voxtrot broke up and yazoo retweeted me
BAH! Voxtrot broke up. Short lived but with some GREAT tunes that I quite enjoy rocking out to often. These guys from Austin made some indie-pop gems, but I guess that's all we got. I know all my ferocious readers are wildly disappointed and will probably use this as an opportunity to drink themselves into a coma, but please refrain. Other delicious bands will come your way soon.
This song, if I didn't have 3 or 4 versions of it, would be one of my top 10 most played songs on Itunes. It's invasively catchy and it will take over your soul. I promise.
Voxtrot- The Start Of Something
Voxtrot- Raised By Wolves
on another note, my favorite place in the world, yazoo brewery, has been retweeting me whenever i talk about them. is that super super sad? most likely. SORRY I'M NOT SORRY! until next time.

i may have missed coachella...
but, if i had gone, i probably would have ended up like this guy:
i nearly cried this was so funny. thank you, wyatt. in other news, i've been doing a bunch
of phone interviews over the past few days with bands, so keep a look out on here and
Ear It Now. I've talked to The Poison Control Center, Pet Lions, and The Literary
Greats. What I'll probably end up doing is putting some of the less "informative" interview
stuff up here and put the full articles on Ear It Now. also. thank you to grimey's, the worlds
greatest record store, where i left my keys on saturday after enjoying record store day more
than the average person.
Oh my goddddd, I'm like, ten years late and saying what everyone else on every blog has been
saying, but, like, oh my goddddd that new Dr. Dog album is so yummy! I'm so indie and cool!
best lyric? I JUST CAN'T SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR YOU.
this album is a straight-through listen of deliciousness. i hope there are no wedding rings in
this band.
Dr. Dog: Later
oh, and for all you nashville folks, make sure you get to rites of spring this weekend. phoenix,
passion pit, cold war kids, ben harper, DRAKE!!!!!!, etc... so, let's watch the ungodly good
phoenix blogotheque sesh. quote from caitlin stubner, "thank god that guy is the lead singer of
phoenix or he would have never gotten laid." definitely a fair statement.

jack white creeps the shit out of me. but i love him. and brendan benson.
so tomorrow is record store day, which may or may not be a thing completely fabricated by desperate store owners (think: high fidelity) to get people to show up to their businesses on a day they would normally be at the bar. regardless, all the cool kids release limited edition vinyls/singles/albums/etc. and some pretty sweet record stores have all day event situations. aka: grimey's. Grimey's will have American Bang, YAZOOOOOOOOOO, and all kinds of other stuff going on. Food too.
And, just a little bit further downtown, The RaconTWOers will be playing a gig @ third man records. I am pretty sure it will just be Brendan Benson and Patrick Keeler, but its still cool enough for me. AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE POPSICLES! They're also promising to be joined by "some friends." HMMM. (But, don't get too excited--Jack White is playing Coachella w/ the dead weather right now) Man. Still, when Ms. Stubner and I saw Jack White walking down the street a while ago, we almost killed a few people trying to swerve into a parking spot so we could chase after him. Reason # 09328402398 why I love Nashville: The Raconteurs randomly decide to put on a free show and sometimes Jack White is just stumbling down the street. And, this video is the essence of why he creeps me out. Great song, though.

can we get a f-ing blog update?
god. these assholes who start blogs and then never update them. they think they're so cool and trendy and enlightening us with all this super obscure music we haven't heard yet. bleh.
i've been sickly and state-test-preparation consumed over the past few days, and i've been adulterously contributing to a chicago blog Ear It Now, but i'm back now. i know hundreds of thousands of you have been wandering around confused and lost without this blog.
A couple of things:
1. There are approximately 30 days of school left. it's more exciting than summer when i was in high school.
2. Pearl Jam is touring with Band of Horses this summer. How fantastic is that? Which means....new Band of Horses album aka a track from it. (See tour dates at the bottom and if you live in a city where they are coming --aka not nashville-- and feel the need to purchase me a ticket, I completely understand)
From what I can hear, his howling voice isn't quite as prominent, which disappoints me a little bit; it's more subtle in a way. bleh. (At least on the sample track "Laredo") BUT, i love band of horses, and I would doubt this album, Infinite Arms, is a disappointment.
And, for good measure:
TOURRRRR DATESSSSSS (band of horses doesn't join pearl jam until the kansas city date, FYI)
