quick update

Interviewing Kyle from Witch and Feathers tomorrow (well, actually THIS) morning. I'm doing Feathers for Aural Minority and Witch for Modern Fix.

Speaking of Modern Fix, I had three articles in the new one: Year Future, Shoplifting and Rahim. They all turned out really well, except it looks like I dropped a word in a sentence in the Year Future piece.

What can you do?

I got SEVEN promos today and they were all absolutely horrible--easily the worst promo day in the history of Aural Minority, and you can imagine we've had some bad ones. Overall we've hit a promo doldrum, though this one band Cougars reminds me of the Murder City Devils/Smoke and Smoke, and that's never a bad thing.

Downloaded the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs (i like the second half of the album, but not the first half) and the new Secret Machines (a snoozer).

I interviewed Camilla from Sunset Rubdown (and formerly of Pony Up!) the other day, as well as J'aime from Islands. If I could just interview people from Canada I think I would. They're just so fucking nice.

I'm going to see Cold War Kids tomorrow for the first time. They're kinda Buckley-ish and I want to see how they pull it off live.

The new Fiery Furnaces is coming out and they were working with a friendly publicity firm and now they're working with somebody who I don't think likes me because I shot them a very curt email after they assured me I'd be listed for a Kills show in San Diego that was sold out, but I wasn't. I may have to bite the bullet and actually purchase it. although I do have Eleanor's cell phone number....

Just kidding. Wouldn't do that.
