Built To Spill, Dinosaur Jr, Meat Puppets
Kat and I saw a great show on Friday night. Â Built To Spill headlined, and The Meat Puppets and Dinosaur Jr opened for them. Â I was a bit surprised about the order since I kinda feel like bands with seniority should be the headliners. Â But when I heard Built To Spill\’s set, I understood. Â They…

Dear Nora
Dear Nora has some of the most depressing songs I\’ve heard, but they\’re sung in such a pretty, upbeat way, you don\’t even notice until you listen to the lyrics.

Ulrich Schnauss
I found this guy, Urlrich Schnauss, who makes some great trance-y music. He plays with Airiel on their song Sugar Crystals. But his solo stuff is pretty great. Â I\’m actually working on a video very much like this one right now. myspace

After painting my new apartment all day, I just want to bliss out to this song
