video killed the radio star...

I know my blog has been soo much about music lately. jeez - I wonder if I should start a seperate site about music? hmm... it's a thought. anyway - I'm discovering new radio stations. I think I have really bad reception in my car, and most certainly on my Rio - cuz I've never heard of this local radio station, KUSF until recently. Where have I been? Obviously not listening to much radio with good reception. Go figure.

I discovered another cool station that streams on the internet, too: KXLU

Obviously I need to make a place for info like this, because once again I must remind you of one of the best stations that (fortunately) streams online: KEXP

I'm starting to get into The Walkmen (finally?). I'm sure I'm behind on this great find... are any of you out there big fans? Tell me about em - are they great live?

Well, unfortunately I just missed them play two shows here. I was really close to getting out of my pajamas tonite and heading down to Slims for their show. That'da been pretty hard core of me eh? Instead I'll just get some of their music and hope they're back here in 6 months.

p.s. On their site they have a photo of them "w/ pals, The French Kicks".... nice! (the french kicks are opening for hot, hot heat for those of you not paying attention - they're great!)

Oooh - so check this out! You know hottie (not to mention such a beaaautiful voice) Neko Case? She won as the "Sexiest Babe of Indie Rock"! awww yaaa she is!

I was also delighted to see Rainer Maria's rocker chic, Caithlin De Marrais is up on there, too. Now I really have something to look forward to for this Friday's show! :p On this contest they don't give her the most glowing review for their talent - but if you've been listening to Rainer Maria, you'll hear she's getting a lot better. Their new EP is really excellent!
