I now have personalized playtagger buttons! Many thanks to Ben:Bub from Busted up Bulldozers. They need a bit of tweaking, but so far they're very close to what I was shooting for.

I finally weighed in on "In Rainbows"
"In Rainbows" Radiohead: and How They Earned the Right to Blow Your Mind -
Well I thought a lot of Oasis might be thrilled by this so here it is:
The Oasis Giveaway
It's a small contest in which you'll be able to win a limited edition Oasis "Lord Don't Let Me Down" vinyl single, just by writing a small comment. Cheers. -
-
Cool photos, Paul! I love the colors.
-
Thanks! And, of course, an hour after I post those, my server goes down. Sigh. I hate my host sometimes.
EDIT - it's back! hurray -
-
hello elbows friends, ive made a new header, something i do fairly often.
however, i spent a lot more time ont his one tha i normally do.
let me know what you think!
http://skatterbrain.org -
that's your best one yet - its a keeper.
-
That is a good one. When I opened the page though, the American Apparel ad loaded before your header, and I was like, wait, did Matt make his header from an AA Ad? :-p
-
yeah photobucket is running a bit slow today, not sure why...
-
Hi everybody-
I'm new around here, but if ya don't mind I want to throw out a yayblog to myself about last nights Springsteen show at the LA Sports Arena. My blog is called Small Things Stupid Packages. Hey Paul- those are some great photos!

Speed of Dark has a whole new design today!
My daughter rocks!

Nice review, Brian! Gawd, I hate big concerts. The Hollywood Bowl is the biggest I'll go to anymore. You were so fortunate to get in the pit. -
Nice work Indie Mom! The design stays out of the way and where you notice it, it's cool. I'm a fan.
-
I saw that earlier and thought 'I'm sure I would have remembered this site looking so cool before - how didn't I notice?' Nice to see I'm not going mad.
-
yeh, that new design looks great - nice work!
-
thanks, Indie Mom...it takes a lot to get me to go a barn like the Sports Arena. I'm seeing the Hold Steady & Art Brut at the Henry Fonda next week, good place to see a show. I really like Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, too, have you been there?
Great site, btw. I'm adding you -
For the record, folks, my daughter is the Indie Mom and I am the alt-Gramma. Yes, I am really a grandma! She's the webmaster on our site; I just write alot and take photos.
Brian, I haven't been to either of those places--yet! We're seeing Of Montreal at the Avalon next week. Also have tics to Aimee Mann's 2nd Annual Christmas show on the 30th at the El Rey, which, along with the Wiltern, is one of our very favorite venues. Thanks for the ad!
-
Linda, I can't remember, are you going the 8th or 9th for Of Montreal? I'm going the 8th and then to MIA on the 9th
-
We're going on the 9th, so we'll miss you. Indie Mom can't do weeknights very well. I would LOVE to meet peeps!
-
Indie Mom says the new design looked good when she was at home on both IE and Firefox, but on IE at her work the header and footer aren't in the right place. Anybody else see anything funky on IE? Safari, anyone?
-
Nope. All clear on IE here. Maybe a touch better than it looks on FF. And also for the record, I knew you were alt gramma. You noted your daughter did the design and I assumed it wasn't the Kevin Kinney loving daughter. Plus, I now notice she credited herself at the bottom!
-
Inspired by the songstress in your new header, I checked Songbird as well (v 0.2.5.1) and that looks just as good.
Side topic: why would anyone need three browsers on one desktop? Other side topic, I wonder if I have a fourth I'm not thinking of. Real and WMP both browse HTML as well, don't they. That's 5. -
It was wonky on my IE at work. The header was shifted to the left a bit and didn't line up. Otherwise it looks great!
-
Holy ass I got a promo cd that I actually like! Killed By 9V Batteries. Check it out here. I'd never heard of them or their label before but I think its great stuff.
-
wow, linda, i step away from the computer for 6 hours and you up and redesign your site! i love the colors. very soothing. tell indie-mom she did a great job. now i have to go read those concert reviews! : )
-
Oooh, I really like the new Speed of Dark design. Reminds me that I really need to work on mine.
-
nobosox - is your site named after The Ghosts of Cable Street?
-
Let's hope so. The Men... are playing in Southampton in December and I'm very tempted to make a trip south.
-
Toad,
I took the name from the song "Academy Fight Song" by Mission of Burma, specifically from this partThe halls smell like piss
The rooms are underlit
Still it must be nice
You're such a perfect fit
What's that I hear?
The sound of marching feet
It has a strange allure
It has a strange... allure
It's one of my favorite songs. -
Ah, well Crash and I were referring to a song by The Men They Couldn't Hang called The Ghosts of Cable Street, which is about the defeat of Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists just before the war. He marched, he was met by ordinary people, he lost. Quite an inspiring story actually, and a brilliant song.
-
yeah when you asked the question, I did a google search and came up with that wikipedia entry. Definitely a cool story. I've never heard the song before. I'll look for it.
-
Posted photos from a Sigur Ros movie screening/secret show last night in LA

Really cool photos, Paul and Akmal!

I approached a newish local band (The Calm Blue Sea) about distributing an ep digitally through my website and they agreed, so here it is. They were planning on just giving it away for free anyway, and this cuts down significantly on their printing costs so it works out for both of us. I really like it, they recorded it all live in the living room of my old house. I had planned on doing this with a bunch of local bands, but my landlord sold the house and I had to move, so its kind of back to the drawing board now. If I can find somewhere really cheap to record bands at I want to try to do this again. It was a fun process. Has anyone else done anything similar to this? If this goes well and I can find other bands that are interested I may start some sort of digital label that just gives the music away. I think the ep sounds really good considering how it was recorded and how super low budget they did it for. Having talented friends who work for free helps a lot. Anyway, let me know what you think, both of the concept and the music itself.
-
oh yeah, and if you only have time to listen to one song, id recommend the second track, literal. I think it's fantastic.
-
Very nice. I like it!

Giving away a free EP from The New Amsterdams (ex-Get Up Kids) with two songs from a new album as well as two new demos. This is straight from the band so it's totally legal: http://www.hatesomethingbeautiful.com/?p=1315
Originally giving it away through another website I help run (absolutepunk.net) but that doesn't mean I can't put it on my blog as well. -
i really enjoyed (and was impressed by) both of these posts. enough to yayblog them:
