There's No Moral To The Story. It's Just A Bunch Of Stuff That Happenend...

It's early Thursday afternoon and if you partook of spiced Chinese whiskey (pictured right) last night, you're probably asking yourself where your goddamn pants are now.

Regardless, here are a few things worth covering real quick like before the weekend hits...

THE RETURN OF TANDEMORO
Excellent local indie pop act Tandemoro have posted their new Mexican Motown EP on their site. It's free for the weekend with some sort of payment option after that. Haven't heard the four-song EP yet, but I've been really looking forward to it.

BUZZ BANDS RIP
The LA Times won't be the same without music writer Kevin Bronson... To paraphrase Pressed For Sound's Scott MacDonald, in most towns you look at the weeklies for local music coverage and ignore the newspaper, but here, you looked at The LA Times for his Buzz Bands column.

I hope we all get to read more from him soon at a place more deserving of his many talents and great taste.

EARLIMART TICKETS
Still have a few pairs of tickets for the show at Spaceland on Friday night with Earlimart (whose new album is, like, ossum or something), The Movies (who really need another fucking Monday night residency... I mean, WTF?!), and Hocus Pocus (who are comprised of members of Dios Malos).

Write here with "EARLIMART" in the title and your full name in the subject to be entered for the drawing. Must be 21+ and have not won anything from us in the last sixty days.

GUEST SPOT ON KXLU DEMO LISTEN
More on this tomorrow, but I'm filling in for Octavius and Fred on Demo Listen on KXLU 88.9 FM on Friday from 6 - 8... I've been hitting up a lot of folks for demo tracks and have received a flood of them. Should have lots of new stuff to play from your favorite local bands.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE BOOM
The head of Electronic Arts just compared the last game I worked on -- which had a soundtrack from Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh -- to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. (Perhaps sans laser light show.) See here.

SIGNAL HILL TONIGHT!
Go see post rock act Signal Hill play at Pehrspace this evening and you'll walk away from the experience a very, very happy man... (Even if you're a woman.)
