Month: December 2009

Goodbye 2009!

Posted on December 31st, 2009 in Local, MP3, Music.

Quick pictoral recap of Monday’s Neon Indian show featuring Yeahdef, Fizzy Dino Pop, and Ishi brought to you by Ben Smithson, check out his Flickr for more photos from the event. I was planning on writing something more in depth up, but getting sick got the better of me.

FIzzy Dino Pop performing his latest music accompanied by a video mashup of Jurassic Park, Tron, Bill and Ted, and more. He just released a free single as well, scroll down to check out a track from the single and to download the single for free!


Ishi [MySpace] took the stage right before Neon Indian and got the crowd into the party mood. I hear it was their first time to play in front of a crowd as large as the one on Monday night, but had I not heard that I would have never questioned it.

Finishing up the night, of course, was Neon Indian. Having just returned from globetrotting and spreading their music, they put on a great show. Neon Indian has a new album out now on both CD and vinyl. You can get their new album at one of their live shows (next local show @ Hailey’s in Denton on Janurary 30) or you can get it through Amazon. I picked up a vinyl copy at the Granada show.

I also got an email on Monday from Marcus D with a new beat that he is releasing for free. I’ve been a fan of Marcus D since a little before his first CD was released. Not only does he have solid production skills, but he has also teamed up with the likes of Substantial on several occasions.

Fab Deuce – Deuce Knuckle CD Release

Posted on December 27th, 2009 in Local, MP3, Music.

Last night was the Fab Deuce CD release party at Hailey’s in Denton. We showed up right before Parable Paul went on so we got to catch Parable Paul, Vortexas, and Fab Deuce. I meant to grab my camera before I headed out, but as you can see by the picture quality I didn’t. Enjoy the technological beauty of cell phone pictures and meet me down below.

I’ve already talked a bit about Fab Deuce before when I told you about the show, so I’ll just send you over to the Fab Deuce MySpace to get a dose of more music and more information if you want it. I also included two tracks from their new album below which they put out for free. I could go on and on about how much I like Deuce Knuckle, but I’ll let the music speak for itself. Download the two songs below for free here.

Fab Deuce – No Good

What surprised me the most? A guy from Tucson, AZ, Parable Paul. He had a great vibe going with his set and all of the production behind him was straight out of the 90s. I wasn’t able to dig up any free tracks from Parable Paul, but I did come across a track by Habeas Corpus that features Parable Paul and Pudge. Give it a listen, but make sure to stop by Parable Paul’s MySpace to hear some of his tracks. After last night at Hailey’s I can say I’m an instant fan.

Random other bits: DDR CAR, WTF!?
DDR Car
I’m just minding my own business on 121 and this masterpiece of a Sentra creeps by. I posted it on Twitter and someone apparently knows who the owner of that car is. I’ll have to follow up on that one.

Tomorrow: Neon Indian with Ishi, Fizzy Dino Pop, and Yeahdef at the Granada Theater in Dallas.

Snow on Christmas Eve

Posted on December 24th, 2009 in Life, Music.

I woke up today at 1 PM (the ONLY time to wake up in my book) and found that it was snowing outside. This is Dallas, snow is like spraying a can of Raid all over the city to these people. At first it wasn’t sticking and people were simply driving slow and terrible for no reason, but once five rolled around the snow was sticking pretty well to the ground. I got back to my place around six and snapped some pictures of the snow around the complex.

Then after pictures I kicked my shoes off in a fit of wet-cold rage, fixed my back door, rolled up my wet pant legs and put on one of the Dethklok albums that I got for Christmas from my awesome girlfriend. I don’t know if this is a common problem, but Dethalbum is very very quiet, I have to gain it all the way and it still doesn’t hit the 0 on my mixer. Dethalbum II is fine, but not quite sure why Dethalbum is so quiet.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, all of that. If you need something to listen to while you sip on a warm or alcoholic beverage this Christmas Eve then check out the GoodGroove Podcast #3, included below for your listening enjoyment.
