So this Monday (August 10th), I'm so lucky to have the fantastically talented Denver Dalley coming in to the Little Radio studios to chat with me! This guy was responsible for putting out one of my favorite records of 2007, Intramural's "This Is A Landslide," a beautiful piece of work. He was also an integral part of Desaparecidos (you know, that Conor Oberst side project), his other projects

I was supposed to be working - in fact, I was on an epic IM work chat with 5 other people. I rarely get on the ole IM because more often that not, it gets in the way. But sometimes it's awfully fun.Like the other day, when a friend of mine popped in and interrupted aforementioned epic work chat. I don't chat with him often, but it's always entertaining when he shows up."Mo!!!!!!!" he started.

When I read this today, my heart leaped out of my chest, I lost my breath, and I nearly fell out of my chair:PIXIES TO PLAY 23 SHOWS AT NYC'S MERCURY LOUNGEIn what is surely an unprecedented run, the Pixies will play 23 straight shows at the Mercury Lounge in New York City.

Well, I survived. People were dropping like flies around me... illnesses, alcohol, complete bodily weariness. I credit being a member of the Herbal Resistance (go Wellness Formula!) with avoiding the first item, knowing better than to drink much during endurance tests like this one for number 2, and as for number 3? Well, you can sleep when you're dead. Or at least back home.So here's a list of

And yes, the madness continues...Day Four - March 21At this point in the trek, you kind of don't care who is playing anymore. You're gonna see what you're gonna see. I already knew I wasn't going to bother trying to get to the Kanye West show that night. What? Am I crazy? Absolutely. Crazy tired of the Auto-Tune phenom no matter who is doing it. I hate robot voices. And overly dressed hipster

Yesterday's highlight? Walking into Pete Townsend on the street, realizing it was Pete Townsend, turning into Porky Pig and forgetting to take a picture with him. A friend pointed out to me that he probably wouldn't have been able to hear me had I asked anyway...Lowlight? Being approached by a random MTV street crew and asked to participate in a SXSW version of "Elimidate" with Asher Roth. "Let's

Oh my friends, there just isn't enough time in the day to tell you all how much music there has been in the last 24 hours. Let's just say I didn't see my hotel room for 14 hours yesterday.So you'll have to settle with a brief re-cap for now:Day Two - March 19thFirst surprise of the day? Those Darlins.

SXSW. Spring break for the music industry? Yea, kinda. A big, musical street party featuring lots of glorious hot dogs and bands. Ultimate club hopping. Major drink swapping. Drunken ballroom moshing (kudos to 'Nay for inventing the term). A good time, in other words! At least, for me it is.Despite wearing comfy shoes, I somehow got a blister where my squishy sandals didn't even make contact with

Cut Copy is one of the most fun bands you can see live these days... seriously. It's a dance party from start to finish, and since they are a buncha Aussies, the partying is pretty serious. They bounce around the stage, do melodramatic ABBA-esque hand gestures, play like an updated New Order (meaning keyboards AND drums & guitars), and are dorky white guys from the Southern Hemisphere with a

Jack White just doesn't have enough to do, right? So he goes and hooks up with that chick from the Kills to create another band, starts a new label, and opens up a groovy multi-use space featuring a performance area, the label offices, a vinyl record store, and darkroom (among other things). The band is called Dead Weather. Read more about it here. All I can say is that it sounds good... really

So tonight in the Big Apple, there was this tribute show to R.E.M. that some friends of mine attended (and called me from, although it's not like I could really hear anything). I knew that Throwing Muses was reuniting to play at it, but it's been a while since R.E.M. has brought me that jangly, mumbly guitar joy, so I didn't worry too much about missing it. (Although I did really dig Accelerate.)

Daylight savings is not agreeing with me. Well, getting up in the morning never agrees with me, but I think it's a little worse this time because my cat is not aware of the change and instead of waking me up for food at 7:30am, he's doing it at 6:30am. So I stumbled out of the house, down the street to the train station, and blearily made my way to our lovely downtown Little Radio digs to do this

So my Dad (and well, lots of people) know I have a deep affection for the Loch Ness Monster, and pretty much all potentially mythical (yet real?) creatures that live in lakes. Hell, I named my cat Nessie! And I've also seen that "Water Horse" movie a couple of times...My Dad forwarded me this (and I pass along to you) to enjoy. Love them Scots!

Another gray LA Monday, but warm! It's almost like being in the tropics. But totally not.One thing I love about our new downtown location is just the 'hood itself. Since downtown LA has finally become somewhat "developed," meaning there are people living here (and not in tents on sidewalks - but they're around too), you see some good old neighborhood action. Today I've seen a lot of sleepy dudes
