Tripwire blog chart

I'm not 100% sure what this is, but I submitted a list, as did a pretty healthy number of the blogs I read. I know in the future there's gonna be a Sirius radio show based around this and it makes everyone feel somewhat important. The list shouldn't surprise you if you stay up to date with all this stuff, but it'll be a good barometer of what everybody's really listening to/talking about. I think it's a great idea, and I'm more than happy to participate. I'm glad SOMEBODY will be making money off all our hard work.

You can see the whole list here. Here was my top 10, submitted on May 3rd:

The Walkmen
Slowlands
Sunset Rubdown
The Riverboat Gamblers
Cloud Cult
Minus the Bear
Brand New
Russian Circles
The Sounds
Land of Talk

Needless to say, it was a pretty off the top of my head list. Still, I stand by it. Even the questionable picks. Only one of my picks cracked final list, mind you. I'm ok with that.

I've been really busy this week, but I've got a growing backlog of bands and shows I wanna talk about. GnR, Ghostland, Hockey Night, Joggers, Giant Drag, Tokyo Police Club, Utah, and more. I'm also coming down with some sort of smoke machine-induced cold/sore throat from last night, so bear with me.

This week I'm seeing Angels and Airwaves tonight (really), then maybe Another round of Ghostland at Delancey if I'm not dying by them, tomorrow I'm seeing Naughty by Nature and Black Sheep (really), Thursday is Sam Champion at Southpaw (click on the flyer to enlarge) Friday is Land of Talk and Slowlands, Saturday I'm going to Connecticut, and Sunday I'm going to the National.

By the way, Ghostland Observatory is on KEXP at 4:00. Listen if you can.

You have made 2 excellent points that I wanted to mention, Jeff.

1. Ghostland Observatory are fantastic. Thanks for the recommendation.

2. (From a comment you made last year). The second Franz Ferdinand cd is excellent. It took some time to grow on me, but now, I love it.
