ftm's twitter: will debut a BRAND NEW SONG on 93x in Minneapolis on Monday! (Listen online worldwide!) Details soon!

that dj from 93X, it is cool having him from Minnesota and pimping 1of MY bands.

And the 7th show coming up in 30 months or whatever doesn't hurt either.

So, on Monday, Packers/Vikings and a new FTM song. When it'll be, who knows. But I may tell a friend of mine, I'll pass on going to bar for the game if I haven't heard it yet on 93X. Although hopefully someone over on one of the boards will rip the stream when it happens. I just hope 93x's server doesn't crash. May not be a bad idea to test it out soon just to get an idea about how to stream their station ahead of time.

The Dear Hunter: I probably should hold-off and write a more appropriate review including my 5:15-6:30pm 4hour-free parking dilemma. I'm kind of tired now.

But if there's one thing to get down is the metaphor that crossed my mind about TDH, Casey, and music that kind of goes with my repeated feelings when I'm around my brother and his kids, and with my parents too.

They got the American-Dream: career + kids etc. Success.

I have, well what I have. Work that pays my bills and isn't exactly boring (or as boring as it sounds/is stereotyped as), but isn't a career for me. And I have no marriage or gf and no kids.

So what DO I have? I have my entertainment, lol. My music, movies, television and other things. Trivial, right? Limited, trivial hobbies, or even addictions.

Casey Crescenzo, while he's humble and modest about his talents as a musician/entertainer, etc. He is significant to me, and possibly others. He's an icon. His talents are just too much to not be thankful for them each time we experience his music. And he's an icon. When I have been able to talk to him, yeah he's a normal person like anyone, but I'd be lying if it doesn't mean something a bit more to me.

I think it's almost like a line I or others might say to a beautiful woman. "You don't know how much pleasure you give me. I wish I could allow you to feel as much joy as I do from you."

It's true, I really wish Casey could fathom what it's like for me, and fans that can't truly put into words, their appreciation for his music. I'm sure he has, with others that he's met before. Like if he met Terry Gilliam I suppose, Minnesota's own I might add.

So trivial to others, and I guess cds, tv, etc are trivial things, but it goes back to the idea of, what else do I got? No career, no lovelife, music is all I got, so it thus becomes more than trivial to me.

dredg - "I Don't Know" video

last.fm LINK (embed hopefully soon)

a bit disappointing given some of the stuff talked about it being more artsy. It is, but not enough really. It looks like a video a brand new/up-and-coming band would make for promotional use. I don't mind b&w and retro/organic looking videos, but it's maybe a bit too simple for me.

O well, better than nothing I suppose.

The Dear Hunter tonight as a headliner in Minneapolis. Triplerock..yeah I'd prefer The Varsity among others but I can't complain. Makeup for the lost July show and more.

Annuals - Hi-Hat (2009)

OMG!! A new Annuals ep!!!
that's right my friends, we annuals have new material coming to your precious little ears very soon. The hi-hat ep is schedueld to come out, with our fingers crossed, early november. we will be promoting the new release on an upcoming week long tour with The Dear Hunter. tour starts october 25 in vienna, virginia and will work its way up the east coast and end in boston november 1st. keep checking back for new material as it is in the process of being mastered right now. tour dates are listed on our page. come see us because we would love to see you!!

<3 Annuals

my guess is, they were looking to release a full-length either late this year, or sometime next year from a previous blog. But when The Dear Hunter came about, getting something new to support it would benefit the band.

I'm excietd for the headlining TDH gig with some nice openers in locals Empires and City of Sound, but to see Annuals WITH them would rule. Tood bad, but 3 Annuals shows in '07-'09 I can't complain. Those NorthEast folks are lucky tho.

The Dear Hunter Wed September 30th!

I'm hoping something special may occur given we lost out a few weeks ago.

I am happy, especially since they are HEADLINING for the 1st time ever here. But among those big 4 lost shows, TDH were certainly the most likely to return here and of course the band I'd seen the most recently and tied for the most in 3x's.

But this is a bit of silver in my lining. A show i will appreciate even more now. Wednesday night at the Triplerock aint' my 1st choice, but I cannot complain much.
