I just wanted to say thanks to Elevado, This Piano Plays Itself, Eric Guenther and Ben Wetzelberger of From Exile, and Missile Command for playing our One Year Anniversary party last weekend and thanks to all of you for coming out. It was truly an epic event. Here’s some pics from the night:
Missile Command:
Elevado:
This Piano Plays Itself:
Biggie C video taped almost all of the sets, so expect videos posted soon. Just an extra note, in all of the madness of the DJ Douschebag set, I spilled beer on my laptop, so until I get a new one in a couple of weeks, I’m borrowing computers to blog, so I will be limited a tad bit in my posting.
Tomorrow night you can catch Missile Command at The Earl:
Portishead’s new album, Third, is out in April.
Stars will be in Athens, Ga at the Georgia Theater on March 22nd, but is skipping Atlanta.

Passion Of Weiss had this Chris Rock video up today and I remembered how much I loved it when it came out back in the day:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are working on a new album.

Three interesting shows this week i didn’t mention earlier are:
I can’t decide which Saturday night show to hit up after Joanna Newsom, so I’ll probably coin flip or something. With the Thursday night show, I guess I’m going to offer the dissenting opinion relative to all the other blogs in town that I would recommend going to Smashing Pumpkins and Explosions in The Sky over the free Star Bar thing. I know Black Kids are somewhat local and blowing up thanks to the ‘fork, but I’ve listened to that EP a few times and it just doesn’t stand out to me that much. It’s not bad or anything, but it sounds like a dancier ripoff of the whole Swan Lake spectrum of indie-rock and its just not exciting me that much relative to all the other stuff I’ve been listening to lately. Also, I caught Judi Chicago last month, and as much as I hate ripping on locals, I have to call it like it is, and I think they just pretty much suck. Just because you perform crappy music in your underwear doesn’t make up for the crappy music you are performing. I mean, the show is free so it’s probably worth going if you don’t have the cash for the other show, but I just wanted to get my opinion out there.
Now I’ll cool off the haterade and give you a nice PJ Harvey vid:
Back to the haterade, Band of Horses are doing 3 New Years shows at the Earl and tickets go on sale Friday. BOH, or “Fisher Price, My First My Morning Jacket” as I like to call them, are another band that I think receive a little too much praise relative to what every other band on Earth is doing right now. Cease To Begin isn’t a bad album or anything, but it’s not a great one either.
Someone who is worthy of the hype is coming to Eyedrum in January:
The onslaught of My Bloody Valentine reunion rumors continue.
Want to see what Dethklok look and sound like live? Here you go:
Here’s a The Octopus Project vid:
In case you had forgotten how awesome Marnie Stern is or you are a new ohmpark reader, here’s a vid:
Between The Buried And Me are an awesome metal band that i’ve recently been jamming alot:
In case you don’t know, Radiohead did some crazy webcast stuff last week. I’ve got a huge-ass article planned as i haven’t really talked about the new album much and i’m still listening to it like crazy. Until i get a chance to go on an In Rainbows lovefest, here’s my favourite song from it done live on the webcast:
