Since our fearless leader went to the great record store in the sky.... the BBC airwaves haven't had a ton to offer.... but I must admit a real soft spot for Mary Ann Hobbs - she turned me onto Dustep along with some other fucked up electronics. She has alos played a lot of great new music from the Bay and for that I respect her... Here's a wee thing on her recent trip to the States... I missed her play of course, but I'm sure it was banging....

It's really nice outside, which always make me want to get high in the park with a group of friends, perhaps also enjoy some cold beverages. Kick a soccer ball around. This video reminds me of that. I'm late to Camera Obscura, but better late then never. I love this song. I think Husker Du would've done a really amazing version of this song. I don't know why.

I just got the latest batch of 7"s from the Art Of The Underground
singles series. They do 1 a month, limited to 350 copies. What I like about the label is that you never really know what you are going to get.... sure there a common ground in Punk Rock but it's a pretty diverse mix from acoustic almost to hardcore... sounds like a mish-mash, but it really works... there's been a couple of duds, but I've also been turned onto some awesome bands. The latest is Cheap Girls who have this scratchy Pavement indie rock vibe. Totally dig the record and was pleased to discover they are a bunch of speccy nerds....awesome - here's them rocking some aucoustic shit...

Lights Out....

It always surprises me to find out who reads this blog..... I was in my local bike shop today talking to the fella Connor behind the counter...and he told me how much he was enjoying the blog... always nice to hear, as is the fact that Connor is backing rocking in a band after the demise of local legends Lights Out. Good to hear, 'cos Lights Out ruled... here's a clip of their last show....

Stockholm Syndrome

I was thinking about old friends today while stuck at work.... so busy that you realize you haven't had time to see the people important to you. Here's a clip of an old band I was in a few years back with a bunch of good friends who I don't see enough of. This is us jumping onto the bill of What Happens Next?s last show at Gilman Street.... we played a 5 minute set... here's half of it. This one is for Spence, Mike and Max...beentoo long fellas.
