Kristen Sollee: August 6, 2006

  1. Shadowtime on MySpace

    I’ve finally given into MySpace. After two years of dragging my heels and refusing to post semi-nude pictures of myself next to a profile of carefully constructed likes and dislikes to showcase how cool I really am, I figured out a way to use the site without wallowing in total frivolity: music networking! Ok, so promoting a blog is somewhat better than cavorting as a MySpaceSlut, but there’s still some high levels of self-indulgence involved no matter what. However, having a Shadowtime MySpace page will put me in touch with more bands, more publicists, and more rock fans, which will increase readership along with my interview/review/article options. And then there’s also the obvious reason – its really fun! So check me out here on MySpace, friend me if you want, and give Shadowtime some sugar.

  2. Blood at the Knitting Factory

    Countdown to August 10th, for what I believe is this Japanese goth/VK group’s first New York City show!

  3. Fergie – “London Bridge”

    Due to radio overplay, I will soon grow to hate this very Gwen Stefani-ish track. But, for now, I’m totally down.

    Such a lady but I’m dancin’ like a ho!

  4. Bell Hollow at Mercury Lounge

    Looking forward to hearing some bittersweet mood music live for the first time at the Merc tommorrow.

  5. End of the Heat Wave

    For good, I hope…

  6. Bang Tango – “Someone Like You”

    A hit off their 1989 album Psycho Cafe, some may dismiss the track as hairband cheeze, although I prefer to refer to it as dark pop metal with deliciously dissonant vox.

  7. Faster Pussycat – “The Power and the Glory Hole”

    Cute title, good, solid, sleazy rnr song.

  8. Twilight of the Idols – “Infinity Hz”

    Sick remix by Chris Vrenna, who, incidentally, is touring in a Chewbacca suit as Gnarls Barkley’s drummer.

  9. Cheap Trick – “ELO Kitties”

    I never heard this glam stomper before Eddie Trunk’s radio show on 104.3.

  10. Drop Dead Festival 2006

    Less than a month away on Labor Day Weekend! Come and get your death rock on.
