Ahoy! It be speak like a pirate day! Well this buccaneer originally wasn’t goin’ to loot and plunder this island but due to a weird swashbucklin’ schedule, but it looks as though I be attendin’ Day One of da second annual Treasure Island Music Festival tomorrow! ARG! Aye, I have never laid eyes on any of these scallywags live. So I be quite excited to see TV on the Radio, Hot Chip, Foals, Aesop Rock, and da all mighty Justice slash up da stage! Yo-ho-ho! Da festival’s previous line-up included such sprogs like M.I.A., Cut Chemist & DJ Shadow, Spoon, and Modest Mouse. So I shall go on the account and commondeer a privateer to sail da high seas to Treasure Island! Raise da jolly roger! Shiver me timbers!
(If yee is to comment, yee must do so in ‘pirate speech’)
Roar! Kata Rokkar news! Okay…so this September is jam packed with upcoming shows and little updates here and there.
XChannel andTotally Fuzzy have recently been so kind as to add us to their blog roll. The sites are literally oversized mp3 blog databases. Feel free to browse through their library of unique mp3 blogs and discover some interesting tunes.
Yesterday I created a Facebook Page to promote the site and let like-minded people discuss whatever they feel like. So go ahead and become a fan. You will instantly become cooler, seriously.
This weekend I will be attending Day One of the Treasure Island Music Festival which includes Justice, TV on the Radio, Foals, Amon Tobin, Aesop Rock, CSS, and many others. More on that tomorrow…
On the 25th I’ll be at the Woven record release show at the Rockit Room in San Francisco. The interview with lead vocalist Ory Hodis will be up sometime next week.
My entire collection of photos from the Outside Lands Music Festival is right here.
Well the Ipod commercials have yet again made some random indie band hit mainstream status once again. This time around it’s Chairlift. This electro-folk trio hails from (obviously) Boulder, Colorado and is making me even more excited for snowboard season. I digress; if you’re into a gothic version of MGMT or a modern day Siouxsie & the Banshees, look no further. This act will satisfy your chillaxing needs.
Oh yeah and the new Ipods don’t look too shabby either.
Kata Rokkar is a place where you can download free mp3 from artists and bands that I currently love and listen to. They are only for sampling purposes and to influence you to go out and support these artists by purchasing their records and going to their concerts. If you are a record company or an artist that is displeased with a song being displayed, feel free to contact me and I will remove it ASAP. Thank you and enjoy!
