Bill Raid: January 2009

Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Monday, January 26, 2009. Brandon Carlisle (Teenage Bottlerocket) Interview (September 2008). How exactly does it feel to be so huge, at least in pop-punk terms? You guys were in Spin a couple months ago and the shows have gotten a lot bigger lately. There’s been a revival the last couple years, how do you feel about it? Stammering) Wow, ha, I’m a deer in headlights. I think it’s great, it’s awesome. Earlier in t...

Bill Raid: December 2009
http://billraid.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Saturday, December 19, 2009. 1 Pissed Jeans - King of Jeans (Sub Pop). If 2008 was the year of great anticipation and ultimately crushing disappointment (anticipating college graduation followed by the actual aftermath), 2009 was the year of apathy and shrugged shoulders, as summed up perfectly by the repeated mantra of "False Jesii Pt 2." "I don't bother/I don't bother" the line goes. This is life? Somehow the r...

Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Chronic Seizure - Live WHPK 7". Chronic Seizure - Live WHPK 7". To steal from my own review, Chronic Seizure write actual SONGS instead of simply slapping four chords on top of a fast 4/4 drum beat. As well as "Violent Opposition" all the way back from the Brainsick. 7" The performances are pretty representative what you'll get from a CS live set; awesome. The sound on the 7" sound...

Bill Raid: June 2008

Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Thursday, June 12, 2008. June 12, 2008. Another month passes and I finally get back in the damn booth. The office has been pretty bat shit insane for the last month, sometimes in good ways sometimes in bad ways. Since I'm not a fan of shooting myself in the foot I'll leave it at that. Over the last month I've been slowly reading The Day The Country Died. Die Kruezen - Dirt and Decay. The Methdones - Ammunition.

Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Monday, November 17, 2008. I sort of saw Articles of Faith last night. Oh hell, let's have Vic tell you the story in his own words. What did we do without YouTube? Seriously, how fucking lucky was I to see this? I'm going to steal a quote from my good buddy John Duggan to sum it up - "I never thought I'd have Vic Bondi shoving a mic in my face.". November 18, 2008 at 2:14 AM. November 18, 2008 at 8:53 PM.

Play list archives, interviews, record reviews, other shenanigans stuck on a stupid Web URL. Friday, February 27, 2009. Last Chinese Telephones show. Borg Ward, 2/26/2009. I would've been better off walking. I missed the 1:30 train and had to kill an hour in the Metra station at LaSalle. Oh well. Tiny Jerry in amongst the fog. Jen and Jason trying the samples at the front. Oh novelty bumpers sticks, how I've missed you. Pictures like this are why the term "FIBs" exists. So back to the show. Possible ...
