sup? sup? hay atlantan’s the lineup for this year’s corndogorama @ lenny’s has been unleashed and it looks to be pretty great. its going on june 26 -29 and i will definitely be hitting up the shows on the 28, or so i think at this moment. i may have to rest up for the waits show on sunday. otherwise it should be a killer weeked of music related debauchery. speaking of waits and knoxville, are there any hotels near, preferably walking/stumbling distance to where he is playing?
in an interesting turn of listening events, i find the much ballyhooed flight of the conchords record to be completely unfunny and really quite shitty - maybe i expected too much. on the flip side, i wasn’t expecting much from the cool kids the bake sale but its pretty dope - is that term even used any more? if not it should be reincarnated. anyway, definitely diggin and appreciating the old school beats and laid back lyrical flow. not to take anything away from the bake sale, but i can only assume that the target audience, intentional or not, is hipsters and aging white hipsters who remember what hip hop used to be. will hardcore black hip hop fans buy into what they are selling? this is definitely more of a crossover from the hipster sect into the hip hop world instead of vice versa.

i am really looking forward to/not looking forward to wire’s 11th release, object 47. i have yet to listen to “one of us” out of laziness, but mostly out of fear. if ya never checked out wire please check out anything pre-1980 but i am mostly speaking about their classic debut, pink flag.

i can already foresee really getting into the broken letter’s sing the burning alphabet this summer. if ya dig nick cave, earlier my morning jacket, or magnolia electric co then you should definitely check these dudes from birmingham, alabama out.
