Muse – "The United States of Eurasia"
31, Jul 2009
I’ve had a long-standing love affair with Muse. When I heard their single, “Muscle Museum”, from Showbiz ten years ago I was hooked. For some reason that song just hit me, the way Matthew Bellamy’s vocals merged with the tone of the guitar gave me chills. I’ve veered away at times, but I always come back to this band as a [...]
A Little Bit Out There: DD/MM/YYYY
31, Jul 2009
It’s nearly impossible to classify DD/MM/YYYY. Not only is there band name completely ridiculous, but depending on what track you’re listening to you might be hearing something near Battles at one moment and the Foals the next. I guess I’ll go with unique, and I’ll classify it as a good unique since its got my head bobbing today. DD/MM/YYYY [...]
MP3: Deer Tick – "Smith Hill"
30, Jul 2009
If you haven’t pick up Born on Flag Day, the sophomore album from Deer Tick, it’s hight time you checked out their brand of badass grunge-country. John McCauley was nice enough to answer a few questions for me back in June following their show at the Pageant, where they opened for Jenny Lewis. He’s got one hell of a howl [...]
Take Away Show Day
29, Jul 2009
I will be out of commission on the blogging front for at least today due to the fact that a burglar/burglars decided to rip through my back door yesterday, ransack my house, and take all my stuff (including my computer). I think I will chalk this one up to the piss poor economy and not the fact that [...]

The last I heard there were still a few tickets available, but you might want to get there early to make sure [...]

Weezer: What the Hell?
27, Jul 2009
Weezer what the hell happened to you? I loved you as much as the next geek (obsessed would be more accurate), I mean who doesn’t love the Blue Album and Pinkerton? But I can only look the other way for so long.
I mean the new transparency in your band seemed all well and good at first. You [...]

Standouts from this week’s “Live on the Telly” include Passion Pit, Regina Spektor, and a slew of great repeats from Carson Daly’s Last Call (I’m not sure when he actually has new shows, but he books great bands so I’ll stop whining). Here’s the late night musical lineup, make sure you stay up late on Wednesday [...]
