Dark Reign-The List: Daredevil, a one-shot, is the first glipse we get of the work of Andy Diggle , the new writer who has the difficult task of following Ed Brubaker 's long, life-changing run on Daredevil. You may recall that Brubaker had to follow Bendis' run, which also changed Matt Murdock's life for good. If Murdock keeps getting writers like this, there's going to be nothing left of him. In fact, that's just where Brubaker left off: Murdock gives away his life (actually, he puts his stuff in storage, so technically he could return) [...]

![[Retrospective: Ben Kweller]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1828583_lg.jpg)
"I'm like my grandma - short, but I stand tall, playin' every card that's dealt to me." At the time, it seemed almost blasphemous for this Texan to catch his first Ben Kweller experience outside of the Lone Star state - California, to be exact. Nothing was wrong with that show. In fact, it was brilliant. But Kweller is a Texan boy through and through, it just seems more to catch him where he's home. Proving that right is the set he delivered Saturday night. Coming on to stage as if he'd been battling [...]

Most recent single "Ballad of Wendy Baker" can be found below for your listening pleasure. Download: Ben Kweller - Ballad of Wendy Baker [MP3]

Sounds like a perfect night to us...Good luck in New York, Chris! Then, on Saturday we are really excited to be presenting a show at Tripp [...]
I was recently hipped to Panacea producer K-Murdock's blog Neosonic Productions by an ML reader. Murdock, besides being a dope producer, also does a monthly mix of instrumentals on his radio show, SubSoNiQ Instru-mentals. Here's the latest episode, with beats by DJ Spinna, Flying Lotus, Madlib, J Dilla and more. The instrumental selection is choice and the mixing is nice, making this mix perfect for mellowing out during the last few hours of sun. Vibe to this.

Mannnnnnnn, Hurricane Ike better stay the hell away from Austin tomorrow night because if the Mogwai show gets rained out I am going to go on a rampage. It's been 5 years since I last saw my favorite live band in the universe and I will not accept any of this rain nonsense! I will be swimming in positive thoughts from here on out, I swear. So, obviously, this is a post about the Mogwai show at Stubbs tomorrow night. I've had my ticket for a while now and the anticipation is mounting. In order [...]

Also, new music from The Black Keys, Sun Kil Moon, REM, and more. To [...]
