Sad. More Sad. Depressing.

by now, if your living in the los angeles area you have heard of the family shooting/suicide in wilmington, CA.


what is more scary than reading the article on aol, are the comments left by the readers.


at the time of this posting 3337 people have responded.

some distraught with their own personal woes.

some blaming bush.

some blaming obama.


its really telling in these words how scared everyone is. and how desperate some may be.


nothing more to say than just scarrrrrrrry.

Finally some show news DoE & The Cave Singers @ The troub

Photobucket

oh, how i missed the troubadour. the place was packed to the brim. The Cave Singers, a seattle trio, opened the show and silenced the audience with their mesmerizing vocals. i was so happy to being seeing them as i had heard a live set many months ago on the wonderful show, morning becomes eclectic. The Cave Singers were above any expectation and i can not wait for them to come through again, if you have a chance to check out their live tunes i recommend!!!

and for Department of Eagles.

their live sound is just as haunting as their album presents. whenever i listen to them i imagine floating through some forrest, never knowing what is around the next corner.


i love to just sit back and take it all in, and watching them perform these delicate songs live was such a treat. they claim this will be the one and only tour. doubtful. again. highly recommended for your viewing and listening pleasure.

for all my jews out there say "HO!"

**The Obama Cabinet**

So far we have:

Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff - Jewish

David Axelrod - Senior Advisor to the President - Jewish

Ronald Klain - Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the
United States - Jewish

Larry Summers - Economic Advisor to the President - Jewish

Paul Volcker - Economic Advisor to the President, Former Head
of Fed Reserve - Jewish

Tim Geithner - Treasury Secretary - Jewish

Peter Orszag - Head of Budget - Jewish

Am I the only one noticing that Obama and Biden are not so much
assembling staff, as gathering a minyan?

for the 1 or 2 people out there who read this...

1.fuck the killers. i know, i know i'm so harsh. but honestly hot fuss was a great record. that's it. get over it. next.

2. so excited for flying lotus... am i the only one?

3. fleet foxes.. i missed them every time around this past year. i'm just afraid everyone at coachella will also be watching.

okay. thats it. read below for speculations. goldenvoice, bring on the real shit.

It is the start of a new year and that means we're slouching towards Southern California's biggest music festivals, starting with Coachella in the middle of April. And the internet is simply ablaze with line-up rumors. But this year, much like last, crazed fans have taken things a step further on the festival's message board, going as far as to contact bands directly for confirmation.

At the forefront of this year's rumor mill are scores of potential summer blockbuster acts, including Animal Collective, Basement Jaxx, the Black Keys, Blur, Britney Spears, Four Tet, Glasvegas, José González, Keane, Morrissey, N.A.S.A, Neil Young, Outkast, the Pretenders, the Prodigy, the Replacements, the Smiths, the Thermals and the White Stripes. And among the purportedly confirmed artists, who have been reached through Myspace or other means, are some pretty sizable LA locals like No Age, Peanut Butter Wolf, the Airborne Toxic Event and Flying Lotus.


So that got us thinking, who would you like to see at this year's Coachella and why?

Confirmed Artists: the Airborne Toxic Event, the Bug, Buraka Som Sistema, Crystal Castles, Drop The Lime, Fleet Foxes, Flying Lotus, Girl Talk, the Hold Steady, the Killers, No Age, Noah and the Whale, Late of the Pier, Los Campesinos!, Peanut Butter Wolf, the Presets, Sébastien Tellier,Themselves, Tinariwen
