Back Up, Motherfucker!!!
Damn it's been a long time. Working leaves me with so little time to tend to my little blog, but here I am again.
Loads of new stuff to pay attention to will be making its way here over the next week or so. Check back.
You will not be disappointed. For you folks living in the USA, if you want to hit some great TV, check out
the great UK television torrent site, UKNova. It is legal, really. They have a deal with the UK channels in that
they will not post commercially available programs, ie. soon to be released on DVD, within 30 days of its
commercial release. Tons of incredible programming. Documentaries, comedy, drama, euro sport, etc...
Here is the caveat: UKNova is a community, so you will have to share or at least share your bandwidth.
If you are familiar with torrents, you know what to do.
Now to kick things off, here is what I have been checkin':
The Alarm-"Under Attack" (EMI)
Mission of Burma-"The Obliterati" (Matador)
All Tomorrow's Party-"Yoo Doo Right, Yoo Doo Slide" (Alive)
Cold Feet-BBC TV Series One-Five
Hotel Babylon-BBC Television
Peep Show-BBC Television Series
The IT Crowd-Channel 4 UK Comedy
The Futureheads-"News and Tributes" (Vagrant)
Snow Patrol-"Eyes Open" (A & M)
The Slackers-"Peculiar" (Hellcat)
Neil Young-"Living With War" (Reprise)
¡Forward, Russia!-"Give Me A Wall" (Dance To The Radio)
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan-"Ballad of Broken Seas" (V2)
Vital Signs-ITV Television Series
Feist-"Let It Die" (Arts and Crafts)
Broken Social Scene-"Broken Social Scene" (Arts and Crafts)
Pela-"All In Time" (Brassland)
So much more on the horizon. This has been an awesome year for music, with the Brits, Canadians,
and right here in NYC, tons of incredible music. NYC will see a flood of great shows this summer
with Belle and Sebastian playing free on July 4th, Broken Social Scene in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
Stiff Little Fingers @ Irving Plaza, Buzzcocks @ Irving Plaza, A Silver Mt. Zion @ The Bowery Ballroom,
¡Forward, Russia! @ The Mercury Lounge, Futureheads @ Webster Hall, etc...
I am going to go broke this summer, but I will be happily humming great tunes.
