I'm losing my edge, but bitch, what's happenin'?

What do you do when you SLEEP THROUGH the last minute SUPERGRASS show AND the late night HEALTH show on the same night? I woke up at 3am with waves of guilt and sadness washing over me. I was really looking forward to both of those shows. Fuck. This week, I will be reviewing Feist, Gravy Train(favorite website design ever, by the way) and The Jonas Brothers (if I'm lucky!!) Also, my Girl Talk show review should be posted in the next day or so as well. Read it, along with other reviews I've done at DenverPost.com/Reverb!

Speaking of Girl Talk, it looks like someone finally edited his Wikipedia entry. When I was doing a little background check on Gregg before Sarah photographed him before the show last Friday, his Wiki entry said that he dropped his pants on stage to spread his "Herpes." That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

In some final concert going news, I just discovered that The Pack and Tyga are opening for the Ying Yang Twins next month...possibly the sickest line-up for a show I've seen in a long time. I'm so excited I could puke! I knew Tyga was going to rule when I saw Travis from Gym Class in his video (and not to mention Pete Wentz...and my own personal savior, LIL' WEEZY.)

I think that is something unique about the Fall Out Boy fall out...as a band/label/entity (mostly Pete's label, Decaydance) they seem to operate like rap music does in that, there is this sort of grandfather effect. From Fall Out Boy came Gym Class Heroes, and From Gym Class came Tyga, and so on. I admire that. A bit of an introduction for a new artist gives them instant credibility, and that fact has worked well in rap music for a long time (NWA gave us Dr. Dre, and Dre gave us Snoop...NWA also gave us Eazy, and Eazy gave us Bone Thugs, etc.)

And the Pack, well, hi. Of course I'm going to love these fools. They got popular with a song about Vans, a track that's hella irresistably lo-fi. And (The Hood Internet's?) Crystal Castles/Pack mash-up is so sick. Obviously, white people are going to love them if they have a mix with CC.






And for some reason, ALL Pack videos are emedding disabled. That's a bitch...




I guess I'll watch 27 more Kat Williams clips on YouTube and try to go back to bed...
