from DexJux.net:

On December 4th, Jeremy Fish's new art show "Ghosts of the Barbary Coast" will open in San Francisco at Gallery 50/24SF. The artwork depicts the post-goldrush slum that was S.F.'s Barbary Coast, and the violence, gangs, and prostitution that overran much of what is now Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach.

Aesop Rock created a new song called "Tomorrow Morning" to accompany Jeremy's show. The song will play in the gallery throughout the night. "Tomorrow Morning" was written and produced by Aesop Rock, contains additional chorus…

the following is a song by Chicago's own The Honor System.
I had almost forgotten how much I love(d) these guys.
sadly, they are no longer playing together.

for fans of: Jawbreaker, Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms,
The Broadways, etc.

Fool's Gold

it's been one thousand days
since I last saw you breathe
incarcerated
by the routines
etched
into the concrete

we all fall down
now we just hop around
drop hints for me to grow up
I beg you not to join up
mister, can you spell success?
pay your rent
pay your…

internet is still rickety-rackety.
be patient, please.

in the meantime,

here is a list of upcoming shows
I hope to attend in the Chicago area:

09/08 Busdriver & Abstract Rude
09/25 The Weakerthans
09/26 Built to Spill
10/05 WHY?, Dark Dark Dark, & AU
10/24 The Lawrence Arms
11/03 Pinback
11/05 The Mountain Goats & Final Fantasy
11/20 The Pixies

so, before I go on my intended rant about WHY?, I have to ask you
guys: has anyone heard of the French group called Tahiti Boy and The Palmtree Family? I discovered them because Tunde Adebimpe (of TV on the Radio)
is featured on one of their songs, and they're fucking amazing.
check out this video; I guarantee it's the best thing you'll
see all day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH7D1sVINsk

note: not all of their tracks are the fast/rockin'. a number of
them are slower, but all utilize a variety of instruments, from
mandolin to flute.

now, back to my regularly…

here is a mix that I made for a few of my friends whom I will
miss when I move. some songs from some of my favorite
artists for some of my favorite people…that sort of thing.
oh! and this shit is about friendship, bitches!

Billings ain't so bad

01. The White Stripes - We're Going to Be Friends
02. Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle
03. Bright Eyes & Britt Daniel - Let the Distance Bring Us Together
04. Arcade Fire - Wake Up
05. Graham Wright - Medicine Hat

after years of nagging, I finally caved & made a facebook.

I already don't use my myspace very much, and I probably wont use
my facebook much either, but there are some people that don't use
myspace at all, whom I would like to keep in touch with. this is of
utmost importance, as I am moving in a few weeks.

you can now add me on facebook here:

I have no idea how to work this futuristic face technology,
so I haven't done much with it.

which reminds me: if anyone can tell me how to turn
off…

here's a bit of the info I was going to mention the other day:

Busdriver released the video for Me-Time (With the Pulmonary Palimpsest).
directed by Hiro Murai, it is a hell of a good time. with each listen,
Jhelli Beam, the album from which Me-Time is taken, gets better and better.
go check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a0Y-CRx4nE

along with Jhelli Beam, another spot on my 'albums of the year' list has
been filled by Dragonslayer, the new album by Sunset Rubdown. most of you
know I am a huge SR & Wolf Parade fan.…

I planned on updating you all with some other music news,
but it has just come to my attention that, apparently,
the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, passed away today.

sources report that Michael, who was 50 years old, died
of a heart attack.

say what you want about Mr. Jackson, but I grew up with
his pop music and it will always hold a place in my
heart.

so long, old friend.
so long.

do you like to laugh?

yeah, neither do I, but in some circles it's quite the big to-do.
if I were the type of person to enjoy intelligent, belly-destroying,
"don't tell anyone but I may have wet myself", humor, I'd be suggesting
the album 'I am a Wonderful Man' by Michael Ian Black. some of you may
know Mr. Black from his stints on VH1 or even from his job as spokesperson
Sierra Mist. the rest of us know him from the beloved, and soon to be
released on dvd, sketch comedy program The State. (as well…

first things first, man, you're messing with the worst.
I'll be sticking pins in your head, like a fucking curse.

oh, wait. I mean…

first things first: I finally got my hands on the new Busdriver
album. it's called Jhelli Beam. it was released today. it is,
without a doubt, one of the best albums of the year. that's right,
it's fanfuckingtastic.

featuring production by the likes of Daedelus, Nobody, Omid, and
Nosaj Thing, the beats are top notch. there are guest emcee spots
by Mykah 9 & Nocando, and appearances from Nick T.…
