Still haven’t gotten the whole “podcast” perfected yet. But, no worries, I’ll keep to my word. Can’t say it’s the most eventful weekend (show-wise), unless you’re just dying to make it to that New Kids on the Block bash tonight (seriously, this is not some lame ass joke). Here’s a slight recap of the week and (as always) a few extra I couldn’t let slide.
UPDATE: Remember how I said this weekend was uneventful? Well, I’m completely full of shit. Tonight, for all you readers in the DFW area, the Dallas Observer will be showcasing most of the musicians nominated for this years Dallas Observer Music Awards (DOMAXXI, their 21st year). Six venues in the Lower Greenville area will host 40 bands for the oh-so-low price of 5 bucks. WTD favs Bad Sports, Yeahdef, and Fergus and Geronimo are just a few in what should be an abundance of stellar live music. Here is the lineup/schedule.
Spectrals – Leave Me Be
Javelin – Vibrationz
Thee Oh Sees – Meat Step Lively
The Yolks – I Do What I Do
Kurt Vile – Overnite Religion
The Big Pink – Velvet
Cold Cave – Love Comes Close
Pictureplane – Dark Rift
Bat For Lashes – Pearl’s Dream (blossom and surrender remix)
Neon Indian – Should Have Taken Acid With You
The Beets – What Did I Do
Wavves – Wavves
Tim Cohen – Take Aim Goliath

Despite the hilarious title of this tune, “Lindsay Brohan”, Javelin are not joking around. Actually, I was just recently familiarized with Javelin after reading a track review at some really obscure, off-the-radar website. Their latest, self-released, album Jamz and Jemz is completely sunsoaked with beach-y synth and loop genius. I’ll go ahead and say it (like everyone is saying about tunes this Summer), this will go perfect on any mixtape related with pools/Summer/beaches/flip flops. Oddly enough, it seems that this LP was released in the cold chills of Winter.
complimentary:
Not only does Javelin appeal to fans of Summer related goods, but those couch potatoes that have mastered the art of Mike Tyson’s Punchout.
