Woot man. got to see The Twilight Singers last night. Of course, it was a fucking awesome show. It always shows you how good a band truly is, when you can see them for 5 years straight and STILL be blown away by the music. Greg Dulli is by far one of the most versatile and talented musician/singer/songwriters I've ever known. Last night's show including...

This was originally a post to my bud shadyvito but it seemed worthy enough of a full Update in the old Blog-o-sphere.
What's been in my current rotation as of late has been the newer tunes I've picked up. Alot since I got back from SxSW. It seems that Punk'nRoll has really been pushed to the forefront of my music listening experience as of late....

talk about a list 
OK...I've been busy as shit, or so it seems. Work has been non-stop (not a bad thing, actually) making the week go by fast. On my last few days off, I've spent it cleaning house, listening to music, and taking care of my Mother's two houses. I also made a side trip yesterday to get my hair cut and visit my Grandparents' gravesite.

I need one really great, knock my socks off, suggestion of a band that I should check out. I want your absolute best suggestion.
shadyvito:
As far as my favorites go there are a few alblums that I listen to the most:
Eryka Badu Live
The Casulties newest
all of Sublime's
Flogging Molly Drunkin Lullibies
Diana Washington with Duke Ellington
Violent Femmes self titled alblum
all of Clutch's alblums
all of DRI's
Slayer South of Heaven
and anything by Louis Prima and Keely Smith (I saw her in Vegas like 10years ago and she sounded as good as she did in the fifties)
These are my goto alblums that I listen to on a regular basis. As you can see, I like everything. So tell me your absolute favorite.

Wow....I've never been so bored with SG in the two years that I've been a member. Conversely, I've been seriously active with MySpace. For about a year and a half, I really didnt do squat there. I maybe met one or two people, but never really got into the 'finding friends' bullshit. However, I've gotten into the music aspect of it...finding bands, labels, and...

I'm only on myspace because one of my best friends doesn't have access to a phone anymore, but she has Myspace and internet at her job and at home. Other then that, I can't really be bothered by it.
And I'm so glad I started getting into Johnny Cash a few years ago. All with a chance purchade of his "16 Biggest Hits". It was a cheap and poorly packaged compilation, but I fell in love with the man.

akirali:
Thanks for the offer, but I really want to buy all the Cash stuff I own. Although your opinion on what to get next would be greatly appreciated. In addition to the above mentioned compilation, I also have American IV, and Unearthed. I know I need bot of the live prison albums, but what would you suggest after those?
I just came from the RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS shot at the NorthStar. It was fucking AWESOME. If you didnt go, you're fucking stupid. Just figured that I'd share.
shadyvito:
Did you at one time mention a band call The Kings of Nuthin? I can't remember where I heard their name before. I just watched a video of them playing at Skatetopia and they sound pretty good.
Here's the clip

Thanks for the b-day wishes. 
Did you enjoy Rock'n'Rods?
Did you enjoy Rock'n'Rods? Yeah...Im a douchebag. It's taken me a month to sit down and organize my SXSW stuff. Actually, what I did was complete a comprehensive journal of my trip to Austin last month. Then I realized that no one would really give a flying crap about that except me. So, i've opted to just go ahead and just compile a list of the acts that I...

Vona Iva!!!!! That's my last name!!!!!!!

I'm still pissed that I missed Flogging Molly. It was sold out by the time I found out about it.
Got to catch the HorrorPops at the Troc last night. Great show, for the most part. The 'clap or we wont play' scenario got a little old, but I got over it.
On another note, Im thinking that my time here on SG is coming to a close. It just seems that I dont really 'DO' anything with this anymore...I barely look at the new...

I have the same feelings all the time about this site. Its been nice and all, but its just not what it used to be and I barely have time for it.
Well...I'll still see your dumb ass either way.

I'm such a lazy fucking asshole. Not only do a waste most of the day, but I completely forgot about a gig that interested me. Morningwood is playing right now at the Trocadero. Yeah, it's on my last. yeah, I wasnt to go see them play. Yeah, Im fucking stupid. I havent showered or anything, and it would take me about 30 minutes just to...

OK...still working on my SXSW review. Im fucking lame, I know. In the meantime, I've seen a couple of shows here in Philly (and had a few pre-show drinks with Mr.Seaniefresh).
Wed: Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I've waited a couple of years to see them play. And to be honest, I wasnt impressed. Karen seemed like a lot of fun. She was enjoying...

Sooo...I just got back into town from my escapade in Austin and Dallas. SXSW was a goddamn blast...and dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. I saw about 10+ bands a day, starting at 1pm and ending around 2am. I'm in the process of compiling my list of bands, my reviews, and my pics. Ill more on later in the week.

I'm so goddamn pissed at MYSELF. I set my alarm to get up early today for one of the last days I'll have to snowboard. You know what? I didnt bother to TURN ON THE ALARM. That's right...i woke up at 11am. Nice. So, I decide to try and get up to the poconos regardless. A few hours of boarding is better than none. So,...

Wow....I actually missed the Sisters of Mercy tonight. I was tired as hell from snowboarding all day. However, I was supposed to go yesterday just so I wouldnt fall into this pre-conceived trap. I couldnt get up yesterday, and I barely got up today. But I HAD to go snowboarding. Just the feeling of getting out of my house for one day and live a...

I'm hoping I'm not getting removed from your friends list. Because, yeah, we don't get to chit chat that often, but I do consider your big dumb ass a good friend.
Saw the Helacopters and Nebula last night. Holy shit was that placed packed! It was one of those times that the Khyber WAY oversold the show so we were packed in like sardines. So most of the show was done hiding upstairs, which means we unfortunately missed Nebula, but the Helacopters were tight so that made up for it.

I enjoyed the flower show.. it was better than last year's, but my mom and I still managed to critique most of the displays. But most of the comments I heard were enthusiastic. My problem is that I work in the industry - so I have an idea of what I'm looking for, and am disappointed when they do the same old thing.
Who knows, maybe something will come up and I'll be able to fall down the slopes this year. Or my board and boots will maintain their virginity till next year.

I'm sorry.
Even thought the naked drummer was a bit scary.
