Music

Last night I went with Chris to the most anticipated show I’ve wanted to go to this year so far.  While Bloc Party might be my new favorite band, I had heard they were not very good live so I didn’t have much expectation.  Editors on the other hand though were totally different.  I’ve heard…

Friday night I flew to Chicago and met up with Pat and Wipert to see Bloc Party. I’m so glad I finally got to see them live. They’re the first band I can honestly say I like more than Pearl Jam and they put on a good show despite being outdoors and having a bad…

Literally. This morning I woke up early so I could buy Lollapalooza tickets right when they went on sale. Pat had been suggesting the idea when he and Dave came to visit a few weeks ago and with Pearl Jam announcing their headlining yesterday I couldn’t think of a more perfect thing to do in…

This post is about some of the albums and songs that have burrowed into my memory for whatever reason and bring me back to a specific point in my past. It’s by no means a list of my favorites. They just happen to be buried in my memory for whatever reason. Pearl Jam – Yield…

Anyone who has talked to me about music in the last year knows by now that I love Bloc Party. I came on to the scene a little late after getting into their first album “Silent Alarm” only after it was remixed a billion times. That probably makes me incredibly unhip but that’s what happens…

The most prominent thing I’m doing in music right now is a radio show called nowlikephotographs that is broadcast live on Radio K from 4-6pm central standard time every Sunday. You can listen in the Twin Cities at 770AM, 106.5 FM or 100.7FM. If you’re outside the city you can listen online. I host the…

Hopefully everyone likes the new blog design. For the first post here with the new design Chris and are announcing our new Now Like Photographs podcast! We’re doing weekly podcasts that have full-length instrumental songs in them. You can get the iTunes version through the link here or if you want the raw file to…

I haven’t gone to many shows lately but I had a chance to go see two this past weekend. The first was at the Urban Art Center to see Saxon Shore. I went with Bri and we had to wait around a while before the show. I leaned up against a table that I thought…

We’re having them in to play a live set on our show from 4-6pm. Check it out online at radiok.org or if you’re in the cities 106.5 FM. Chris and I would love it if you pick up some watts to support our show!

I completely forgot until yesterday that I’m DJing on Radio K tonight from 6-9pm. I haven’t done a regular shift since Chris and I started our specialty show Now Like Photographs in January. Call up and request some music! 612-626-4770.

What a night Chris and I had last night. So we decided, since Kris and Erin were working, that we would go see a local band “The Hidden Chord“. They were playing a show at “Fireball Cafe” near St. Paul. The two opening bands looked pretty bad so we didn’t actually leave until 8:30 or…
