I hope everybody had a nice weekend! I did; a few very random updates for you:
- The White Stripes played a "warm up" gig for their US tour, on July 28, 2005, @ the Glass House in Pomona, California. Courtesy of The Modern Age, you can view some pics or read the review of the show. Wish I could've been there...
- As I missed last Thursday's big Kings of Leon, Secret Machines, Shout Out Louds gig... I believe Anglophiliac will be posting a review... however, until then here's the Star Tribune's review. (bugmenot)
- Another show I missed was on Friday, Teenage Fanclub & The Rosebuds. Luckily Chromewaves did an excellent review including pictures of their gig on 7/25/05.
- Saturday I really wanted to go to Mark Mallman's last show of his 7 day bash. Escpecially since Vicious, Vicious was the opening band. However, unfortunately I couldn't find anybody to join me (sniff!). Check out HowWasTheShow's blog for pictures and stories of the full event.
- In case you didn't see this in NME a little while back. Spin has a track-by-track rundown of the new Strokes record, out soon!
- Speaking of Spin, you can check out their "reflections on Lollapalooza 2005".
- You can watch live concert video from Lollapalooza on SBC's Blue Room (as well as other live-performances and interviews). They'll also be streaming live ACL performances 9/23 - 9/25/05 (in case you're not going).
- Austin City Limits 3-day passes are sold out according to their website. Limited quantities of 1 day passes can still be purchased however... As mentioned above SBC Blue Room will be streaming live...
- I'd really like to check out a movie on the roof of the Solera Restaurant, downtown Minneapolis, sometime! Tomorrow's "Love Actually"/Newcastle combination sounds very inviting for example. Anybody interested, send me a "shout"...
- Locals, new show added: Son Volt @ First Avenue, Thu 10/13/05.
- Locals, new show added: Death Cab For Cutie @ First Avenue, Mon 10/10/05, and Tue 10/11/05.
- You Aint No Picasso has an excellent collection of Indie Covers for you to download! Excellent collection, and most excellent site!
- Are you sick of having to register for websites, such as NY Times, and others? I know I am... Here's a useful tool: bugmenot.com. Enjoy, that should be the last time you ever registered for a site...
- In personal news, today is my 5th day of non-smoking! I got a lot of exercise this weekend... I actually conducted a test and biked to work, and back home yesterday... about 15 miles each direction. I'm actually quite surprised at myself I made it... my ass is kind of sore from the bike-seat at the moment however!
- More to come later today or tomorrow! Cheers, out!
