Sunset Rubdown - Granada Theater - Dallas, TX

So I am going through the Granada Theater email with headlining groups "Deerhoof, The Mountain Goats and Electric Six" in the header and deciding to scroll down for grins "Holy $#!*,Holy $#!*, Holy $#!*" is spewing from my mouth as I see Sunset Rubdown is coming on September 29th. I just saw Wolf Parade on July 24th and they blew me away despite the high expectations I had entering that concert. Last time I saw Sunset Rubdown I had to drive 3 hours to Austin, TX so this will be a nice visit for me inside of the Metroplex to see the greatest band on the planet.

The Dodos - Interview

Here's a cool interview with the Dodo's that is intertwined with live performance clips:

Daytrotter Sessions - Annuals

The Annuals are one of those indie bands that are well known but seem to be slightly under appreciated (I include myself in this category). I fell upon the Annuals performing for the Daytrotter Sessions and it helps bring back a lost appreciation. Be He Me was one of my favorite albums of 2006 and these takes by the band bring a new breath of life to some of my old favorites. I always felt that "Ida, My" was a beautiful song but that the true emotion of the song was lost in translation in the studio, however it translates much better in this version.

Annuals - "Ida, My"
Annuals - "Dry Clothes"
Annuals - "Bleary Eyed"
