Guliani messing with statistics

The NYT is running a story about presidential front runner Rudy Giuliani messing with statistics during his recent campaign stops.

The article indicates that Guliani has played with a wide range of statistics, including government spending and crime rates during his terms in new york.

For a guy already walking a fine line between over hyping his only "highlight" (9/11) and trying hard to please every conservative group he can think of and has dissed in the past (NRA). This could not have come at a worse time.

M.I.A

Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys but it has been a hard couple of weeks school wise.

Anyways I don't think there is much to write on anyways so ill just tell you about some posts coming soon.

Dec. 5th i will be seeing former Pedro the Lion front man David Bazan at the hi-dive and i will probably post on that.

Dec. 11th the Cold War Kids will be in boulder and I may head out for that.

Currently I have been listening to a lot of Andrew Jackson Jihad and they just recently got their new CD reviewed by AP. Great band in the vein of Against Me! and they should be rolling through here in late December. They have a few tracks for DL through that link.

Zookeeper's new one has caught my eye as well but not in the same way. Sounds like Bright eyes and The Good Life, though AP didn't like it at all.

I may do a few best of lists if the mood suits me, but for the most part i feel like everyone does that and its quite dull. Ill play that by ear.

Its the end of the world officially now

Lastly i am going to do a nice sized "Thursdays are for old friends on Modest Mouse's Good News For People Who Love Bad news" in the coming weeks. It is one of my all time favorite albums so i plan on putting some time into it.

Feist at the Ogden

Feist played the Ogden and Luke took me along. I thought it was a decent if a little slow show, she was fun but it really just made me want to see BSS. Check what Julio had to say and I'm sure Luke will have some thing to say. Both will put songs up so I'm going to skip that step and swearer a new post tomorrow night.

Brand New- "fork and Knife"

Brand new let this B side out recently and i have waited to post it because they decided to sell this one and i hate to cut in on their money flow.

Basically nine songs/demos leaked well before "Devil and God"was planned to drop. Jesse was apparently furious about this and instead of releasing the album, scraped most of the songs or re did them completely (see Luca reprise). Uber cool kids like my self have held on to these demos and prayed they would revisit them.

Recently our prayers were answered with "Fork and Knife". This song has a haunting drum beat with catchy lyrics and I am thrilled it finally made its way out into the light. Though it has some great lyrics im not really sure how this would have fit with DaG any ways. Ill take it as a B side, and Hope he gives the others the same treatment.

NOFX suxs

"Kids, if you're gonna be a good Christian, you should go to a good college. But if you go to college, then you probably won't be a Christian any longer 'cause you might learn something about other cultures."

NOFX did another live album! Sticking with the long tradition of ironic album titles it's called "They've actually gotten worse live" which is almost as funny as "So long! And thanks for all the shoes."

Far as I can tell the CD is composed mostly of rarities and stuff that wasn't on the other live album. From the cursory listen it sounds like they even changed the tempos and lyrics to some of the songs. Very cool stuff, i highly recommend you go get this one.

But if you are to cheep I'm going to put up my bootleg copy of a show they did a couple summers ago. It's live in Fitchburg Mass, and has kept me laughing for a while.

Its Zipped for comfort!

To much radiohead!

Why does every freekin blogg have a post on Radiohead? Come on gents, I know you guys want to spend as much time as possible sucking up to these cats, but really?

I get it, they are good, and they haven't done anything new in a while and they are really really really big.

Great.

Next topic please!

Thursdays are for finding old friends: All-time Quarterback

All-Time QB was a side project for Ben Gibbard that met a rather untimely end. Unlike its cousin "The Postal Service" QB was never fully released and did not have the cool band mates to help it survive.

The songs are similar to other Gibbard productions and have that familiar haunting lyrical content we have all come to know and love. The only down side is they are mostly weirdly produced and often feel like a better forgotten B-Side.

Still, there are gems in these recordings. "Plans get complex" is fun and a great precursor to other Gibbard material and if you are a fan I'm sure it will all be interesting to you.

Interestingly enough, Ben was heckled to play "Soc Hop" in a recent solo live show, to which he kind of laughed and declined. Lucky for you dear readers I have a rare occasion where Ben did play an All time song live. I believe I got it from Hard to find a friend back in the day as part of an original live set in the state of Washington.

no news is good news i guess

Not a whole lot going on these last few days.

Saul Williams new one dropped and its pretty dam good, prolly going to go up to Wyo and see him there.

Colbert did a small piece for the NYT which is pretty funny, but he wont be on the ballet in SC mainly because the people down there have no sense of humor and refuse to acknowledge that he may very well take a high percentage of the vote if he is official.

take an against me! track for old times sake and to make the picture tie into the text.

Baby, I'm an Anarchist.mp3

More news soon I hope.
