Must. Stop. Watching. Tenori-on. Youtube Videos. Must. Try to. Post something. Thoughtful and/or insightful. Can’t. Be. Done. Damn. Oh well, this is a good chance to praise a fellow Austin blog who has basically been typing out what I have been thinking as of late. Big ups, raise the roof and mad propz go out to NITES. The site, in addition to providing damn fine record reviews, also takes a DV cam out to Red River now and then to capture some good performances to put up. It’s really weird how good the reviews have been recently. First up, he wrote a stunning blurb on ex Laughing member Abram Shook’s new vehicle the Great Nostalgic.  Check it out HERE.  Head over there and grab the sample track The Kingdom. NITES then hits the nail on the head with their praise of the new Paper Chase album Someday This Could All Be Yours (Vol. 1) stating that the band “is as anxious and as paranoid as ever, but with a greater sense of hunger and purpose behind their jagged and menacing brand of dissonant pop-rock.” Read the whole review HERE.

Ok- back to saving up money to buy a Tenori-on. Luther and I might have to sell the official ‘PartyEnds ping-pong table/charcoal grill all in one combo’ to get some scratch for one of these crazy Japanese music toys. Read more about the Tenori-on over at another great website: Feminist Music Geek.
