New Year Resolutions (Or, Things I Will Forget Tomorrow)

1. Project more confidence ("TRx is In the House!!")


2. Stop saying things like "...in the house."


3. Lose some wait. What? Mis-spelled? Don't know what you mean.


4. Bring more LIVE MUSIC to DTR!! We've got a heck of a start on this one, if I do say so myself...


5. Exercise...patience...and Work out...deep-seated psychological issues.


6. Post to the blog at least once a week. Wait a minute...


7. Listen to lots of great indie music made in the NW and for the NW. Check.


8. Bring back the used vinyl section. Working on it...


9. Get more posters. Seriously, who couldn't use more posters?


10. Drop a few pounds.



So, "What's new?", you ask? Well, this week sees a new (er, new-to-us) title from Anacortes/Bellingham post-punkers The Oregon Donor (www.myspace.com/theoregondonor). Released on Seattle's own Burning Building Recordings (http://www.bbrecordings.com/), A Pagent's End plays with dynamics, juxtaposing stadium-sized riffs and hooks with moments tense and claustrophobic but never alienating. Fans of Muse and Minus the Bear will probably decide that they NEED this album; the rest of you should seriously considering owning it, or at least checking it out. Drop on by sometime and take a listen! Also gaining serious headway on our live music for February--shows booked so far for Post Harbor (www.myspace.com/postharbor) and Devin Moore (www.myspace.com/devinemoore) with more on the way; more details coming soon, so stay tuned!


Laterz, alligaterz...
