according to the twitter feed

Fang Island, Bear In Heaven, Oberhofer, Frankie Rose, Eternal Summers, Perfume Genius, Tanlines, Best Coast, Porcelain Raft, Shark?, Tennis <---------glad you all finished up in the studio, and super duper cant wait for the releases to come out. Myriad reasons to be excited for springtime!

In other news....

Didya see that The Clean are playing Chaos in Tejas? I would honestly flip my lid to hear "Two fat Sisters" or "Oddity" live..or "Secret Place." all of it.. now hows about that tour...convince them Merge!

Didya see the Austin Psych Fest lineup? i was sold on Black Keys and Olivia Tremor Control.

BTW, anyone else prefer the black lips to the black keys? its a no brainer to me, the lips win.

hows about SXSW? thinking of road tripping down. But damn, lookin at these other lineups, it almsot seems better to wait. or not..In fact, i think i'm alomost more excited about the prospect of jumping into a car and just riding (its been a while).. riding down to the south. warmth. rolled down windows and loud music. girl time. cheesy shit like that. i'm into it.

my bro and sister in law came to town this weekend. It was pretty fucking amazing all around. It was def awesome to see Brooklyn with their borrowed sets of eyes. We caught Dive at 285 Kent, and made it to Rocio's two times before calling it quits on breakfast food. First official Broadway show was Memphis. Loved the shit out of it and made me want to rethink my choices and reformulate my dreams of operating a venue to professional dancer. I think i missed the boat on a certain one of those..i guess that's where the jazzer comes in. and sometimes an empty living room after a good run is the perfect time to dance.

in even more other news..i just read that DFA tweet about LCD Soundsystem trying to get on SNL for 6 years while Lana Del Ray was rushed into the spotlight. makes ya wonder yeah?

another fun twitter tidbit.. One of the so so glos got arrested last nite for subway turnstile jumping, as documented quite humorously on the feed. Apparently only 1 so so glo has never been arrested. haha, amazing..i jog by their home/venue Shea Stadium pretty frequently and they seem to be having fun doing art and shit on their balcony, practicing whenever, not bothering anyone. way to put a bad one behind the bars nypd.

alright, speaking of running... ciao for now. xo

wedding and wastings...

Via the fabulous K-Spot, i realize now that Beach Fossils, Real Estate, and CLoud Nothings have albums coming out in two weeks. Super stoked. Plus even more stoked that i had some HQ time with HQ tonite..really excited about the class actress as well..on the DL tip (shhhh! don't say a word! DL meaning not just one the downlow, but on the download haha) ANyhow, this weekend was Matador Bday festaganza in vegas. DAMN i wish i woulda gone! but alas, my threshold for spontaneous endeavors is waay low..so are funds. PLUS i must/can wait for the fest circuit to inundate our fair town with outta town lovers of a scene they may or may not idolize/fantasize/put on some fake ass pedestal, blah blah.. i live here, what do you expect ?!?! so its ACL week this week and FFF fest on the horizon. I have a friday tix to ACL and i do believe its the best day, lineup wise. so very excited for what I think the real show will be... thursday at the Mohawk. Spoon. yes, in a venue that isn't madison square garden, stubb's, or anywhere close to that. A Spoon show for the homies. the friends. the fans, the family. i promised Britt a steady flow of Tecate all nite long. ironically its usually him handing me one..haha. DAMN, if i'm not crazy excited about the intimacy of this show. and that i get to share it with K-Spot. so i'll put in my early nites and early mornings this week.. Task and reward. FTW, for the weekend, for the win! In other news, i saw two friends get married tonite, and everyone was required via invite to wear their favorite band/concert tshirt. i went with white rabbits, after searching for ages for my old Jesus and Mary Chain, washed to almost bra necessary thinness. either way..plain and simple..a beautiful ceremony that i was privileged to be invited to. took a sidestep down to danceville and was pleasantly surprised by Best Coast, Miike Snow, and Teengirl Fantasy, (CEO and Edward Sharpe are just long lost dreams i now see). either way, dancing is therapy and it was had tonite.(Thanks Krissie!) cuz weddings...well, i would not even wish a blog about weddings upon any of you reading. so let's just say,for what its worth, weddings done right don't have to make you cry..they can make you smile..esp when the first dance is to pat benetar. xo
