Hey Ya'll, Over the past couple months I've been working on organizing the Biblioball with the wonderful ladies at the Desk Set . They asked me to curate the live music portion their party, and of course I said yes! Playing between the amazing DJs, trapeze artists, dancers, raffles, and all of the other fun that will be going on this Saturday, December 4th, are three bands that I'm happy to be bringing to the Biblioball and the Bell House.

I got my first apartment in 2004 in Old Louisville. I had lived in the East End for a year when I first moved to town, but moving downtown really felt like my first big city experience. I grew up in a very small town in central Michigan so everything in Louisville seemed exciting, especially the music. I found myself a few times crammed into the Old Louisville Coffeehouse or Crescent Hill Baptist watching a number of bands like the great Poison Control Center or Harry and the Potters playing with who I thought was the greatest band I had [...]
i'm getting ready to finish up a 2-week break from work here and it occurred to me that not once in that period did i have the slightest desire to update this blog. i guess i still don't, since all i've got is this lazy post with a bunch of songs that remind me of the ways i have been spending my time.... mostly video games. lots of video games... ratchet and clank future: tools of destruction (ps3) mp3: kid tiger - future umbrella mp3: daft punk [...]

Ok, so I like Harry Potter. I've read the series many times and while I don't get all caught up in the hype of the movies, I generally expect them to have some semblence to the original story. I saw Half Blood Prince today and while you obviously can't include every single detail from the books, surely it's not too much to expect vital plot points to be included and explained properly? I don't want to say too much so as not to spoil things for those of you who may still be wanting to check [...]

To ride on the success and jump on the bandwagon of Harry Potter of the Half-Blood Prince, I've brought you some Harry Potter related music. I am seeing the film tomorrow and I can't wait! My favourite HP film so far is 'HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban' directed by Alfonso Cuaron who has also directed the magnificent film 'Children of Men' starring Clive Owen. Well, firstly I bring you an awesome Harry Potter style rap battle featuring Harry and Voldemort. Pottermania has spawned a new genre of [...]

Yup, so the new Harry Potter movie - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out tomorrow, and it's safe to say I'm psyched. While I'm not going to see it at midnight, I AM skipping out on work tomorrow afternoon so I can catch a matinee (and also so I can participate in a day-long b-day celebration, but I'm the one who added wizardy fun to the day's festivities). To get myself in the mood, I decided to listen to a few magical tunes, which turned into me throwing together [...]

mp3: harry and the potters - save ginny weasley i sorta indirectly talked some shit about harry and the potters earlier this week and would like to clarify. i don't entirely dislike harry and the potters... "save ginny weasley" gets my vote for the best harry potter inspired song yet written and i've been forcing (usually annoyed) people to listen to it for five years now. that's worth something. but moving beyond "save ginny weasley"... it's all way too much. they have probably penned a few other noteworthy potter songs... but [...]

I'm amazed by the whole nerd movement that seems to have been going on for the last few years. Musically it has even been spinning off into even more defined nerd rock genres like "video game rock" or "wizard rock" ( Harry and the Potters ). The novelty of the dorkiness of this movement has not worn off and as a frequent reader of XKCD and a self-proclaimed "Orch Dork," I'm still quite enthralled by this genre. So it may not be a surprise that I was quite amused by Austin band Built by Snow 's latest [...]

File this under "Summer tours I'm upset about missing." The Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo 2008 promises to be much more than a tour, though. In fact, it's a "DIY traveling summer camp circus." Who can dislike that idea? And with bookworms Harry and the Potters , Math the Band (think Matt and Kim without their ritalin) and sock-puppet-rockers Uncle Monsterface filling the bill, you can imagine that enthusiasm certainly will be unlimited on this cross-country jaunt. While I've never gotten into Harry and the Potters (because I've never gotten into [...]
