Probably not my best writing of the year (or even the week), but you'll have to live with it. Plus, I working on other fun shit for you people, so start having fun with this first:




FRIDAY

Meat Puppets | The Only Children (Rubber Gloves)
I haven't been this excited to see a band I haven't listened to in 10 years in a long time. Their past several albums have been subpar to say the least, but shit, Meat Puppets have reached that legendary status in underground rock that will keep people coming out to their shows forever. Hopefully the band will show up tonight too. A "can't miss" event if you like guitars.

The Party with Nature, Sober and Select (Zubar)
Uh, you already know.

Caves | Kraken Fury | Nataraja | Shawn McMillan (House of Tinnitus)
It's apparently H.O.T. resident Rob's birthday this evening, and I'm guessing things will be crazier than usual at the house tonight. Caves are the clear highlight for me here, and although the HOT headliners often don't perform until very late, I'd suggest staying.

Daft Punk's Electroma with Pre-screening DJ set by Keith P (Midnight- Inwood Theater)
I've heard mixed reviews about this Daft Punk movie, and perhaps the worst knock has been the fact that no Daft Punk music actually appears in the film (although Todd Rundgren music is featured). I've also heard many of the scenes compared to that 15 minute sequence in Brown Bunny where Vincent Gallo rides his motorcycle around without any dialogue or action. Despite these red flags, however, I still want to see this thing. First of all, I thought Brown Bunny was an underrated movie with or without the blowjob scene, and second, the previews I've seen look interesting enough to take a risk. And you know what? It's not much of a risk when it's a midnight screening at the Inwood and Keith P is DJing a pre party at the bar from 10-12.

Pretty Vacant | Ctrl Alt Del (Fallout Lounge)
Justin V will be having his birthday party at Fallout this evening, featuring performances from both Pretty Vacant and Central Booking's CTL ALT DEL. Free, and maybe a less sweaty alternative to the Party, or a place to stop before or after.

Utah Saints (Lizard Lounge)

Long Attention Span Theater Presents Luis Bunuel's The Milky Way (Strawberry Fields)


SATURDAY

Hot Flash vs. Dub Assembly feat. Keith P | Schwa | Jason Mundo | Killtronix | Royal Highnuss (Fallout Lounge)
Two of the more diverse and interesting DJ crews in Dallas hook up, with Dub Assembly sticking mostly to fashionable, bass heavy London dubstep (but willing to branch out) and Hot Flash playing a lot of, uh, blog house, glitch, disco, soul and whatever else they can find.

Hotel Hotel | The Ostrich Tunning | Aliens (Secret Headquarters)

The Great Tyrant | Vorvodoss | Blood OV | Cleric (Red Blood Club)

Daft Punk's Electroma (Midnight- Inwood Theater)

SUNDAY

Wild In the Streets (Hailey's)

O HAY WUTZ UP GUYZ

ITZ THE TOTALLY GUYZ PARTY PATROL COMMENTIN ON ONE OF THEEZ BLOGZ AGAIN

OW OWWWW

HIGH FIVEZ

final show? are you not throwing anymore shows?

so here's a blast from the past, what happened to the review of that zac crain cd?

Lauren learn from brews.. anonymity is safety

How was Ostrich Tuning? Their myspace stuff sounded interesting.

so trying to figure out who the anons are posting about secret music party and zest.

Zest of Yore - best band that no one goes to see, probably based on a snap judgment of the name or else you don't know the people in the band.

secret music party - dangerously fun. daybreak came a bit to soon

bands are gay.

super fukd jam up at black bottle studios was a fucking shit storm. holy fuck. secret party rocks ballz. give me your titz sucka.

Yeah man, Gramatica totally sucked on guitar tonight. Maybe they can get Steve Vai instead.

i think gramatica might have just lost his job.

secret.

ZEST OF YORE!

and secret music party.

I HATE THE THINGS YOU LIKE!

i don't?

and i'd kinda like to know what's going on too. this town feels like death this wknd.

Eat shit and die Lauren.
everyone hates you anyways.

man denton, what the hell is going on tonight?

how can you say that?

those are all WSJR approved bands!

a dissenting voice shall not be tolerated!

:O

to the following bands I say "fuck off":

The Undoing
Ghosthustler
C!TR

that is all

Denton is tired and weary only to the Old Timers and their sympathizers. To us Yung Peepz, it is thriving.

We have like a million great bands, seven adventurous venues within five minutes of each other, and three more a bit further on, places like Strawberry Fields and Art Six showing off visual artists, and good friends and times to be had by all. Art is a Real Threat? New Sabbath festival? Awesome stuff. More often than not our tired and weary bands get on the road and shake it around the country, like real bands should.

The only thing we're missing is a place to show off the written word, but then maybe I am not so up on that jive.

SECRET HEADQUARTERS
PANHANDLE
EIGHTH CONTINENT

All of this in a pretty small town in Texas. It's pretty amazing.

Zest Of Yore @ Haileys TONIGHT (SAT)!

if you've never seen them you suck.

Ableton live is the only way to go. About 33 of the 35 people that have competed in Deathmatch use Ableton for a good reason. It's easy to learn. You can record a rock band with. You can do electronic music with it. You can DJ with it. It's thw swiss army knife of laptop music. If you need a copy contact me through the Stereo on strike page.

Adobe Audition is easy but extremely limited. No midi. No vst support. No ASIO support. Ableton all the way.

Duh, nimrod.

denton's music scene is tired and weary. denton needs a new musical savior.

thanks meat puppets for playing every nirvana song i came to see (:

The Tame..Tame And Quiet, Calhoun, Chatterton show at Chat Room is actually on Saturday night. A couple of people showed up here thinking the show was tonight (Friday). Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the plug DTC.

i've seen electroma and i can attest to it being fucking awesome. it manages to be long winded at times without dialog, but overall worth checking out.

fuck $17 to see the meat puppets. they wouldn't even go to their own fucking show. that's some bullshit.

it's all about the HOT tonight. keep'n it real.

digital performer, if you're willing

zest of yore @ hailey's saturday!

use adobe audition! best audio program eva' created.

looks like bullshit on sunday.

Deton County Revelators are playing at the North Texas State Fair at the fairgrounds in Denton.
We'll be in the building.
You probably won't make it, but your grandma will be there.

ableton live is awes 5:49

go to the party

can anyone recommend a program for making music on a mac? garageband isn't cutting it anymore. like what do the laptop deathmatch people use?

JnJ's tonight
frustrations
wax museums
terrible twos

rtb2@shq tonight

TT&Q and Calhoun at the Chat Room in FW.
