Woodlands gets famous… in Portugal

This is pretty cool.

Arrah from Arrah and the Ferns has provided the music for a Portuguese movie called Azeitona which, based on the trailer, seems to be some sort of hearwarming coming-of-age drama. And it also has some of the hottest Portuguese men I’ve ever seen.

You can listen to some of the music on their MySpace page.

Crystal Castles are kind of scary

Jared on WOXY

Filed under: Rock music — Dan at 8:52 pm on Monday, March 24, 2008

Hi.

Jared brought it to my attention that I haven’t posted here in a long time.

As a potential subject for a post, he suggested promoting his blogger special on WOXY tomorrow night at 8 p.m. EST.

So go to WOXY.com tomorrow (Tuesday, the 25th) and listen to him.  He’s going to play a song by Seabear that’s not the song below.

I’m sorry, was I not supposed to say that?

I meant — he’s going to play a lot of Blues Traveler.

Prepare yourself for the awfulness

First up, I don’t know what’s going on with that plugin on the right.  It worked the first time I tried it and now it is giving me a weird error message.  I’ll take it down soon enough.

Secondly, per Stickles’ request, next week I’m going to begin a five-part daily series of Room Clearers. Each themed.

It’ll be five discs of ten songs each — all of them absolutely unlistenable.  Or listenable while acknowledging your self-hatred.  So get ready.  First thing Monday, it’ll be ready to launch.

More indie pop than you effers can even handle!

First of all, keep submitting ideas for Room Clearers below.  I’m interested to see what you come up with.

Second, I just installed a cool widget over on the right-hand side.  It’s a little internet radio station that is “inspired” by the music I listen to.  So, if you’re as interested in me as I am in myself, you can get pre-vetted music in your earhole just by clicking to the right.

(I just updated my laptop with the latest Audioscrobbler plugin, so now it’s collecting data on what I’m listening to again.  If you want to stalk me in real time, click here.)
