Federico Aubelle This may come as a shocker, but his live show was better than the actual CD. The Spanish dub sounded better live because you could feel the passion from everybody on stage. Not that many people on hand, but the few that made it to the park @ 12:30 would be rewarded. It’s…

Austin City Limits Day 2 Schedule I plan on weening myself off the sauce today and try to get more H20, and yes I’m a pansy. I’m paying dearly for my mistakes right now and I need to rally. On a brighter note, looks like we’ll be eating lunch NOT at the festival where beers…
Gomez-The Eight Year Wait I have waited to see them for eight years. I have liked them since I graduated from high school and can only say that I dreamt about seeing these guys. I often wondered what they would open up with on any given night. Totally well worth the wait. I can’t believe…
Okkervil River Gnarls Barkley Thievery Corporation This is where it got tricky. I had to split 1 hr 30 mins between 3 different bands and 3 different stages. This is the first of a couple of train wrecks that I will and had to endure. I think I handled it quite well. Gnarls Barkley was…
Stars-Who knew this litte pint sized Canadian would be such a shit talker. He wished harm upon the Leader of the Free World in his “home” state. That’s balls. He turned around and said to give a kiss to your enemy’s neck and give a good squeeze on the knee. The crowd was way into…
Wolf Parade-I had just seen these guys 2 weeks ago, but this time around, things were a bit different. I didn’t feel like I was going to pass out. Not even with the Saharan like temperatures and not all the dust in the air would they taint my day to finally see these guys. They…
Austin City Limits Day 1 Ted Leo & the Pharmacists-Ted Leo was in surpringly good spirits despite the oven like weather that we all had to endure. His shirt looked as if he just threw on a shirt after getting directly out of the shower. The music was solid. This is the second time I’ve…
Austin City Limits Day 1 Quick Recap Today has been the longest day in a really long time. The heaat was unbearable and I spent close to $50 on pure water and beer. Oyyyy….totally worth it, I feel parched, my allergies are killing me…and I have been on my feet for eight hours. I have…
Austin City Limits Day 1 Band not to miss #1 Explosions in the Sky – (writers note:This concludes the list of bands not to miss at ACL this year. I intentionally left all the headliners because it’s just a given that I’m sure I’ll catch them soon enough, or may just stumble upon their stage…
Tokyo Police Club last night @ Emo’s Tokyo Police Club-The marathon has begun and the race is not to the swift. I didn’t realize that they were going to be so young, so young in fact that I saw one of them with an X on their hand signifying that he was underage. They were…
