THEFT LIABLE TO PROSECUTION

Done Waiting SXSW

We're only several weeks away from SXSW 2012.  I have a new pad to crash at and will be spending time at Yard Dog Gallery for both the Schuba's & Bloodshot Records day parties.  Another thing is for sure, I'll be checking for regular updates at Done Waiting SXSW for more day shows, free night shows, etc.  You should too!

New Sharon Van Etten

Hey, you can stream the new album at NPR.  

New Nada Surf Video

I have to say the new stuff is growing on me.  Here the video for When I Was Young.

Lydia Loveless via Ardent Music

Here's a great Lydia Loveless post via Ardent Music.  Can't wait to see her (at least once) down in Austin this March!  And I do highly recommend her album, not a bad song on there.

Kid A

I think I'm finally going to make one of these Kid A show tonight.  Chicago's own Radiohead cover band, with Nirvana cover band opening.  It all takes place at the Abbey Pub Friday January 27.  Tonight it's In Rainbows plus some other "hits".

KEXP

I've been listening to a few internet radio stations lately.  My vote for the best goes to KEXP.  I love the variety, bunches of 80's new wave, reggae & world, and today's cutting edge. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Shakes on KCRW

I tuned into a few KCRW shows today and one of them featured Alabama Shakes.  A good way to get to know the band and most of the songs they've been playing in their live shows.

SXSW + Bloodshot

As they say, things are shaping up for both the official showcase and Yard Dog party.  Really people, not to be missed!  Can't wait to hear a few songs from Lydia Loveless!

Cloud Nothings

I'd say the hottest new album this week is by Cloud Nothings.  Stereogum has some songs and you can check out the label Carpark Records for some other cool stuff including Class Actress, Dan Deacon, Toro y Moi and more. Cloud Nothings play April 6 at Schubas.

How did this happen?

I'm always amazed by the crappy music that folks will listen to and buy.  Here's a list of 14 Albums that surprisingly went platinum.  Seriously (for all of them)?
