Almost as good as Pixies + Jay Reatard…maybe not.
Spoon’s all right as I indicated in my CD Review of Transference, but I’m really going (unless it gets sold out) for Deerhunter and Strange Boys.

OBOMA!
Nonpartisan budget and security monitors report in Government Executive that the “administration’s request for $538 billion for the Defense Department in fiscal 2010 and its stated intention to maintain a high level of funding in the coming years put the president on track to spend more on defense, in real dollars, than any other president has in one term of office since World War II. And that’s not counting the additional $130 billion the administration is requesting to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan next year, with even more war spending slated for future years.”

Old King Cole Writes For DH Blog
Old King Cole Younger, known in many circles as Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, is the newest contributor to Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter blog. That’s a pretty damn good blog…right up there with No Age. Go and read it: http://deerhuntertheband.blogspot.com
That said, don’t confuse Cole with Bradford. At the bottom of every post on that blog, there is a user-name. Bradford has this to say:
Since Cole has started posting here please be sure to read who posted what at the bottom of each entry. Ever since Lockett’s journal of bodily functions, I’ve been rather annoyed how people attribute everything on this blog to me. Especially lazy journalists. Cole’s opinions of prepubescent latino preachers are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Deerhunter Music Group, LLC.
Cole – keep it PG-13.

Merry Christmas KLYAMers
Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ, whose birth is the most universally celebrated in the entire world. Where would we be without Jesus? That’s my question of the week.

Since this is mainly a music blog (but it’s obviously more than that), I’d thought I share with you a 7″ that I just discovered. Two years ago King Khan helped his six year old daughter Saba Lou record her first CD. Jared Swilley coaxed Saba Lou into releasing it on Die Slaughterhaus and the rest is history.
Here is a link to the music video for her song “Physical Nothing” which was penned completely by her; daddy Khan is just playing the music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ13hSUWKSc

No dates or anything, but the magic words were uttered by King in this video:
