I've been thinking about this post for a while, so after seeing Mace again this weekend I thought I should get to posting it. These are my top five live acts *when you compare the live show to the recordings.* Some acts are just live acts, and a CD just can't capture the ...Read more | Posted by bhawk | Comments (3)

So after hearing about this show I thought I'd go check it out to see what kind of local scene is going on. It turned out to be interesting, but overall it didn't satisfy my interests. I liked the fact that there was a ...Read more | Posted by bhawk | Comments (3)

Someone on the media ecology list posted this and I have to admit loving this kind of stuff. Reminds me of the Humanities conference in NC. It has real implications for complex vitalism, ...Read more | Posted by bhawk | Comments (4)

I always thought the White Stripes were OK. I appreciate what they are after but never blown away. Ractonteurs? A couple of songs are OK but I followed them less than even the WS. Now it looks like Jack White is in another side band: The Dead Weather. This is a nice live ...Read more | Posted by bhawk | Comments

Back when CCCC was in Minneapolis, we were standing around the hotel trying to decide what we should do. Stepped out of the hotel, looked to our right, and there is was: a big sign that said Melvins one block over. Couldn't believe it. The Melvins were playing at the ...Read more | Posted by bhawk | Comments (2)
