New Music

[The Baumer]

Looking forward to The National's Boxer in late May and John Vanderslice's new record in August.

I was a huge Meat Puppets fan back in the day.

Good live band. Saw them at Stache's in Columbus and The Union in Athens.

I'll reveal my poser status here...I never even heard of them until Too High To Die, but I went back and got a lot of the other albums from a used shop in town afterwards and like much of what I'd heard.

Sadly, I was too young to ever take in a show at Stache's. Though my band did play in its successor, Little Brothers, on a few occasions.

Up on the sun
Where it never rains or snows
There's an ocean
With a wind that never blows
And if you see it closer
Then the finer points will show
Not to much more
Too much more

I had to chuckle at the new Meat Puppets - had no idea they were still around.

Saw them open up for Cracker at a fall fest at Ohio University in Athens back in the early 90's - $1 canadian beers and a small parking lot full of people, fun times.

Looking forward to the new Interpol and will see them, Spoon, Arcade Fire, Bjork and the Beasties at the Sasquatch Music Fest in Washington State as I mentioned in another thread, next month. Can't wait!

Also a big fan of Broken Social Scene - part of the Canadian invasion along with Metric and Arcade Fire - too bad BSS have taken a hiatus though, what a great, underrated/hyped group along with Metric.

My Festival days are over, I used to live 10 minutes from Shoreline and used to ride my bike to Lollapalooza, but no more, no more.

That lineup is interesting, I like Spoon a lot.

Giant music events in the desert... the official song for that weekend should be "Chill Out Tent" by The Hold Steady.

Beastie Boys are great live.

I saw them at Madison Square Garden...the crowd alone almost makes the shows.

In the meantime, I am really enjoying National Anthem of Nowhere by Apostle of Hustle, which is a side project by one of the many guitarists in Broken Social Scene. To add to the list of great music from Canada, I like The Dears and the Islands.
