Pavement band member quashed Pitchfork stream of festival set

Sounds like Spiral responded to the speculation that he was the Pavement member who pulled the plug on Pitchfork's live stream of their performance...

Pavement band member quashed Pitchfork stream of festival set

Say what you will about Spiral, but I can't say I'd blame him for being pissed after seeing this review...

"The short of it: This album has all the charm of a flaccid penis protruding out from beneath a fold of flesh on a balding, middle-aged man."

That was Pitchfork's review on Preston School of Industry's Monsoon album from 2004.

Go ahead and diss the album, but that sounds a tad on the personal side.

Built to Spill - THIS SUNDAY!

Figures. Pittsburgh. My city where many of the bands I like skip. And on this Sunday, August 1st...TWO of my all time favorites will be visiting on the same fricking night.

Yo La Tengo is also playing Pittsburgh this Sunday...a FREE show at Hartwood Acres, starting at 7:30. For its overall catalog, I actually rank YLT higher on my all-time favs list, but I'm choosing to see Built to Spill at Mr Smalls. Still tickets available HERE.

From the 2006 album You In Reverse...

Boston Spaceships - Our Cubehouse Still Rocks

From what I hear from the cool kids, this may be the best BS record yet. We will soon see, as it's set for release on August 30th. Which means I would expect to see a Pre-Order coming soon from your Factory of Raw Essentials. Long Live Rockathon!!

Max: Ovechkin "a real douche"

I'm guessing the immediate reaction from the Ovechkin camp will be "Who is Max Talbot?"

To which the response is: "You can find his name on the Stanley Cup"
