Blitzen Trapper - Hailey's in Denton , TX (November 25, 2008)

I have only recently dwelved into the world of Blitzen Trapper and from my limited time with these guys they sound like they would be an awesome band to see live. Conveniently enough the guys of Blizen Trapper will be making a stop at Hailey's in Denton, Texas, tomorrow night. I have been listening to a heavy dose of Wild Mountain Nation and Furr to gear up for this show. If you live in the DFW area and feel like seeing a good show I think this will definitely qualify as such.

11/25 - Denton, TX Hailey's (Doors open 9 p.m.)

Handsome Furs' New Album Info - Face Control

I have been out of town for a week and I am just catching up with things. It looks like some cool releases are on the horizon including news of a new release from the duo of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry which are better known as Handsome Furs. The new album titled Face Control will be released by Sub Pop on February 3, 2009. Handsome Furs' initial release Plague Park was a sound first offering that held the 6th spot in my Favorite Albums of 2007 list. I am really excited about the release of Face Control as Dan Boeckner has really matured as a song writer with his offerings on Wolf Parade's At Mount Zoomer. Keep an eye out for this album but meanwhile a taste of what to come can be found here.

Fleet Foxes "Sun Giant & White Winter Hymnal" La Blogotheque's - A Take Away Show

This is awesome! I am still angry that I missed these guys in a small and intimate venue in Fort Worth, Texas, but hopefully I will catch Fleet Foxes on their next tour. Thank you to Carlos and Andy for pointing me to this.

Rock-afire Explosion - MGMT's "Electric Feel"

First it was Usher's "In the Club" but now there is more goodness with the Rocka-Fire Explosion performing MGMT's "Electric Feel." The Rock-afire explosion is known to most as the animitronic band that was common place in the 1980's in Showbiz Pizza establishments around the U.S. It is coming upon things like this that makes me love the internet more than I loathe it... but just barely.



But wait, there is more! The guy who is making these videos for YouTube has a documentary that details his obsession with these animitronic robots. Man I love the internet!
