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.

texan austin collins the rainbirds’ roses are black has been quietly making its way into daily listening routine for the past month - dont think i am just noticing this! i have been on the lookout for some new countryish/rootsy rock records for a while, since some of my typical go-to’s have been getting a bit stale as of late - see whiskeytown and son volt catalogues, and there is only so much burrito brothers stuff i can listen to. roses are black has definitely been filling that void, nicely. its a great chill out, drinkin on the back/front porch in the middle of a summer day kinda record. this is not to say roses are black is one dimensional, oh contraire my good people, collins is a hell of songwriter there’s no doubt about it. forgot to mention that roses are black was produced by will johnson of centro-matic. btw, dual hawks is phenomenal.

ah, its shit like this that makes me laugh.

i noticed that the search function didnt work so swell with the last theme thus i am testing out new themes with the hopes of just sticking with one for a while. pardon the confusion.

it truly surprises me that there isnt much of a buzz about these dudes out of athens, dead confederate. maybe there has been, and i am just oblivious to it. buzz or no, this is some awesome shit. this is going to be lazy, but i am so its par for the course, but think bleach era nirvana crossed with crazy horse. they have a newer ep out now, and a full length due this spring.

they are currently on tour, and play at star bar in atlanta on 2.29 - definitely going to attempt to check em out.
