First there was that shit-tastic hardcore supergroup…now Richard Ashcroft thinks he’s ready for (another) comeback. It’s official: We’ve changed our name to Baboon 5.

A Slice of Life Brought to you by Model UN
A.W. Mills: Can you contact people/book the room? I'm still working two jobs till Monday
Jeff: you don't have to qualify your laziness
you can just say "hey, jeff...can you book the room because i'm lzy?"
A.W. Mills: lol. I have done like 88% of the phone-call-making and organizing for this band for like 5 years. BEEEE OTCH
Jeff: YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME
NOTHING
A.W. Mills: oh man. You'd had to draw me a diagram or something to defend that position.
lol
Jeff: Model UN w/o Jeff = NOTHING
mathematical equation BEOTCH
A.W. Mills: So, (Model UN) / Nothing = -(Jeff)
Model UN divided by nothing = 0
so Jeff = 0
Jeff: that's bad math
Model UN - Jeff = 0
so the only way Jeff = 0 is if Moden UN = 0
A.W. Mills: lol

Food Bloggin'
I have no money, but I like to eat healthily and/or creatively when I can. Recent stuff eaten:
We made Chickpeas with Pine nuts, lemon zest and fresh basil. Served with blanched asparagus, polenta, a simple arugula salad, and beats season with a simple vinaigrette.
I made these with Alex, Joanna, and Shawn! That’s a homemade black bean burger with habanero, tomato, and homemade...

I hope that Joanna Newsom knows that, when indie-type musicians say stuff like this in public, all they are doing is reinforcing that old stereotype that experimental musicians are snooty and holier-than-thou. She even resorts to name-calling. For such a supposedly intelligent and articulate songwriter, this kind of behavior seems pretty childish and small.

Voxtrot Calls it Quits →
Despite some of the (mostly my) personal opinions of this band this came as a bit of a shock. They had a long tenure as one of the prominent bands here in Austin. I’ve met Jason on multiple occasions and seen him play in multiple bands and he always was nothing but gracious and kind. I wish I could say the same for every member of that band but some bad run-ins have left me sour. Oh well....

On Whom Can You Depend?
This morning, while listening to the band Surfer Blood, I started thinking about what happened to the band Weezer. Like many people who grew up listening to the style of music that used to be called “alternative rock,” I have strong opinions about Weezer. In my experience, most people who were born in the early eighties share my opinions about their discography: “The Blue...

The Austin band Harlem are about to put out a full-length album on Matador Records. The album is called Hippies, and the best song on the album is called “Gay Human Bones.” You can hear the song on their MySpace here.
“Gay Human Bones” proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that indie rock is the best genre of music that we have. I believe this because, on any given day, if...
