weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

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

Already producing a remix for the latest HEALTH single, “Die Slow”, and releasing a well-received single from his forthcoming LP, Dark Rift, Denver’s Pictureplane has now dropped the title track. “Dark Rift” is just as dark and grimy as any tune I’ve heard from the guy (the three tracks I just mentioned: “die”, “goth”, “dark”..pattern maybe?) and is complimentary to my anticipation for the release of his LP. Dark Rift will be available via Lovepump United on August 4th.

Pictureplane – Dark Rift
Pictureplane – Goth Star
