MUSIC NOTES:
- New Nocando mixtape is firrrrrre
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Lilith, Aeternum, 1980sprince, SiLM, Apex Realm, Stevie Crooks, Moonpool, FF, Derek Rogers, House Of Low Culture, Godflesh, Thou, Percee P, Miles Bonny, Dictator, Former Selves, Mormon Crosses, Rat Path, Bleeding Rainbow
- I know I've listened to that Bobby Meader Music album before but I enjoyed it alot more this second time around...Very relate-able lyrics
- Danger Inc. and Heavy Justic are both awful, awful band names
- I've had either a Lagwagon song or a No Use For A Name song from that Fat Wreck compilation stuck in my head for like 3 weeks now
- I finally made a bandcamp page for end of the summer and posted my most recent EP/demo that KP recorded, "Three": check it out endofthesummer.bandcamp.com
- Worst of the month: Foxfield (trying too hard), Damaged (painfully generic)
- Finally got around to checking out that 1970s Death band; pretty cool stuff
- Holy shit House Of Low Culture is sooooo heavy and dense and the music actually sounds like its album title...dark submergence
- Believe it or not that was the very first time I ever listened to Godflesh, despite it being like the exact type of 'industrial' music that I love and despite their relative popularity; how did I miss out on this for so long?
- Same thing with Thou, how did I never hear them at all before this month? So well put together, so deep...so much
- I love NSU, don't get me wrong, but "Yolanda's Rule" is a pretty goddamn pointless song
- Check out Dictator from SD if you see they're playing a show; one of my new favorite locals
- Kevin Greenspon's music never fails to hit my heart
- That was my first time ever listening to Tori Amos and it was exactly like what I expected
- Every time I've heard Terminal A being on a show it's with Sashcloth & Axes so I guess its appropriate that they did a split together...I'm not too big on either one of them however so whatever
- Mormon Crosses RIYL The Coltranes, Culture Abuse, Weed, etc
- Rod Stewart sucks
- The new He Whose Ox Is Gored is what's up
- Survay Says! kicks ass and the new album is a good display of that
- That Bleeding Rainbow album very well be my favorite album by an artist I didn't know of from all of last month. Solid stuff.

4/27/14 - (end of the summer)/Restaurnaut/M A T H/File Island/Nicole Kidman/Stay Cool Forever @ Manny's apartment at UCR
LIVE NOTES:
- I'm gonna miss Apathean. Anybody who missed them perform on this first go-round really missed out. I'm hoping they come back sooner than later.
- We were supposed to open up that show on the 5th but I woke up from my nap later than I meant to and everybody was all pissed at me and then we fucked up like half of our set too, it wasn't good
- Modern Traditions is a very good new local band and you should check them out
- The show we played on the 21st was alot better than our show on the 5th but my amp was all screwy; coulda been better but at least we finally debuted some of our new songs
- JJ did abstract noise shit using his car as the instrument at that house show; It was odd but very unique and cool
- I was somehow the least drunk person at that apartment show and I played last
MOVIES:
4/6/14 - "Wedding Crashers"

MOVIE NOTES:
