what is going on people? me? i had to get a crown yesterday, which was all kinds of awesome. so, now for the next 3 weeks i really cant chew anything to hard for fear of it falling out. other then that, i got shit..
the men and ladies over at line of best fit recently unveiled their monthly mix tape so why the hell not check it out.
oh, yeah. one of my favorite music sites, coke machine glow just recently re-launched.
one of my top 3 favorite bands, centro-matic, is doing something pretty cool for their upcoming dual hawks, which is a two record set with the other record being of the south san gabriel variety. they are looking for submissions from fans on what centro-matic’s music means to them and it should be “more than a quote but less than a thesis.” i dont know if more than one person will be selected for the grand prize cause its worded strangely, but this is pulled from the email i got “selected submission will receive a free copy of the super-fancy limited-edition deluxe version of dual hawks, a t-shirt, and 2 tickets to a show of your choice in 2008 (except sxsw or other festivals where we don’t control the tickets).” interested? send your submission to bob@undertowmusic.com before 2.22.08 to be entered, and make sure to put centro-matic in the subject line. if for some reason you still havent checked em out here some choice stuff..
calling thermatico off fort recovery
triggers and trash heaps off fort recovery
flashes and cables off love you just the same
argonne limit co. off love you just the same
just to know what you’ve been dreaming from will johnson’s vultures await
closing down my house from vultures await
pacificUV, their name at least, sounds vaguely familiar. it may be all due to this kind of scenario. sometimes when i recieve press releases and their band to another band, sometimes i can only hear the other band. such is the case with pacificUV and the mentioning of spacemen 3. they are by no means rippin the legendary 3 off, but merely re-interpreting their sound, but there’s no denying the similarities. sure, i have only listened to this track thus far, but i really look forward to hearing the whole deal, which is entitled long player 2 and due on 4.1.08. i really dig the galaxy 5 “tugboat” type horn explosion on “need.”

i have been on a huge lambchop kick as of late. one of the many brilliant things about em is that each record is like hearing a cliff noted history lesson on the last 50 or so years of music. if you were just to read about, and not listen to, each lambchop record they would sound like an absolute mess, but when wagner and his extra large band put it down, its pure magic.
here is an absolutely stunning recording of lambchop in madrid @ teatro colloseum, on 12. 12.06. much love to the original taper.

(Once again, thank you so much for doing what you do…)
sorry bout that, fixed it…and you are welcome
thanks so much for posting this! I was priviledged to see Lambchop here in Minneapolis a few years back, and it was such a beautiful, intimate performance. this recording captures the experience of seeing them live perfectly.
Hey, is there any reason this show you recorded yourself can’t be up for download?
Are they cracking down on hype machine?
this is not my recording, and i have no idea what is going on with hype. if for some reason you cant download it you are probably using safari. if this is the case get something else and you should be all good.
