Officially, this is the last weekend of Summer. Which means, of course, a lot of weird festivals. Including a 902s rock festival, a leather fest, and an amazing multiband gig full of wonderful jangle pop! Thursday, September 20th Azure Ray, Soko at Swedish American Hall Azure Ray are at the point in there career where [...]

September is here! Friday begins with Atmosphere at the Cabooze Outdoor Plaza. This night also features hard rock main acts Stone Temple Pilots (The Myth) and Chevelle (First Avenue). Later in the eve

THE FACEOFF The Dark Knight Rises opened at midnight, and it’s an all-but-guaranteed blockbuster. The fourth real Batman movie1 represents an epic showdown between two powerhouse forces: not Batman and Bane, its two main characters. And not the biggest comic book companies, who are about to slug it out as we see whether D.C.’s Batflick [...]

Review - Rockin' the Rapids with Weezer - Cedar Rapids, IA - 6-10-12 Review - Rockin' the Rapids w/ Weezer, Fuel, Tonic, Chevelle, and Filter This was such a cool show! Iowa City Rock station, 94.1 KRNA, brought this great line-up to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  Rockin' the Rapids was a smaller festival nestled on the river bank downtown. It was quite hot, but that didn’t stop the Rock-hungry fans from having a killer time. I would guess the crowd was [...]

Review - Lazerfest 2012 @ The Central Iowa Expo - Boone, IA 5-13-12 Review - Lazerfest 2012 @ Central Iowa Expo Another Lazerfest has come and gone. It was moved to the Central Iowa Expo Center in Boone, Iowa this year. The old location had a lot of traffic problems and was notorious for being a hellish mud pit when the weather didn’t cooperate. The decision may have kept some fans away (not knowing how the new location would pan out), but those who [...]

Your wonderful Wednesday: ► It's a night of crackling modern power-pop at the El Rey Theatre —  Ben Kweller headlines behind his new album "Go Fly a Kite," supported by Kentucky's Sleeper Agent , fresh out of Coachella and getting some ink from the Times , and NYC's the Dig , whose sophomore album "Midnight Flowers" is on the way in late May. That's Sleeper Agent's video for "Get Burned," above. ► Talk about your dry spells: Vintage psychedelic rockers Strawberry Alarm Clock play the Satellite behind their first [...]

Win Tickets: Chevelle @ Club Nokia – Los Angeles, CA – 4/25/12 Its been several years since I have seen Chevelle live, but from what I remember these guys rock! If you don't believe me just watch the killer vid at the end of this post. They have released six studio albums and sold over 3 million albums in the United States alone. Chevelle has toured with bands such as Sevendust, 30 seconds to mars, Filter, Machine Head, Powerman 5000 and Evanescence.  Chevelle's music is often described as a mix of Tool [...]

Well, I've never done a countdown like this before. It was certainly an experience and there's (appropriately) not much more to say about this. It's an enjoyable episode and I think you'll enjoy it a lot! Thanks so much to my sister for all her help and contributions this week. Countdown #94 ***Featuring*** AWOLNATION The Black Keys Chevelle Foo Fighters Foster the People Fun Gotye Grimes Grouplove Janelle Monae Kimbra Rise Against Young the Giant

By Michel Dussack Back in December, Chevelle released their latest record ‘Hats Off to the Bull’ to overwhelmingly positive critical reception. On February 29th, they brought the ‘Hats Off to the Bull tour’ to New York’s legendary (and intimate) Irving Plaza to deliver an energetic 90 minute set to a sold out crowd that touched upon nearly every release in the band’s 13 year discography. Directly supporting Chevelle on this tour are the Californian rock band known at Middle Class ...

Well, this is when I would prefer to be finishing up a countdown. It's currently Friday evening and it's not even 11 yet! Woohoo! So my sister is coming to stay with us for a week. It's going to be lots of fun and I'm certain we'll listen to lots of music. I can't wait until I have a computer of my own again so that I can DL all these episodes I've been making for like the last 6 weeks and listen to them on my iPod! Countdown #93 [...]

You'll see what I mean when you listen to the episode. I feel like I'm in one of those situations where I'm playing catch-up. I mean, it's not as bad as it used to be, but this is the latest I've been putting a countdown together in MONTHS. I suppose it'll get better, right? Countdown #92 ***Featuring*** AWOLNATION The Black Keys Blink-182 Chevelle Coldplay Foo Fighters Foster the People Fun. featuring Janelle Monae Gotye featuring Kimbra Homer Simpson Rise Against Sleigh Bells Young the Giant

That's right. We have a couple more songs debuting on our chart this week and I'm pretty excited about both of them. One is by an old friend of the countdown and one is by someone we've never seen on the charts before. Listen and enjoy! Also, in a couple of weeks, I'll be hitting Countdown #100. Any ideas about what I should do, if anything, to commemorate the occasion? I'll try to remember to ask on the next podcast, too. Countdown #91 ***Featuring*** AWOLNATION The Black Keys Chevelle Coldplay [...]

We had one new song last week and this week we have two more! So exciting! We also have a very mellow segment on this one, so remember to relax during that part. (I was going to have an exclamation point, but a period is just so much more mellow, you know?)
