top o’ the afternoon people. man its beautiful here in atlanta today. the one thing i will never get used to though is that the wind is quite cool but that damn sun is, well, freakin hot.

if i were you, i would not miss william elliot whitmore tonight at smiths olde bar. i, unfortunately, have to miss him cause i am working but you really have no excuse except maybe pure laziness. i have not seem him yet, but from all reports, he is supposedly pretty amazing.

the chariot from song of the blackbird

midnight from ashes to dust

cold and dead from hymns for the hopeless

i posted a show from iowa about a year ago if you want to check it out. here

i like polyphonic spree, but sometimes they are just a little too much. now los angeles’ bodies of water, on the other hand, bring their take of the bombastic gospel sound with a more rustic/old timey feel. i have to spend a bit more time with their ears will pop, eyes will blink but thus far its pretty damn cool. check em…

i guess ill forget the sound, i guess, i guess

we are co-existors

these are the eyes

doves circled the sky

bodies of water site / myspace

part of the problem with working at night is that i dont want to listen to anything to poppy cause it’s kinda annoying at 3 am, but i dont want to listen to anything too solemn due to the fact that i dont want to fall asleep. so, i usually find myself listening to either mogwai or explosions in the sky most of the time. both perfect soundtracks for the late night set.

here is a 3.11.98 fm broadcast of mogwai

1. like herod

2. a place for parks

3. ex-cowboy

4. helicon 2

5. katrien

6. ithaca 27-9

7. xmas steps

8. helicon 1

9. mogwai fear satan

10. dj closing

go ahead, cornelius. you can cry.

i now remember why i stopped watching basketball. i cant handle the massive double dick sucking by the commentators. case in point, i am currently watching my bull vs the heat and the heat are on a bit of a run. nothing too serious but the bull has definitely looked better during this series. anyway, the two cock suckers are currently handing over the series to the heat cause they have played 5 good minutes, but they are only up by 3. you really have to be listening or i guess watching to understand my frustration. it all comes down to the fact that i fucking hate bill walton even though he has nothing to do with any of this. i just clump all basketball commentators into the walton shit dump. go bull!

any who, the polyphonic spree has got a new record, the fragile army, coming out on june 19. they have an e-card and 8 minute mashup of the record available for download by clicking right here.

so i have this hold steady performance but i have no idea where or when it was recorded. the only thing my folder says is “fingerprints” and craig thanks “fingerprints” during the opener. it sounds like and in store or radio recording.

as it turns out that that the hold steady “fingerprints” mystery has been solved. it was recorded and is being sold exclusively at fingerprint music in the lovely city of long beach, ca. you can purchase it for a measly 4.98 by clicking here. my sincerest apologies to rand, the owner of fingerprints.
