A live update

Hello all. I seem to have taken a year-long hiatus without ever intending to, but my musical life has definitely not taken a break in that time frame. Since May of 2008, I have experienced the glory of Pitchfork Music Festival, fallen completely in love with the Fleet Foxes and Department of Eagles, discovered Under the Radar Magazine, totally freaked out at the Radiohead tour, and reached the "30,000 songs listened to" mark on Last.fm. Oh yea, and I received my degree from OU in magazine journalism, relocated to Columbus, and began writing for Metromix Columbus.

This new writing gig (new as in new to this blog; I've been writing for MM since November 2008) has proven to be the perfect excuse for me to delve into the Columbus music community and become involved in a meaningful sense. Check out my Columbus local music guide for 2009 here.

Bands on the guide include:

Super Desserts
Couch Forts
Brainbow
The Hot Damn
RTFO Bandwagon

Any a few more! Also, feel free to look at some follow-up bands I've gotten really into since putting together the guide: the Andy Shaw Band, the Lost Revival and Karate Coyote.

More photos from Karate Coyote coming soon!
