These guys are one of my latest finds. Got the new UNKLE record, which features this band. The Duke Spirit, live..

Music so far this year that is worth listening to:

Interpol - “Our Love to Admire”
Some are saying it isn’t that different from their last releases. But I feel it’s a little different, and with Interpol, you can’t veer too far off. This is a great record with strong hooks.

Arcade Fire - “Neon Bible”
This is my favorite band. Probably the best record released this year (so far). Very moody. Keeps your attention the whole time. Very theatrical. Very serious.

Unkle - “War Stories”
Unkle has released some really good stuff in the past. But nothing compared to “War Stories.” 14 tracks of genius song writing. Guest vocals all over the place. Track 8, “Mayday” with the singer from The Duke Spirit is my favorite on the album.

My favorite band at the moment. Go purchase “Neon Bible” by Arcade Fire, you won’t regret it.

Great song, check it out:

Found this mod for the Boss Tremolo TR2 pedal on Harmony Central and it saved the day!

I found that the volume significantly dropped when I used the pedal, but after doing these easy steps, it sounds much better.

1. Remove the bottom plate and the insulating plastic piece which is just inside.
2. Carefully fold out the circuit board and find C4 in the middle of the board (it looks like a little silvery pillow, and the board says “C4″ next to it)
3. Remove C4. You can use wire cutters, nail clippers, or even scissors. You can also bend it back and forth a zillion times until the two leads break.
4. Replace the circuit board, insulator, and bottom cover. Done!

GREAT band. My band . Check out our new album here: http://www.purevolume.com/albums/inreverentfear/stomacher

Just saw Radiohead here in San Diego…

It all started with my friends Jarrod and Amanda camping the night before. The next morning I met them and took over waiting in line (we were probably 35 people back from the entrance). I got there at 7am. I waited ALL day, with my wife and friends until 5:30pm when they finally started letting people in. By this time, I had severely burnt my legs from the sun in which I wouldn’t find out until later after the show.

We get spots in front of the stage probably 15 feet from the Thom’s mic stand, so that was pretty cool. We continue standing for about 2 more hours waiting for Radiohead and Deerhoof (opening band) to finish their set. FINALLY, they all came out and it was pretty crazy to see a musician you’ve always loved in person, rather than in magazines and books. Second song came around which was 2+2=5 and everyone got a little too excited and we all started getting squished up front. We ended up leaving our front row spots to do JACKASSES goofing off and creating too dangerous of a pushing frenzy.

We had been standing for over 5 hours at this point, so we decided to head back to the back, relax and sit and enjoy the show from there. They played a TON of songs with two encores. It was a blast.

But I have to say, I will never wait in line that long ever again. It really wasn’t worth being so worn out when they actually started playing.

And that was my wonderful first Radiohead concert experience in a nutshell.

Date of the show was June 26th, 2006.

Just happens to be my favorite song of theirs.

Radiohead played its first New York show since late 2003 last night (June 13) at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden and delivered eight new songs in consideration for its next studio album. The 23-song set also featured old favorites such as “The Bends,” “Fake Plastic Trees” and “Lucky.”
