So I posted the new arctic monkeys yesterday, I listened to it once, had an opinion, thought that I might have a better one after a second listen but then decided to listen to the rumble strips instead. I'm not into reviewing newly released albums because it's like forcing an opinion on someone before they really get a chance to hear it properly for themselves, like loads of people won't hear rumble strips "welcome to the walk alone" because it got a 4/10 in nme where, for example, wild beasts got 9/10 this week when they just happen to be in with this whole animal name trippy flavour of the month thing. So yes, I shant be reviewing it, I reserve this for live gigs that not everyone had the opportunity to be at. I have an opinion sure but ya know.

Anyway bottom line is I haven't posted much due to work/gigs/illness and any music finding energy I have going towards the indie/rock playlist but I feel like i'm all better now and want to review all the great gigs I've got in august and maybe even a retrospective on truck so I'll get this up and going.

New arctic monkeys single- Crying Lightning

Crying Lightning Listen/Download

Artist of the day- Fight Like Apes

Alright let's get this thing back on track, each day recently i've tweeted my artists of the day and sometimes I remember how refined my taste is.. and so i'm going to expand on them here, give people links to the music and info about them and stuff.































Fight Like Apes

I fell for the music before I even saw how hot the lead singer was! Brunette's with blue eyes I canNOT get enough of, so quit making out like I can yeah!

FLA are from Ireland, front by MayKay Geraghty with synths and keyboards thrown in with all the other usual band stuff. Each song musically has its own journey driven effectively by the keys and bass and the emotion filled wail of MKG, which at times is insane like on battlestations I've never heard a screech like it and i've seen little fish.

Her lyrics and style are part Hole, Giant Drag and something less definable, a little new young pony club with infinately more sex. This band are on the whole refreshing and don't take themselves too seriously and you know I dig random titles, some of theirs- How am I supposed to kill you if you have all the guns?, David Carradine is a bounty hunter whose robotic arms hate your crotch. And the best- You Filled His Head with Fluffy Clouds and Jolly Ranchers, What Did You Think Was Going to Happen?.

..Here's the torrent link to their only album to date..

Check them out and let me know what you're thinking and catch them live because I missed out on them at a festival earlier this year and it doesn't feel good trust me..

Outroversion Returns/Blalocks IRP July

O.K I'm back, I have the internet. For the next month or so I'll try and get things as back on track as poss. I have so much new music to get through so there will be a lot heading your way. Also plenty of gigs and festivals coming up for me- oasis, silversun pickups, birthday massacre, spinnerette, truck, summer sundae and dinosaur jr.

Hey everyone! Was a really great month for new music. So many albums came out and good albums at that.

So I'm sure you guys know I've been mentioning the website quite a bit lately. Well its finally up and everyone should take part in the community!

www.BlalocksIRP.com Make sure you check it out and introduce yourself in the forum. :)

I made this months list an extra large one simply because of that reason. I'm really excited at where this is going.

Also, next month is LOLLAPALOOZA. I will be there! Making a 14 hour roadtrip to enjoy all the great music in Chicago. Would love to meet some of you guys that download the playlist so if any of you happen to be there let me know! I'll make you a mix! :D

As always I'm still trading CD's with the community but I'm a bit behind sending them back. I haven't forgot you guys! I am actually still looking for a house in my town so don't have all my things together. Once I'm done moving I'll have them out soon. I promise! If theres anyone who would like to send me a CD please E-mail me at joshblalock@gmail.com and I'll return the favor! I've received quite a few lately, but no wall as of right now to put them on! Will keep you guys update on BlalocksIRP.com
