We went to see Trail of Dead at Dantes last night at it was really cool to see them at such a small club. The opening band was so awful in there mix of one chord blue cheer and Jesus Lizard but it made even more thankful when Trail of Dead came on. I always like rock shows that are just on the edge of falling apart and this was perfect for me.

They a nice mix of new and old songs and the dueling drummers is a sight to see.

Two drummers, three guitars at times and at 1 hour 45 minutes,  it was great rock n roll to be had. If you get the chance, and want to see a rock show where your head might actually come off your shoulders, go and see them

We just got a sweet new 3 LP album of Iron and Wine’s “Around the Well“. What a great deal. 3 nice grade LPs with access to the MP3s as well. I think Alanna is part of the new “Send us all your most Bitchin Records” deal over at Subpop.

Bloc Party will release ‘Intimacy Remixed’ on the 11th of May, and to mark the occasion, the band have made parts for three of the album’s tracks available for you to remix if you want to. If you dig the band, and get into remixing original tracks, get on over to their site and get a download before their server crashes.
