Apparently this CD won’t be getting a whole lot of airplay on your favorite radio station. I do remember Sole doing some cool things.

Ryan Says is a weekly column featuring pithy things that Ryan writes on tape about various records that come in to KUCR.

Real talk. I went to the MIA + Cool Kids show last Thursday. If you can’t afford the ~$30 tickets, don’t worry, I can help you recreate the experience. First, sit real close to the monitor, turn off the lights, and watch this video:

Okay, now imagine that a few hundred people are cheering and waving their hands at various climactic points in this video. That was literally the first three minutes of the MIA set: three massive monitors playing a youtube clip and people screaming and laughing in disbelief at what they were seeing.

ASPB presents the Fall 2007 Concert: Rilo Kiley!

Rilo Kiley is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock band fronted by Jenny Lewis (vocals) and Blake Sennett (guitar) – you might have seen some of the band playing with the Postal Service, Bright Eyes, the Elected, and The Watson Twins. Their music has also been played on Grey’s Anatomy, The O.C., and they rock!

This is the final stop on their US Tour before they head to Europe – so you don’t wanna miss out on this one!

ASPB presents – right off their Summer ’07 release Below The Heavens: Blu and Exile!

Below the Heavens is the debut album by hip hop duo Blu & Exile . Prior to the release, the duo’s DJ/producer Exile had released a solo album named Dirty Science, handled production for the likes of Mobb Deep, and produced two albums as a member of the duo Emanon. For Blu, however, the album is a true debut, as he’s only been recording music since 2004.

Special note from dex: I saw these dudes some time ago, and can personally cosign on this event. The album is nice, and their shows are good. Plus, it’s free! I’ll be there.
