newsflash: Perfect (again) from now on -- live in NYC!

There's something really awesome about bands performing studio albums in their entirety live in front of an audience.  (don't believe me? go download the live concert recording of Belle and Sebastian's "If you're feeling sinister".)

and it's even more exciting when it's one of your favorite bands, doing one of your favorite albums of all time (see above).

so, is anyone else flipping out over the fact that Idaho's favorite indie rock sons Built to Spill will be performing their 1997 album Perfect From Now On from start to finish this coming September?  Because I am.

So the shows are September 25 and 26 at Terminal 5 (which I actually haven't been to yet but I hear it's awful but I don't care where it is i'd even cross the Hudson to Jersey to see this show).  Tickets went on sale yesterday. Who wants to join me?  Buy them here (thursday) or here (friday).

In case you forgot how good the album is, let this track jog your memory:

Yes, this is VERY exciting but I have a FLUXCONCERT both nights so I can't go. Disheartening, that.

  • listen. is a mostly-daily (but don't hold us to that) offering of good music curated by geoffrey and benjamin. we tend to like old stuff (soul, jazz, classic rock and the like), new stuff (folk, indie of all kinds, whatever else strikes our fancy), and sort-of-new, sort-of-old stuff that you may have forgotten you liked. occasionally we invite friends to share their favorite music with us as well.

a couple of notes

  • 1. if you are an artist or a record label or anyone else that matters and you'd like us to remove a track from our blog, please just let us know and we will do so post haste. and we won't even talk shi* about you.
  • 2. the image in our banner is from a photo ben took of the band Fall Harbor performing at Alternating Current in Brooklyn, 01.28.2008.

so many ways to listen.

  • count the ways you can enjoy the music we share with you: 1. each song has a little play button next to it. click it, listen to it, love it! 2. if you want to take the song home with you, right-click or control-click the title, and select "save link as..." to download. 3. some of the songs we've recently posted will be featured in the "streampad" player below, so you can listen that way too. we highly recommend clicking in the lower right hand corner to popup a new window, which you can make as big as you like.

  • benjamin and geoffrey are young-ish gentlemen that live in williamsburg, brooklyn. in addition to listening to all kinds of good music, they also enjoy riding their bicycles around town and cooking good meals and doing all sorts of other fun things.
