I said yes. She said "Are you friends with those guys?" I said "No, I know them, but we're not really friends." She said "Well next time you see them, tell them to stop playing sucky closers and to start writing their own music."<br /><br />I laughed, but she hung up too soon to hear it.<br /><br />Kudos to you, girl.

The venues were announced few weeks ago and have been posted on the sidebar, but here they are again for you:<br /><br />Cannery Ballroom<br />Mercy Lounge<br />Exit/In<br />The Rutledge<br />12th & Porter<br />The End<br />The Basement<br />3rd & Lindsley<br />Belcourt Theatre<br />City Hall<br />Rcktwn<br />Edgehill Studios<br />5 Spot<br />Grimey's Records<br />Bluebird Café<br /><br />Some more should be added in the upcoming weeks. As well, fifty or so more acts will be announced early next week, including two coveted spots for bands selected by the good old democratic process. Head over to <a href="http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/nashvillecream/2008/08/next_big_nashville_bands_annou.php#more">Nashville Cream</a> to vote for the local act you'd like to see. All of those already announced are below, with my picks in bold. If you missed the festival last year (and I did, I was working on a show all weekend), it was the it place to be all week both for excellent local music and to strut your stuff around the Nashville scene. The local faux-celebrities were out in full force, the music was killer, and while there were more local favorites than up-and-comers, nearly every show got rave reviews. You can buy wristbands <a href="http://www.ticketsnashville.com/WebSales/Pages/PackageTypeSelect.aspx?epguid=81d20f01-d846-4ff2-86cb-14638bed94a7&">here</a> for only 35 bucks. Look at it this way: if you make it to more than four shows, you've easily made your money back.<br /><br />13 Ghosts<br />500 Miles to Memphis<br />Aaron Robinson<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">All We Seabees</span><br />Altered Statesman<br />Alva Leigh<br />And the Relatives<br />Andy Davis<br />Angel Snow<br />Annaliese<br />Aron Wright<br />Audrey Spillman<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">AutoVaughn</span><br />Biscuits N Gravy<br />Brian Ritchey<br />Bryan Cates<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Butterfly Boucher</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Caitlin Rose</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cake Bake Betty</span><br />Cali<br />Canon Blue<br />Carey Ott<br />Cary Ann Hearst<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cassino </span><br />Codaphonic<br />Coral Castles<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cortney Tidwell</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cory Branan</span><br />Cougar Fight<br />Courtney Jaye<br />Dabney Morris<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Danger Bear--playing Saturday at the Basement</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dawson Wells</span><br />Disappointed by Candy<br />Dead Confederate<br />Dignan<br />Duquette Johnston<br />Eastern Block<br />Egon (Stones Throw records)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Elle Macho feat.

Check out some of the highlights below, as well as the usual stuff on the sidebar. I'll try to keep you updated on my picks for the week. For this weekend, my entire crew will be at Chris Freeman's show at The 5 Spot, featuring local favorites The Velcro Stars and LYLAS. It's his very last one before he takes off to Portland, and I'm expecting a crowd. Come early to catch the wonderful Seth Moore and to play a little pool, as well as knock a few back before the bar gets crowded. Wear your divebar attire, or come overdressed, like me, and tip well--the bartenders there pour generously and work their asses off on crowded nights.<br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class="on down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"></span></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Upcoming in Nashville:</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">TOMORROW--August 8th. </span> Connor Oberst plays at Grimeys, 6pm.<br /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">August 19th. </span>The Walkmen's latest, <span style="font-style: italic;">You & Me,</span> is officially released--for only five bucks.

I haven't heard anything but their remix album (which, admittedly, is a lot of fun to dance to) and hype and hype and hype, and I was pretty disappointed. Their schtick seems to be hurling themselves around like mad and pausing to look really fucking exhausted at every opportunity. I would believe the latter, except that they all walked onstage looking, well, really fucking exhausted. Clinging to drums and sinking to the ground and inhaling great lungfuls of air and panting them out at us. I didn't buy it.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sdlmyxn3mnx">"Crimewave" (Crystal Castles v.

