I'm so excited about this that I can't even form complete sentences. Dinosaur Jr. has been in my top 5 favorite bands since I was in musical daipers. The album is solid, and I'll be reviewing it soon... Oh, I almost forgot to mention that today is a day of victory for politically minded indie rockers out there; Farm is on an indie label, Jagjaguwar. Bye, bye, ye brothers Warner.
2) Goleta/KCSB's own Watercolor Paintings are kicking off their 2009 Summer Tour at the Biko Garage in IV tonight. Opening bands: Backpack, Fleabag, Miguel From Oakland. Biko is at 6612 Sueno Rd., Isla Vista and the cost: donations! Since you've probably missed the show if you're reading this, wish the band well on myspace or check them out when they're in your town.
3) Yo La Tengo - Periodically Double or Triple available for free download here. This track will be on the upcoming album, Popular Songs, out September 8 on Matador Records.
4) Of all the freebies, I love digging up free albums the most. This one, entitled Cyber Sex, is a "mix tape" put out by Sub Pop Records featuring a number of artists. Some of these songs have been available for awhile, but now you can download them all at the same time here.
5) Starting with a bang, ending with a bang...Sub Pop announced today that Sunny Day Real Estate is REUNITING!!! Today is turning out to be awesome. Another of my all time favs getting back together for a tour beginning September 17!!! Come to Santa Barbara, pleeeease. Read about it here.
6) My apologies for the excess of exclamation points today. I promise it won't become a regular thing.
