The potential legalization of certain small quanities of narcotics in Mexico is going unreported in many places and has not been published on any front page in a Mexico City newspaper. Here's an article from the San Diego Union Tribune on the issue.

A must read.

And one from the NYT.

Here's two tracks from a rather well know Seattle band, Minus the Bear. They've toured with the Appleseedcast a number of times.
Think indie/math rock with lots of clean guitar.
Enjoy.

On these gorgeous spring days we've been having, you can't help but wonder. . .should it really be this nice in April.

better than me

There are some kids out there who are just way better at this music blog thing than I am, althought I am getting pretty good.

Today though I'm bowing out to them and telling you to go right here (for great Birdmonster tracks) and right here (for great unheard Sufjan tracks regarding Micigan locales).

Hopefully that makes your Friday a little better.

remixed

here's few tracks from the newer DFA records remix album. enjoy.

[mp3] The Chemical Brothers- The Boxer
[mp3] Soulwax- Another Excuse


check back soon for the famous Lying in States from Chicago and some music.

from the NW

After a long delay, the music returns.

I just spent some time in Portland, OR and had the chance the see Talkdemonic play live at the famous Music Millenium. The show was a free in-store preformance and while it was a touch underwhelming, the music is really good. Imagine a instrumental mix of hip-hop beats and loops begin washed over with live drums and violin.

They were named best new band of 2005 by the Williamette Week. Give these two tracks a listen and look for more frequent updates to be certain.

[mp3] Talkdemonic- Cascade Locks
[mp3] Talkdemonic- Junesong

Read a snobby pitchfork review of the album.

As a side note, don't miss The Appleseed Cast Monday nite at Mac's Bar in Lansing, MI (if you're anywhere near there).
