...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

Speaking of the Ponys


real jacked to see these guys (and gal) at Pitchfork Fest. Appears that Sunday's line-up is a real doozy...the Ponys, New Pornographers, the Sea & Cake, Malkmus, Deerhunter, De La Soul.

And the can't miss show at the Metro this summer...mark yer calender:

Wednesday, June 20th:

SUPERCHUNK!!!!!
The Ponys
The Mountain Goats


Being a Wednesday, this sucks for moi. Otherwise, I'd fly back in a heartbeat for this one-nighter. According to the Metro Website, there are amazingly still tix available for this. I can't believe that this show won't sell out...if not real soon. Go here for tix:

The Metro - Eff Cancer Benefit show TIX

As you can see, proceeds are going to a good cause. Appears 4 years ago, a good friend of Superchunk was diagnosed with Chordoma. For $20 cheap, you get a pretty rare performance from Superchunk, Chicago's own the Ponys, and another great band in the Mountain Goats. So support the cause, and get yer rawk on at the same time.

Here's some Ponys, from their last album, Turn the Lights Out. Great album, front to back...go buy it from Matador.
