Outside Lands

Besides the earlier confirmed headliners (Radiohead, Jack Johnson, and Tom Petty), they just released news for the rest of their lineup. It's going to be crackin'. I'm excited to see Wilco, Broken Social Scene, Devendra Banhart, Andrew Bird, M. Ward, and the Cool Kids.

Tickets go on sale this Sunday March 30th and come around to $225.50 for the three-day pass.

It's Sunshine-y

The long and grueling Finals Week is finally over.

Spring Break's here, start off fresh with a new quarter of classes, changing seasons... everything, I feel, is going by way too fast. Before you know it my first year of college is over.

Just like for everything in life: take time to enjoy the small things. And you should to, if you happen to be in SoCal, enjoy the weather, today's such a nice day.

Here's a posting from the Dodo's, they've got a new album out and they're from San Francisco (gotta support them local bands from and around home). Too bad I missed them when they stopped by San Jose last month, but they've got a few more stops across the good ol' U S of A.

April 27: Great American Music Hall--San Francisco
May 2: The Natural History Museum--Los Angeles (somebody take me to this one)
June 19: The Independent--San Francisco

The Dodo's: Red and Purple

What I Listen to while Studying for Finals

Something mellow. Something acoustic. Something soothing to the ears.
Sleeping States: "The Next Step"

Some Racing, Some Stopping

Check out the Headlights' new album Some Racing, Some Stopping. A much more refined sound than their previous album. The best song on it is Market Girl.

Throwin' Shapes

New video from Minus the Bear. Made me laugh a bit. Whats not to like, its got air b-ball. The rooftop battle at the end of the video: effing hilarious.

Musical Stylings

Saw this on Stereogum. A guide in how to dress like your favorite band.

I want a bit of Beirut, Vampire Weekend, and Grizzly Bear in my wardrobe. Collectively as an outfit, I wonder how that would sound.

Musical orgasm? Or a mesh of horrid noise?
