  1)  SWEDES

  Swedes were a Lancaster, PA based punk band that played an interesting style of screamo using clean guitars and pop-esque song structures.

  Lord of the Flies, Toothpaste taxidermy

  08.30.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  This morning I finished reading Lord of the Flies.  What an incredibly well written book.  I was never forced to read it in high school but I’m glad I took the time to pick it up.  I’m sure most of you know the plot so I won’t bother reiterating here, I just thought it was [...]

  I haven’t been in the mood to do much of anything lately besides sit in my room and read.  So here’s a half-heartedly compiled list of 3 things that caught my attention.
  1)  Rio de Janeiro pictures from The Big Picture.
  2) 

  “Powerhouse: like Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous, but starring ugly Washington douchenozzles.

  …Who Calls So Loud, The Blue Letter, ROTA’s last show

  08.27.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  It’s about 2am.  I just got back from seeing …Who Calls So Loud at the Barclay house in Baltimore.  They honestly didn’t blow me away like I was expecting.  They were good, better than most bands, but kind of sloppy.  I was expecting so much more because literally every show we played on tour someone [...]

  A few things: Antilles, The Billy Letters, Byroglyphics

  08.25.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Alright, I’ve got a few things I want to share.
  1) Antilles:

  Please press play and listen to this entire song.  43 seconds in is when it really gets good.  The background vocals RULE.  I wish more bands wrote intricate music like this.  We were fortunate enough to play with Antilles this summer in Ohio.  They completely [...]

  This blows my mind.  A couple in Georgia getting married at a Waffle House they both work at.  Possibly the most redneck event ever to take place.

  The Summer We Went West – Following the Holy Moon Goddess

  08.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  The Summer We Went West, a group out of College Park, MD, released 3 cd’s of aggressive indie rock and lo-fi folk before disbanding in 2007.  The vocals are sometimes yelled, often spoken, and always a bit out of tune.  The other instruments sloppily mesh together in a good way – an At the Drive [...]

  Ryan McGinley interview, Adam Arcuragi

  08.22.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  1)  Since I’ve never really been interested in photography up until recently, I’m new to Ryan McGinley’s work.  His photos remind me of 20 careless summers spent with friends all packed into a set of photographs.

  He just did an interview with SEESAW MAGAZINE that you can check out HERE.
  2) This is a video of Adam [...]

  Sharks Keep Moving were a short lived, late 90’s, Seattle indie rock band that released 1 full length and a handful of 7 inches.  You may recognize the familiar voice of Jake Snider of Minus the Bear fame.  He played guitar and sang for Sharks Keep Moving.  This self titled release is perfect mellow indie [...]

  /End Tour, The Caution Children – Vacations

  08.19.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  1)  The Caution Children rule.

  The Caution Children just released a new full length entitled “Vacations” on Tokyo Jupiter Records.
  There’s something special about the way this band writes their music.  Ian (guitar) and John (bass) both live in Florida, Nick (vocals) usually lives in Berkley, CA with his girlfriend, and Eddie (drums) lives in Athens, GA.  [...]
