Just got a ticket to see Black Pumas at The Mohawk in August. Gonna be a hot show! No, it is LITERALLY gonna be a hot show. Late August...outdoors...Texas...there is a chance I will actually melt into a puddle of sweat.
Been a lot of talk about Lou Reed lately, so this felt appropriate. KUTX asked Alejandro Escovedo to curate an hour of Lou's songs for their My KUTX guest DJ segment. This was put together and aired the year that Lou passed. Link in next post.
Time for shower #3 for the day. Jesus...it is like a sauna out there tonight. The kind of muggy heat that gets you even if you are just standing still. Breathtaking, but not in a good way.
Not gonna get a lot of run media wise, but, if you like old school country duets and top notch singer songwriter fare, the new Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison album out tomorrow ("Beautiful Lie") is wonderful.
Spoon greatest hits album is due out in July, and it includes one new track, 'No Bullets Spent'. Looking at the tracklisting, and, this thing looks very slight. Only 13 songs...one of them new. What is there is solid, but a ton of great songs missing.
Every time I see something about the band PUP, my brain reads PULP, and I get very excited that there is news about PULP. I'll have to check PUP out, but I also wouldn't mind hearing something new from Jarvis and/or PULP.
Digging into this debut album from Lola Tried after enjoying the hell out of their set on Saturday opening for Cruiserweight. Just the shot of adrenaline needed on a Monday. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but tons of potential for this group.
Great show featuring local artists tonight. A Cruiserweight reunion show with Lola Tried and Quiet Company as openers. All 3 bands brought it. Wasn't sure what to expect from Cruiserweight as they've been dormant for a while now, but they sounded great.
I love the commercial with the father and daughter going to the Mets game with the Bee Gees' 'To Love Somebody' playing in the background...at least until the Facebook Groups logo pops up at the end. Damn you Zuckerberg!
