The Generationals at The Basement – 5/21
It was ‘judgement day”, I had spent all week in front of a computer. In the event that all hell did break loose, I didn’t want to be in front of a Macbook when it happened. So, I didn’t give much pre-game attention to The Generationals (the openers for Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr) on…

Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr at the Basement – 5/21
These guys have been getting a lot of hype lately, and I was very excited to spend my last possible minutes on Earth (It was the day of the supposed Rapture) with these guys. The tiny stage at the Basement was adorned with giant-bulbed “J’s” and “R’s”, and given the lack of a dressing…

Yacht – Dystopia on the last day of humanity
So, surely you have heard that some crackpot (who has in turn started a nice $72 million business) has predicted that world is going to end sometime in the next 24 hours (around 6pm on May 21st 2011). So, I thought it would be fitting to post the very catchy “end of the world”…

Mogwai w/ Errors – 8pm tonight, Exit/In
Mogwai is the epitome of post-rock. This five man band out of Glasgow Scotland is well known for lengthy instrumental electric guitar pieces and melodic bass lines. The effect is half heart pounding head bobbing intensity and half peaceful lullabies. These guys have been melting brains while rocking you to sleep since 1995 when…

Has everyone heard Girl Talk? The Gregg Gillis no-holds-barred, full-force, mash up wrecking crew that is better known as Girl Talk? This guy is completely nuts (he was trying to buy Tesla shares before he knew what it was), not to mention quite the controversial stir with the hundreds of samples that he uses…
