Pitchfork 500

I’ve been slowly going through Pitchfork 500 reading and listening, thanks to a friend burning the entire 500 on a dvd for me (Thanks Blake!). So far, like most of Pitchfork, there’s some really great reviews and music on here and a few choices that lead to a giant “huh?”. It’s been awesome for digging up some undiscovered (by me) classics and generally expanding my music knowledge. Here’s a couple songs I found through the book that I now can not live without…

The Hold Steady

Here’s the trailer for The Hold Steady’s new live DVD / rock doc, “A Positive Rage”. It was filmed in Chicago a couple years back at the Metro, which I am still regretting missing. I am happy, though, that I’ll now be able to experience the show vicariously….

News, notes, tidbits, that I have on my mind this week.
