Since I work as a music director at a college radio station, I have the illest jamz being shoved down my throat all the time. This gives my the grand opportunity of ripping mass quantities of music and hoarding them on my iPod. I think since my Backstreet Boys phase, I've only purchased four real albums. In the last ten years I've bought the latest release from Pterodactyl called World Wide and a 12" of Blackout Summer from Christmas Island and I think I bought the first album from the So So Glos. And before that, I think I actually bought the first Britney Spears LP, an album or two of Backstreet Boys, and an N'SYNC album. That's kind of shitty of me. I really need to buy more jamz. Somehow I own more physical albums than I've actually purchased. That also comes with being a music director. Free things are awesome. I will buy your music next time I see you.

Last night I saw one of my favorite bands from the west coast, Christmas Island. They're a good looking group of folks and they sounded wonderful, but maybe they could improve their stage presence a bit. Blackout Summer is still one of my favorite albums, ever. The only band that really impressed me was Beach Fossils. I think Beach Fossils and the Beets are two bands that I've seen too many times and never actually payed attention to them. Usually I wander around or stare at the ceiling towards the back of the venue. It was only a month ago that I decided that I truly like the Beets and I've always thought Beach Fossils were decent, but they needed to use less reverb. Reverb toxicity? System of a Down? Irrelevant? Yes. Anyway, Beach Fossils really really impressed me and they've gotten so incredibly good over the last year or so. They really are so fucking good. Anyway, enough of my ranting, just watch the videos and make your own juicy opinion because in the end, that's the only thing that is valid. Holla back.

PS. I want to make sweet love to the Beets.

So I've had a very long weekend in Brooklyn. First there was NYE at Shea Stadium, which was probably one of funnest nights of my life while simultaneously being the absolute shittiest. For some reason, I'm not particularly fond of large masses of hipsters. Anyway, Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt was the best dance party of 2010 or 2009? and the "Dead Virgins" made my entire life better, mainly because I couldn't attend their very exclusive 21+ NYE party. Boo. Blastoids were rad and Several Colors, or something along those lines, were very strange, dark, and sarcastic, yet very interesting and appealing. And as I left this wonderful party in the middle-of-no-where-land, Blissed Out played a set on the roof that really made Meadow Street quite an eerie place to be at 7:30 AM. And of course, there were pancakes. In the video clip you can hear the Blissed Out noise and the deejay playing that "New York" jam and of course, the Blastoids bus is camped outside.



Anyway, on Saturday I found myself at Death By Audio drooling and sneezing on myself in a dark corner while listening to wonderful and magical jamz of Many Mansions. I really love Many Mansions. I didn't so much before, or at least when I saw them at Hill Stock. I thought they had a cool sound going, but I definitely wasn't as into it as I am now. So this band opened the night called Mattress or Quilt or Quilt the Mattress or vice versa. They played one song and I hated it, but then they went on playing more songs and all and it started to grow on me. Definitely check out Mattress Quilt or Quilted Mattress. Fun jamz. And then last but not least, there was Truman Peyote, a lot different than I've ever seen them. They played some of their new jamz from their upcoming split with label buddies, Many Mansions, to be released on WhiteHaus Family Records! Get it! Being a music director at a college radio station supplies me with endless free amazing jamz, but I'm definitely going to dish out the bucks for what will probably be one of my favorite 2010 releases. Anyway Truman Peyote were missing the little dude, but they still kicked ass and I would still place them in my favorite live bands, evah. If you haven't seen them, goooooooo now. AND BUY THAT SPLIT!
