I've been made fun of a lot lately for running this song into the ground. My excuse: The Faint is coming to Street Scene this year! Actual reason: I'm obsessed. The line up is pretty insane though, check it out here.

The fairgrounds are finally done with American Idols. This late summer lineup took me by complete surprise as I saw kicking off the first show, this Friday, is G. Love & Special Sauce. With his mellow, but harsh attitude, his live show should be very entertaining. Also, due for an appearance in August, with their infamous stage show, is the Flaming Lips. Local favorite Pinback will also be playing in late August and mellow sylist Pete Yorn shows up in September.
The most amazing part about these shows is that they are all free. Just be at the fairgrounds right when the last race finishes, which is usually around 7 PM, and stick around for the tunes.
Lineup is below.

After seeing Cuckoo Chaos at the Casbah a few weeks ago, I told Jackson "I keep expecting to not be super into one of your projects..." Yet again, that was not the case. Cuckoo Chaos is built on the songwriting of Scott Wheeler accompanied by Jeremy Scott (The Paddle Boat) on drums and Single Screen Records duo Craig Barclift and Jackson Milgaten on Bass and Guitar. Their fast-paced indie folk combined with four part vocal harmonies had me hooked from the first song.
This afternoon around 1pm we'll be filming a live set by Cuckoo Chaos at Luce Loft. If you're downtown on your lunch break or looking to cure your unemployment boredem, cruise down and hang out for an hour.

I listen to Yppah when I paint sometimes or need to relax. I recently got their new album They Know What Ghost Know and I'm liking what they did with the music video for "Gumball Machine Weekend". I think I've had dreams about this lil guy.
