I wish Reis did more of a Rocket intro… but then again, they don’t deserve it.

phazerblast:

Kinda sad that this is the best thing Weezer has done in years. Pretty awesome that they are introduced by the LEGENDARY John “Swami” Reis.

This is delightful.

Jonathan and Antonia at the Watermellon Festival by pjsykes.

Jonathan has been one of my favorite Richmond songwriters for almost as long as I’ve lived here, and it’s been exciting to watch his style progress. Glad PJ got this awesome shot.

Ted Leo
“Bottled In Cork”
Live at WFMU, 3/2/2010


I can’t agree more with the awesomeness that is this song. A great night & I can’t wait for next week when I inevitably up my donation to the premium level and an appearance by Robert Patton Oswalt. For the record, anyone know Brian or Zack from Richmond? I thought I had a handle on the FOT in town. Everyone else, let’s do it next week and get Richmond on the map.

perpetua:

I filmed this last night at the Best Show On WFMU marathon show, which raised about $72,000 in three hours. If you haven’t pledged yet, please do so next Tuesday, 8 PM - 11 PM EST — the show pulled in a lot of money, but the station is still far off from their goal, and every bit helps. By the way, I agree with Tom Scharpling — “Bottled In Cork” may be the best Ted Leo song ever.

…make that 3 of us.

Walter Schreifels — Arthur Lee’s Lullaby

Another hit for Walter Schreifels, and a pretty simple video concept… Hopefully his solo and the new Rival Schools album will see the light of day soon.

Broken Social Scene - World Sick

Just what I needed to get into the weekend was this taste at a new BSS record. Can’t wait for my new #summerjam. I just hope the next time they tour it’s more BSS and less like seeing the Wu Tang Clan with all their side projects

NEW BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE!

Epic (as if the band would have it any other way). The new album is out May 4th, which seems so far away now.

RAAAAAAAAANDY MIXTAPE

This is a mixtape I can get behind. I’ll be on the lookout for it to drop.

RAAAAAAAAANDY MIXTAPE UPDATE

Here’s an update on the Raaaaaaaandy mixtape I’m working on with Dave Sitek. We’ve been working hard on it and I’m very excited. We may not meet the originally announced February 2010 release date, but has any great rap album come out when it was originally supposed to?

If you weren’t aware of this project at all, more info is here: http://bit.ly/7lerqT

Well this should ensure that a whole new demographic of people will yell “RAAAAANDY” when they see Aziz.

SNL - Crisis Of Conformity - Fistfight In The Parking Lot

Saw the tail-end of SNL last night and caught three quality sketches, culminating in this gem starring Dave Grohl. Perfect.

EDIT: Was informed/reminded by a friend (who would perform at MY daughters wedding) that Fred Armisen was a member of Chicago post-punk band Trenchmouth in the early 90s, adding to Grohl’s endless street cred.

The Night Marchers - I Wanna Deadbeat You

I agree with Riley, although I still admit that if approached in a darkened alley, I’d sell out both The Night Marchers and Obits for a new Hot Snakes record. On the other hand, I’m not sure I own enough assets to trade in for an RFTC reunion (or to go back to the 2nd to last show).

This week’s musical obsession. The Night Marchers.

The next best thing to a new Hot Snakes record.

Peter Stormare - Tribute to West Coast by Coconut Records

Mind = blown. SPOILER ALERT!!! - I’m pretty relieved that it doesn’t end with Jason Schwartzman in a woodchipper and Stromare eating Lingonberry Pancakes.

atencio:

You need to watch this youtube tribute to Jason Schwartzman’s band Coconut Records made by delightfully bizarre character actor Peter Stormare (Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Armageddon). I’m serious, you need to watch it. (via tothemaxxx / Them Elks)
