Love In October on Uncensored Interview! 2008-03-05 12:53:00 We love Uncensored Interview. It's great to hear these clips of band interviews. Roll your mouse over a picture below and you'll hear them. Read more:October
Persepolis 2008-02-25 16:20:00 Yesterday, as a favor to my brother who makes comicbooks, I was dragged along to see the movie Persepolis. I had seen about 1/3 of a 30 second commercial for it the night before, but other than that I was completely in the dark as to what to expect. It was awesome. I give it three snaps in a Z formation.It's based on the comic and life of Marjane Satrapi, who grew up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. As she eventually moves to France, the film is in French, but it's subtitled in English, so no worries. The entire film is also animated, but it's definitely not a kid's movie. There's a great balance between historical context and the character development of the quirky, outspoken, punk loving Marjane. It's a refreshing departure from other recent releases, and it's a far far reach from
Planetary never breaks for snow 2008-02-22 14:23:00 When your city is covered in at least four inches of slush, at least a thousand pounds of soaked garbage and probably two tons of salt-which destroys your shoes, not snow-I like to imagine being somewhere else.Like here, in France with Beirut, one of my favorite bands.

from the WTF file.... 2008-02-21 14:30:00 Someone in Japan had far too much time on their hands and made this ridiculously awesome song using only Windows sound effects.
Head Of Femur graffiti? 2008-02-20 21:19:00 I guess I see Head Of Femur references everywhere.www.myspace.com/headoffemur

Things I'm Currently Rocking 2008-02-12 11:48:00 As if the world really cares at all what sort of things I'm into, I have decided for blogging purposes to compile a short list of things I am really into at the moment. Enjoy....1. SweetTart Valentine's Day HeartsBasically, we all know SweetTarts rule, but their version of candy message hearts rule harder because they are infinitely better than those chalky, disgusting ones that come in that little box. The sayings aren't that great, but they are festive and won't make you want to vomit while eating them like those other ones. I mean, who actually likes those ones anyway?2. The Acme Heart MakerSpeaking of Valentine's Day themed things, one of my favorite things to do this time of year to show your friends and loved ones you care is making them a customized candy heart at the Acme Heart Read more:Currently
Hey there Planetarians! 2008-02-05 18:39:00 I'm Casey and I just started interning with these fine people. I'm a recent transplant to NY, originally from Boston. What's on my ipod you ask? Well I'll tell ya! Against Me's New Wave, and....that's it. I just got it and could only figure out how to put one album on it. Nevertheless, it's a really good album. I'm also really feeling The Avett Bros new album Emotionalism and Deer Tick's self titled. Other fun facts about me: My favorite word is trouser, my favorite fictional band featured in a movie, television show, or mini-series is a tie between The Beets from Doug and Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters from That Thing You Do. My favorite tv shows are The Office, Heroes, and Mythbusters, and my favorite Snapple flavor is Blueberry Iced Tea. That's pretty much me in a nutshell.
Daniel Merriweather 2008-01-16 09:18:00 Ok, I have lots of work to do, so I can't stay long, but this song is incredible. Honestly, I was a little disappointed when I searched out more of Merriweather's work, but just this song is enough for me to remember his name and keep checking in on him. I found this on Soundslam, so you can find more there. I should get back to work.Daniel

No title 2007-12-11 11:01:00 I have no words to describe this. Neil Young, done by a German disco band called Boney M. (I think that's their name. Would anyone choose to have a name that terrible?)I got this from Domino Rally.

Viva Las Vegas 2007-11-12 19:02:00 You should click play before you begin reading this.Last week, Planetary made an official trip to the greatest show on earth. Dany, Adam, and I went to The Blogworld And New Media Expo in Las Vegas
. We shared a booth with Blogcritics and went to more than our share of panels on everything from how to be a critic, to how to grow capital for your new media business. The weather was great, and we made friends and money. (I made 17 whopping dollars!)I also found Chuck Woolery, Carrot Top, The World's Biggest Gift Shop, and a dirty club to grow old in.

SXSW Recap 2008-03-21 14:49:00 Well, another SXSW is behind us and as usual, I'm beet and could go a year before I see BBQ again. As usual, saw some great bands, including Elf Power, Cloud Cult, Red Romance, TAT, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, American Princes, Kaki King, Moby, Throw Me The Statue, and a whole bunch more. Unfortunately, I'm pretty new to the idea of owning a camera, so at most shows forgot to take pictures, but below are some photos from highlight shows.Min Mae from Portland played a great set at the Yarr!/Grey Day party. If Neil Young played Shoegazer. Good stuff. its always nice seeing bands play outside in the middle of the afternoon.Later that night i caught Kaki King for the first of two shows last week. Her live set always blows me away, and yet another show outside. I love Austin.The next time Read more:Recap
SXSW pre-post post posting. 2008-04-03 15:16:00 Ok, I've been meaning to make a sxsw post, but life has gotten in the way, so it's not coming easily. Anyway, what more can I say but one phrase.No no, not that phrase. Try "Motorhead."
Live Concert Spoiler Alerts. 2008-05-01 21:05:00 Remember when you first saw Titanic, and you knew right away that most everybody was going to die? When you can see the end right from the beginning, it's something of a spoiler alert.The same thing happened last night at Planetary/Stranded in Stereo's club night at Rehab. Since the singer of Breaking Laces looks like this:and Ben Gibbard looks like this:I already hand a notion that they were going to play a Death Cab for Cutie song. And they did, and it was great, but come on. His glasses and haircut totally gave away the final song even before they started playing it.You should know from the beginning that the Planetary/SIS club nights are always going to be fun, and thus you should join us next month (May 28th) at Rehab for another round of it.
