Love of Diagrams Sign to MatadorAustralian New Wavers sign to Matador. After further review, the chick singer sounds a lot like that old 80’s song that goes, “I know what boyz like, nya, nya, nya…” They sound awesome, right up the alley of Love is All.

Yo La Tengo Tour & Kick Your Ass YES! Yo La Tengo will be coming to Boulder in support of their new album , “I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass.” I have never seen them. I had free tickets last year, and the dumb ass that I am, skipped…

Russian Circles/Velvet Teen/Minus the Bear (Menos El Oso) Tour I can’t believed these guys are playing Albq. and skipping Denver. There is no justice but, oh well. Instrumental prodigies Russian Circles will be touring with Velvet Teen and Minus the Bear. Did I mention that we get no Colorado love on this tour. Russian Circles-Horse…

Junior Boyz @ Hi Dive 09/20/06 Yeah suckas, they deserve the “z” instead of the “s.” I don’t know what I was really expecting from da Boyz last night, and no, I am not referring to Dem’ Franchise Boyz. Maybe a longer set for starters. They only played for 45 minutes. I was expecting a…

Junior Boys Tonight @ HI-Dive Wow, the buzz around this duo is overwhelming. I can’t understand. I feel that their last album “Last Exit” was better than their new album IMHO, but still good, nonetheless. Very generous on the synthy side and very luscious on the vocal side. You can catch them tonight @ HI-Dive….

Everything Absent or Distorted @ Larimer Lounge 09/19/06 I made it. I did the impossible and unthinkable. I was able to rally hard enough from my early red eye flight in the morning to Denver, to working all day, and getting beat in the last minute of Madden ’07 by a flippin field goal. What…

Back on the saddle again… So I finally got back to Denver this morning. Things are a little hectic ’round these parts. I got to my office and had over 59 items past due on Outlook, urghh….. I spent my off day in Austin yesterday catching up on some items that I was not able…

Tom Petty The festivities ended with Mr. Petty. I missed Muse to make my way to the kind of the front of the stage. It was hard, but I did hold my ground. It was too bad that he was only able to play for 30 mins. And then the rain started. The deluge of…

The Flaming Lips Easily, one of the better performances of the festival. Their stage looked like Halloween/Christmas all mixed into one. All the expected shanigans went on as expected. The stage antics were very well accepted, despite the level of predictability. Wayne Coyne has quite the stage persona, and I can chalk up my first…

Austin City Limits Day 3 My ability to keep up with the festival as time progressed was dismal. I was very tired by Sunday morning and I think it’s because I’m getting older. I got a late start and ate some Chinese for lunch catching up with friends. Due to the late start, I don’t…