Their live show is so great off of their personalities alone, that the rest just seems to get in the way. I was neutral on Khan's gold cape and navy boxer briefs (in this crowd, I was just thankful they weren't American Apparel briefs), but really bothered and put off by the bands 'cheerleader', some chick in a blue flapper dress and gold-spangled underwear that I saw way too much of. Where the musicians' glee was infectious, hers seemed affected. Khan doesn't need the act--why include it?

After two shows I got used to the routine: never a word between songs, never an acknowledgement of the crowd's yells, then a sudden act of violence--battering into a microphone or hurling a guitar across stage--before exiting, coming back on to clap at the audience, and exiting for good.I was so struck by this show and seeing them again in Nashville Tuesday night that I got goosebumps when I realized how close I was to them. We worked our asses off for an encore, but it didn't happen.

Pitchfork 2008 was great for a lot of reasons, despite the rain on Saturday which kicked in just enough to birthe a giant mud pit and ruin my shoes, and despite my friends who were incensed that I wouldn't leave and miss Dinosaur Jr. on Sunday. <span style="font-style: italic;">Come on!</span><br /><br />Thanks again to Kate for subbing on Friday, and you can check out all she played <a href="http://129.59.202.44/playlistarchive/playlist_detail.php?pop=display_show&sid=581695">here</a>!<br /><br />Below is my rundown of the bands I saw on the first day of Pitchfork. The second day is forthcoming. We took it a little easier this year, and instead of either camping out at a stage or refusing to take a break from the music all weekend, we did a little shopping (I scored Cheap Trick's <span style="font-style: italic;">Heaven Tonight </span>on vinyl for 5 bucks!) and actually tried the food (the ginger chicken was supreme). This means I saw slightly fewer bands, and was not in the front for all of them--although I came pretty close for a few. I had great company--my friend Mike and his crew on the first day, and my two indie cousins on the second day--and actually didn't get sunburned this year! I also shared my sunscreen with about half a dozen red-necked hipsters, made friends with (most of) the crowd around us, and had a delightful weekend.<br /><br />Check it out.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Saturday, July 19</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5bs4GqC5gDR7Yq6E_w5C5oLfYbDzbMnolyof3ERbx-KufTTjLMU4xEhxq9fZa5IkwvdgdyjKwgC08Ed-LlgPxpGE0OP69sphdT1YRbFosdO8O3Krom4zDJe3aqyhU9RIiYQ-7RwZ-AM/s1600-h/n4709008_33777223_7070.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5bs4GqC5gDR7Yq6E_w5C5oLfYbDzbMnolyof3ERbx-KufTTjLMU4xEhxq9fZa5IkwvdgdyjKwgC08Ed-LlgPxpGE0OP69sphdT1YRbFosdO8O3Krom4zDJe3aqyhU9RIiYQ-7RwZ-AM/s400/n4709008_33777223_7070.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226269981295046098" border="0" /></a>1:30 p.m. Jay Reatard ++<br />Loud, sweaty, and full of energy, barely stopping long enough between songs to yell out the next one before plunging forward.

The giveaways were chaos, so thanks to all of you who were willing to be a part of that chaos. Remember, I'll be doing more next Friday (the 25th) when I get back in town!<br /><br />To top it off, Friday I met a <em>fan</em> of the show. See, we never see our listeners--half of our job is based on faith alone. We hope people are listening. We're noncommercial, so we have no way to quantify you, to figure out your demographics, to even know if anyone at all is tuned in. It's absolutely my favorite thing to meet a listener who really likes the show and makes a point to listen in. It blows me away.<br /><br />And then on top of that, I discovered that the listener who called in and proposed to me some time ago is actually a real, sane, interesting person. So apparently, I should have said yes.<br /><br />Enjoy the music below. I'll try to post a few more times before I leave town on Friday!<br /><br /><br />British Sea Power, "No Lucifer" from Do You Like Rock Music?<br />Liam Finn, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dnxxdyutg4j">"Lead Balloon"</a> from I'll Be Lightning<br />Mates of State, "Get Better" from Re-Arrange Us<br />Islands, "Life in Jail" from Arm's Way<br />Happy Birthday Amy, "This Song Is About Monsters" from Sue<br />Glossary, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?b2aobzeqxan">"Almsgiver"</a> from The Better Angels of Our Nature<br />Portishead, "The Rip" from Third<br />Caitlin Rose, "T-Shirt" from Dead Flowers<br />Santogold, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?cne0xwmdobn">"Unstoppable"</a> from Santogold<br />Black Mountain, "Wucan" from In the Future<br />Spiritualized, "All My Thoughts" from Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space<br /> Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, "Gardenia" from Real Emotional Trash<br /> Gospel Gossip, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jtwqx501lld">"Wind"</a> from Sing Into My Mouth<br /> The Helio Sequence, "Shed Your Love" from Keep Your Eyes Ahead<br /> Bonnie Prince Billy, "For Every Field There's a Mole" from Lie Down in the Light<br /> DeVotchKa, "The Clockwise Witness" from A Mad and Faithful Telling<br />Margot And The Nuclear So And So's, "Skeleton Key"<br />Lucero, "She's Just That Kind of Girl" from Rebels, Rogues, & Sworn Brothers<br />New Buffalo, "Cheer Me Up Thank You" from Somewhere, Anywhere<br />Akudama, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1y1drsb2tbi">"Out Again"</a> from Johnny Appleseed EP<br />Electric President, "Insomnia" from Electric President<br />Sigur Ros, "Inni Mer Syngur Vitleysingur" from Meo suo i eyrum vio spilum endalaustAnniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-63313716090850301112008-07-11T13:09:00.002-05:002008-07-11T13:34:01.923-05:00Unconfirmed Disappointment: Mucklewain 2008So after a slew of phone calls, emails, and drunken shouts that Mucklewain 2008 was going to happen, I'm fairly certain it is not. If you haven't already figured that out from the lack of news, it's been fairly confirmed by some of the folks who helped get it together last year. I'm very, very sad to hear that news, but not surprised. Disappointed as well? Here's what you should do.<div><br /></div><div>Go to http://www.myspace.com/mucklewain and leave a comment or send a message to Joie Todd. If you went last year or the year before, tell him what the festival meant to you. Tell him how far you drove to get there, tell him what acts you liked, tell him about the people you met, tell him what your Mucklewain was like. Most importantly, just tell him thanks. He needs to know how much we appreciate all he's done for the festival, and how glad we are that it happened last year. If you haven't been but want to go, tell him what you've heard about it, tell him why you want it to happen again. Tell him that we'll keep holding out for a Mucklewain 2009, or 2010, or 2020. Tell him you'd be happy to help spread the word, or recommend bands, or get your business/radiostation/friends involved. Let him know!</div><div><br /></div><div>At any rate, I'm so glad I heard about Muckelwain in time to make it to last year's festival. I won't forget about it--don't you either.</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-1691985767456151592008-07-08T14:34:00.003-05:002008-07-10T18:54:24.994-05:00EDIT: Giveaways, Giveaways!<div><br /></div><div>EDIT: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Due to a last minute change in plans, I won't be leaving town this weekend, but I will be gone next weekend. That means: show tomorrow, no show on 7/17. Lots of giveaway edits. Read below.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>The good news: Kate from Say Yes! To Music is going to sub for me <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">(next week I hope)</span>! She just started her first summer DJing and is doing a kickass job of it, so I'm glad to be able to give her some drivetime. Tune in and let her know if you like what you hear!</div><div><br /></div><div>The better news:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">This week as well as the week I get back, July 11th and 25th, </span> will be a blowout of giveaways. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">This week </span>I'll be giving away a slew of tickets to Forecastle Festival (see forecastlefest.com for details), including 2 3-day passes, 2 Sunday VIP passes, and a few other 1-day passes that have not yet been claimed. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Also, I'll be giving away two passes to see Spiritualized at the Mercy on 7/22! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Only July 25, </span>I'll be giving away a pair of tickets to the Apples in Stereo show on 7/29 with Poison Control Center and Big Fresh at the Mercy Lounge. The show's 18+ and kicks off around 9pm. And along with your tickets, you'll get a copy of the Apples' latest album, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Electronic Projects for Musicians</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>So mark your calendar for <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">this Friday and next</span> and make sure to tune in from 4pm-6pm CST on your drive home. Or listen in at WRVU.org if you don't have a radio nearby. Giveaways will start shortly after 4pm and continue throughout the show.</div><div><br /></div><div>Feel free to ask if you've got any questions, and get yourself geared up for all the great music in and around town!