Update-ology

Update-ology - n. 1. the practice of updating people on things that they care about, or may care about if they knew of the existence of these things. 2. the study of this practice. 3. a word I just made up. (example: "Susan is working toward a career in update-ology.")



Now, let's use what we just learned!



New in the store this week:



Suburban Vermin - 16th Nervous Breakdown EP : Remember when punk was just good, clean fun made by young people with excess energy and a penchant for playing fast and loud? Don't let the song title "Go West" fool you--this is punk with a hardcore bent most influenced by the great East Coast/D.C. scene of the mid-1980's. So there is lots of yelling, lyrics about homemade hand grenades, and lots of adrenaline. You should check this out. www.myspace.com/suburbanvermin





The Hugs - S/T and Again and Again : Popular in their hometown of Portland, OR, and nearly just as popular across the pond in Great Britain, The Hugs are set to go off like a powder keg. Combining some of the best musical qualities of indisputably amazing bands like The Strokes, Figurines, and The Lemonheads, they've already received lots of accolades from lots of very influential people. Just get used to it: if you like Rock and Roll, this is about to be your favorite band. www.myspace.com/thehugsgowild





So this weekend will be quiet on the live music front. It is probably a good thing, as I, for one, am still recovering from the amazing one-two punch from last weekend. But, don't worry: I will be good to go when Cock and Swan comes back to town next weekend, on Sat. 1/23 @ 5pm (w/ Brad Dunn)! And a week after that, Jukebone lays down the blues/punk law all over us (Sat. 1/30 @ 5pm)...



Stay tuned...always more in the works!
