I sincerely apologize for the lack of post yesterday. My internet connection was going haywire. But alas, it is fine now and so am I, so here is my post that is now overdue. I haven't done a mix in a while, so I decided that the birth of September 2006 would be a suitable reason for celebration. So I bring to you my Songs of September. Although it may have been cooling down for the rest of the world, here in Texas, it's still in the mid '90's. It will probably stay as [...]
Yes, I just got a California Drivers License (Class C). While I have to use parents and relatives cars I can still drive. I really hope I can start going to more shows. (My first big drive is gonna be the Oh No! Oh My! secret show in LA I hope) I celebrate with music: The Beatles- Baby You Can Drive My Car Classic.

The local Phoenix/Tempe music community is pulling together tonight for a benefit show at the Marquee Theatre for Mark Covert, who owned Nita's Hideaway, which used to be the best club for live music in the Valley.

"I'm going to end up burning out too soon." I'm a big Jimmy Eat World fan. Huge, in fact. That's why I'm surprised I had never even heard the slightest murmur about Go Big Casino . This is the side project of Jimmy frontman Jim Adkins. In all honesty, I still know next to nothing about this project. Go here to study up, they know a lot more than I do.

Happy Fourth of July dearest patriotic readers. To help you celebrate, we've put together a playlist of Independence Day-related tunes. Feel free to let them accompany your backyard BBQ or your late night bottlerocket launching. Ironically though, most of these songs came from major label records, not independent. Our favorite track in the bunch is the Descendents' excellent "'Merican," which keeps it real while keeping it patriotic: "I'm proud and ashamed every Fourth of July / You got to know the truth before you say that you got pride." Happy 4th ya'll! [...]
