i dont think there is a band/artist that i listen to with any consistency that i hate/love/hate more than fugazi. actually i dont listen to em that often, and maybe just for that very reason. im sure im not alone in this kind of emotional flip-flopping in regards to said band. im hoping one day im gonna pop in repeater and just get “it.” sadly, im almost 15 years into this wishing and hoping, im still holding out cause i want it to happen. as the title suggests here is their first demo. buy their stuff via dischord.

not the kind of news i like waking up to on a sunday morning, or any morning for that matter, but rolling stone and various other outlets are reporting that mark linkous the man behind sparklehorse has killed himself. rip, mark, see ya on the other side……

sick of goodbye’s off the brilliant good morning spider

its not so much a video but just pics of the lovely lass, but it gets the job done. if you havent heard joanna’s new record, have one on me, i cannot recommend checking it out enough. if you had been turned off in the past by her lisa simpson like vocals, i can honestly report that said vocal likeness is not as present this time around. its a 3 record set, which of course is pretty ballsy, but for the most part she succeeds in pulling it off. this is definitely my favorite song of the year, thus far. pick it up via drag city.

Liv Tyler by Roadside Graves from Travis Huggett on Vimeo.

now, i could have just edited that post down there to include the video, but me thinks this warrants its own post. to clarify the post below, the re-release will be digital only, but the ep is being released both digitally and in physical form. check autumtone for the details….

roadside graves got a couple of things in the release pipe, one being a re-issue of their debut, if shacking up is all you want to do and secondly a six song ep entitled you wont be happy with me. both are digital only releases me thinks, gonna have to get clarification on that lil nugget. btw, the re-release of their 02 of if shacking up… comes with 6 bonus tracks. from what i hear you can win 1 of ten copies of the ep over at you aint no picasso so you may want to check that out….

that up there is a tift merritt cover in case you didnt know. its off tift’s most excellent record, bramble rose. jill’s original “these hands” is up for an award, details here, but you can vote for said song by clicking here. sadly the voting process isnt just a click here and be done with it, but lets be honest you got at a few minutes to spare to devote to her cause right? if you havent checked out her lovely ep, you need to….

what up peoples? i dont know about you all, but im really sick of social networking. i cant really explain it none to well, but in layman’s terms its all bullshit and frivilous. it means nothing in the scheme of things unless you are trying to push your social media guruness or of course a product. sure its fun, and i should just see it as such, but my tolerance level for other people is really waning. im probably just overly cranky? or maybe im not, or maybe im just not cut out for the kids and their type of internets? anyway, here is neutral milk hotel playing somewhere in nola on 4.3.98.
