Thanks to Stu and radioUTD for getting me into a sold out Ratatat show for free.
With the show being sold out, my usual spot up front was occupied by a bunch of middle schoolers, so tonight’s pictures aren’t going to be too impressive.
E*rock
E*rock was rocking put with a wiimote. I think that’s all I have to say.
Up next is Panther. The singer came up on stage and said that he was on shrooms.
So amazing
Now that I’m actually on a computer, I can see how crappy my iPhone pictures were when I’m not absolute front row. I really had a good view from my own eyes though. To make up for it, here’s the great music video for Ratatat’s song Mirando off of LP3.
Go see The Dark Knight. This week’s mix has two different faces. (Yeah, I know that was pretty bad.)

A mixtape full of sick beats and phat grooves and some other hackneyed vernacular referring to the indietronica scene and the remixing of the indietronica scene. I’m really just making up words right now since it’s so late. (Early?)

In other awesome related news, you can now go into the settings for muxtape and your listening to my mix will then be scrobbled to your last.fm profile! Everyone will know that you listened to a remix of a Bee Gees song! Honestly, if a song you listened to isn’t scrobbled to your last.fm, did you really listen to it? Are you sure? It’s very similar to the tree falling in the woods, but no one to hear it type situation.
A visit to the aquarium inspired this week’s mix; the penguins didn’t seem to enjoy the Texas heat very much and were just trying to do as little as possible during my visit. I can’t say that I blame them very much, I didn’t do much else today except to stay in the air conditioning and purchase penguin related items. So to help myself and others relax while dealing with the heat, here’s a nice laid back and chill mixtape with no particular theme, but feel free to interpret it however you want to.

Broken Social Scene - Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl
Cat Power - Sea Of Love
Zero 7 - Distractions

Explosions In The Sky - A Song For Our Fathers
