At the Drive-In have reformed.

^ I really liked their new EP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Usbi9qYYQ MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMER!!!

Saw this band open for Cage the Elephant at the venue I work at. Boy, can that chick SHRED!!!! They had one of the most epic stage exits I've ever seen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIZRZKE0qUE

Chris Cornell is playing an acoustic solo set at the Carnegie Music Hall (best venue I've ever been to, saw Wilco there) and part of me wants to go. Having said that, prices are a bit steep to see him play stuff off his solo records that I don't care about. Can't Soundgarden just come through Pittsburgh already? So, a guy in my fraternity works with me at one of the local music venues. A girl he likes is a runner for Live Nation (gets what the artists want on show days). Anyway, last minute he was asked to be a part of the ambiance crew for the Jay-Z/Kanye Watch the Throne tour date in Pittsburgh. He basically set up the elaborate dressing rooms for both Kanye and Jay-Z, but he worked primarily on Jay's room. At one point, he was given a pile of folded clothes to put on a table and he told me at the bar that he realized that "I'm holding Jay-Z's underwear!" haha but I also knew the guy who worked on Kanye's room, which took them upward of 7-8 hours to prepare. For instance, the entire room had to be white (his rider said he needed 12 dozen white roses) and they said that setting up his curtains took 5 hours in and of itself. Anyway, long story short, I got a 2 free tickets in the club seats about 5 rows up center-ice (it was in the arena where the Penguins play hockey). It was a baller show! Despite the fact that hip hop shows aren't my favorite, seeing two icons together was pretty awesome. In this video, Jay thematically followed up Kanye's "Gold Digger" with "99 Problems." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o89NeLNYjtA&feature=related

Three Days is BY FAR Jane's Addiction's best song. Saw them open with it when I caught them on the NIN|JA Tour and they blew me away! Watch this video: They even tweaked the base line and made it flat and it sounds so much more bad ***. Navarro was a god on guitar!

I need to give it another listen. Love Jane's Addiction, but wasn't impressed with the new album. Alas, nothing can compare to Ritual de lo Habitual.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuv8tncXBNQ New band I'm currently hooked on.

^LIKE Awesome lineup of bands covering U2's album Achtung Baby.

really drunk and listening to my party mix

Really interesting musical style. Mixture of rock/grunge with funk/soul and electronic undertones.

Bush and Primus will be rolling through my joint in the next month or so.

Watch this and you'll understand. This was before Donald Glover hit it big on tv. Speaking of Donald Glover, his rapping (take a 'p' out and it's a pun ) is pretty tight (his stage name is Childish Gambino). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otPxoVQiIGo

Styx are playing the venue I intern at tonight. Saw Incubus put on a hell of a show last night, but I couldn't stop thinking of bro rape....
