Granted, its 35 degrees outside, and when I went upstate this weekend there were four inches of snow on the ground. But, spring is here. As I’m writing this, the Braves and Nationals are opening up the 2008 MLB season (you know besides those two games in Japan that the Red Sox and A’s played [...]

Dear Abba
That’s what I’m calling my upstairs neighbor. Why? Because he’s a 6′3” blond Swedish guy? No. Because he’s a 6′3″ blond Swedish guy that listens to Abba. Without the slightest bit of irony. Would that make it more acceptable? No. But still.
His bass shakes shit off of our walls. Have I asked him to turn [...]

New No Age – “Eraser”
Dear No Age.
I liked your last album. I thought it was pretty sweet. Especially the parts where you wrote songs. That song “Everybody’s Down” is the tits. Just spare us all the noise. You write short songs. Keep it that way, you don’t need three minutes of feedback and weird studio effects.
I really like your [...]

Mile High Mixtape
I went to college in Boulder, CO. The capitol of jam bands. Never once did I listen to Phish, Dave Matthews Band, or The Yonder Mountain String band. I’m proud of that. Call me shallow, but its the fucking truth.
There’s so much creativity and talent in Denver and Boulder, and I believe that bubble is [...]

HTML and Nardwuar
For some reason I can’t do anything with HTML with Blogsavy. So fucking annoying. I’m going to try and find a new host to use, but I need something that will allow me to transfer over my archives.
There are a few media players you can use (Youtube, MySpace, Metacafe) etc. But not enough of them.
For [...]

The Mae Shi
OK. So I’m like three years too late on these guys. Maybe its because spazzy stuff stresses me out. The spazziest stuff I could ever handle was At the Drive-In or Q and Not U. Apparently, these guys used to be even spazzier.
Oh well. They’re pretty sweet. Check them out. MP3 and Video Inside.
From Los [...]

Record Store Day
Sloppy Seconds once wrote a song called “You’ve Got a Great Body, But You’re Record Collection Sucks.” I’ve totally felt that way about people before. And not just girls, but anybody who looks the part but doesn’t play the part. You can look as hip, or punk, or metal, or whatever as you want, but [...]

Gelmania – Tonight!
My buddy Jeremy does this comedy thing. Its pretty sweet. He books these shows, and gets all these “big” comedians to play really small venues all around the city. Over the past few years I’ve been lucky enough to see the likes of David Cross, Todd Barry, Eugene Mirman, Human Giant (and all of their [...]

Little Bands, Big Stage
OK. So the bands aren’t that little. The stage is huge.
It was recently announced that Ted Leo and the Pharamicsts would be opening up for Pearl Jam on an upcoming tour. One of the stops is at none other than MSG. In February, Against Me! opened up for the Foo Fighters at MSG. Last October, [...]
