Corndogorama 2008 Friday (Day 2)
After late starts from the Ohmpark crew all around, we raced through thick Atlanta traffic to make it in time to catch Twin Tigers. It was an intense drive across the city that included me lighting my hair on fire with a malfunctioning cigarette lighter, but we were jamming the new Sorry No Ferrari CD I picked up at their show Wednesday night, and it was the perfect soundtrack for the journey. We arrived just in time and I really loved Twin Tigers. They sort of reminded me of Deerhunter a bit. Very nice shoegazey stuff with everyone trading off vocals. Very much a highlight of the day for me.

What The Hell Am I Listening To?!?
Today is all about Post-Rock:
The Graboids (Charlottesville, VA)
Post-rock is an exciting genre right now because it is blowing up, and so many great bands are emerging. The Graboids are one band that is standing out to me. The album Infinite Delay is able to both master conventional post-rock soundscapes and create completely new ones on a beautifully sculpted piece of work. I also love the out of nowhere hip-hop track “Top Of The Network” featuring Jeremiah. Check it out:
Pelican (Chicago, IL)
One interesting conglomeration of genres that’s happening right now is Post-metal. Pelican‘s City of Echoes is one of the best examples of this I’ve heard. It takes the best of both worlds into a brilliant listen. They will be at The Drunken Unicorn Tuesday July 31st so mark it down. Check it out yo:
Fridge (Putney, UK)
As Post-Rock becomes more mainstream, bands inside the genre will have to step up to the plate and push it in new directions. Fridge‘s new album The Sun is a great demonstration of what is possible when you don’t follow the rules. Give them a listen:
