over the edge.

my show monday will probably not be happening since i will be at this:



to make up for my bail out i attempted to create a podcast last night on my computer. but then garageband made my harddrive go nutty and it crashed. therefore i'm just going to post the playlist and you can piece it together if you feel so compelled.


2007 has been a monumental year for me. i don't think i will ever fully absorb all that i have experienced and accomplished. i am so grateful for the adventures i took, the people i met, and the bands that took me under their wings and showed me the most sincere hospitality, and it only makes sense that i end the year where it all started...california.

it should also be down that all songs on this show were released in 2007, and 14 of the 18 bands i saw live.

to the bands:
1. classless reunion- broadway calls
2. you're the canyons- first to leave
3. camel bucks- comadre
4. the golden ghost- slingshot dakota

to december snows, letting go, and top shows of 2007:
5. christmas lights- paul baribeau
6. the lord of the ring & his fascist time keepers- des ark
7. the dream left behind- graf orlock
8. keep the car running- the arcade fire

to tour, inevitable heartbreak, and reunions related to such topics:
9. ring me to sleep- woods
10. jackson underground- sundowner
11. leave me (like you found me)- wilco
12. see him again- the ergs!

to some of the best bands i finally started appreciating in 2007:
13. breadwinner- smoke or fire
14. relative surplus value- the weakerthans
15. hurry up- meneguar
16. back in your head- tegan & sara

and, of course, to the music, because that's what brought us all together in the first place:
17. the uttica stare- the riot before
18. the boat- chuck ragan


and that's that.
after exams end on friday i'll be in new york.
the following week, dc.
the following week through the end of january, all over california.

see you in 8 weeks.
probably the same time.
definitely the same place.

yours truly,
kitchen sink radio.

12/03/2007 recap

on friday night chuck ragan said that music is the one thing that keeps our heads above water. and it's true; it is the one thing that will never stray from us. we will stray from it, someday. someday we'll go deaf, whether it's from too many shows or just old age. music will never leave you stranded. never.

1. Catastrophe- Rainer Maria
2. Enfilade- At The Drive-In
3. Amen & Boys- Stop It!!
4. 35, 45, Whatever- Eagle Bravo
5. Unfair- Pavement
6. Auburn- Friction
7. N.Y. State of Mind- Nas
8. Living Again- Cee-Lo
9. Be Gentle With Me- The Boy Least Likely To
10. Key To The City- The Lawrence Arms
11. Crawl- Alkaline Trio
12. Last Night In Town- Lucero
13. My Life Is At Home- The Promise Ring
