i think i had a dream about this once too.

INDIO, CA, April 27, 8:30pm — Coachella has long operated like a music festival is supposed to: the rock stars perform on stage and the Hollywood celebrities watch from a restricted VIP area (equipped with a bar and a shaded lounge ). But that isn’t always the case. As rumored, Scarlett Johansson joined a reunited Jesus and Mary Chain for a performance of “Just Like Honey,” which played as the credits rolled during Ms. Johansson’s film “Lost in Translation.”

thurston is such a j mascis whore

I was recently alerted to the following amazing website.
Warning: If you're a font obsessive like myself, you'll get stuck downloading all day long.
How useful this would have been for Liner Notes...

serious delirium



the wu know no season...

springtime might be wu-tang time as well.
eons and at least 37 light years ahead of anyone else in the game, the wu-gambinos have 215 (!) mostly unreleased/rare wu-bangas up on their website. this might be worth skipping finals for. so far i like "i can't go to sleep" live and "the sun".
is this reason to hold out hope for 8 diagrams?

coincidentally, spring time is also new school time.

That's it for me, folks. The year's final newsletter. (tears)

springtime is old school time

cyrus's favorite

that was a cute story they told before they [heeding my suggestion] played this one. did you notice that when alan mentioned buring off his child's fingerprints, mimi shot him a death stare? all i can say is that i better get to see the footage shot by the dude obstructing our view.

I love Colin Meloy. I love the Pogues. I love Colin Meloy talking about the Pogues.

inspired by our blog's recent love of all things wareham and new order, as well as those incessant ads for marie antoinette's dvd release, i did a little searching and lo, this gem...



peep dean's spacemen 3 shirt too

a reminder to check out staff apps for next year

this has been the big album of the spring for me. it's a sweet compilation of stuff from the uk’s c86 movement (rough trade put out a similar comp a couple years back i understand might be even better), and it makes a pretty persuasive case that “jangle” is the best adjective in the english language. there’s a ton of amazing songs, but i think my favorite is this delightful bit of snobbery that’s so good it could mention itself:

the pooh sticks--on tape

The semester's penultimate newsletter (presumably)!
Out tomorrow.

remember this?



i found an mp3, and as aaron mentioned before, it's infinitely better than the album version

mp3: new order : perfect kiss

also, more keif

Everybody tells me that Keith is hot
Keith needs something what he ain't got
And Keith's gonna die

we get a lot of new indie rock at wmcn. while it's hard to get excited about new things in our 24/7 hype machine world, at least once a semester an unassuming new release arrives that makes me think, "hey, this is kinda good." back in 2003 it was arcade fire's funeral, and this year brings fellow montrealers the besnard lakes aptly titled are the dark horse.

meta-critic confirms my suspicions

mp3: the besnard lakes : disaster

i love al and mimi so much

banter about bands, children, public tv, and more songs about death, hooray!

also, mary lucia is annoying

*update* agreed



*more update*

also on the internets today, the special 7" included with drums and guns preorders

mp3: low : hatchet (Optimimi Version)

RIP Bob Mould
