Hi friends,
It’s been a while. A really, really long while. Being a senior in college, getting engaged, moving into a pimp new house, it all catches up with you. Too, I haven’t had much to post about. I like getting emails about bands that are good, but 70 percent of the emails I get are about bands that really, really blow. It gets old, super quick. I could care less that Axl Rose released a new album…because I really dislike Guns’n'Roses. Joe Satriani suing Coldplay? Hmm….don’t care. New, awesome music? Hell to the yes. I quote that from the hellyeah girl of last years Langerado. Speaking of which….

Do I need to tell you how stoked I am? This year its in Bicentennial Park, Miami, so a hotel is required. But somehow that appeals to me, something about showers and a mattress really turns me on. Early bird tickets are 120 bucks. Way cheaper than the Roo. Totally going. Or, I’ll try to. So, DCC? Snoop? TC? Broken motherfucking Social Scene? Cold War Kids and Tricky? Sold!



bad news first, this time:
ngue-Clucking Grammarian” both have a dancefloor groove designed to get you hopping (”Wallflowers” even gives you instructions on how to dance the “Margaret Thatcher”). “Shame of Otaku” features a very chilled beat, like AM radio lounge meets G-Funk, and a Japanese hook. “Canadia” makes a fat beat out of “Oh Canada” and features Jesse Dangerously and Wordburglar rebutting Front’s accusation that Canadia is unpatriotic. At this point I will stop going song by song and encourage you to do it yourself.
