Jamie Lidell!

Hey guys. Haven't updated my blog in a while. Got some big stuff brewing that I'm dying to tell you guys...when the timing is right :). Anyhow, went and saw Jamie Lidell last night at the Metro in Chicago. Wow.




He basically did accapella remixes of his own songs that lasted about 10 minutes. The guy's voice is flawless and so soulful. Crazy Brit livin' in Berlin! Such a talented guy. Go check out "Multiply" on iTunes if you haven't already.

THANK YOU BONO!

So, I'm not the first to talk about this but I'm pretty sure its about the most commendable thing I've heard in a long time.

Companies like Apple, Converse, The Gap and Armani are helping the AIDS problem in Africa by donating a portion of procedes to the dilemma in Africa.

Please vist JOIN RED to help!

BIG NEWS!

Got something big brewing guys. STAY TUNED!!!

New Music.

Some new stuff came out this week that is pretty noteworthy.

First off, the new These Arms Are Snakes record - great stuff. I think its their darkest and most dynamic record to date. Definitely their best release. Chris Common (drums) recorded the whole thing and his engineering and mixing abilities are great. I love when bands are self sufficient. Artwork kind of ruins it for me though. Not my favorite thing in the world. Its a pretty dark record and the record is everything but that. Good record though. "Subtle Body" is a noteworthy track for sure. Check it out on iTunes.

Secondly, the new and best Blood Brothers record yet, "Young Machetes", is out. My gosh, great record. Guy Picciotto (Blonde Redhead, etc) of Fugazi co-produced and that really shines through on the release. So much dynamic. Amazing artwork. Just go pick it up. Its their most mature release yet.

Lost...umm what?

Watched the LOST season premiere last night. Umm...what is going on!? I have seen the first two seasons and I love the show...understand all the details, but even I am LOST (hahaha). The polar bear cages, shark tanks...WHAT! I know about the polar bears and I know about the shark with the Dharma tattoo...but still...WHAT?!?!?! It is probably my favorite show on television - other than The Office. I really can't wait till next week's episode.

Gotta find out whats going on with the Others and everything...it's pretty wild. Seeing the plane crash in the beginning. Wow. If I saw something like that, I would be scarred! I wonder whats going to happen in the next two weeks according to the "leader" of The Others. He told Kate that they would be unpleasant. Wonder what that means.

Also, tonight...The Office - HILARIOUS! Dwight turns on Michael! Michael outsmarts Dwight! Makes him wear a sign that says liar! haha. And I don't think Jim cares about Pam anymore and I think a new girl likes Jim! Check 'em all out on iTunes.

New Beck Record!

Picked up the new Beck record. First of all, kudos to Big Active on the art direction...my GOSH!...genius.

It comes blank...like a piece of graph paper and a sleeve covered in stickers. Its up to you to design the cover. Great stuff.


Just go get it! Its a great record. Great all around!
