there are some things about the 80s that were so much cooler than the last decade

like creepy music videos for pop songs popular throughout the midwest

80s version

Genesis - Land of Confusion from mus1cvide0s on Vimeo.

00s verions

target: john oliver's new york stand up show

watching maria bamford's stand up act is like watching cybil sheppard in a car crash

except the more i think about it, she doesn't really look like cybill shepherd.

two an albatross shows this weekend, first of 2010

Saturday January 30th
@ Jerky's Music Hall in Providence, RI
An Albatross/Brrrmuda/California Smile


Sunday January 31st
@ Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY
An Albatross/Rice/Wharton Tiers Ensemble/Weasel Walter & Marc Edwards Group

the rotating line up of Daughters, keeps rotating...

according to a new article on the website, Noisecreep, which I have never heard of before, the current guitarist and bassist of Daughters have parted ways from Lex & Jon. some how this comes as no surprise, especially to a label who was at one time scheduled to release a Daughters / Chinese Stars 12", which turned into a solo Chinese Stars 12".

just as a disclaimer, and not this is just further rumor spreading:
i have not heard anything of, from, about the band except for this article.

PIC OF THE DAY

movie executives, fuckin cherry pickin it

the problem with movies like Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel casually making over 200 million dollars at the box office is that movies like a live action Yogi Bear 3D movie starring Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake as Yogi and Boo-Boo gets casually green lit

the new issue of W magazine arrived today

Dear Rihanna,
while under cleavage of some sick breasts in GQ is timeless

you need to realize that 2009 is over

the new album is unbearable

and anyone who has Slash guest star on their album is clinging to the past

i hope those tattoos in the W spread are temporary

tell Jay-Z i say HOLLA! but THE grizzly bear is still wack

keep those appearance fees low or else you know he will just hire Beyonce at a discount

xxxo

troubleman!!!!!!!!

so i just got stuck behind troubleman unlimited // italians do it better's own Mike Simonetti in line at the post office 2 blocks from my house.

its cool that he was shipping more records than me, because he has to feed his kid... and me, if i had that kinda money, i would probably just buy more records.

also he has the same booking agent for dj performances as Dj Jazzy Jeff, I can't compete with that!

The An Albatross live record is now available on Insound, which is cool especially, since according to their crack sciencitific marketing team, people who purchased it, also picked up Alicia Keys and Grizzly Bear LPs.
