playing that now.

odawas - raven and the white night

beaver tails? ouch. well, i do like the besnard lakes, malajube, sloan, the arrogant worms, paperboys, be good tanyas, oh and plenty more that i don't have time for now... i love you, canada.

damn guster fucking rules.

the only music i listened to as a young kid was whatever my mom and dad listened to... my dad - mainly willie nelson, johnny cash & hank williams. the only thing i remember my mom listening to much (she likes talk radio) was gordon lightfoot. so, i'm pretty sure that the first tape i bought for myself was cyndi lauper - she's so unusual. i was probably in 5th or 6th grade. on the first concert, my dad took us to some when we were young. i distinctly remember willie nelson and ronnie milsap, not sure if there were more. but the first concert i remember attending without a parent was

just caught it on youtube. that was incredible. only 2 weeks 'til the show... thanks for the upload, cryptique.

the long winters were SO much fun in concert. not only were they tight, but very funny crowd banter and great stage presence. i hope they get out to the uk soon for you guys. though they said they're near the end of their tour and are heading back to seattle to work on a new album...

ok, that's awesome, quit complaining. i'll be missing the books and cornelius in a couple weeks due to a cancun vacation. feel sorry for me. i've seen apples in stereo and the thermals lately... they'll be great. seeing xiu xiu and decemberists soon. i'm very jealous about okkervil river and jens lekman (if he accepts).

i'm sorry. but, it was seriously the most amazing triple bill i've ever seen, and will probably ever see for quite some time.

^^i love that apples album. for me, was: now: both bands (plus stars of track and field) were great tonight!!

just got back from the long winters/the broken west/stars of track and field show. not that i'm complaining... just hoping i catch plasticities ( ) on youtube before it's pulled. and at least i get to see andrew (and apostle of hustle!) on the 25th.

yeah, i'm gonna have to try to catch it on youtube... gonna be seeing the broken west & the long winters tonight...

any number of minus the bear songs: thanks for the killer game of crisco twister damn bugs whacked him, johnny booyah achieved i'm totally not down with rob's alien hey, wanna throw up? get me naked lemurs, man. lemurs pantsuit... uggghhh and so on and so forth...

exactly. and i really really like the new album. plus, i'm wide awake it's morning is brilliant. imo, of course...

it seems that they have it in for dr. dog in general. the older record reviews are pretty scathing too.

seeing them with stars of track & field and the long winters tomorrow! will be nice after tonight's man man debacle...

i have 6. if you want one, be certain you haven't been kicked off oink before then pm me your e-mail address.

Chin Up Chin Up is playing in Denver in a couple of weeks, on the same night as What Made Milwaukee Famous/Aqueduct. I really like Chin Up Chin Up, but I'm seeing them open for Minus the Bear like a month later. Has anyone seen any of these bands live? Any insights? Thanks...

wow, this is really really nice. thanks for the recommendation rich, had never heard of these guys before!

you're so predictable...

just got back from seeing them... damn those guys put on a fucking great show.
