Okay. Okay.I know I'm a little late on this but I've been busy and haven't been keeping up with the Bloggses lately.
Favorites of mine (and hopefully yours) Tv On The Radio recently recorded a song in respone to those affected by Huricane Katrina. You can download it from the Touch & Go Records website or here (where I also have it streaming). It is a powerful song with some pretty strong lyrics. If you'd like to make a donation to the relief effort, you can do it here.
"what if all the fathers and the sons
went marching with their guns
drawn on washington.
that would seal the deal,
show if it was real,
this supposed freedom."
Now to brighten the mood, I also give you some dancing music from Chicago's own Watchers. Their tunes are their a unique mix of dance-funk, post-rock, no wave, dub, that recalls (at times) Sandinista-era Clash.
I'm also way late on the news of the annual hardcore festival, Hellfest, being cancelled. From what I understand they got fucked over by the venue. You can read about it and see some of the documents relating to it here. New Jersey's Lifetime (one of my favorite bands ever) was scheduled to play a reunion show at Hellfest, but in the wake of it's cancellation, played a total of three reunion shows in both Jersey and Philadelphia. While I was (unfortunately) unable to attend any of these shows, I was able to download a video of one of them. You can download it here. It sure brings back the memories.

I downloaded the tvotr track from gorilla vs. the bear. Great tune. I love that band.
CBT - TVOTR is awesome. This tune (are are most of theirs) is great. Do you have their New Health Rock ep? It's probably got some songs you haven't heard before.
