Chromeo: A Show Review in 1 Minute or Less

Posted by zhx on July 31st, 2008 filed in All, Music

Been too busy to blog about the Chromeo show last Sunday, but it was, as you can imagine, pretty fucking rad.
We missed the opening act; a DJ Rad who, judging by his MySpace page, wasn’t all that rad anyway. He was followed by Steed Lord, a sort of low-rent Lords of Acid who wants SO [...]

Be Tee Doubleyoo

Seven additional tracks have been leaked from Weezer’s upcoming Red Album. I thought maybe I’d hold off until I could hear the completed, final and mastered album… but I caved.
As weird as it sounds, a couple songs (Heart Songs and Everybody Get Dangerous) almost sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Pat sings on a [...]

More Expelled…

Posted by zhx on April 17th, 2008 filed in All, Music, Religion/Politics

I really don’t mean to dwell on Expelled but I can’t help myself.
I read a review a while back that mentioned that the filmmakers had used John Lennon’s Imagine, playing the song (imagine no countries/ … and no religion too) over stock footage of Nazi Germany or Communist Russia or some such bullshit — you [...]

I Gave Up on Seal

Posted by zhx on April 5th, 2008 filed in All, Music, Randomness

I posted back on the first that Nick had suggested I learn Kiss from a Rose on guitar, which was a brilliant idea because I love knowing songs that make people say “…why do you know that song?” I had originally planned on multitracking several parts and covering the whole song instrumentally, but I had [...]

The Not Protest the Hero Show

Posted by zhx on March 19th, 2008 filed in All, Music

For the past couple days, I feel a bit like I’ve been in an episode of World’s Scariest Police Chases. Except instead of “scariest” imagine “most painful” and instead of “police chases” think “sore throats.” If there was a show called World’s Most Painful Sore Throats, my episode would only be available on one of [...]

Gogol Bordello

Posted by zhx on March 13th, 2008 filed in All, Music

My friend Adam is visiting and managed to get tickets to last night’s Gogol Bordello concert. Holy hell those guys put on a great show — all 417 members. It was like an explosion that kept exploding for two full hours. The place was PACKED and they had everybody there bouncing, to the point that [...]
