Listening Post (Free subscription) | 07/19/2008
Listening Post's continuing look at the resurgence of so-called shoegaze wouldn't be complete without a chat with the man behind the aural soundscapes of Slowdive, which formed in 1989 and signed shortly thereafter to the scene-making label Creation. Sharing space...

Three Imaginary Girls: Biding time between festival weekends
The KEXP Blog (Free subscription) | 07/19/2008
This is an interesting weekend. It is between two festivals — last weekend’s Sub Pop 20 extravaganza (I didn’t even go but I followed it so closely online that I felt exhausted) and next Capitol Hill Block Party next.

"Reagan earned it?" the speech at brandenberg was in 1987 *before* Reagan had done anything Well, give the evil fuck some credit, Aimai; it only took him 6 years and 70,000 deaths and untold infections before he mentioned AIDS in public. So he had some issues with timing, no biggie. /sarcasm Fucking Illini polluting the great state of California with his bullshit.

Again with that crap about Reagan bringing the Soviet Empire to its knees. Craphammer is an idiot. The FSU was gasping its last long before that grade B movie actor got stuffed into the Big House.

Bruce Gary, the late great drummer of The Knack, smoked pot with Frank Sinatra and Buddy Rich once. I think that qualified him for Carnegie Hall, even if you left the band out.

California and Civil Rights
La Shawn Barber's Corner (Free subscription) | 07/18/2008

Way worse than the Knackered playing Carnegie Hall is Billy Joel playing the last ever concert at Shea Stadium. Not that I was expecting a Velvet Underground reunion there but Billy Fucking Joel goddamit? Asshole isn't even a Met fan.

Some twenty music icons are brought together for the first time, not to give a concert but to present their visual works. This is not about a movement, but about artists who have all followed individual roads, approaching art and music with an undivided soul
