a quick fix...

here are some new/old mp3s for your perusal, as you'll remember the original format of this blog... new:: Breather (shoegazer-ish, noise pop...again a discovery courtesy of mystery&misery) - all fall away - stay in love - cleopatras dream - drawn - stars (live) - all fall away (migraine mix) John Vanderslice (new album pixel revolt available for pre-ordering thru Barsuk) - exodus damage - trance manual old:: The Get Up Kids (R.I.P... god rest their souls) tguk just broke up and played their last show on 7/2/05 in KC...although i wasn't a huge fan of their newest efforts, i lived, ate , and breathed their first few releases... and the news of the end of their 10-year run gave me a little bit of a lump in my throat, kind of like one of the final nails in the coffin of the mid to late-90s emo/indie scene that gave birth to me. they have realeased a live album which is now available in stores and, if it does truly capture their live performance energy and features some old stuff, it should be one hell of a sing-along treat...here is a taste of them live and some older studio greats: - ten minutes (live) - woodson - red letter day the gloria record ... also now defunct but another band whose members, in one form or another, helped to shape my musical development (this is also a clue pointing toward the revelation, which may also be built up now beyond all expectation). - tired and uninspired - ascension dream (ram) - the immovable motorist (ram) - cinema air (ram)
