Please excuse our appearance, the server we use to host our images is down so we get this ridiculous monkey on the right. If it happens again we'll just change it completely. Until then we look even less professional than normal. Nice.

Until then enjoy these live shows.

Stevie Condis Ratio is deflecing it's new Alvin 'Reserved to Book a Fountain' this Spring

Ever since I was lucky enough to get a Import copy of TV on the Radio's newest album, I haven't been able to put it down. Honestly I've never heard someone with a sound like theirs. Its interesting, and that makes me wanting for more. 'Return to Cookie Mountain' hasn't even been released domestically and is already topping people's list as a Best Of 2006. You need to get this album now! Or September 12th when its proper release hits via Interscope.

Yours To Keep

The other day I linked to a few articles with the details for Albert Hammond Jr's [from The Strokes] solo album, Yours To Keep. If you missed it read about it here and here.

If you were as interested in the project as I was, then this will tickle your fancy.

You're Welcome.
Yours To Keep will be released in the UK on October 9th on Rough Trade Records. As of now there are no plans for a US release since he has no record/distribution deal here. I'm sure you'll be able to order it online, and when I hear of those details I will relay them to you. As Always.

Lollapalooza Webcast

Lollapalooza is this weekend [Aug 4-6] in Chicago's Grant Park. If hanging out in 90-100 degree weather, drinking $8.00 beers, and taking in the Chicago skyline with Perry Ferrell isn't your type of thing, don't fret. You can still watch Lollapalooza 2006 from the comfort of your home.

Dance, Dance Revolution

I've always liked Ok Go, despite their ridiculous clothing and sometimes overly poppy songs. I guess when you sign on to a major label, you gotta do what you gotta do. When we saw them play live a few years back [opening for Kings of Leon?] they really rocked out, and that's what I like. Bands who can play live.

I have to admit, the clothes that these guys wear are ridiculous. But, judging by the videos that they make you can tell they have a sense of humor.

Unless they are serious with both the clothes and the videos, and then in that case I don't know what to tell you. But until then, you can have a few laughs to some Kevin Federline choreographed power pop.

OK Go.-A Million Ways to Be Cruel




OK Go.-Here It Goes Again




[UPDATE:] OK Go is actually running a contest on YouTube that calls for fans to make their own dance video. Apparently this is much bigger that I thought. Its an Dance Epidemic!
