Elbows Music Blog Community

Best Week Ever is entirely random...on a day when Matt Picasso puts up a GREAT post on Oh No! Oh My!, BWE links to my simple, plain and boring post on the band which offers no new information and the same song that everyone and their brother is putting up lately (Walk in the Park).

So, yeah, it's a YAYBLOG for me, because it's nice to be noticed...but it wasn't even the second best post on the band that was recently put up on a music blog. Random.

Chad,

The important thing is that Oh No! are getting some coverage. Thanks for saying my post was good. I didn't feel confident about it, but I couldn't sit on that one for very long. Haha. Actually I just remembered that I was putting it online and fell asleep for two hours in my computer chair. This would explain the disjointed writing style, I guess.

ANYWAY, well done sir.

Matt I actually found them [Oh No! Oh My!] for the first time when you posted on them this spring. Great band that I've been listening to since, thanks for sharing 'em regularly. Lolla after 6 shows is one of the most impressive things I've ever heard. I suppose Gnarls Barkley's has a headliner spot without many shows, but you know what I mean... that doesn't count lol.

Anyways back to YAYBLOG...

I've given in (or more accurately gotten off my ass) and made a podcast. I figured it would be a good way to preview bands from 10,000 lakes festival in minnesota in a couple weeks.

I'd love any comments/tips from some of you that have been doing this longer, or a headsup if I messed up my feed in there somewhere.

I attempted a remix of a Postal Service song. I guess that is a YAYBLOG.


Check It

OK GUYS ! I have a special Hold Steady song! I hope some of you love them like I do. OH PLUS I made a new header at work today.

thanks chris. haha when i read that i laughed out loud

then i realized that i, too, am on elbows on sat. night.

woooord

and why am i still on this board! WTF LATER

Yeah I was on here til about 5am after work... I didn't feel the need to comment lol

Oh man, I expected some shoe fetish site there, considering the hot kinky pics you put up with your shoegazer posts.

And all we get are ugly Nike sneakers. :P

I've posted mp3s of a couple new Wilco songs that they've been doing on tour. One called "There's A Light" here:

I did an interview with Kite Flying Society - a band that should definitely start taking the blogs by storm this summer if there's any justice in the world - and just posted it on the site...

Is anybody else here listening to this wonderful band?

my little note to why i suck at blogging nowadays

gil mantera's party dream. fuck yes!

cookies are a yayblog! any blogger that talks about cookies are great.

not necessarly cookies though, but i need to swing by my local health food store sometime soon. i have a craving for peanut-butter filled pretzels. (yes, peanut butter. it's actually really good and one of my friends (who plays in a band) recommended them to me and i'm hooked.)

Yeah, Matt, they said some VERY nice things about you in the interview..saying how much cooler you were at 19 than they would ever be, how big of fans they were of your site, how great it was that you picked up on their music. If you haven't heard it yet, you definitely should...it will make you feel warm and fuzzy. :)

yeah, they've been pushing it again. i keep meaning to write something but never feel like it on a given night. do you have any idea when he's releasing new material?

I'd be insulting people too if I fabricated interviews for the Village Voice and lost my job. Everything about that article (especially the band choices) is hilarious.

And especially comparing Beirut to NMH without mentioning a dude from NMH plays all over the record with him. Dude needs to research. I guess old journalistic habits die hard.

you kids and your ethics-free blogosphere. *sigh*

.

If there's no Toto there, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

I put Toto in there just for you, Ben.
