  1. @MTLConcerts Oh yeah? That's good to know!
  2. Shows I'm reviewing next week: Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Natalie Merchant. It truly is 1995 again. I'm okay with that.
  3. By the way, Swedish pop rules. Always bet on Swedish pop.
  4. Reading Washington Post's article on summer pop songs makes me want to throw up. Except this gem. Suck it Carly Jepsen: youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajL…
  5. Support an awesome Chicago upstart brewery: kickstarter.com/projects/arcad… #arcadebrewery
  6. Japandroids, Silversun Pickups, Jack White, Chromatics, Beach House, Santigold. It's a good month for new music.
  7. Yeah, that's right, my article on restaurants and their music playlists was two years ahead of the NYT's recent piece:gapersblock.com/merge/archives…
  8. Bad Veins is another Cincy band who's blowing up. Their new album is one of the best pop records I've heard all year: cincinnati.metromix.com/music/article/…
  9. @grooveu They're awesome people who have been/continue to be in awesome bands.
  10. I interviewed Kelley Deal of the Breeders about her new band with Mike Montgomery called R. Ring. Check them out: cincinnati.metromix.com/music/article/…
  11. @theafghanwhigs Seriously, play a hometown show! Love you guys.
  12. Cincinnati's own Afghan Whigs are playing Lolla. I owned "Gentlemen" on cassette. Cassette! Play Cincy, Greg Dulli!
  13. This band makes me proud to be a Bobcat: cincinnati.metromix.com/music/article/…
  14. Pitchfork gave the new Chromatics album a 8.7. I rarely agree with Pfork's reviews, but this time they're spot-on. Great record.
  15. This new Chromatics song is a combo of Cure's "Fascination Street" and "Running Up That Hill" equaling awesomeness: bit.ly/GVypYq
  16. Rue Dumaine in Dayton, OH got a James Beard nom for Best Chef in a category competing against four top Chicago chefs. Way to go my hometown!
  17. @raphmontreal Next year we'll meet up there again. I must go back!
  18. @raphmontreal Tu t'amuses a Austin?
  19. Scored Radiohead tixs, which means I'll be spending a lovely June evening with the boys this summer. Well, me and 20,000 others.