</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-60201068840191294592008-07-03T15:46:00.003-05:002008-07-03T16:06:13.953-05:00Minimix: The reason I haven't posted in a week and a half...I'm back from the family beach trip, which was a delightful mess of competitive tubing and aggressive drinking, long days out on a boat and long evenings playing beach games, family sing-alongs and incredible food. It would be unfair to say I'm the oddball of the family, because it's so obvious we've got the same blood--we're loud, boisterous, active, always talking and socializing and enjoying each other. My indie-hipster leanings are somewhat the exception. The cousins gather together with a deck of cards and a cooler of Summer Beer and listen to Rihanna and other top 40 until five AM hits and we've got enough energy left to walk nextdoor and sleep until noon. The whole family gets out the banjo, or the guitar if there's not one around, and sings "Margaritaville" and "Bitin' My Fingernails" and even all seven-and-a-half minutes of "American Pie".<div><br /></div><div>With only about thirty of us at the beach this year, we weren't as big of a group as usual, but with aunts, uncles, grandparents, boyfriends, in-laws, cousins, second cousins, great-grandchildren... we're a crowd.</div><div><br /></div><div>So after that wonderful exhaustion, I came home and immediately packed up the minivan and began the move to my new house!!!!! which I couldn't be more excited about. It's old as hell and covered in ivy and KA fraternity brothers lived in it last year and left us a keg and a bunch of beer and a hole in the ceiling and I love it. My closet is larger than the kitchen of the last place I lived. I'm just completely ecstatic about being there.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, the move has kept me busy (since I've also been working 830-5) and the point of that whole spiel was that I have not posted because I have been out of town and moving.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I won't be able to do my show this week because I'll be in Wisconsin for a wedding, and the week after that I'll be in Chicago for Pitchfork! So, my deepest apologies. This week I've got a kickass sub, Brandon Spencer from Nashville Mixtapes, so check him out and see what you think. I'm not sure about the week after that, but I'll let you know.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the meantime, to make up for it, here's a minimix of songs loosely related to what I've been doing this week. Enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><div>The Dalloways, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?k2qsujxzylj">"A Place to Call Our Home"</a></div><div>Art Brut, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?uesmyzmutme">"Moving to L.A."</a></div><div>The Spinto Band,<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zbjb2ciqtx2"> "Brown Boxes"</a></div><div>Arcade Fire, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1lgxdlxymmz">"Neighborhood #2"</a></div><div>Beach House, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?epwwmtxteyb">"Home Again"</a></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-18982147585387173132008-06-21T11:33:00.003-05:002008-06-21T11:59:03.958-05:00Playlist, 6/20Thanks to everyone who called in this week with requests or to win tickets. Sorry I didn't have more to give away! Check back here in the upcoming weeks for more info about tickets, in-stations, local shows, etc. but in the meantime, don't expect an update until the 1st or so. I'll be heading over to sunny North Carolina this Sunday with my family--which means aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, in-laws, cousins' kids, boyfriends, and on and on--for a week of competitive tubing, competitive drinking, and competitive sunbathing. Then I'll be moving into a new house the day I get back in town, which is sure to take all the fire out of me for a few days. If anyone wants to sell me a dresser, desk, or bed, let me know....<br /><br /><table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"> <tbody><tr><td align="center" height="16"><b>Req</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>New Rel</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>V/A</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>Artist</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>Song</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>Album</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>Label</b></td><td align="center" height="16"><b>Genre</b></td></tr><tr><td><br /></td><td><br /></td><td><br /></td><td align="center">Sol Seppy</td><td align="center">1 2</td><td align="center">The Bells of 1 2 </td><td align="center">Gronland Records</td><td align="center">Other</td></tr> <tr><td><br /></td><td><br /></td><td><br /></td><td align="center">M.

Also, thanks to those of you that called in and didn't hang up on me (read below).

