Pitchfork.tv just posted a new Stephen Malkmus video for Gardenia that features several cameos: Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk, Brian Bell of Weezer, Gary Jarmin of the Cribs, Steve Turner from Mudhoney, the dudes from Ratatat. Its mostly a yawn, but the sequences that animate the cover art from the LP are kind of [...]
Idolator has a quick piece on the new issue of Stop Smiling that covers a bunch of DC topics, including music; “George Pelecanos and The Wire‘s Anwan Glover (a.k.a. Big G of local go-go heroes the Backyard Band). Pelecanos, of course, was deeply involved in The Wire, but the best bits are [...]
I wanted to mention the show I’m playing this evening in DC at Black Cat with Stamen & Pistils. We’re opening for our good pals The Cassettes and it should be a damn good time.
I’ll let this video speak for itself, but I’m a big fan of work by both Flying Lotus and Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show (Great Job!) Eric Wareheim so this is a fantastic match.

I must take an opportunity to plug the new LP out this week by my good pals The Rosebuds, and also drop a link to my brother’s review in the Durham NC publication Independent Weekly.
My band Metropolitan shared a bill with the Rosebuds for the very first time back in 2001 [...]
I find it pretty amusing that Kanye debuted this video on the Ellen Show of all places but I’ve been digging on the song so much lately that I had to see the visuals. Definitely some interesting things going on here, and not entirely what I would have expected from Mr. West.
“Sarah’s back, and it’s kind of a big deal. This season, she finally lives out her dream as a contestant on Cookie Party, loses Doug after being caught in ‘unlawful human-initiated interspecies relations,’ and continues her on-again, off-again love affair with God. In every episode, Sarah learns something a little new and a little [...]
Ok so I’m not a big sports guy at all unless it deals with DC, and this ESPN cover caught my eye at my local 7-11 the other day. I must say this Ovechkin cat really has quite an interesting look, and he owns a house right across the street from some of my best [...]
I finally got rid of the terrible Movable Type and installed WordPress today – so not only am I posting from my iPhone, I believe this is a new Trigger Cut beginning.
I shall celebrate by posting this photo of a bizarre haunted Harley rider.
