The Exchanges

The Exchanges - Tell A Friend
at this point, i should just move to canada. i would either lead a more satisfied life, or i would die from exhaustion trying to go to all the shows. granted I could do that here but don't, so maybe i'm exagerating my point. but still - the promise of a howl like this could get me to most any show.

it's about time to shut it down for a few days of family and not-working, so i'll see you around.

Teenage Frames

Teenage Frames - What A Way To Go!

it sounds like the new york dolls covering cheap trick. maybe i just hadn't noticed, but there seems to be an emerging group of bands that seem to be indie arena acts that sort of sound roughly like a garage band until you hear some of the drum fills and guitar riffs they're ripping off, which are straight out of a sweet record.

and yes, that sounds like a clown honking a bicycle horn in the intro to me too.

we don't sleep at night

more and more i'm convinced that death from above is one of the top 5 bands going right now.

Death From Above 1979 - We Don't Sleep At Night


their show at the el rey last month was just incredible. this band is so goddamn hardcore it's unnecessary. it's totally uncalled for how good they are. this track is from the romantic rights single, and i don't know about you but i most certainly do not sleep at night. i've gotten into a rut of taking massive afternoon naps, which has kicked my sleeping pattern in the side of the head. i seem to sleep about 4 or 5 hours at night and try to suss out a few hours for napping at some more "reasonable" time. maybe it's the lack of proper nutrition or an under-stimulated imagination, but sleeping at night is now purely optional.

the single has romantic rights, pull out (another b-side), and a really bad remix of romantic rights by girls are short. but hell, tell me who else plays a bass like that and i'll buy their singles too.
