hey! hey! how goes it? oh man goes just fuckin awesome on my end. keep your fingers crossed for me cause its lookin like i am going to be off that god damn 11 pm - 7 am shift and put on a more manageable 3 pm - 11 pm shift. so if you got vibes send em my way, or dont, whatever..
the teenage prayers are kickin off their no sex 15 city in 15 days tour starting on the 14th. if you havent checked em out yet what the hells is your problem. king solomon burke thinks they’re worthy. you sayin you’re cooler than the king? who the hell are you? here are a couple of tracks off their yet to be released record everyone thinks you’re best. check their myspace page for dates.
the deadly syndrome sound like a warm breeze on an otherwise cool night - if that make sense. there’s a very folksie, not jon baez folk but like a califone inspired folk quality about em that just reminds me of an edge of summer/fall evening. their new record the ortolan can be streamed on their virb page.
has anyone played, well not so much played as clicked around, this game hotel? i happened to catch a brief piece on g4tv the other morning. they proclaimed that it was a great time waster, and while that is kinda true its too bizarre to be fully appreciated. i, typically, dont things neatly laid out for me to understand but this one was just a wee bit over my head.
if you are going to the celebrate brooklyn fest this evening make sure you get to the prospect park bandshell early, like 7 pm sharp, to catch friends of captains dead, the teenage prayers. following the prayers are the big sleep and headlining the evening is the hold steady.
top of the morning y’all. firstly click here! vote for the teenage prayers, por favor. they have fallen 80 votes behind and we need to help make that up. this is the last time i will ever bring it up but please do go vote for these dudes.
secondly, superchunk is streaming “misfits and mistakes” on their myspace page. “misfits and mistakes” is from the aqua teen movie soundtrack, btw.
thirdly, here is the clash performing at l.a.’s memorial coliseum on 10.29.82. its a nice soundboard recording, just to let ya know.
could she be any more captivating? i dont think so.
the other morning @ about 5 am i awoke to what i thought was an angel singing to me. its kinda crazy what you will think when you wake up abruptly from a slumber - even if it happens to be at work. the song that i woke to was joanna’s stunning “clam, crab, cockle, cowrie.” since then i have found a greater appreciation for her work and started listening in a little deeper than i had previously.
here she is performing @ bottletree in b’ham, alabama on 11.25.06. its a beautiful recording only marred by a couple glitches here and there.
**edit thanks to everyone, all 60 of you, who have taken the time to vote for the teenage prayers but dear lord people! there have been more than 1700 of you who have been through here in the past 24 hours and all we can come up with is 60? kinda disappointing people. we can do better than that. i just know we can. thanks in advance, again.
hey whats going on? can you do me a solid? well, actually not me but my buddies in the teenage prayers need your help. they are hoping to be nyc’s next artist of the month according to deli magazine. it would mean so much to them and me if you could just take two clicks, seriously like 3 seconds, out of your daily web browsing to just click here to vote for the teenage prayers. when i say it will take 3 seconds i am not lying. i figure that with the amount of people that visit here daily we can make it a landslide for the prayers. again, your pal, me, would truly appreciate it.
as a special gift here are two tracks from their recently recorded everyone thinks your the best - who knows when it will be out.
i think the prayers are offering a puppy with every vote or something like that. if you think your vote doesnt count get that filthy whore of a thought out of your noggin cause it does.
