The stuff that dreams are made of... C'mon, you didn't actually think I'd publish my 2011 lists during the actual year of 2011...did you? Now that I have the undivided attention of eight people: Best Show(s) That I Never Saw Lightning Bolt at Healthy Times Fun Club (RIP) Soundgarden/Queens of the Stone Age/Mastodon etc. at the Gorge Pig Destroyer at [...]
photos: Ned Lannamann I'm in the will-call line at the Crystal Ballroom, finding myself childishly psyched for this show as though I was a teenager again. There's been a lot of anticipation for this one, mostly nostalgic reminiscences of the first time someone heard Bug , and acknowledgment that this would have been a pretty badass bill back in 1988. I was only four then, but hey—I can imagine. You've got rootsy NW punk rock legends Pierced Arrows , a reunited Scratch Acid (David [...]
DINOSAUR JR., SCRATCH ACID, PIERCED ARROWS ( Crystal Ballroom , 1332 W Burnside) Oh man, this is gonna be special: For this super-short West Coast tour, Dinosaur Jr. performs their 1988 classic album Bug in its entirety. And if that were not enough—good heavens, you are greedy—before they play they're going to be interviewed about the album live, on stage, by none other than Henry Rollins. All that plus a Scratch Acid reunion? There isn't a "YES!" big enough for this awesomeness. NED LANNAMANN Also, read our article on Scratch Acid [...]
Merry Moondoggies ::: photo by Abbey Simmons I get tired of writing about the same bands all the time. Just as I'm sure you get tired of reading me write about the same bands over and over again. So what do you think I did for this holiday season? I wrote a letter to the North [...]

![[Photos + GIFs] Cropped Out Fest – 11.11 thru 11.13.11 – Louisville](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3913937_lg.jpg)
Cropped Out Fest not only succeeded in coming back a second time, a feat not easily accomplished, the stridently fringe festival also returned in bigger and better fashion - in terms of attendance, community enthusiasm, facilities, and that intangible festival vibe that can make or break a multi-stage weekend event. Cropped Out 2011 certainly became the product of learning what worked and what didn't from the inaugural fest last year. Though the weather is beautiful in this part of the country during the fall, it can also act unpredictably, as we learned during Cropped Out 2010 - [...]

We're talking about some sweet shows including Shonen Knife's 30th anniversary tour stop at Empty Bottle, plus Mastodon at the Riv and Panda Riot at the Burlington. Let's hop to it. FRIDAY MASTODON [...]
As previously reported, ATP UK curated by Jeff Mangum has been postponed from December 2011 to March 9-11th, 2012. As a result, there are a few changes to the previously announced lineup, which the festival revealed today. To start, Panda Bear, Tinariwen, Superchunk, Group Inerane, The Mountain Goats, and Colin Stetson are all unable to play the new date and have been removed from the bill. What's more, the festival is still speaking to Fleet Foxes, Sun Ra Arkestra and Micachu And The Shapes and hopes to confirm their participation soon. As [...]
David Yow is one of the more interesting frontmen to have come out of rock and roll in the past few decades, if only because of the contradictions inherent in the way that he operates: on the one... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
words & photos by Keith Marlowe Scratch Acid @ Webster Hall In lieu of a review of Monday night's Scratch Acid show at Webster Hall , their first NYC show in many, many years, writer/photographer Keith Marlowe presents this open letter to the band's frontman: =================== Dear David Yow, I love you.

I wrote about the Zen Frisbee Halloween show featuring Shit Horse for this week's Indy. In case you don't see it, here's the gist: Shit Horse put on a great show at Hopscotch despite technical difficulties, and you should go see them Monday night at Local 506 . Here are some other shows you should check out this week (assuming, of course, that you're not going to be in Asheville for Moogfest this weekend). Thursday [...]
To be honest I'm looking for motivation to get back into the 4 strings thinking. Besides literally trying to find the bandwidth to do it right with Eastern Anchors . I'm not sure why you'd need more inspiration than bands like Girls Against Boys for inspiration in particular when there is awesome tone, tube amps and distortion pedals are at play on every song. GvsB were a innovator in this spectrum of rock, however there are a crap load of other bass players who's bass licks are just as stellar. Kill the Sexplayer [...]
From Cropped Out's Facebook : Cropped Out aims to celebrate a select fistful of contemporary musicians, artists, and artisans whom we feel reflect a greater undercurrent of sonic, visual, and conceptual exploration. It is our intention to turn heads toward the talents of those often omitted, overlooked, or cropped out of "the big picture." These are the minds most interesting to us, the minds most capable of emerging from and quickly returning to their lightlessness, if only to be briefly met by a niche appreciation. Cropped Out KY: Cropped Out is a locally [...]
