Wayne Coyne Makes My Day

I was starting to get worried that I didnt get excited about music festivals anymore, and then this happened... 

The Flaming Lips To Close Out P4K Fest

Taken at Lolla 2006.  By far my favorite live show ever. 

Stumbling Along...

So, I've got this list I keep of songs I've heard that I like that I would potentially download, or to check out the artist.  A lot of the time, this list grows without me going back to really look at it for a long time.  But today, I heard the Phoenix song "Long Distance Call" and it sounded very familiar.  I consulted my list, and there it was, 7 songs back.  I've heard a lot of buzz about this band lately, but somehow, if I dont stumble on a band on my own, I tend to ignore the hype.  

Phoenix, consider yourself stumbled upon.  

Coming to Chicago?  No US dates on the tour schedule. Maybe a p4k or lolla stop???

Get Me... (and Tom)

Yeah thats me at the bottom... I'm a fan :)

Jim DeRogatis: 

SXSW 2009: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wed.: Annoying things bands do, the artist as entrepreneur, Tom Schraeder & more

OFFICE Is Back!

Despite what Scott Masson said in my interview with him about being over the 'scene', he's added a few dates for the band on their myspace page.  More details in my write-up for Gapers Block today.  

In other news, I'll be at the Cut Copy/Matt & Kim show at The Vic tonight!  Should be a great show!

New Andrew Bird Video: "Fitz and the Dizzy Spells"

I was there for the awesome secret show when they filmed part of this video at The Hideout.  And don't think I wasn't looking for myself on my first run-through...
