The next Bluestate is March 11th.

Unbuckled tonight. The Agenda tomorrow. Come get your leaf on.

Here are some Mylo MP3's for you via RCA:
Muscle Cars
Drop The Pressure

Best Buy had a ton of Mylo CD's in stock last night. Which is more than I can say for their William Orbit stock.

That's all I got for today. I'm like, busy and stuff. Come have a beer tonight and we'll hang out then. I'm gonna play the new Morrissey single like 14 times.

Caught the Wiz / Twolves game last night. Gilbert Arenas is bananas and Marcus Banks is his bitch. Went home and watched the C's win their fifth road game of the year in Utah. Wally got hurt in the first, but PP and Delonte picked it up. PP is leading the league in scoring in the month of February.

Listening to the new William Orbit album Hello Waveforms over at AOL(which has a ton of good albums available to stream) and it is teh hotness. Much more accessible than Pieces In A Modern Style. If you liked any of his Strange Cargo records, you'll love this. In the interest of full disclosure (and name dropping), I used to help manage William. And by "help manage", I mean did tons of paperwork, arranged for his gear to be shipped all over the world, talked to Dido and Gwen Stefani on the phone, delivered things to him at the studio and took one for the team every once in a while and kept Beth Orton company. Yes, it was a very demanding job. And I never got my gold record for Pieces In A Modern Style dammit.

Best! I have some decent bootlegs of this song but a studio version would be nice.

Woah. Nice move.

Get drunk with Morrissey. Also, new fan Q & A over at True To You dot net.

How do you go about choosing songs for your forthcoming tour?
Simon, Durham.

I usually pick the songs that I'm sure people would least like to hear. And I'm never wrong. If I don't give people something to complain about then I've failed.

I think we all want a cleaner, quieter leafblower. I know I do.

In case I haven't mentioned this before, I am DJing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Tomorrow night is Unbuckled 2.0, Friday night is The Agenda and I'm doing a private party on Saturday. I can't wait until Sunday. Here's the Unbuckled flyer in case I haven't posted this yet.

Come get your leaf on!

Nethers @ Black Cat tonight. I'll be there with camera locked and loaded but I doubt I'll get any good pics in the Backstage.

Nethers play the Knitting Factory in NYC tomorrow with The Like, so if you're in the Big Apple, be sure to check them out.

A whole bunch of new Yeah Yeah Yeah MP3's.

It appears the Pistons are about to cut bait on Darko and ship him to the Magic with Carlos Arroyo for Kelvin Cato and a first round draft pick (lotto protection TBD). At what point does Teflon Joe Dumars start ctaching heat for his lousy draft record? Mateen Cleaves and Rodney White say hi. Check out these quotes about Darko [via Deadspin] some of which are pure gold, but sadly doesn't include Rasheed's "Darko is straight up gangsta" quote. But still fun to read. Related: Why does Chad Ford still have a job?

Also, I like the Vlad Rad for Chris Wilcox deal. For the Clippers. They need outside shooting in the worst way.

I'm with you.

Happy Birthday!

Love it, this too. Respect. Also: Related.

One extra day for Lollapalooza.

Robot funerals and spitting pennies. Best.

Uh-oh! Look out Mr. Pink. Related: Mr. Pink went to the vet on Monday and he has gained five pounds in 7 months! Yikes! Guess who is now on a diet? I also bought a lazer pointer for hours of kitty fun disguised as exercise.

So here is the deal. Natalya and I have a new DJ night (because, you know, we aren't DJing enough) each and every Friday night at the Cue Bar on U Street. We kind of did a soft launch last week (a beta test if you will) and now it's gonna be a full time gig. Music, beer, food, pool, darts, ping pong, we got it all. So come on down and get your Agenda on. Admission is free.

Aha, that's more like it! All praise the Grizz!

Tablet Mac or new iPod?

This was the only reason to watch the Grammy's. I wish I would have seen it even if it sounds a bit anticlimactic.

Oh wait, it doesn't look like many people watched.

No shit sherlock.

W00t!

Also, this just in from the fine folk at Earfarm...They have informed us that Mancino will be playing a free show at Chief Ike's Mambo Room on Saturday. "But leafblower, why is this notable?" you may ask, and I'm glad you did. Apparently singer/guitarist Mike is "a big time Celts fan." Say no more!

Went and saw Feist last night. I have a review up at DCist.

Say what? The grammy's were on last night? I missed them. Wait, let me guess, u2 won alot and Bono wouldn't shut up. Am I right?

It's the Wu comin' through...

Radiohead to play London.

Current obsession Matt Pond PA at the 930 club in March. That's the night I get back from my snowboarding holiday. I'll have to play that one by ear. Only $10 though...

PP is an All Star but Kendrick Perkins separated his shoulder in practice. What a craptastic season this has been.
