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 […]

I distinctly recall saying that I had no intention of ever going back to ACL; that apparently was a lie. Enamored with the thought of seeing Bjork, LCD Soundsystem, Blond Redhead, PB&J, Devotchka and a whole slew of other bands that I’ve been attempting to see all year, I bought my tickets while there were […]

Minus the Bear at the Warsaw 10/5/07
I swear they get better every time I see them. If I had to make one complaint, it’s that everything sounds exactly like it does on the albums. Which when you really think about it, is a fucking unbelievable feat on its own. The only other band I’ve seen […]

Somehow though I had decided to stop with the party action early on Friday, I was still too spent to get out of bed until around 1pm on Saturday. I treated myself to one of the finest meals I have missed in the ten months I’ve been living in New York - Taco Bell. There […]

For day 3, I managed to get downtown again before 2pm, quite an accomplishment considering how well I did last year. I decided to skip the Stooges at KEXP, since I wasn’t too familiar with them and had no desire to deal with the crowd at their show. Instead I went to Emo’s to […]
