LA / LBC / OC
Long Beach’s Magic Lantern have finally gone and released a new sonic document after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. Eagerly anticipated by those who have been biding their time waiting for the band to get on with their uber limited cassette only and CD-R releases (their Self-Titled CD-R was limited to 30), “High Beams”, the band’s latest opus [...]

So I have been so consumed by work lately and getting dive certified for my upcoming trip that I haven’t been really going out, I think it has been 2 weeks since I’ve seen some live music (I’m not counting the band that was playing at Oktoberfest last weekend where I went to see the wiener dog races).
Lots of work + dive class at night = not going out and therefore a lack of posting
Also I haven’t really been digging that much new music either, the only new bands I have been listening to recently have been Tall Birds and Sunsplit.
I mentioned Tall Birds before, it’s the dudes from The Catheters new band. They just played LA last week, but I didn’t have the energy to go to the Knitting Factory (I hate that place) to check them out, I’m sure they’ll be back soon. KEXP recently made their song Internalize the song of the day on Sept. 20th for their “Song Of The Day” Podcast, which you can download from iTunes.
And Sunsplit is a husband and wife duo from the Oakland that I was turned on to by Erin at Can I Get A Receipt. They don’t have any downloadable tracks, so you’ll have to be content with streaming their songs on MySpace, where they recently added 2 new ones from an upcoming album.
Also I am digging the Emily Haines solo album “Knives Don’t Have Your Back”. My friends saw her at the Viper Room last week brown bagging it and said she was amazing (Scott at Autopia concurred) and then proceeded to rub in the fact that I bailed on going cause I was too tired.
