so, on 12.9 brighten the corners is being re-released, as if you didnt already know, in the fashion you have come to expect from matador/pavement. i am listening to it as i type, and just judging it by the material, i may just have to go and say that this may be best re-release, thus far. it just may be my fanboyness talking, but regardless of its standing, it’s definitely worth your hard earned cash money. clicky the link for more info - brighten the corners info - it’s a word doc. btw, matador is running the buy early, get now dealio for this.

here they are performing at indie fest on 6.26.92. sadly, i dont have any brighten era stuff, so this will have to do. yeah, this is repost - over the next couple weeks its going to be a combination of new stuff and reposts, to be honest. need some time settling in and all that good shit…

well, hey looky here, the fine folks at matador/domino have announced a reissue/re-fancy packaging of pavement’s brighten the corners. been wondering when this would be coming to fruition. i guess the time is now. it sounds as if they will be doing some “buy it early” type shenanigans to entice it to actually purchasing it. i, for one, always welcome that kind of stuff, plus the packaging on the first three have been pretty awesome.

one band to come out of the 90’s that i have totally lost track of is the hothouse flowers. i loved their first three records, and then for one reason or another just stopped caring. as of late i have gotten back into em, and i must contend that their stuff has held up pretty damn well.

here they are playing somewhere in l.a. back on 3.22.93 and broadcasted on kqlz 100.3.

1. dj intro

2. thing of beauty

3. one tongue

5. an emotional time

7. isnt it amazing

8. stand beside me

sup, sup? zomg! i love my renter, dearly. firstly, she couldnt pay this month because her company, which is a huge company, stopped her direct deposit so she then had to wait until the 21st to get paid. well the 21st came and went and still no rent. now, she claims, through her daughter, that she is in the hospital! she had her daughter call me, after i put aneviction warning on the door, to tell me that her mom was desperately ill in the hospital. yeah, i called her at work yesterday and wouldnt you know it, she answered! i was not shocked by any stretch of the imagination, but i still hung up for fear that i may go off. i still find it hard to believe that a mother would put her 14 year old daughter in that kind of situation. she’s truly a piece of shit.

hey, matador has a cool little comp available for download, here. it features the likes of malkmus, cat power, dead meadow, jay reatard, mission of burma, new pornos, etc.
