Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'm slowly working my way through the Lux & Ivy mixes on WFMU. I can actually say now that I like their taste in music better than I like their music. It's all over the place!

That's beautiful and properly Lux-urious.

They're definitely some of the most important tastemakers of the last thirty years. True rock and roll archeologists.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I won tickets to see The Hold Steady and the show was last night. Liked them a lot -- great, all I needed was a new band to follow.
The two opening acts (Black Gold and Rosewood Thieves) were Good and Very Good respectively.

Black Gold! (Their keyboardist toured with Panic at the Disco last summer.)
I saw The Gaslight Anthem last night, and they were great. Hard rockin' Jersey boys who played their little hearts out. Their openers were Good Old War and Heartless Bastards, the former of which was adorable and had some crazy fangirls (who were standing next to me and were happy to tell me all about how awesome they are), and the latter has not only an excellent band name but a sultry-voiced lead singer who was lovely and wearing some bitchin' high heels.

Their keyboardist (who sings lead) has a big muppety mouth and is... remarkably awkward. At first it was a little off-putting -- but his complete unselfconsciouness became engaging pretty quickly. And I really like his voice.
Ooh! Gaslight Anthem! I saw them on the final night of the Bouncing Souls' Christmas shows.
Heartless Bastards IS a good name. Another band name I like is Gimme Drugs. Very forthright, both of them.

They namechecked both the Souls and Asbury Lanes, and I thought of you! They were so deliciously Jersey; I must buy their album asap.

I'm seeing the Souls next month at Asbury Lanes. SO psyched.
(Well, in May. In April I'm seeing them here in NYC and in Connecticut. I can stop any time I want. DON'T JUDGE ME!)
Speaking of Deliciously Jersey -- what's with the very very guido car there, Gerard?

I do have to agree with him that those new Challengers are badass.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Galight Anthem - badass. Hold Steady - fun (and I did not know there were so many MSP peeps in SF), but they were overshadowed by Drive-By Truckers for me.
I have tickets to see Rise Against in July, with Rancid and Billy Talent. I'm excited to see BT again, and Rancid in Oakland is going to be an AMAZING show.
