Sonic Youth – Unmade Bed

I need to rant a little on why I love this song so much. Beware, this post is less about the song, and more about the events that I think of when I hear it.

Kevin Drew – Spirit If… Leaked!!!

Well, this week was sucking pretty bad, but this just might be the pick me up I need. Four songs in and I’m loving it. Expect a full review by the end of the week.

Record Review: Wilco – Sky Blue Sky

So this review is a little late. But I just stared this blog and this has been one of my favorite releases this year. Expect to see many more reviews of albums already released this year.

2007 Concerts in Review

Last year was a great year for me musically. I saw Wilco, Sonic Youth, Cat Power (twice), Tom Waits, and Broken Social Scene (twice). This year hasn’t been quite as good, but were are only halfway through. So here it goes:

Lou Barlow, I think I love you…

So I saw Dinosaur Jr for the first time earlier this month. I just happened to be in New York on vacation, so I caught night 2 at Irving Plaza. Needless to say it was a great show. I was right up front at first, but about a third of the way through the show I moved to the back. I just wasn’t in the mood to get the crap beat out of me. They played material from all four albums featuring the original three members, plus Feel The Pain. Also, Just Like Heaven was a very nice surprise.

Anyway, Lou really impressed me. He seemed to be giving 110%. So I decided to check out some Sebadoh once I got home. So far I’ve got III and Bakesale. While III has some good moments, its all over the place. Although I haven’t spent that much time with it. I found Bakesale much more consistent. The first 8 or 9 tracks are phenomenal. I will admit they all are a little repetitive though.

Hopefully Lou will make his way down south sometime soon.
