Jaws Theme Sam

Alright kids, lets get something straight here. It's:

Jaws Theme Sam

Not Jaws The Me Sam. Or Jaws The Me's AM. Or Ja Wstheme's A.M. That just doesn't make a lick of sense.

So fix you links. jaws theme sam. Out.

Oh ya, While we are on the subject, I'll be playing a selection of covers and originals tomorrow night at The Beat Coffee House in Uptown. It is located on 28th and Hennepin. See ya there.

"You Seem a Little On the High Side"

Imagine if My Bloody Valentine and Bob Dylan made sweet, noisy, thoughtful love. And they didn't wear protection. Cause why would you? You've gotta mix and spread both of those genes around, and they know that. Well anyway, they bone, and 9 months later a baby is born. A beautiful baby named The War on Drugs.

I can't figure out how to get a song to stream right from here, so head over to the hype machine and listen to the War on Drugs. Pretty much ruling right now. I know I really like a band when I wish I was in said band. That's going on right now.

Oh, and that show Californication... too fucking good. Hank Moody is the man.

Voices

Love these dudes. I know I'm far from alone in that, but they still continue to impress me.

#93.3 - BON IVER - For Emma, Forever Ago
by lablogotheque

Completely unpretentious. Just some dudes hyped to explore some really good songs. I read an interview where the artist talked about living in your songs and finding new life in your own songs. I think it was Justin being interviewed, but I can't be sure. This band does just that so well. All of the songs take such different forms in different settings. It is something I have really been applying to my own music lately. Once a song is recorded, it is not the end of the evolution of said song. You can find so much more within it. Things you never even thought about or knew were there in the first place.

A song is never done, per say, and that is far from a bad thing. Just watch above for proof.
And you might never really know everything there is to know about the song either, but it is all about how you apply it to yourself at a certain moment in time.

Strange

I had a dream last night that I got the word FUCK tattooed on my wrist. WTF?
In other news, I hate my job, but i really enjoy most of the rest of my life.
Shoreline at Eclipse Records on Friday. 7 PM.
Stream the new Hold Steady here.
Tegan and Sara at the Target Center was weird. The National at the XCel was not weird.
Stacy is in town for a week. Uh Oh.

Figure it out. Get with it.

Ya!

"...while there may be merit in critical appraisal of music by some kind of yardstick of artistic achievement that balances personal bias with a deep knowledge of a broad range of music and a keen aesthetic sense, such judgments in the absence of emotional crisis are a bit like judging the usefulness of a fire extinguisher without the urgent need for one."

Truth.

I had the pleasure of seeing Death Cab For Cutie last night. They were good good good. Got on a new life plan. Won tickets to see REM on Thursday, along with the National and Modest Mouse. Saw M83 last week. Got free tickets to see Tegan and Sara. The French Open is on. I'm not sure how I feel about Novak. He has a tendency to whine. How strange would it be if Fed won it this year, after losing down under. Not many people will understand that. I'm a full on tennis dork. Laurie will be here this weekend. The record is close to complete. Day of Familia on Friday. I feel weird talking about good things, I feel like it's all too good to be true and talking about it will change it. But the living is heavy these days. Life is good. Let's keep it that way.
