Electronic / Pop / Disco Calvin Harris is an artist who frustrates and confuses me more than any other. Upon first hearing the cheesy " Acceptable In The 80's " I thought "Oh, haha, a cheeky song about 80's fashion. Cute, but annoying", then I heard the abominal drug and fluro referencing I Created Disco , and firmly placed him in my "musical dickhead" pile. Soon after, I heard his fabulous cover of Jamiroquai 's " Stillness In Time [...]

Geez, what a bunch of shows. Why does everyone feel the need to constantly express themselves? Come on, take the night off. Do you really want to be worried about your big show all day, and all that entails? Having to load in, load out, walking around nervously while the other bands play or DJ's are on (who you are most surely better than, of course), monitoring your merch table and pretending you haven't made a mental note of everything you've sold and given away for free, until finally, it's your moment to shine. I [...]

Friday night was a great evening for an outdoor show; the cool breeze of the impending rains allowed the crowd to remain cool during what would normally be considered a hot Texas night. Til We're Blue or Destroy opened up the evening just before The Shaky Hands, which led us into the night's main event, The Thermals . Follow the jump for full show review. Til We're Blue or Destroy reminded the locals just why they are one of the big movers in the [...]

As promised, here is the first of three installments of the henceforth annual Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love Year-End Round-Up. When I first started this weekly mix business back in January, I had no idea what would come of it, or whether I could even keep it up. In fact, I originally thought I would do it for the year and then end it gracefully; however, after its relative success, I've re-evaluated and figured I will try it once more for 2009. It may become a bit harder once [...]

Monday, November 10, 2008 - Fun Fun Fun Fest - Day 2 - Waterloo Park - Austin, TX - Til We're Blue Or Destroy The last time I saw Til We're Blue Of Destroy was seemingly forever ago, but I do remember that they really impressed. This time, in the hot sun and at a 1pm, I thought that they were only OK. Although, I will say that the huge wall of noise that the small army of [...]
This year's Fun Fun Fun Fest is going be our third and last festival this year (we had a great time at both Lollapalooza and ACL ). We're definitely excited to be going and so should you. There seems to be a lot of bands that aren't well known (yet!), and we think this is a positive. It's all about discovering new music you'll be listening to in the future. It's our job to help you get prepared for this weekend. We've dug around the internet and came up with all [...]
