Strange band names

Apparently there is a hardcore metal band called KillWhitneyDead.

Loving: Vintage records

Love is listening to Fleetwood Mac on a circa 1980 record player and dancing like a maniac around your room.

Loving: NPR Live Concerts

Sometimes I get sad that I’m not living in DC anymore and don’t get to attend concerts at great venues like 9:30 Club, Black Cat and Rock and Roll Hotel. Luckily NPR has the good will to go out and record some of the best acts that come through the city. Yes, it’s not the same as actually being there and I have many more opportunities to see shows in LA, but they’re free and portable. Some of the latest recordings feature Rilo Kiley, Animal Collective and Bishop Allen, but they have archives back through 2005. I love you Bob Boilen.
