Get, Got, Done.

School of Seven Bells

Dreamy dopeness from two hot twins and the dude who quit the Secret Machines. I won tickets to see them on Saturday with M83 (whom you should check out as well). Two for two! BOOYAH!

Lykke Li

Pop gems from a dreamy Swedish chick. She is the same age as me. She covers Tribe. One time, Q-Tip covered Tribe with her. Is that still a cover song? Search it out at mtv.com. She'll be here in February. Don't sleep.

Manchester Orchestra

This band rules. Hard. Listen. Those aren't the best jams really. They just put out a new EP called Let My Pride Be Whats Left Behind. If I had any money at all, I'd buy it. I like the way that dude writes songs. Simple guitar lines, great lyrics, heavy in all the right places. Sound familiar...? Did I just give myself away?

The show on Saturday ruled oh so much. Thanks to all who came. Wouldn't have been the same without you. Peep the official site for more on that. I'm pretty sure that almost everyone on my short list of favoritepeopleintheworld was there. There were a few glaring ommissions. But when duty calls...

Oh and hey... look at this guy. We did it! Get hyped. He's got a lot of work ahead of him, but I feel good about it.


One more thing too. Get hyped for this. January 9th at the Uptown Theater. Damn it looks good.

Dear Agent Damiano,

Your secret is out. I'm on to you. I know you are a secret agent. Yes, a spy. Don't worry though, your secret is safe with me and the whole internet. You are probably on a secret mission right now trying to defeat the crazy russian overlord Viktor Vanderslause, who as we all suspect, has stolen the all important Ferman microchip. For those of you who don't know, this microchip holds a portion of the United States most valuable secrets. It is imparitive that we retrieve this object, for if it falls into the wrong hands, the world as we know would cease to function. And you thought things were bad now. So really, I just want to say thanks. Thank you for defending our country so valiantly. I didn't fall for that wedding rouse you put on either. I know you were in Australia fighting rabid kangaroos.

But while I appreciate all of this, it'd be great to hear from you. Let's drink some beers. Because it has become increasingly difficult to get ahold of you, I would like to invite you on a mission of my own.

On December 19th, Bon Iver is performing in Madison, Wisconsin. Your mission is as follows: Pile into a 4 door sedan sometime during the afternoon of the 19th.
Drive through Minnesota to Madison.
Attend said concert.
Have a blast, and buy that dudes new ep.
Drive back the same evening.
There is a big party the next day. Something about underwear. Go to that too.

Should you choose to accept this mission, I can assure you, the level of entertainment will be extremely high

I hope to recieve a response transmission soon. God speed my friend. God speed.

And for those of you who need further proof that what I say is true, here is a classified photo of Double 0 Damiano after recently taking down the Cuban druglord Castor's headquarters:


p.s. No Homo.

This Saturday

As most of you probably know, I play in a band called Shoreline. I invite all of you to come join us in the celebration of our debut E.P. "The Noise We Make" this Saturday at the Nomad World Pub. This show is the culmination of a ton of effort put forth not only by myself and my band mates, but also by some very amazing friends of ours who have made all of this possible. Thank you. You know who you are.

Once Again... The Man

So the update goes like this: The record FUCKING RULES! There is a limited edition vinyl package that comes out tomorrow. I'm on that shit, hard. Seriously can not wait. It makes me really happy when bands that have put out really good records keep putting out really good records. Nahmean? For example, this dude, TV on the Radio, Kings of Leon, etc... Too many bands burn out too fast these days and its good to see some who are not only being consistent, but expanding their sound as well. Listen to Cardinology. Trust me, it rules. Geek out complete.
