One of my favorite bands disbanded this year (pretty girls make graves). The individual members are busy as ever.

Jay Clark is drumming, playing bass, keyboards AND recording for a band called Jaguar Love.

It also features Johnny Whitney (vocals) and Cody Votolato, which makes this another sideproject of The Blood Brothers.

Check out the tracks Highways of gold and Welcome to the Birdskull Palace.

Myspace

This poppy two piece is playing as the support act for Minus The Bear on November 20 in Waterfront, Rotterdam.

My favorite song by them is Our Smallest Adventures. Also check out Pink Squares.

If you're attending but don't know 'em yet, check it out.

with the following track:

Positive Tension (Go! Team Remix)

Bloc Party meets The Go! Team
Reason why it was left out from the remix album final cut is a mystery to me!

I had a really crappy day and this song made me feel better.

The Xylophone versus the guitar parts… and then that typical bassline.
The guitar part which starts on 1:32… really.. this is music that touches my soul or something. I can't tell exactly why.. but it does. It comes awfully close to what music is supposed to sound like according to me.

Okay so maybe I'm…

A record collection reduced to a mix tape, headphones on, I made my escape

Well, I finally decided to make a list of the albums that provided my personal soundtrack for 2006. Not in any particular order (I'm too indecisive for that) though there is a number 1, obviously. I'm not sure what I'll think about this list 6 months from now, but I don't give a crap.

Silent Shout
"One word: Brilliant. I simply can't describe it (but here I'm trying anyway). From the simple yet amazing bassline of Silent Shout to the brilliant beats of We Share…

Anyone here on Last.fm who can give me addresses of obscure music stores in London? Especially if they have vinyl. Interested in indie, punk, post-hardcore, and basically anything else.

Oh, and anyone who can fill me in on any good gigs in the London area from December 15 - 17?

As you might have guessed, I booked myself a trip to London! :)

Yay another journal entry no one reads! (Well it doesn't matter anyway since I only do this cause I'm bored and I could care less!)

Anyway, I heard some rumors about The Crash! Boom! Bangs! finally doing some rehearsal sessions next weekend! Could be fun! I really love that band, you should check them out when you have the chance! *hehe*

Last Tuesday I went to see The Pipettes at Rotown and they were fucking great (I never expected I would like it), they were all very kind as well. I got kinda drunk afterwards and I've got pictures to…

Admit It!!!

ADMIT IT! Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance and vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs, you know nothing ABOUT art or sex that you couldn't read in any trendy new york underground fashion magazine…Proto-typical non-conformist. You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store gastapo. You adhere to a set of standards and tastes that appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges-BULLSHIT-giving your thumbs up and thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art. Go analog baby, you're so post-modern. You're diving face forward into an antiquated past, it's disgusting! It's offensive!…
