Best Lunch Break...Ever??

Back on Wednesday I had quite possibly the best lunch break ever...and I didn't even eat. One of my favorite bands, Phoenix, was in Atlanta [and in AMERICA] for their concert but during the day they had an in-store appearance at Criminal Records in Little 5 Points. They did like a five or six song set and even stayed around for autographs. Really nice band. They brought in a really diverse group of fans: Some girls skipped school at UGA to drive down, I met a guy who drove from Nashville and a woman even called out of work to make it. I mean, I was even there haha. Here are more of the pics that I got and a video that another one of the fans Manu Muraro posted. It was a great way to end out the month, to say the least.




Dope.

If Phoenix is ever in your city, go see them. Also, check out Criminal Records the next time you're in Little Five Points. I even met the mysterious @Criminal Records twitterer, Lillian. She's dope too.

Music [Video] of the Moment - June 11, 2009

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my older brother. He's 25 today and it's even making me feel old.

Now on to the music. I'm still feeling this band, Phoenix. If you haven't heard their album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, then you are LATE. I haven't stopped playing it since I bought it and I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon. Check out the first two videos for the album for the singles Lisztomania and 1901. I originally posted 1901 back in April and it's still in rotation. Wavy.

I promise, every time I listen to these joints I look like:

Music of the Moment - April 6, 2009

In my never-ending search for hard to find and newly discovered music, I stumbled across the band Phoenix. Now even though they sound like the bird from X-Men, they're a pretty hot band. The French, alternative band is from the same neck of the woods as Daft Punk and their sound reminds me of another band that I like, Does it Offend You, Yeah? The band has been around since the late 90's and are set to release their fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix at the end of May. [I'm coppin. You should too.] Check out the first single from their new album called 1901. It might make you want to do this:

I wouldn't blame you though. Owwwww.

1901


Oh, and they were on SNL this past weekend with Seth Rogen. Rockin. Ow.
