MP3/VIDEO: Eight Songs That I Am Into Right Now

I’ve decided that since I have had so much cool music come through the inbox lately, another Eight Songs post is in order. Hear eight more songs that I have been into lately after the break. A spooky picture of eight pumpkins seems appropriate for such a post, eh? Considering the time of year, that [...]

MP3: Primus, “June 2010 Rehearsal”

As I previously mentioned I had the chance to catch Gogol Bordello and Primus on the Oddity Faire 2010 tour. It was a pretty rocking show. When I was purchasing tickets for the show I noticed that Primus actually released a new EP this year. The best part is that it is free! For the [...]

VIDEO: Gogol Bordello, “Start Wearing Purple”

So I managed to catch two amazing acts live this week all in one night. Not only did I get to see Primus on their 2010 Oddity Faire Tour, but the band playing just before them happened to be gypsy punks Gogol Bordello. I’ve been really anxious to catch Gogol Bordello live for a while. [...]

YSLAR Updates: October ’10

Ah, October. The spookiest of months. Hey, check out my pumpkin this year! Okay, so that’s not my pumpkin. It’s pretty cool though, eh? Maybe I’ll post my pumpkin later. Last month was a month of recuperation and the aftermath of Dragon*Con 2010. With school and everything lately it has been increasingly difficult to maintain [...]
