the pipettes are coming back to dc! they played a quite crowded show at blackcat back a few months ago now, but this time they are doing it big at 9.30club. hopefully, unlike last time, the crowd will actually get into it. the pipettes have to much energy to be wasted on another dead dc audience. petrov is hoping for the best. They were just confirmed for October 10th.
The Pipettes - We are the Pipettes (SXSW)
those damn frenchies! actually petrov loves them (sorta) cuz they gots the tunes we all love that hit the dance floors . most recently petrov has fallen in love all over again over daft punk. a daft punk mix cd has made its way into petrov's new car and puts the premium audio system through its paces as he drives down the highway.
good news for petrov! Daft Punk is releasing a live cd of their June Paris show later this year (via NME). For a nice icing on the DP cake, expect a new video too for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".
petrov won't put you through another DP song, he may have already put too many DP entries into this blog.
not Miss South Carolina. (via Privacy is a Thing of the Past)
Pink - Stupid Girls
The District's Awake Music Festival (DAM! Fest) announced some of the main performers appearing at this year's festival. Most notably... Cat Power. Petrov loves Cat Power, but he is sad that he will be in Africa on her night on stage at the 9.30 club. oh wells, petrov hopes ya'll enjoy the show though. (and no petrov doesn't get the video either).
Cat Power - Living Proof
not to be confused with from petrov's post "from alt.country to porn star" (here). Rilo Kiley has released a new video. petrov may be developing a mild crush on Jenny Lewis, just an fyi.
Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining
petrov has been very busy this week with the purchase of a new vehicle. sadly his car now has a better sound system than either sound system in his house. so to the car for new music!
anywho... here is a song for your listening pleasure. This is off Tunng's new cd "Bullets" which will be released Aug. 27th in the UK and Sept 25th in the US. Why can't they just release it everywhere at the same time? its not like its not the 21st century or anything. enjoy
Tunng - Bullets
Petrov has been a busy little beaver the past week. His car shopping has gone into full gear and has seemed to preoccupy any of his free time. However, last night Petrov thinks he found the car for him. So today it is off to the credit union and to await the lesbian's daddy's opinion on the car (he is a car dealer). If all goes as petrov would most like.... he'll have a new car by week's end. 
This past weekend Petrov went to a lakehouse in western maryland where the redhead's high school friend and husband had a lakehouse for a couple weeks. said couple also had a weiner dog. petrov is no big fan of small dogs, but a weekend of watching a 7inch tall and 2ft long puppy run around as fast as he can make one turn.
As such, it seems appropriate to play "The Underdog" today. Spoon is coming at the end of October to Merriweather as opposed to previously planned 9.30 Club. A slight downgrade in venue. Anywho, that means petrov will probably not go, though the Africa trip will likely interfere with going even if Petrov wanted to. petrov has babbled enough for one day.
Spoon - The Underdog
