I promise, I’m really going to write it up this time, just not today. For now, a few details. I saw all or part of 46 individual shows over four days with two duplicates (Thermals and An Horse). My music distribution wasn’t at all consistent. In fact it went 15, 16, 4, 11 (wed-sat, […]

So I never did get around to writing up SXSW 2008. And now that I’m trying to go through my notes to remember what bands I saw, I see that I didn’t even write down all of the bands that I saw. I did write some short lists though:
Top three austin meals

Polvo’s
Enchiladas y Mas
Rudy’s

Top three […]

I’m going to see the Dead Milkmen again.
Faith no More are apparently getting back together (well, without Jim Martin, and likely just in Europe - I guess it’s time to renew that passport).
SXSW is less than a month away.
In less awesome news, but possibly still cool - Jane’s Addiction might play SXSW
And in what […]

I haven’t posted about music in a while, largely because I haven’t bee listening to much of anything new lately. The newest for me is the latest girltalk, which continues to rock ass. I missed a million shows in september due to my recruiting travel, but I’m going to start making up for that soon. […]

After talking so much shit about Quiznos and hailing Subway, I got food poisoning from the Subway on 60th and Lex last week; putting off my SXSW and AC (10/20 limit woo!) posts for yet another week. They’re seriously coming though.
Then my fucking computer started blue-screening because of some horrible combination of fucking iTunes […]

South by Southwest is a music festival that is explicitly designed for people like me. It’s a marathon. Four solid days of drinking and watching music, but not in a smelly outdoor camping kind of way, in small clubs that are within walking distance of each other starting from whenever you wake up and going […]

Biggest asshole move of the weekend? Jumping the line at Burbon Rocks to see the Helio Sequence. TOTALLY FUCKING WORTH IT. And to my credit, I had no intention of jumping the line, I was just drunk and asking where I was supposed to stand when she scanned us in.

Nerd out celebrity sighting:

Aziz Ansari of Human Giant.
ROCK.

With the torn ACL, it’s been impossible to go to shows at all. I finally felt like I was capable of standing through an entire show and took the opportunity to finally catch Blonde Redhead. Of course, I didn’t make the decision until the show was completely sold out and I was forced […]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. The downtime with the leg left me a lot of free time to check out a bunch of bands that I’ve been meaning to over the past few months. And to top it off there are some other random music notes.

I’ve been crazy obsessed with […]
