if that isnt one of the most distrubing things i have ever seen i dont know what is. for those wondering what the hell it is, its supposed to be a real life kirby. for those that dont know what kirby is, click here.

anywho, top of the morning, folks. you been missing muxtape and maybe you have your own server, or maybe a little server real estate to mess up? well, open tape has just the solution for you and i must contend it works very, very well and is just as easy on the backend as muxtape. i am going to assume that its probably very resource intensive. so if you plan on setting it up and it gets used with any regularity you may run into some issues with your host, depending on your hosting environment. you can see it in action here - it’s working on my podcast site that i will be updating twice a week. just started it last week and havent gotten around to actually narrating an actual cast, but its a comin.

the southern rock juggernaut known as dead confederate are playing here in atlanta, not once but twice. first they are doing an instore at criminal at 4 pm and then they will celebrate the release of the brand spankin new record, wrecking ball, at the earl - doors open at 9 pm. havent heard wrecking ball, but it does include “the rat” which kicks all kinds of ass. btw, they play tonight in athens at the 40 watt.

hola amigos! there’s a pretty righteous instore going on today at criminal, for those of you in the atlanta area. seminal trashy grunge party rockers, supersuckers, are playing, like i said at criminal, @ 7 pm-ish. they are part of the so-co fest thats going on tomorrow at centennial olympic park - its free and the gates open at 3 pm. the only other band that i have heard of that is performing is against me - liked their first two, the last one not so much. here’s a few supersucker tracks.

pretty fucked up off motherfuckers be trippin

a good night for my drinkin

hayden’s in town and field came out a few weeks back, which i absolutely forgot about until i visited aquarium drunkard yesterday. as with a lot of records its been on the ipod, but haven’t given it much time for some bullshit reason. so, gave it a couple of spins last night and its quite good. it’s definitely not my favorite, that belongs to skyscraper national park, but it’s a nice listen. if you are a neil young fan, you will probably dig hayden.

where and when

lonely security guard

pick up a few hayden records on eMusic. they have a 50 free download special goin on right now, btw.

i, admittedly, dont know much, outside of blister and add it up, about the violent femmes. whilst in college i used to sleep with a young lady that loved the femmes, but wouldn’t let her listen to them in my presence - yeah i used to be a major pain in the ass. so, when i stumbled across this femmes show from hamburg, germany on 2.7.84, i figured i would finally give em a chance. pretty cool stuff i must admit and for any femmes fan, which one is their best?

1. girl trouble

2. good feeling

3. blister in the sun

4. promise

5. flamingo baby

6. hallowed ground

7. prove my love

8. gimme the car #1

9. gimme the car #2

10. gone daddy gone

11. to the kill

12. misery blues

13. black girls

14. confessions

15. add it up


do we look like the kind of store that sells i just called to say i love you? go to the mall.

updated the captains dead muxtape, here.

today is national record store day, and i for one will be heading down to criminal to witness the days festivities - which should be pretty awesome. there’s two stages, indoor and outdoor, with the outdoor stage kicking off at about 1 pm. check out criminal’s site for the entire rundown, but playing the outdoor stage, the coathangers go on @ 6, anna kramer @ 7 and playing indoors are dead confederate @ 5.30 and hope foragoldensummer @ 7.30. i want to reiterate that there are plenty more bands taking part. check the link above for the shops in yr area that are participating in record store day.

patton oswalt pretty much summed up the whole record store experience with this little quip..

“The idea of, ‘The journey is the destination’ is put into action by browsing in an indie record store. Besides, a human being is a much better guide than a ‘More Like This’ link on the internet.”

i was so psyched last evening/early morning for comedy central played like a 6 episode block of insomniac. that was seriously a great show, and i dont think anyone could have pulled that off better than attell. he had the uncanny ability to make people look like total assholes while keeping said asshole completely oblivious. probably cause they were always drunk.

speaking of assholes, i am going to take my kid to see asshole santa tomorrow @ criminal records sometime between the hours of 12 - 6. should be a good time. check out the pics from last year.

the cover art for clear tiger’s brutal could be described as “frightening” or very least “mildly disturbing.” it conjures up a whole bunch of emotions, and really none of them being positive. firstly, i hate animal masks and secondly i dont like horses - i think they are inherently evil creatures. now, knowing that little nugget of information about yours truly, their depiction of an asexual being wearing some kind of fetish-like garment, face covered by an evil cat mask, riding a horse with its shlong in full view and brandishing a gun is purely disturbing, at least to me.

honestly, i went into this listening experience with little to no expectations and actually a little unnerved. to say i was more than pleasantly surprised is an understatement. brutal is a record that is devoid of any kind of pretensions and is simply just a great pop record with unconventional sensibilities. fans of animal collective, panda bear, the elephant 6 collective, oakley hall, talking heads, and probably the arcade fire would definitely dig this.

i like saying yes and watching you take

i dont need to sleep or eat

i’ll smoke a thousand cigarettes

– shit soup

those three lines, eloquently sum up my early to mid 20’s experience. a time filled with insecurity, indifference, anger and uncertainty than i actually care to admit. i am not lying when i say that sebadoh’s bakesale put(s) all that shit in perspective and helped me get through a lot of shit. its like a self help record for wayward music dorks. while those days are gone, there is no doubt that bakesale is a classic of the utmost importance - at least to me.

here are the boys playing at the social in orlando on 4.10.07. its a marathon 31 song set and thus part two will be posted later today.

1. (intro)
2. level anything
3. violet execution
4. scars, four eyes / stars for eyes
5. sacred attention
6. ride the darker wave
7. it’s so hard to fall in love
8. brand new love
9. cheap shot
10. broke up
11. moldy bread
12. attention
13. god told me
14. crisis
15. mystery man

sebadoh dot com has a bunch of shows available for download - free of charge mind you. here is a brief sampling

that was by far the lamest transformer, but yet i loved it so.  anyone going to see transformers tomorrow or over the weeks end? i am hoping to make it out on friday or sunday, or actually whenever my wife lets me.  my house is not so much a dictatorship as it is i have to use my “get out jail” cards wisely.  as much as i love my son, having a child really puts a damper on my going out and fuckin around time.

anyone going to see isbell next week at either the in store @ criminal or the show @ the earl? i will be hitting up both, lord willing.

not in the mood to talk about anything rignt now, but will instead encourage everyone to listen to the kamikaze hearts oneida road if you havent already.  in case you didnt know it was my favorite record of 2006 and tis quite amazing.  please do check em out.

i’ll let you in on a little secret, i am none too bright.  i have been using wordpress for almost two years now and just realized there was a “continue reading this post, break option.”  yeah its right there next to the photo button, the photo button i use every day.  anyway, you will begin seeing that continuation notification if i feel a post is getting rather lengthy.  shit, you guys know how this stuff works.

since i am on a live wilco kick as of late.  here they are playing at bogarts in cincinnati on 11.5.99.  this is a particularly awesome show.  part two will be posted later today.  the show is after the break.
