I was really sad not to see Say Hi when they played DC (I decided to see Glasvegas instead - bad move). Hopefully they will come around again. I loved The Wishes and the Glitch and am taking a liking to their latest album Oohs & Ahhs. Grab them both on eMusic.

Check out this mashup:
[mp3] Matt & Kim v. Beastie Boys | Good Ol' Fashion Rump Shaker
Side note: On the Beastie front, I have been obsessed with Check Your Head lately, although I won't be buying the reissue because I have all the b-sides already and I have it on vinyl. The "So Wat'cha Want" CD single used to get mad play in my car in high school and college. Skills to pay the bills, y'all. Although I totally want the "The Fat Shit in '92" shirt. I used to have one but it is in t-shirt heaven now.
King Khan and the Shrines are at the 9:30 Club next week.

Been hearing alot about Extra Golden lately. I think I might have to check them out at Comet Ping Pong if I am free on April 14th.
Hi Everyone. Sorry for being a bit M.I.A. so far in 2009. Work's been very hectic and Mrs. Leafblower and I just moved into a new apartment. Basically shit has been crazy. But we're out of the old apartment and settling in to our new one and hopefully things will return to normal soon. I have 16 concerts on my calendar for March, so things should be picking up. I am doing most of my daily blogging over at my Tumblr, so check there to see what I am reading on a daily basis.

Still, an unfinished version of the video has managed to somehow leak out online It seems the reason for the delay is that there are several scenes in the video where you can see a Getty Images watermark from the photos/images that appear behind the band. That band would be U2.

A Reporter Suddenly Becomes the News
Q: Could I be more excited about this show?
A: No. Especially after reading the reviews of an apparently superlative MSG show in NYC. I'm kind of regretting not going to Philly last night, but the weather was kind of shit.
Hopefully no one rushes the stage this time.
I got like 4 hours sleep last night. Seriously, I'm on pins and needles! I will have a full report for everyone on Monday.

Quite frankly, this was one hell of a year. More about that a bit later, but let's go ahead and kick off the end-of-year-listage with the best gigs of 2008!
1) Underworld @ Virgin Mobile Festival - Baltimore, MD
What I said at the time: Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy
Not only was this the best show I saw all year, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Period. It was thoroughly mind blowing. My expectations for this could not have been higher but Underworld still blew me away. All concerts should be like this.
[MP3] Underworld | Beautiful Burnout
BUY: Underworld: Everything, Everything
2) Oasis @ Virgin Festival - Toronto, ONT
What I said at the time: Craziness erupted at the Oasis gig in Toronto tonight when during "Morning Glory" some punter somehow got onstage, and gave Noel a mighty shove into the monitors directly in front of him before turning and going after Liam. Luckily security corralled the guy before he could do any more damage to the band and the gig.
Photo superstardom for yours truly! I was totally crushed that I didn't get to shoot Oasis from the pit, but because I didn't, I happened to have my camera out when Noel was attacked on stage. The resulting shots were published all over the world.
[MP3] Oasis | To Be Where There's Life (live Wembley Arena 10/16/08)
BUY: Dig Out Your Soul
3) Radiohead @ Nissan Pavilion - Fairfax, VA
What I said at the time: It rained. Alot. A hell of a lot. More than you've ever seen. Ever. Almost four inches. Seriously, it was one of the biggest storms in D.C. history. And we stood outside during it and watched Radiohead. The "rain down" part of the "Paranoid Android" suddenly has new meaning to me.
Fuck. I don't think I'll ever forget this gig. It led to my first-ever photos in the Post and a whole bunch of other work. Oh yeah, and it rained. A hell of a lot. More than you've ever seen. Ever. I cannot stress this enough.