What I can't tolerate is rudeness. A listener who was less than inspired by the Mogwai song I played this week called in, said "Thank God that's over." and hung up on me. The first half didn't piss me off, the second half did. If you don't like what I'm playing, feel free to check out 107.5 or NPR or Jack.FM or put in a CD or a tape or sing to yourself or SOMETHING, but don't be rude to me. Feel free as well to call me and let me know that you didn't like the song. I don't mind. Just give me a chance to explain to you that you not liking the song is never going to stop me from playing it.<div><br /></div><div>We here at WRVU don't play the music we play so that anyone and everyone can appreciate it. We don't care about the least common denominator. We play it because we like it; we hope some of you do. We play it because we believe that not everyone likes the same music. We play it because we want what we love to have an audience--and if two hundred people turn off their radios and two people buy the album, we've been successful. If we believed that our entire audience had to enjoy a song for it to be worth playing, we'd be another commercial Top 40 station. </div><div><br /></div><div>I know you think your music taste is THE BEST. But do you remember how much you loved those ridiculous pop-punk bands when you were thirteen? Or maybe you, like me, went through a ridiculous country music phase at age twelve. Get over yourself. I love it when we like the same music; I love it when you call in and want to know the name of a band, or where to buy an album, or when to catch someone live. But the moment you start thinking that our DJs should be catering to your interests, you're missing the point. We're not here for YOU. We're here for the music.</div><div><br /></div><div>So when you want to call in and tell me (or any of us) that you didn't like a song we played, keep this in mind: it's not your show. When you call in and say you don't like a song and treat us rudely, you don't even make it to the status of music elitist--you come across like an asshole. So for god's sake, at least give me the courtesy of a response.</div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-60140920854695184832008-05-31T20:27:00.008-05:002008-06-16T09:04:10.784-05:00Forecastle Festival Ticket Giveaways<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AJBUCfeMW3bGzW0Wqle8WjdnQwxUtfO7qz9caEl6QUnLcU7cOgPzIgBL4njW8YkmgYKb7fP1QdAbCII4ZLUjk-4m4JQA4efXvCLaSDaoWGljUhvv2WWXvOrJZMlix7ydYdVOOJwr2QM/s1600-h/morethanhalfway_banner6a.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AJBUCfeMW3bGzW0Wqle8WjdnQwxUtfO7qz9caEl6QUnLcU7cOgPzIgBL4njW8YkmgYKb7fP1QdAbCII4ZLUjk-4m4JQA4efXvCLaSDaoWGljUhvv2WWXvOrJZMlix7ydYdVOOJwr2QM/s400/morethanhalfway_banner6a.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206724740902376482" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Thanks to the generous folks up at Forecastle, forty-two of you guys will be joining me (and some other WRVU'ers) up in Louisville this July for a weekend of excellent music of all sorts, from hip-hop to twee, along with fifteen grassroots artists and about fifty activist organizations represented. Along with the big-ish names you probably all recognize, I'm thrilled to see several Nashvillians represented--The Protomen are playing the pre-party, and All We Seabees are playing Saturday morning. The tickets are fairly cheap for a three-day pass, but if you'd like to grab some for free, a bunch of WRVU shows will be giving away all kinds of passes in the upcoming weeks--single day, two-day, three-day, and a few exclusive VIP passes. For the record, I have no idea what it means to be a VIP at Forecastle, but it can't be bad, right?</div><div><br /></div><div>To get a pair of tickets, tune into any of these shows:<br /><br />Mon 6/9 5-7pm Assorted Fruits and Cheeses 2 Friday passes</div><div>Tuesy 6/10 8pm-12am Any Colour You Like 2 Saturday<br />Thurs 6/12 10pm-12am Nashville Mixtapes 2 Saturday<br />Sat 6/14 2-3pm The Funky Four Elements 2 Sunday<br /> <br />Sun 6/15 10pm-11pm Seagulls Over Nashville 2 Friday<br />Fri 6/20 4-6pm Antennas to Heaven 2 Sunday<br /> <br />Sun 6/22 10am-12pm The Mixdown 2 Friday<br />Mon 6/23 7-8pm All Your Summer Songs 2 Saturday<br />Thurs 6/26 10pm-12am Nashville Mixtapes 2 Sunday<br />Sat 6/28 2-3pm The Funky Four Elements 2 Friday<br /> <br />Sun 6/29 6-8pm Positive Spin 2 Saturday<br />Mon 6/30 5-7pm Assorted Fruits and Cheeses 2 Sunday<br />Tues 7/1 10pm-12am Any Colour You Like 2 Friday<br /> <br />Sun 7/6 10am-12pm The Mixdown 2 Saturday<br />Sun 7/6 6-8pm Positive Spin 2 Sunday<br />Mon 7/7 7-8pm All Your Summer Songs 2 Fri-Sat<br />Fri 7/11 4-6pm Antennas to Heaven 2 3-day<br /> <br />Sun 7/13 10-11pm Seagulls Over Nashville 2 Sat-Sun<br />Mon 7/14 5-7pm Assorted Fruits and Cheeses 2 Fri VIP<br />Tues 7/15 10pm-12am Any Colour You Like 2 Sat VIP<br />Fri 7/18 4-6pm Antennas to Heaven 2 Sun VIP<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-51755235412060797702008-05-29T23:18:00.004-05:002008-05-30T09:21:05.340-05:00I am a failure as a music blogger.