To me, Carah Faye Charnow was what made the Shiny Toy Guns who they were. Now without her, they have shrunk to mediocrity, and worse sometimes.
Thank God Carah went off and started her own band: Versant. They are as yet unsigned, but I can't see that staying the same for long. Here's the first song. I can't wait for more!
Other than the creepy guy in line, good show.
Chris Corner is quite...eccentric.
If you don't know the music, here's a sample:
Next up (hopefully): Margot and the Nuclear So and So's.
Went and saw The Faint last night. Good show. Took forever for them to come on (two crappy openers that took forever to leave), but when they did it was awesome.
The lead singer was dressed up like Dr. Horrible, which was kick ass and fit their music unbelievably well.
If you haven't heard of The Faint, you really need to check them out.
Here are some videos I took of the whole experience. The first two are of one of the openers, Glass Candy...because I wanted to show just how crazy her dancing was. The rest are pure The Faint.
Enjoy!
So my good friend and neighbor Scott has started a new blog called There's Treasure Everywhere. It's a place where multiple contributors post about hints of beauty and spirituality that we find in everyday things like music, movies, books, poetry, etc.
So, today I wrote my first post over there. It's about a children's record I used to listen to when I was a kid, and the new meaning it has for me now as an adult. Check it out.

This song matches my mood.
Going to see these guys tomorrow night.
Here's a clip of them performing semi-live on jimmy kimmel...backwards.
Yeah, you heard me. Watch it.
I showed this song to my boyfriend. He's now in love. I officially found him his new favorite song!
Your Muse video of the day: The Small Print.
I love this performance from Earls Court in 2004. He even throws his guitar into the crowd at the end. I absolutely love how into the song Matt is in this performance. Incredible!
I finally got around to buying this CD yesterday. I'm glad I did.
Great Northern is an indie band from Los Angeles, CA comprised of two girls and two guys. This is how they describe themselves:
Great Northern: The name evokes a feeling of a place and time in which . . . to dream, perhaps, to get away from it all, or away from one’s self. It’s late afternoon, strolling into night. There’s a slight breeze – but you’re warm in your coat, or bundled in cotton as you gaze out the window when suddenly.......... CRASH CRASH CRASH.... BOOM BOOM BOOM... BING BANG BONG BIFF...... xo......GN
The single, Home:
Muse DVD of Wembley and Parc des Prince scheduled for before Christmas this year.
And from MuseLive:
Moreover, in an interview given last May to Rock Mag and published in this month's issue, Matthew confirmed that he has begun to work on a new album and new songs, some more in line with electronic or "dance" music and others more with classical or symphonic music (the band is thinking of hiring an orchestra for some of them).
Yet, these new songs will probably not be played live during this tour, since the band wishes to keep them all fresh and new. Matthew also revealed that the next album should be produced by the band itself, in order to have more freedom.
