‘Death & the Maiden’

‘Pyromaniac’

So I wanted to tell everyone in person but poor planning, an untimely and costly air conditioning crisis, global recession, and other circumstances in/out of my control have placed me in this awkward position of sheepishly announcing that Natasha is pregnant. Like really pregnant - due on 11/6. Boy or girl is TBD, but I’ve learned my lesson and I promise let you know on the big day. As long as you follow me on Twitter. Feel free to leave name suggestions in comments section, especially boy names.

What’s New in Your Vinyl Collection? Volume II Ryan Bingham: Roadhouse Blues As much as I’ve enjoyed streaming the new Wilco album, seeing the Roadhouse Blues material in a live setting (2nd row in a sold out, sweat-soaked Ft. Worth honky tonk no less) gave Ryan Bingham the edge for this month’s vinyl purchase. Plus I wanted to snag one of the limited 180 gram double lp editions while supplies lasted. In Zach’s words, for some reason I just love those “thick bastards.” Check out a new tune followed by an oldie here

What’s New in Your Vinyl Collection? Vol I
Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

I’ve been a casual Phoenix fan for a few years now, but they never got serious vinyl purchase consideration until they released their newest album ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.’ The fact that it comes with a free digital download (which seems to be the norm nowadays) makes the extra $7-$8 beyond CD/mp3 purchase well worth it. If anything, it’s a good change of pace from all those dusty bargain bin specials that dominate my collection.

The Year of Zach Galifianakis Be on the lookout for a handful of Zach G projects coming out this year, one of which opens this Friday (trailer link below). After a rocky start, his career seems to be picking up steam. Which is a good thing since he’s been contemplating retirement from comedy to become a cab driver in India or Pakistan.

It’s been a while. Seeqpod has been shut down indefinitely, so playlist mixes are on hold. I was planning on putting together a mix of my favorite tunes from the excellent new(ish) film Adventureland, so do yourself a favor and check it out yourself.

On a local music tip, check out this well done music video from Ft. Worth’s own, The Orbans - here

a few Memphis pics up at flickr Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures of the historic Inn at Hunt Phelan, the B&B/restaurant where we had dinner one night. At least stop in for a drink and look around if you get the chance. pic

When Tash told me that her Facebook pals were trading lists of bands they’ve seen, I thought I’d give mine a shot. C+C Music Factory at Six Flags in Arlington was my first show and it’s all down hill from there.
