KBZT just announced their next “About The Music” show....Bob Mould at the Belly Up on March 24th. Interesting...I haven’t heard the new stuff yet. Wonder if he plays Husker Du and Sugar songs?
Anywho, tix are $10 and on sale to the public on Friday. On sale to insiders on Thursday.
Sugar - Your Favorite Thing
Might I recommend the Alternative Station on Slacker? http://www.slacker.com/?sid=prog:28
Put it against any station you mentioned (including Ethel) and I think you’ll find it more dynamic, daring and focused on quality indie (which, in my book, is truly what a modern day Alt. band is).
You’ll also find most of the staples, although the rotations aren’t nearly as tight.
And, you won’t hear Metallica, AC/DC, Staind, or Disturbed on the Slacker Alternative station because there is nothing “Alternative” about any of those bands, in my book.
The best part, you can ban any song or artist you hate. Does it get any better? 
I can’t tell if you were joking about Joshua James, but it’s a dude. There’s no chick vocals in the song.
[go]I don’t know how or why, but reading this post gave me goosebumps. :O
Awesome!
[go]I am big time dorking out to Charlotte Sometimes lately.
Max Beemis & co. are some of the most supreme douchebags around. You’re lucky not to have had to interact with them on their last trip through SD. In spite of that, I dig their tunes.
The Bronx KILL. I’m not sure how it’ll translate on Warp Tour, but I’ve seen them a few times at the Casbah and the smaller room at SOMA. SO killer.
[go]i heard tickets are on sale this friday for san diego.
[go]Interesting how they discussed that the Internet was the future but didn’t really have anyone on the panel that works at a music based web site. Maybe they should give sites like Slacker a listen.
I love how those people are clearly out searching on Google for themselves, probably hoping to find a more positive commentary on their writing than he found here. That cracks me up! Hahahahahaha! I think that’s something my sis-in-law would do, and it’s an activity that makes me feel sorry for them a little bit…
[go]Apparently, you aren’t allowed to have an opinion of music, writing or anything else on your own blog unless it’s a positive one.
That bloviation is some of the most banal crap I’ve read in recent memory.
Unless you’re writing fiction, which that press kit one sheet may very well be, it’s kind of a golden rule that writers avoid the temptation to try and sound intelligent by using big words and semi-descriptive but completely useless language for the sole purpose of flexing their writing muscle.
In the end, it reads more like a sixth graders attempt at creative writing.
[go]Hahaha--I probably know that dude. Sorry--it *is* written terribly. Everyone tries so hard to be funny or ironic in their press descriptions, but so few are truly able to execute.
[go]Well yes, I definitely feel humbled by someone known as a “Chick Rawker”.
