I don’t know where to begin, nor do I know where to end. So I am going to sit back and drink a little Alexi back and remember how amazing he is live. Cheers!

Beirut
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 3 Comments
I just got tickets for the Beirut show at the Avalon on October 11th. I am very excited, I literally started jumping up and down after I got the confirmation of purchase. I am not really thrilled about the venue but I think I would go just about anywhere to see these guys play their hearts out.
And in other news emusic recently put up a new single of Beirut’s titled Elephant Gun, the single includes the title track, Elephant Gun, Transatlantique and Le Moribond (live).

The New Pornographers, Challengers
Filed Under Album Picks | 3 Comments
I got twinkle lights from Target! Except mine were only $4.99. They make the bedroom sparkle and that makes me smile. Weeee!
The New Pornographers make me smile as well, their new album Challengers was just released on Tuesday. An album filled with instrumental delights and harmonies infused with energetic pop. Once again this Canadian band manages to captivate my ears with their fourth success, I highly recommend a listen this album will be on many end of the year lists. Enjoy!

 I got in an accident today…I rear ended someone. Seriously? Yeah seriously. I cried like a little girl, not because I was hurt; in fact no one is hurt everyone is alright, it was merely just a fender bender but a major headache. Great!
The job has been fun…Really, I mean it is all good fun and good music…What’s not to like? Well I think I am just used to positions that pay me more and as much as I would love to be in the position where I can take a pay cut, I have a little bit of debt so this worries me. But we will see, one day at a time.
Speaking of the job I was working the other day and I had at least 5 people come in ask me about a band that goes by the name of Eisley and each of these people were looking for their new album, Combinations. So I decided to check them out and figured maybe I will post about them…But sadly I was mistaken…I don’t like cookie cutter indie pop-rock so I had to completely scratch that idea and instead decided to post a good electronic delicacy from the German band Apparat, their new album Walls is just delicious, and there is nothing cookie cutter about it.

Last week I went to see John Vanderslice do a free in-store at Fingerprints and I was quite taken by John’s enthusiasm I felt compelled to share a couple tracks off his new album Emerald City.
Sorry I have not been around I have been kind of busy and I had some PC issues. I am very happy to say that today will be my first day of work at my favorite record store Fingerprints! Yeah! I know it is very High Fidelity… I will let you know how it goes when I return.

Help Me!
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 5 Comments
Ok so I picked up this track on some record label’s site and I didn’t realize that the file had no information in it except for the song title, which is Listened On. What the hell? Who does this? Who puts a song up and doesn’t label it with all the correct information? Especially a record label at that?
Anyways I am calling out for help, who the hell is this band? Who makes this song? It has been driving me insane! HELP S.O.S!
mp3: Listened On
