Last Night: Art Brut
Watching Art Brut live upheld every expectation I had. Humorous stories, great music, and even one of the amps caught on fire on stage. Art Brut really are one of the great live acts around, I mean if you listen to any of their albums, you can tell that it’s going to translate really well live. Art Brut is more than just a group of people playing some songs, Eddie Argos takes you through what feels like a late night shows, giving in depths views on a variety of different subjects, great little stories about Iggy Pop and David Bowie, and jokes around with the audience all while the band rock out and give Argos stories a context. Argos told me that they are halfway through their US tour so I would definitely try to make a show of theirs if they come around your area.

Hide & Seek by Joe Gideon & The Shark
In case you didn’t think bands like Art Brut were original enough, there comes Joe Gideon and The Shark. From the Jim Morrison-esque narration in the beginning to the clashing sounds trumpeting through the end, “Hide & Seek” is quite an experience. It’s been a while since there’s been some good experimental blues.

This is my fun in the sun mix. I’m not a normal person, I know, but I when the weather is good I like to be outside and let guitar fuzz and distortion zone me out. Leave the other upbeat stuff for the parties, this is what relaxes me, (honestly). Besides, you can find tons of other kinds of stuff in the MUSIC section. Also since lo-fi is becoming so popular again I decided to include a small history lesson in here with The Vaselines, My Bloody Valentine, and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
