Ok, I don't know how to put this to you subtly so I'll tell you the only way I know how (with style and verve!): RAPT Magazine launched yesterday and it looks great! Got features on all kinds of cool stuff (politics, if you're into that, and a couple GPM reviews).
Next up on my list: A metric buttload of concert dates. It looks like the fierce warlords over at the Brohawk and Emo's are really doing they're best to put eachother out of business. What this means for us is TONS OF AWESOME SHOWS! So, in light of that, totally not for peace. Amen.
Ben Kweller is going to play a show at Waterloo Records on the third in support of his new "country" album. Then a week after that Waterloo will play host to Andrew Bird as he warms up for his solo set at The Paramount. Get excited! I already am.
As for our local yokels, The Bubbles will be playing a "free" show at Emo's on the fifth to celebrate Joel of Oh No! Oh My!'s birthday.
^NVM that, got some bad info. That show was from LAST YEAR! (thanks Pooneh)
Are you lonely? Plan on being sad and lame on Valentine's day? Me too! How bout we plan on being awesome and buy tickets to the White Ghost Shivers' "Valentine's Day Massacre"? Alright!
This month's SHOW NOT TO MISS is going to be fuckin' awesome! Just watch out for the 101x riff faff. Fujiya and Miyagi are going to play a show at Emo's on the twenty seventh. I'm totally going to be there. I'll be the stylish hipster in the front wearing tortoise shell sunglasses and being cooler than you (just kidding, I love you all! Also, I don't have tortoise shell sunglasses.).
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Don't ask how, but I've managed to procure a leak from the UPCOMING DAZE ALBUM! Many rebels gave their lives to give you this audio. Put it to good use, young jedi.
The last (I promise) tid-bits of news I have to drop in your needy little hands are:
1) Cut Copy at Stubb's in early March
2) Medici on West Lynn makes killer cappucinos
3) SXSW is going to be nuts (click here to see a list of bands that will be playing and here to register me a pass)
4) I'm working on writing out my interview with Harlem
5) Haven't forgotten about updates on my latest purchases, I'm just mad busy, yo
6) Jersey Mike's Subs makes awesome sandwiches
