Music: May 2004 Archives

So, I went to the first of two back-to-back Sleater-Kinney concerts this evening, and Quasi was the opener. Janet Weiss, is pulling double-duty playing drums for both Quasi and Sleater-Kinney -- and simply put, she is amazing. I mean, no offense to Sam Coomes, but he could have just been on stage beating his head with a cowbell and Quasi still would have played a good set -- Janet is just that good.

Unfortunately, the #1 drummer spot in my life is currently taken (Danny Carey, of Tool). But every time I see Janet perform, I am more and more impressed. She is really, truly, gunning for that #1 spot...

This is the new EP/DVD release from Fall Out Boy. I happened to get mine in the mail today, because I pre-ordered it a couple of weeks ago. According to Sara, it doesn't come out until Monday, but somehow, the upgraded shipping really paid off (I guess the USPS now has time-travel capabilities). And of course, being the swell older brother that I am, I called her up and rubbed it in that I got my copy, while hers has yet to arrive.

Anyways, I checked out the DVD a little bit (while Kev and I were waiting for Anjali to arrive), and it seems okay. But I just spun the EP, and it is great -- all filled with acousticy-Stumphy-greatness. I heartily recommend that you buy it.
