Austin or Bust

So I am off to Austin for a week, and I am really excited! Thanks to everyone who has given me and Joe loads of good recommendations. We will be eating lots of delicious food, seeing lots of music, and doing lots of drinking.

Also, I will be back in San Diego this weekend and I am really excited to see my family and brother! Also I am going to try to see Marie Antoinette, how awesome are the previews with The Strokes and Joy Division as the soundtrack.

I will have lots of pics to post when I get back and a full report on all the shows we see especially Detroit Cobras.

Saturday Morning Fun House

I love Saturday mornings, me and Joe make breakfast, I get to sleep in and listen to tunes. So a great point of discussion is what to play Sat. morning, it has to be something pretty chill not too jarring. IE- Joe's suggestion of The Dead Milkmen obvs gets vetoed. Also it can't be an artist the other person totally despises. IE- my suggestions of Ryan Adams always get vetoed by Joe (occasionally he lets Heartbreaker sneak in). So today I scoured our giant cd collection to find five perfect discs for Saturday morning and threw them on random. I think I did a pretty good job:

Nouvelle Vague, Bande A Part
The Kinks, The Ultimate Collection Disc 1
Scissor Sisters, Tah Dah
Sufjan Stevens, Come on Feel the Illinoise!
Pulp, A Different Class

So tonight is Bootie at the DNA Lounge and I haven't gone is too long. You should check it out:

Blammos will be playing this Monday October 16th at the Elbo Room and it is $1 PBR night, so you should def be there.

Also I will be going to Austin for a week 23-29 any suggestions of cool places to go are welcome, I will be seeing the Detroit Cobras at Emo's while I am there.

Halloween night Oct. 31st The Cramps, Groovie Ghoulies, and Demolition Doll Rods at The Filmore.

"He's dead Pony Boy's Dead"

So if this video from Jimmy Kimmel doesn't redeem The Killers in your mind I don't know what will. Hell I even like Sam's Town, but their latest SNL appearance did make me love them a little bit less. But this is hilarious:


Also I like the new Raconteurs video for Broken Boy Soldier, Jack looks a little like Trent Reznor in the Closer video when he is rocking the goggles. Not happy to see he is still sporting the chin strap:


I was pretty into Lost last night the opening was pretty awesome and I love how they are all in the crazy Pavlovian zoo cages. PR reunion, dude why is Keith such a psycho liar face?

Sunday Oct. 8th 12 Galaxies

Blammos debuts their new 5 piece Sunday at 12 Galaxies, be there or be square. And if you have Columbus Day off like myself, extra bonus.

Also Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is this weekend in GG park. I will be going Saturday to see Gillian Welch, Billy Bragg, and Steve Earle. I wish I could see Elvis Costello but he is playing at 4:15 on Friday, and I got to pay my bills by working.

Soul Night at Elbow Room this Saturday 10/7, shake a tail feather.

Also I am interested in Killers tix is anyone is selling them for face value shot me an email.
