That’s right, KLYAM faves No Age are playing in MA again! If you don’t know already they are one of our top three favorite live acts and it really means the world to us any and every chance we get to see them. This time they are playing at Chum’s Coffehouse in Waltham, MA @ Brandeis University on Saturday, March 10.
Damn, and I thought I was pumped for Bad Brains!
Always Forever from Rookie on Vimeo.
I can’t wait for the album! It’s called Hairdresser Blues and will be released on Hardly Art on February 28th.
Also, in similar news, Hunx and His Punx (the whole band, not this solo effort) will be hitting up Boston on Monday, April 2 at the Radio in Sommerville!
On December 17, Bill Hicks would have turned 50 years old. Sadly, he passed away of pancreatic canceer at the age of 32, but his legacy is growing bigger and bigger each year. Kudos to Keith Olbermann for this special report. For what Bill stood for (or more appropriately stood against) having his material and his ideas presented on a national news station in America means a lot. RIP Brother.

From 1987-2002 Fugazi toured the world and documented nearly all of it. This is really exciting for me since I’m a big fan as I can imagine this is big news for millions of other fans. Just to reiterate how special this is, here is a quote from the above linked NPR article/interview: “Not 850 tracks, or even 850 hours — 850 shows.”
This is pretty amazing and just goes to show how important documentation can be for the arts. Even in hiatus, the band still manages to create unique experiences for their fans, unlike any other artist past or present.

If you couldn’t tell already from viewing this site, I am a humongus Simpsons nutcase and the idea of a whole channel devoted to the greatest television series of all time and my personal favorite show is simply thrilling. It is not a certainty yet, but Fox is contemplating it and I for one am all for this. Let’s pray.
This has been my favorite Nirvana song for years; I heard this was Kurt’s favorite and that he actually thought it would be more popular than Teen Spirit. I don’t have any sources to back that up, but it really doesn’t matter who thinks what, it’s a great pop song, that’s all ther is to it. I love the little Sonic Youth esque middle part of the tune too. Does anybody else have a favorite Nirvana song?
*Also, I totally forgot this month (8 days from now, September 24) will be the twentieth anniversey of Nevermind. Love it? Hate it? How has it held up over the years- influence and who? Or how has it not held up over the years? Let us know. I have my own thoughts that I might share in a separate post when that day comes (if I remember of course). Here’s an interesting New York Times article on the anniversery.
