Britain's Metronomy is playing Chop Suey on Sunday, January 25th. I really like this kind of music. I like synthesizers, what can I say? A friend of mine pointed out to me the other day that disco etc. never really went away, and that is kind of true. But now the bonus is that nearly everything that's coming out now sounds like disco or synth music. Well, maybe not nearly everything - just enough to keep music interesting.

Here's a video for their catchy song, A Thing For Me.

PS: I guess I am starting to make show announcements on here. That's okay - it's part of covering music for sure.

I don't usually post many show announcements on this blog but here's an exception because I love this Ashley chick at the Wig so freaking much:

More details on their way.

You may have noticed the massive input of reviews, photos, interviews etc. on the blog. I am doing this because well, the blog is back. Some material may be seen elsewhere - some may be exclusive - and eventually I will have little things like bells and whistles e.g. photos & media back on here but here you go. It's back. Enjoy yourself.

Last night I saw a band called Switches. Here's their myspace page:
Switches on Myspace. Now, maybe I am partial to great music and cute British boys. I don't know. But they were great and no one here in the cowtown that can be Seattle knew about them. If you live in Los Angeles though you have two chances to see them next week. Bastards. Pix and interview soon.

It's been a good music week in part because I got this: the new She Wants Revenge song:
Written in Blood
Sounding cruel and moody.
