Les Savy Fav Concert @ The Black Cat
Renewed my faith that punk rock could be exciting, interesting, and fun.- The Blondes "Teenage Foxes"
Classic, catchy (and creepy?) power pop with the sweet line: "I would like to meet teenage foxes/The kind that like blow pops/See me on the street/Looking spicy." Looking spicy? - Jay Reatard
Everything I've heard from this guy is awesome; I can't wait to listen to his new singles collection. - Amoeba Records
After living in DC (apparently the land of tiny record stores) for six years, every visit to Amoeba is a highly anticipated pilgrimage. Last time, I sacrificed precious moments at my brother's graduation to hunt down a $2 bargain bin copy of the Boggs' Forts. - Nudity
So far it's been a good year for nudity in music! My favorites so far include the Throw Me The Statue album art, Tim Harrington's onstage costume changes (see #1), and the BPA's "Toe Jam" video (see below), which gave me a new appreciation for censorship. The enormity of all that skin is enough to induce some awesome indie rock inspired interpretive dancing.
THE BPA - THE BPA 'TOE JAM' FEAT. DAVID BYRNE & DIZZEE RASCAL
