Thu 18 Oct – M.I.A.

I haven't posted a log on here for quite some time, but I felt I should retain some sort of cyber record for this event, so the following is essentially an edited multi-forum post.

First & foremost: this will always go down as the night that I grabbed Maya Arulpragasam's ass.

No, this wasn't because I was amongst the great unwashes masses that stormed the stage during "Bird Flu". I didn't go up onstage at all (I could barely move my leg at that point, due to a fractured ankle sustained days before…I would have…

Well, it's finally here.

Girls Aloud& Sugababes…perfect together! Sugar rush!

I can't wait!

For the first time ever, my Top 50 is a true/truer representation of my actual tastes. My Top 100 is even more interesting. As you can see my tastes are very diverse, and they will continue to get even weirder, as I am really plunging deep into the worlds of no wave, frat rock, and female post-punk. The only new band that really excites me at the moment is The Horrors.
They are a fucking awesome surf/psychobilly/garage death punk act(seriously! it all applies) & I use the term "death" because their shows are reminiscent of the…

I started a blog. I can't believe it.

I dedicated my first post to Kasabian:

Get some songs from Empire here:

Right now, I'm digging Lady Sovereign's new track, which I found by accident on PF last night. I don't think many people have access to it yet, because I don't see it popping up on any of the major sources, so here you go:
DOWNLOAD : LADY SOVEREIGN - LOVE ME OR HATE ME

Since I made so many new friends & enemies in my last post, I figured, well…I might as well also post this livejournal entry on last.fm so my cyber stock can continue to skyrocket. hahaha.

Anyway.

What's with SPIN's makeover? It fucking sucks!
Beyonce is on the cover?

EDIT: Oh God, I just found out so much shit regarding SPIN.
I'll have to update another time about it. Let's just say: things don't look good.

For all my "indie rock" leanings,
I've found myself vaguely nostalgic for mainstream 90's rock circa 1994, this encompassing both sides of the…

In light of the recent polarization of the "indie" community in regards to their feelings on Pitchfork, I thought I'd say a few things. It's 2am, no one will read this, and I shouldn't really even bother thinking about anything other than the fact that Trent Reznor's sweat will be dripping on me 18 hours from now, yet here I go.

Okay.
I'm not sure where I really fall in the realm of left-field musical tastes. Some of my favorite groups are actually on the Billboard charts & PLAY ARENAS. Some of them don't even have 500 listeners on…

I'm a big Radiohead fan, so obviously my anticipation for Thom's "solo project" was great and is now reaching new crescendos.

These electronic soul soundscapes that have leaked in the past 2 days reside vaguely in the terrain of recent Radiohead, yet you would not mistake these tracks for the band; the only similarity really is Thom's unmistakable vocals & the synthesized orchestratation. A near playfulness exists on these tracks - you get the sense that Thom had a lot of fun fucking with these arrangements & that self-indulgence truly was the presiding principle at hand here. Of course, this…

I'm fucking serious.

I almost had an orgasm hearing it.

Let's just say our favorite electro-proggers, Muse, have entered the turbulent world of electroclash. Fear not.

The result is the aural equivalent of triple penetration uber-fucking, as the Onion would say.
