I made a minor splurge on purchasing music online the past few weeks. I lucked out and downloaded five EXCELLENT albums from Itunes which are now on heavy rotation on my Ipod. In the interests of sharing news and info about good—no GREAT—music to the world, I decided to devote this blog post to extolling the positive vibes that I got from listening to these albums.

Without further adieu, here is the Liberal Arts Dude’s capsule reviews of five great albums. Some of them were released a while ago and some are recent releases. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed listening to and writing about them. (more…)

Angry Asian Man alerted readers that filmmaker Tadashi Nakamura will be releasing a documentary this month on the life and musical work of 1960′s folksinger and pioneer of Asian-American activism Chris Iijima. Here’s a link to the blog promoting the documentary which has the link to download the mixtape.

They didn’t touch on all of my questions but were gracious enough to provide answers to the ones that dealt with the March 19 Two Sides Live concert, the Villains album and deciding to go indie, and what the future holds for the band.

marchgigposterOne of my most enduring rock n’ roll/blogging fantasies just came true and being currently located in the U.S., I am unable to take advantage and actually show up for it to happen!

I just got word that a concert will happen in Manila on March 2009 at the Music Museum. The event will be called “Two Sides Live.” The concert will be **drumroll** Wolfgang and Razorback playing TWO SETS EACH — with one set entirely acoustic!

Being the huge Wolfgang AND Razorback fan that I am, this is an opportunity that I will be an idiot to miss (I am being offered an opportunity to attend the concert for free as a blogger). (more…)
