Kanye "Never content with just 1 Video" West has released his third version of a music video for "Flashing Lights." I really like this version, but I still prefer the first one with the scantly clad model beating Kanye with a shovel! Yikes! Let us know what version you like!
At the Dinkytowner. Good show it will be.
In the meanwhile, I found this video on YouTube this afternoon. Been listening to Neutral Milk Hotel all day. It must be the rain.
Probably one of my favorite interviews on you tube right now. Stephen Merritt is my hero.

"As You Turn To Go." My favorite love song of all time - from The 6th's album Hyacinths and Thistles.
When Birthday Suits took the stage in First Avenue's 7th Street Entry, I wondered, "Wow, what the fuck are they so mad at?" I quickly realized their foes were bordem, complacency. Just see the clairvoyant "Twin City Bridge is Falling Down" -- which was written pre-35W collapse!!!
Cherry Blue, the 16-minute-33-second-long scorcher of an album, unveils a barrage of staccato, nose-thumbing, kick-a-hole-in-the-sky spaz punk.

They keep it real as Hennepin and
10000 Beats filmed the entire show. Lots of footage coming soon...
Classic. I realize we should have done something like this for Sound Set. It would have been amazing. Next year...
We should have more clips soon - but in the meanwhile, here is an Atmosphere snippet from Sunday's Sound Set:

My sister sat me down on Monday and gave me a lecture about how I need to start dating nice guys. I know I should, but I have found nice guys in the past, well, a little boring. "You have a problem," she told me.
I found myself at Sound Set on Sunday, feeling the same way about
It's the bravado, theatrics, confidence and swagger I love most about rap, and I suppose its glimmer of danger. My sister will tell you the qualities I find myself attracted to in men are the same, and start exciting and end destructively. What I haven’t wrapped my head around yet, is why misogyny and violence are integral to my favorite songs and why –aholic has become such a familiar suffix. I do have a problem.
Her advice was to practice dating nice guys, by going out with nice guys - that perhaps through the act of getting to know them, I'll find someone who likes himself, has a job, calls his mother (not too much, just enough), and is fun to hang around with. "Ok," I promised her, "I'll give it a shot."
