Tomorrow @ Muddy Waters: The Botticellis!



So there's this awesome up-and-coming band hailing from San Francisco coming through town tomorrow, and I hope you'll all turn up at Muddy Waters to see the show! The Botticellis, which I mentioned in an earlier post, finished recording their debut album, Old Home Movies this summer, and the tracks I've heard so far inspire a lot of confidence.

"Old Home Movies" [MP3]

Brief Break From Posting...


Santa Barbara's own Matinee Records celebrates its 10th anniversary! You better be there, you!

So I'm absolutely fatigued from Austin City Limits, driving back to Santa Barbara to go to work tomorrow (only to drive back to LA to see Animal Collective tomorrow night!)... I'm gonna resume posting when I get back from Animal Collective on Wednesday at some point. It's gonna be a ridiculously busy week. Besides good ole AC, I'm gonna be seeing the Lucksmiths and the Guild League and Math and Physics Club and Maria and the Botticellis and Hoover Dan and Black Moth Super Rainbow all in Santa Barbara in the coming week. And classes! And resuming work at the newspaper. I'm getting tired just thinking about it all.

But the posting must go on! I promise. And I'm gonna update the SB Concert Calendar ASAP.

Another diversion: my little brother's entrusted me with the best task ever! He's finally got a computer to call his own, and with that, a brand new, fresh, empty blank slate of an iTunes library that I get to fill with all the goodies one could ever hope for. The classics, the newer stuff... it's kinda hard to know what to throw at someone who's never gotten into music at all before. I don't wanna overwhelm the kid and send him running to my sister and her Linkin Park anthology (just kidding, Emily!).

On the positive side, I have rediscovered my Elvis Costello obsession!
