Specifically, the Gerry Loves split 73 launch on Thursday and the Tinderbox Orchestra stuff at the Queen's Hall on the weekend look bloody amazing. I'll still be charging about like a fanny though, and unable to get to any of this. Annoyingly. Ah well, you'll have a good week at least! There is also a slightly confusing one, in that on the Sneaky Pete's website [...]

When DeLuna Fest premiered in 2010, no one could have foreseen that it'd be during a period when the Gulf Coast region was ravaged by one of the biggest eco-disasters in recent history. Despite premiering a festival against those adverse conditions, the Pensacola Beach, FL-based festival proved a success with a lineup featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, and Ed Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes. For its sophomore year, DeLuna Fest now prides itself as a "resort destination festival" and boasts an initial lineup made up of musical heavy weights and up-and-comers. Set [...]

Not new, and maybe totally irrelevant by now, but this song still sticks with me months later. Somehow it reflects my mood today perfectly. Sticky, hot, violent, and needy, Bad Books's "Baby Shoes" captures the filth and fierceness of Nirvana and with the purity and honesty of Elliot Smith.
