Grovesnor track

this new track from Grovesnor (drummer from Hot Chip) is rad, check it out here: "Taxi to the Airport"

Shout Out Louds / Passion Pit

talk about blogworthy. you know i tend to only update when something REALLY strikes me as interesting. Shout Out Louds remixed by Passion Pit. that'll do.

Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (Passion Pit remix)

Salesman

them Salesman boys have done it again.

check out their newest track, complete with a bassist as Fry and Co. expand to a 3 piece lineup. "Skull" is a unique piece of foot-stomping country wrapped in psychedelic flare and pop pretense. expecting a big year from Salesman.

Animals as Leaders

ok so i'm ridiculously excited to see this band Animals as Leaders on Tuesday. Emos... same night as New Found Glory, Saves the Day and Fireworks on the outside stage... Sumerian Records showcase tour inside, with Animals as Leaders, Veil of Maya, and some other bands that I didn't think sounded that awesome on the ole MySpace.

Animals as Leaders is a solo project on Prosthetic / Sumerian records from eight-string guitarist Tosin Abasi. Music on the myspace, videos below. Crazy.

Lali Puna

dang it's been a minute since i posted something.... it took a track like this to shake me out of my slumber. here's a new track from Lali Puna. i remember getting a CD from her back in college when i was writing at the Daily Texan. years ago. that was her last album, Faking the Books. so good. new album sounds like it'll be just as good.

FREE LALI TRACK

enjoy.

Smith's Hoot Night

certainly not the best flier i've made but getting the word out either way. hosting a Smith's Hoot Night at my coffee shop, Thunderbird Manor Road, in honor of Mr. Johnny Marr's birthday. smith's covers from Unwed Fathers and Elisa Ferrari. free music, 12 beers on tap, 15 more in bottles. pre-party.

reminder: With the Punches Saturday @ Emo's

looking forward to it!

Future of the Left

i like this. yes i do.

night of the living dead

I'm a big fan of Cookin Soul's "Night of the Living Dead" mixgtape. the first installment dropped Biggie Smalls vocals over horror movie soundtracks. volume 2 does the same for west coastin Tupac. preview below.

Salem

was digging through some old emails (yeah... that kinda night) and found a video from Salem's publicist about their new video. i figure i saved the email for a night like this, looking for some new music and undoubtedly enticed by the well written press release. so as the roommates play Madden '10, i give you this.

Sunn Day

saw Sunny Day Real Estate for the first time ever last week at First Ave in MPLS. fucking unbelievable. seeing them again next week back home in Austin. in the meantime, here's a video from last night's episode of Jimmy Fallon...

With the Punches

just finished the flier for my first Emo's show in a LONG time:



Jesse from With the Punches used to be in an Austin band called Tomorrows Too Late (with members of Thieves not coincidentally). looking forward to this one. as you should be too. if you're between the ages of 17 and 25 and like super slick pop punk.
