Several months ago, This Diminishing West (with Scott Hunter of Poor Old Lu ) announced they were calling it quits.
But apparently they wanted to leave us with something, so they have released a five song album entitled “Ninety-Seven Weeks” for download (mirror ), along with a PDF of lyrics and credits.
Well, it looks like Radiohead is going to be visiting Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara. That means four cities within i-would-drive-to-see-Radiohead distance, and four chances to get tickets to go see them. That makes me pretty excited.
Also, did you know their new album, “In Rainbows,” debuted at number 1 in the US, the UK, and Canada? Not to mention number 2 in Australia… Considering they already give it away for free three months ago, I’d say that is pretty awesome…then again, I am one of the people who paid twice for it, once for the download and once in the store (hey, it was only $8 and I get the real deal).
Anyhow, I am hoping to get the chance to see them in concert this summer.
Black Orange, another music project of mine, just wrote, recorded, and released an album in 24 hours.
It’s called “Breakfast Sonic Delight” and you can listen to it here
Enjoy.
Yay! You can preorder either the download or full boxset of Radiohead’s new album “In Rainbows” right here
Wheeeeeeeee!!
Fear Factory is doing guitar and bass lessons!
Check it out, from their MySpace page:
“I’m giving guitar lessons and bass lessons

Wait! I live in the LA area or near…oh, that’s right…I’m poor. Nevermind.
Yep, one more: As I Lay Dying posted the cover and track listing for their new album, set to come out August 21st.
Forgot to mention that you can listen to preview clips of the album in progress here.
Well, let’s see what’s going on in the world of music…
Saviour Machine, as you may know, did not release their final part of the Legend trilogy on 7/7/7 as planned, due to Eric Clayton’s health. Fans are sad, but willing to wait for the conclusion to that awesome project. The revised release date is early next year.
Radiohead claims to be working on and nearly finished with their next album, which will be insane and awesome. Because…it’s Radiohead.
Gogol Bordello released their new album “Super Taranta” a few days ago, but I will admit I heard it much earlier and…well, I wasn’t impressed. I am currently of the opinion that “Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike” was more coherent and varied. However, you can currently listen to their entire new album on their MySpace page.
I also received Volume 5 of Megatokyo in the mail yesterday, and the Megatokyo .N1T3Z poster today. Pretty cool. Not sure what I’m going to do with the poster, though…
