The Beets from TERROREYES.TV on Vimeo.

Up close and personal vid of The Beets through the lens of terroreyes.tv shot, like a couple of days ago, in a heavily wooded section of Sacramento. Currently The Beets are on tour (stopping through Dallas on May 14th) so make some time to check them out if in yr area.

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

The Beets//What Did I Do

thebeets

Queens lo-fi rockers play in “dungeons without dragons”, which is exactly where it sounds like they’re tunes were recorded. Another addition to the Captured Tracks label, these guys fit right it. The Beets latest album, Spit on the Face of People Who Don’t Want to Be Cool, is more garage pop than garage rock (more of a sunny day with your friends than a sunny day where you want to punch the chump standing next to you). Their LP can be purchased here on Insound. Also, Captured Tracks has released nine new 7″ LPs for the month of May, including The Beets Don’t Fit in My Head and another from one of my favs, Blank Dogs Slow Room (formerly known as In Here).
