Birdmonster have been one of 2006's MBA's (that's MBA as in Most Blogged About) due to the strength of their blazing debut cd, No Midnight, as well as their frenetic live performances. This one quote I came across sums up what Birdmonster is about quite nicely, "Birdmonster plays rock and roll. And they play it with enough energy and reckless abandon that when you find them after the show, they usually smell like barnyard animals and can barely breathe." Well, if you don't find the smell of barnyard animals particularly appealing, then perhaps [...]

If I could be any baseball player ever, I would be a left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. I would be Bill Lee. Ahead of his time, funny, smart, and completely off the fucking wall. I had no idea this documentary, SPACEMAN: A BASEBALL ODYSSEY, was coming out until my father sent me a link to the trailer. I almost started crying, laughing my balls off halfway through when they show footage of
This was far from easy and this list at one point or another had the likes of Tool, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Thom Yorke, Hot Chip, and Arctic Monkeys. I whittled it down from the list that I started on my flight out to California last week and then I sat on it. Came back to it. Changed it. And this morning I finalized it. Complete with B-sides.

Finally. Birdmonster and Division Day are making their way to our fine state, playing Modified on August 19. Only $6. These two bands have been touring like mad with no Phoenix stops. Birdmonster has played Tucson a couple of times. So I'm pretty jazzed about this show. Six dollars? Six American dollars? Hel-lo! That's a bargain. You can't get out of Subway these days for less than $6. Birdmonster | Balcony Division [...]
Hey, have you heard about this Birdmonster ? I think they are pretty good. I figured it was about time to post about them, since they are playing on Friday and all. Riiight. Something like that. So it's no secret that the word Birdmonster has now become a part of my daily language. I just can't keep my mouth shut about how good these guys are. I force people to listen to them, because I must do it. And not one person has told me they aren't a fan. [...]
Friday night I was staying with my sister in midtown. Completely broke and slightly perturbed because both my teams had lost in the day's earlier World Cup matches, I decided to walk to Sin-e both to save money and rid myself of some pent up frustration. I didn't have high hopes that the evening would do much to lift my spirits, but there is one thing you should never do- underestimate the rejuvenate qualities of really great live music. As Matt said below, Birdmonster was great. I usually have [...]
