Blackhawks & Radiator Girls // Black Girls Split While the label Two Michael Jordans has not produced alot of content thus far, what they have pushed out has been of mind-blowing quality. In continuing with that tradition is their newest cassette, a split between Blackhawks and Radiator Girls called Black Girls. The pairing of these two bands has me giddy with excitement. Being from the Philadelphia area myself, one of my favorite bands to come out of the city of brotherly love is [...]

Members of Tea Leaf Green will be performing at The Rusty Nail on May 3-4, 2011 If you, like me, happened to walk into the Rusty Nail on the Tuesday or Wednesday between last year's Jazz Fest weekends, you were treated to significantly more than just the comfortable atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks that are the bar's specialty. You would have walked into a day-long, indoor/outdoor music extravaganza featuring local and regional favorites plus surprise appearances by the likes of Bill Kreutzman and Blues Traveler's John Popper. The "Daze Between" Festival is coming back [...]
Radiation City - Park Portland’s Radiation City came recommended by a close friend last week, and after feeling this familiarity to their tunes, I... (Visit my blog for more!)
I’ve always envied my easy-going friends. They seem to move through life without stress, regardless of looming responsibilities and the ever-present prospects of tragedy, failure and natural disasters. That is not me. I worry about everything. What if my work isn’t good enough? What if I don’t make the right choices? What if there’s a huge earthquake and everything I know and love falls to pieces? In light of recent global events, this last one should be on everyone’s mind - especially here in California. We sit atop a Jenga-like assembly of constantly shifting tectonic plates and we [...]
Seattle readers, our buddies over at SOUND ON THE SOUND have put together a dream lineup this evening at the Columbia City Theater with headliners, STRONG KILLINGS , recent Rumble SEA band SLOWWAVE , and Portland's RADIATION CITY . $5 is a cheap Friday night.
This morning I was looking for something to listen on my mp3 player. Scrolling through, I came across Radiation City . "Who the hell were they?" I thought to myself, and How did it get there? I must have put the record there at some point because I liked it since I don't normally put stuff onto my mp3 player that I don't like. So, having confidence in my former taste and none in my long-term memory I dialed it up and listened. No less than 30 seconds into the first song Babies everything came rushing [...]
Anders Osborne is performing with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux at City Park on March 26, 2011 Hogs For The Cause is the brainchild of two local food aficionados who, in the fall of 2008, devised a plan to bring the hallowed tradition of the southern pig roast to New Orleans. Early on, founders Rene Louapre - one of the minds behind quintessential local food blog Blackened Out - and Becker Hall decided the pork bacchanalia should include some sort of charitable element, but they were unsure on who or what to focus until they [...]
Randall Munroe, of xkcd fame, created a handy infographic for those wondering how much radiation is too much and how much radiation are the people of Japan drinking in right now. It's worth perusing through Munroe's excellent work and his use of Monaco 1opt.
It’s been a while since we checked in with Chicago quartet Disappears . The band is knee-deep in a European tour with Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley manning the skins. However, Disappears took the time to make this video for their cover of “Radiation” by 70‘s new wave punks Suicide. Disappears truly make the song their own with a slow, but steady, driving beat that’s dark and trippy with the high contrast, black and white visuals to match. For a moment, you totally forget this is a tour video. Bravo, men. Fear not, [...]
TSA officials are calling it a 'calculation error.' Your junk is toast! One would think that if an organization is in the business of providing for public safety, they might have checked and re-checked mathematical calculations when it came to the controversial airport x-ray body scanners. Apparently, the TSA did no such thing. How is it that a miscalculation was made by so many people? The TSA officials remind one of the Vogons from "The Hitchhiker's [...]
photos by Jason House , words by BBG After a set in Pomona at Scion Rock Fest 2011 , Fuck The Facts headed east for a short tour that ended at Cake Shop on Saturday. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, the Canadian band's material they showcased at the Manhattan show was spread across all of their output, touching on burners like "The Sound of Your Smashed Head" from Sigmata Hi-Five , to "Wake" from the band's latest Unnamed [...]
If you’re looking for advice this weekend on how to fit it all in, heed the advice of the great and admirable Charlie Sheen who says: “I don’t sleep, I wait.” Thanks for that wizardly advice Charlie, we’ll let you know how that works out.
The Radiators kick off YLC's Wednesday at the Square series on March 30, 2011 I came down to New Orleans a little over three years ago and it didn't take long for this place to steal my heart. Everyone has a "That's when I fell for New Orleans" story, and although the anecdotes are similar to dreams in the way they are fun for the person talking but not necessarily engrossing for the listener, I'll share mine: On April 2, 2008, I headed down to Layfayette Square to check out the first installment of [...]
The day has been a busy one with me running all over getting blood tests done in two places and a tire checked and filled. The errands meant going across from one side of the cape to the other. The worst of it all was no morning coffee. Blood letting I don't mind but missing my morning coffee makes me grumpy. The cold just doesn't seem to want to leave. It's 27° now and last night was in the single digits, but I didn't care. I was inside, warm and cozy. Gracie made a pit stop on the [...]
Photo by Drew Reynolds In our interview with Brian Case of Chicago's psych-garage rockers Disappears , we asked him about a set of new songs Disappears have already recorded with current drummer Steve Shelley, who made a name for himself in a little band called Sonic Youth. Case informed us that the songs they've already recorded with Shelley are available on an EP, titled Live at Echo Canyon , which currently only available at Disappears' live shows. Soon, however, the EP will be available to all, through Chicago's excellent tape label [...]
Last week, a band celebrated its 33rd anniversary, two guys both named Billy teamed up for a great show in San Fran, one of the contestants in this week's Cover Wars did us the favor of playing Row Jimmy in their encore slot, an HT fave had a great matrix show up on the Live Music Archive and another band played their cover of Radiohead's National Anthem for a second time. To figure out who these bands are, have a listen to Last Week's Sauce. If you don't want to stay on the site for an hour streaming [...]
