, they are either two or four, since 69 is 3 discs, of my favorite records of all time.

long vermont roads from the charm of the highway strip

yeah! oh, yeah! from disc 3 of 69 love songs

for those of us in the atlanta area, voxtrot is playing this evening, wednesday the 27, at the drunken unicorn. admittedly, i love the two eps but find their full length quite a dreadful bore. opening the evenings festivities is brooklyn’s, and misra artist, palomar. they kinda remind me of a less poppy velocity girl or as their bio states, the fastbacks. their all things, forest can be pre-ordered through the misra website.

our haunt from all things, forest

okkervil river is prepping for the release of the stage names on 8.7.07 on jagjaguwar - my favorite label the past couple of years. with only one listen under my belt i can confidently say that its pretty great and seemingly much different in terms of instrumental scope than black sheep boy, but sadly thats all i can muster in terms of an intelligent critique at the moment. here is the first single from the stage names

our life is not a movie or maybe

here is a beautiful richard buckner show from 2.5.97 @ the great american music hall

1. intro - richard bruckner?

2. slow down old world - willie nelson

3. 4 am

4. blue and wonder

5. raze

6. desire

7. home

8. eds song

9. song of 27

10. lil wallet picture

11. still lookin for you - townes van zandt

12. here - pavement

13. your lone journey - doc watson


no, gary. i like wearing my underwear like this!

i aint even that god damn lazy. sheesh!

firstly, congrats to rich from cable and tweed on being named one of the 5 atlanta bloggers “who matter” by creative loafing.? very cool indeed.? although, the tone of the article leaves something to be desired in terms of the state of the atlanta blogosphere. whatever?

if you are looking for something bump in your hyundai his summer i gots the record for you.? lil wayne’s da drought III is one of the funkiest records i have bopped my noggin to in a long ass time - see the coup’s pick a bigger weapon as a close second. seriously, this is some really? great stuff.? ? i love the fact that there are no lame ass r&b back up singers, which i absolutely abhore,? found throughout the record.? this is hip hop at its finest.? there is? another mixtape thats damn good? called none higher that can be found around the internets for free! check out the smoking section for the download.

an exciting concert announcement, well at least for me.? richard buckner will be performing at the earl on july 21 with a full band - which is quite rare.? kent, oh’s six parts seven will be pulling double duty - opening for richard as well as acting as his band.? i have only sampled the six part seven stuff via the suicide squeeze site but they sound really freakin great.? if mogwai featured horns, a lap? steel and a rhodes piano? they would probably sound like six part seven.?

stolen moments? - from their new release casually smashed to pieces

falling over evening? - same as above

what you love you must love now

sleeping diagonally - feat sam beam

on marriage - redefined by carissa’s weird - ben bridwell’s (band of horses) first band

god damn this humidity is killing me. i dont know how southerners in years past lived without air conditioning? anyway, i got nothing tonight except to offer up this buckner show from 96 from schubas in chicago. i was lucky enough to be in attendance at this show and it was glorious. it’s crazy that it was ten years ago!?

1. surprise, az

2. eds song

3. home

4. song of 27

5. fater

6. blue and wonder

7. down demon down

8. on traveling

9. boys, the night will bury you

10. roll

the remainder of the show will be posted tomorrow afternoon. you may ask yourself, “why does he always break up the shows?” simple reason, i am a lazy fuck and lose patience easily.

btw, for those of us in atlanta senor rich has the run down on all the great shows happening in our fair city this weekend.
