BOWERBIRDS

all that and a Neil Young cover, to boot!

Tomorrow night, look good. In times of fashion, consider me the chief of police.

Be there or be squares.

Also: SXSW is lookin' hott....!!!!

pretty, right?

Hey, do you like cartoons? What about rap? What about rap AND cartoons?

How 'bout graffiti....in ACTION!?!?

Okay, so: Aesop Rock is happening on Saturday. It's almost sold out. Stop watching animated rap videos and go see the real, live action shit: http://transmission.frontgatetickets.com/choose.php?a=1&lid=38647&eid=45213

Rapping Swedes in tuxedos paying homage to texas and James Brown is just what we needed. The Movits came to party and these swedes didn't waste anytime either! They came out rockin and left us wanting more. Well done men.. well done.

As I'm sure you all have heard by now, the rock world has lost the talented Jay Reatard. I feel it is only right that I take some space here and share some of my favorite moments from Jay's brilliant--and all too short--career.

A short one from the early days of the Reatards:

I was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to see him play live. In case you missed it, this is from the last show he played, in Milwaukee:

and some earlier shows:

And finally, my favorite album track:

RIP indeed.

Ah, yes indeed. Praise be to Allah: the Judeo-Christian holidays are over.

If you're at all like me, you did a little traveling in the past few weeks. Allow me to speak on your behalf: damn, does it feel good to be back.
And you know, I realized something over Christmas dinner: I hate where I'm from. Everywhere else sucks, and everyone in who lives everywhere else sucks too*. TEXAS is where it's at. It's heaven on earth. Hillbilly heaven.

So join us this Wednesday for (Jan 13th) a very special celebration brought to you by Texas, in the way only Texas can bring it:

Because you can't have a rowdy barbecue party in January anywhere else. It's indisputable. We'll have free food, games, and cheap beer that you can only find in Texas (and some you can find elsewhere, but hey, shut up). Feel free to dress like a Texan. Whatever that means to you. As long as it involves chaps.

*jk luv u everywhere else.
**everybody's a VIP tonight, baby