<div>So my mac is fixed and I am back in dear old Nashville, and I feel like the last two weeks has lasted for about two months. I have no idea who's playing in town next month. I have no idea who released an album while I was gone. My bloglines account is overwhelming. I haven't had a personal computer in two weeks, and I've been useless. <div><br /></div> <div>I'd be lying if I swore this nearly month-long siesta will never happen again. I don't aspire to be I Guess I'm Floating, or You Ain't No Picasso, or, you know... overly consistent. I keep busy. But I'm back for the summer, and at the very least, I'll be supporting the radioshow still. So keep listening! And keep reading. Please?<br /><br /></div> But we have passed the illustrious 1/3 of the way done point for the year, and I'm taking a peak at all the albums that have the potential to stick it out and make that album-of-the-year list come January. Some of these may not have the staying power, and some others that have already been released may come back and surprise me, but in the meantime:<br /><br />Beach House, <span style="font-style: italic;">Devotion</span><span style="font-size:0;"><br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fjx0iotnwwt">"D.A.R.L.I.N.G."</a><br /></span></span><br />Black Mountain, <span style="font-style: italic;">In the Future<br /></span><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xrqpjamdjmt"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span></span></a><span><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xrqpjamdjmt">Black Cat"</a> (from the bonus disc)<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /></span>British Sea Power, <span style="font-style: italic;">Do You Like Rock Music?</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?cju3iboknzb">"Waving Flags"</a><br /><br />Caitlin Rose, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dead Flowers<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Okay yeah, it's an EP, an</span><span style="font-size:100%;">d for that reason alone I guess it HAS to get kn</span><span style="font-size:100%;">ocked off the list, but it's just so damn good.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><br />Destroyer, <span style="font-style: italic;">Trouble in Dreams<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1pmc4cytemd">"Foam Hands"</a></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><br />DeVotchKa, <span style="font-style: italic;">A Mad and Faithful Telling<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ikfrdz3muml">"Transliterator"</a></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><br />Elf Power, <span style="font-style: italic;">In a Cave<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sf3swh13qcz"><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span>The Demon Daughter"</a></span><br /><br />Foals, <span style="font-style: italic;">Antidotes</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?it2yyjl1ime">"Balloons"</a><br /><br />Happy Birthday Amy, <span style="font-style: italic;">Sue!</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xhiy0o7mtow">"Bait"</a><br /><br />The Mountain Goats, <span style="font-style: italic;">Heretic Pride</span><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z7sefxnmjei">"Sax Rohmer #1"</a><br /><br />Portishead, <span style="font-style: italic;">Third</span><br />Okay, I confess: I have not even heard this album yet.

Specifically, when I reboot it, the clock resets to 1961 and no applications (including the one that controls the clock) will open. And now, it seems to be temporarily rendering any charger that touches it unusable. So I can't shut it down... and now I can't charge it. I made it last through exams so that I would last through exams, but now that I'm done (HURRAH) my poor baby is going to have to get some work done. It's that time in its life, but I'm just praying it's not done for. Good news: Done with school, more time for posting, but now I've got no online access to my music, and little computer access. I'm also about to be cruising around the country for two weeks--Myrtle Beach, Charlottesville, and Champaign if you want to say hello--but I've got hardly any computer access in the meantime.<br /><br />I'm just about to fold.<br /><br />So I'm going to go work on wrangling up some cash to pay for a new computer, and sorry for being an utter failure as a blogger lately.Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594109100892566275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129732063034766951.post-52176041109946852882008-04-28T13:43:00.002-05:002008-04-28T17:15:23.897-05:00Alive!But barely.
