George Washington By Meho Plaza

So... Meho Plaza, the album by Meho Plaza has been on my ipod for a while now and I figure it is time to share a couple of tracks that have been sticking in my head of late. In case you are unfamiliar, Meho Plaza are from LA and they play noisy synth driven rock n' roll.

Listen:
"George Washington" (box.net mp3)
"Your Future Looks Bright" (box.net mp3)

- I had a chance to check out Pop Tarts Suck Toasted's 4th Anniversary show on Saturday. Who rocked? Boy Genius (They have a whole early 90's Western Mass Indie + Harmonica + Harmonies thing happening), Brilliant Sweaters (I hear they like Green Day, haha... seriously they have the whole power pop thing down), and N** Y*** T***** (They're awesome. An old GT post is here). I did miss The Great Unwashed, and after checking out their myspace I was pissed I didn't get there earlier. Take a listen: "Mirage A La Mode" (box.net mp3)

Rattled By The Rush By Pavement

So I must say. I am pretty underwhelmed by this recent Pavement reunion talk.

Me, I like their studio recordings.

Compare these apples and oranges:
"Rattled By The Rush" (matador mp3)
"Rattled By The Rush (Live)" (youtube)
"Heckler Spray/In The Mouth Of A Desert (Live)" (matador mp3)

So if you are all psyched to see Mr. Nastanovich get his groove on, that's fine. I just don't think I'll be paying steep prices for no 90's indie rock nostalgia. The Pixies were enough for me.
