The new Purple Mountains is really great (the name not so much), so naturally I am deep in a Silver Jews vortex. Starlite Walker and The Natural Bridge will be in heavy rotation today. I remember getting into Pavement back in High School, and ended up buying this CD just because of the photo on the back, and the fact that it was in the Pavement section. This CD got played to death back in the day, so much so that looking at the disc itself right now, I need to buy a replacement copy.
I scored the new Purple Mountains album after seeing Lou Barlow play Sonic Boom. Stuck with the CD as I can no longer in good conscious pay 34 bucks for an LP anymore. So far its really really good though, so I may have to resort to buying one.
The gods of indie rock had lined up a killer weekend for us this weekend. Sebadoh and Guided by Voices have been a huge part of my life since high school, so seeing them back to back was pretty wild. The only thing that was missing was a Pavement show on Sunday night. Kurt came down for both shows!
Kruppa had his first GBV show as well this weekend, and here he is body surfing with Bobs approval.

A couple finishing touches are yet to be done, but the basement apartment is pretty much done! It took months, but I am pretty happy with the outcome.
