Hold Steady...it's coming.

So, last night I saw what can only be described as the absolute best rock show I've ever seen....yes, that's a bold statement, but it was nothing less than a religious experience. I'll have an official review once my head is screwed back on tight. Fuck it was awesome. I also saw that it was being taped from the audience, so as soon as I find that show, I'll post it here.

Yes, you were fucking kidding me....damnit!

So I received an email from my painter friend Donald concerning the line up for this years ACL Festival and to say that I was excited....well....take a look at the poster. WOW! All my favorite acts and many others that I was super stoked to check out.

Well, as it turns out it was a FAKE!!! My buddy Trevor clued me in. Check out the link below for more info.

The Good Life

Justin Townes Earle's "The Good Life" was released today. If you visit Waterloo Records, you can purchase the new album and get his EP "Yuma" for free. I'd take advantage of that deal. Great artist, and after tiring of his daddy's stuff lately, this is a breath of fresh air.

Uncle Tupelo Finally Reunites!!!!!!!

Wow, I thought this would never happen. I am so going to buy their new record! Check out the link below for more info.....hurry!!

Spurs have won three in a row...

The Champs played Dallas today and overcame a 12 point deficit in the third quarter to beat the Mavs. I love seeing Mark "I'm a huge fuck-tard" Cuban look pitiful. He was certainly sweating when the big German and huge fan of "The Hoff", Dirk Nowitzki went down with an injury after colliding with Tim in what was a very physical game. Manu had 26 points and was perfect at the line. The Spurs need to keep up the momentum going into the playoffs....it should be another great run to the Championship. Go Spurs.

Monahans

One of my favorite local bands, Milton Mapes, has gone on to do a side project under the name Monahans. Although I prefer their Milton Mapes incarnation more thus far, this song is pretty good. I need to really give this band a liston as their first record, "Low Pining" got some pretty good press. They have recorded their follow up and it should be out some time this year. Take a listen and let me know what you think.
