So here is the WERE-WALLABY finished poster. I am planning on doing a series of these (4 in total) and I have to say, I'm pretty excited about it. Involves other W animals. I won't say which yet but I'll keep you updated.

PUNK ROCK PROM

WAS amazing. Probably some of the most fun I've had in a long while. Playing David Bowie cover tunes in a backyard to a bunch of punks... so awesome. I recommend everyone do this at least once in their life. Blastified...

On another note. I've been really into Anamanaguchi lately. So there's that.

R.I.P. CUCU


Today is the day (as Lesley and Greg will tell you) that I discovered that one of my favorite bands, Chin Up Chin Up, is no longer in existence. I know they said "fairwell" to fans earlier this year, but due to the hiatus they took, I didn't keep a close enough eye on them to notice. Some of the members left to form Vacations, which I do enjoy. I feel like Chin Upx2 had a lot more going on with the music and didn't make me feel like I was stuck in a tourist trap in Hawaii (**not a bad thing). Oh well... I guess these things happen. I do regret not seeing this wonder of a band live and then again, I don't recall them ever touring close enough to me that it would have been feasible to attend a show. I wrote a review of their sophomore release a couple years back and have had them in constant rotation on my iPod since I first heard their first record.

I had planned on leaving links to CUCU stuff but cannot find any on the web. I strongly encourage you get ahold of their material. It's great.

Despite what I have said here, Vacations is actually a really good band. They deserve some listening.

Check them.

Oh! What glorious FIRE OIL!(?)

What a wondrous day! Spent playing Plants Vs. Zombies (which I conquered today FYI), wandering around Wal-Greens, exploring an extraordinarily interesting Harvest Fest, and creating a delicious/nutritious meal in under an hour.
Pretty great eh?

Well, I think so.

On the cooking note, we've started a Recipe blog in which anyone is invited to contribute. I hope you all do. it should be awesome, I added the link to my links section.

Here's a look at our first contribution to the blog! And tonight's dinner. Which is inside of me. Right now. Gross.

One week

before school starts. For most of my friends, this is their last weekend free. Ah, the perks of community college.

Tonight is going to be a great night. How? Well, Team Z has the pleasure of playing the 2nd annual Overnight reunion show. I'm stoked. I love them and their music. So, if by some chance you are reading this the day of posting, come to the Taylair tonight and have a good time.

In other news, Zagadka will be playing with Dear and the Headlights next month. Woohoo! Another awesome band. I'd love to share some great music with y'all so I've got 3 things in mind.

2 having to do with this post:

DEAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS - DRUNK LIKE BIBLE TIMES

Finally home

So tour was awesome. Met tons of people. All of them were awesome and super nice. Big thanks to Mike and Darren, Tyler, Seri and Spencer, Jeff, Tom Mc, Byron, Charlie and the fam, and everyone else I forgot. We had a killer time with you all and can't wait to come back and see you again.

I am STOKED on the new David Bazan record right now. It feels so much different than any Pedro or Headphones for that matter. It's almost a chronicle of his religious inner conflict? At least that's what all the reviews are reading. I think I may see what Pitchfork has to say. They hate him. HOW CAN ANYONE HATE DAVID BAZAN?

Anywho,

Have a listen.

BONUS!!!!!!!!!!! His first solo EP
