Killer show last night in Denton at Rubber Gloves with Mika Miko, Strange Boys, and Bad Sports. Picked up a cassette tape from BS and jammed that on the way home even though my ears were ringing non-stop. The guys from Denton made a lot of new fans last night from the small, but appreciative crowd. Strange Boys delivered a stellar set that was a good change in pace juxtaposed with the headliners, Mika Miko. They absolutely blew me away in terms of energy and the ability to galvanize an audience. Reminded me of some hybrid of Pylon/Go-Go’s.

Just noticed these guys were added to the bill on Friday night’s show in Denton at Rubber Gloves. Bad Sports will be joining as the opener for the Strange Boys and Mika Miko. The tunes are straight punk and found me scrambling to get the 7″ here on Boom Chick Records. I’m hoping there will be some at the show for purchase as it looks like these guys are pretty low on the radar as of now. The exposure associated with their upcoming show should prove beneficial to this burgeoning band. Classic, simple lyrics are placed alongside an unforgiving pace that is sure to make you wish there were more than five songs to be heard on their site. I was already pumped for this show Friday and now I’m definitely ready for this one!

According to my iPhone calendar, June is going to be a busy month for DFW live-music-fans. Nearly every day of June has a dot in its box, each dot representing at least one show that I deem calendar-worthy, which means that I’m going to need a new job and, by July, a new liver. We will keep you updated throughout the month on the live shows that we give our WTD stamp of approval. To kick us off, the first week of June is fucking monumental. Stare in awe below.
Ok, so I admit that this isn’t the most impressive show to start the week, but come on, hip-hop shows at The Loft are always a good time. Don’t forget to bring your own blunt. I don’t want to have to share mine with everyone. If you can’t make it, you can always watch Conan’s debut on the Tonight Show where you can also play guess-the-mumbled-lyric with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. Not hating. By the way, I’ve still got my flannels.
Fuck you, scheduling gods. I don’t know who let this happen, but I want to throw peanut m&m’s at their Adam’s apples. I guess you could try to squeeze both shows in, but that seems unlikely. I might have to give the edge to Passion Pit, just because the chances of my getting laid are much higher. [audible boos from the crowd] I know, I know, some people don’t like Passion Pit. (I’m looking at you, Jarvis. Hey, why don’t you just repeat Angela over and over again, that’s a way better song.) But those people suck.
This one is easy, especially if you’re already in Denton, which I’m not. The drive from Dallas should be well worth it, though, for BMSR alone. I hope Tobacco does the Pan’s Labyrinth hand eye thing. That never gets old. If you are stuck in Dallas, pull out the platforms and eyeliner and get your glam on.
If you don’t already have a ticket to Animal Collective, kill yourself. Or buy one now, because they’re still on sale. Wait, they’re SOLD OUT!! If both of those options fail, you could do a lot worse than the show at The Cavern. On any other night, I’d be there with bells on.
Once again, if you can make it to Denton, this one’s a no-brainer. If not, you’ll probably be much less likely to get pissed or vomited on at The Helio Sequence. Either way, fun shall be had by all.
I’m a huge Will Oldham fan. I don’t care what name he goes by, I love it all. Dude can even act. Never seen him live. Not sure what to expect. Must go.
If you survived week one, give yourself a day off. You’ll need your rest for week two.

Normally I track the weekly mixtape with newer, “more current”, songs but I had to throw in an old N.W.A. classic to express my frustration for the speeding ticket I got on the way home today. You got it, Fu** tha Police! People have places to go, and I guess traffic patrol helps to make you late for whatever that place may be. Other than that, there have been some great releases this past week that you all might enjoy (including a sweet mashup from The Hood Internet). The fourth installment of the weekly mixtape begins now….
N.W.A. – Fuck Tha Police
Talking Heads vs Apparat – Psycho Killer
Brakes – Worry About It Later
Lady of the Sunshine – White Rose Parade
Jeremy Enigk – Restart
Joey Casio – Share the Cup
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero
Higamos Hogamos – Major Blitzkreig
Cryptacize – Blue Tears
Viva Voce – Devotion
Mika Miko – I Got A Lot (New New New)
Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Contender
Passion Pit – Moth’s Wings
Japandroids – Sovereignty
Television Personalities – Look Back In Anger
