Bringing the Lit Rock
It’s been a long crappy week. I know. Let’s listen to some music!
Check out this podcast on NPR’s World Cafe featuring two songs by The Airborne Toxic Event. The band take their name from a chapter in Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise. Cool. Lead singer guy is a journalist turned novelist turned song writer. (It’s worth listening to just to hear the intro: “Support for NPR podcasts comes from Pabst Brewing…”)
Here’s a third song: Sometime Around Midnight:

More songs at the band’s MySpace.
In Atlanta September 30 – The Loft @ Center Stage
Here’s a video, too. What the hell? Let’s go nuts.

Best band name of the year.
Chairman of Hitler Studies was probably too much.

I’ve really been meaning to go back and read White Noise. I thought about it a heck of a lot in the days after 9/11. Maybe this will finally get me to do it.

Music is a great antidote to a crappy week. I hope things get better soon!

Thanks, Heather. Music and a nice weekend are good 1-2 punch.
