  1. lots of 4/20 parties on saturday: kyle shutt, the sword guitarist, at independence brewing. the sound was terrible but it was a decent set. he's got a solo album coming out in a couple weeks, based on the set there should be some good songs on there. wurve record release at getaway motor club. they've got a good psych/pop sound, have always liked their live show. picked up a record but haven't had a chance to listen yet. curious to see how the record sounds, especially the vocals which seem to always be buried in a live setting. tia carrera record release at lost well. still rocking the power trio stoner jams. haven't listened to the new record yet but i know exactly what it sounds like. lost well was the perfect venue for them.
  2. Octopus Project did some trippy shit in a warehouse on East 5th last night. Ambient light and sound show. There were no drums, all 4 of them were playing keyboard/synth plus a saxophone and theremin. The stage was in the center with 360 degree sound surrounding the crowd. They played for an hour and it was all super chill and spacey. Really cool.
  3. pink mexico at hotel vegas. there were about 20 people there, during a storm on a wednesday night at 11pm is not the ideal set time. they were very good...modern grunge is the best description i have. very angry and guitar heavy.
  4. yeah, super 8 is bad. sirens and here we rest are my 2 favorites.

    Childhood's End
  6. There were people lined up at Waterloo last night at 11pm. Good grief.
  7. one of the first i can remember going to without my parents was a free sammy hagar show at starplex in 1999. 97.1 the eagle gave away tickets for weeks in advance. we were all the way in the back of the lawn by the wall and there were so many trashy people it was amazing. i don't remember any of the concert but i vividly remember the 3 fights that happened directly in front of us.
  8. never go out the rear exit of side bar. i've never seen so much human feces on the ground as i did in that alley during sxsw this year.
  9. i remember standing in line at backspin records 10 years ago for record store day, then getting inside and it was like walmart on black friday. can't imagine how much worse it's gotten since then. never again will i get up early on a saturday for that shit.
  10. Shakey is a fantastic read for any neil young fan. he's one of my top 3 all time.
  11. it's a countdown, that's the number of days until the next album is released.

    Best songs of the 90's

  13. in my experience it's more like 50 records per foot comfortably. any more than that and they're really crammed in there.
  14. y'all should listen to this if you haven't
  15. spiritualized at emo's. first off the seat situation at emo's is complete horseshit...the entire front half of the venue is folding chairs, and standing room GA is located behind the soundboard in the back half of the venue. that is very un-emo's and fuck them if that's what they're going to be doing going forward. spiritualized was great. thought the first few songs of the set were actually the best songs of the night, they played 5-6 of their old songs then played the entire new album front to back. would have preferred if they mixed in a few more of the old songs but i'll take what i can get. was hoping for maybe some horns or a string section but it was just the standard band with 3 backup singers. regardless they sounded great and i'm glad i got to see them 1 more time.
  16. cd's will be cool again one day, it just hasn't been long enough. hell, cassette tapes are popular right now.
  17. i'm all about countdown to ecstacy and aja, all their albums are good though. have seen them 3 times, phenomenal live band.
  18. you can order food from the beer line at php
  19. they seem to be one of those bands that only comes through during sxsw, or occasionally opening for someone else. i dig them as well but didn't catch them this year.
  20. Daikaiju
  21. frankie and the witch fingers, psychedelic porn crumpets were the 2 highlights for me this year. gymshorts was the best band we accidentally stumbled upon. daikaiju was a hell of a way to close it out last night. wed- wurve, totals, mean jolene thur- kokoko!, ten high, rattlesnake milk, gymshorts, acid carousel fri- meernaa, gymshorts, frankie and the witch fingers, iguana death cult, dead meadow, black mercy, psychedelic porn crumpets, billy king and the bad bad bad sat- faux ferocious, pychedelic porn crumpets, mystery lights, viagra boys, black angels, rookie, datenight, ten high sun- greenbeard, dead meadow, mystery lights, daikaiju

    2019 New Music Thread

    these guys are in town for sxsw and i like their new album quite a bit. has a king gizzard vibe for sure.
  23. southern harmony is my favorite crowes album but wiser time is my favorite song. it always floored me live. that drum beat constantly pushing the song along, the piano, the slide guitar...and then it all comes to a perfect head. great fucking song.
  24. god damn it.
