Week In Review – August 25-31

Another week has passed and it’s the last day of August…shit where has my summer gone. Week 5 out Week 10 until I should be cleared to play sports again…

School starts on Wednesday and look for the website to go into some sort of limbo, I’m terrible at time managing. Without further ado here are the week’s posts and whatever else is going on around the blogosphere.

Welcome our 3 new writers, Matt, Coko and Lu.

Stereolab – Chemical Chords by Matt- put this on my list of albums to check out
The Virgins – Coko questions their band name, from band pictures it looks like more of truthful confession
Endeverater – Kiss or Kill by Lu

Reviews:
Broadfield Marchers – The Invitable Continuing
London Zoo by The Bug – I gave it a 5/5 (am I giving out too many?), it is really is worthy of its critical acclaim
The Faint – Fasciinatiion – What’s with the I’s?
Island’s Arm Way
Mothlite – The Flax of Reverie – hopefully we can get an interview going Jess ;)
The Sleeping Years – We’re Becoming Islands One by One

Other:
Cutting Edge Music Fest Pt. 2
Hamlet 2 Review and Mini-Playlist – save your $$
Tropic Thunder Playlist and Review – Hilarious but offensive movie. I’m shameless when it comes to these playlists.
Joe reviews The Final Riot tour with headliners, Paramore.
The Microsoft Zune is Gangsta – Screw The Ipod – srsly
Ghalib reviews the Woodhands and Lioness show he saw last weekend.

News around the internet:
F Yeah Fest guys got beat up by Radiohead security with the cops watching. They recorded security beating up a patron excessively and security ran and beat them up for it.

The man behind AntiQuiet (or one of the writers) had his house stormed by FBI and he was formerly charged for posting tracks of Chinese Democracy. Chinese Democracy is the long awaited Guns n’ Roses album that has cost a reported 10 million or so. He faces a LONG prison sentence, releasing copyrighted work before it’s formerly released is really the problem. He did have it coming, especially living in the states. Slash isn’t rooting for him.

Some good discussion at the Elbo.ws forum. Way to hold us bloggers to standards Under the Dog.

Pitchfork ended the hype of Bloc Party’s Intimacy with a predicted 5.0-something score.

    Are you making fun of me???



  2. Allan — September 3, 2008 @ 10:24 pm

    No… I made it seem sarcastic. I was rooting for you…



  3. Under The Dog — September 3, 2008 @ 10:37 pm

    Oh, ha ha, I wasn’t sure because of the whole sarcasm not translating on the internet thing.

    But seriously, putting up my own money to release a record has really made me rethink everything.

    Yeah that’s tough. I don’t understand the blog label thing that so many are getting into. I think the blog to ezine thing is much more favorable.

    Good luck though if you do try your hand…



  5. Under The Dog — September 3, 2008 @ 11:09 pm

    No, it’s not a blog to label thing, blogging is something I do for fun. I never even thought of tying the blog in…

    I do plan on losing money though, fortunately, it’s a partnership so it could turn out for the better.



  6. Allan — September 3, 2008 @ 11:10 pm

    O is it something you’re recording as an artist?



  7. Under The Dog — September 3, 2008 @ 11:20 pm

    Nope, just some small releases for unsigned touring bands. Vinyl only. I’ll mail you a promo. Someone on your site will like it I’m sure.

    I wouldn’t release my own music. I’m not good enough though everyone says I am.



  8. Allan — September 3, 2008 @ 11:21 pm

    Vinyl? I’ll ask who has a vinyl player… I need to get one.

    I’m interested in hearing your work though.
