This is so very self serving,
but it would utterly fantastic if you kind folks would vote for Side One:
Track One in the Austin Chronicle's Reader Poll. All you have to do is
click
here,
fill out some information and then write me in under the media section for either Local Blogger
and/or Local Blog. Then we'll be best friends forever. Promise.
Alright, with that out of the way we can get on to bouncing happily to
Marnie Stern. The Kill Rock Stars artist has a new record that carries
the unfathomable title of This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So It
That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That, and it's
due out on October 7. My guess is that it should be good, but I
wouldn't try to go into the record store asking for it. You'll just
look crazy. Enjoy.

Stern - Transformer:
At just eight seconds over two minutes this gem really
doesn't waste any time letting you settle in and get
comfortable. Nope, straight from the start Marnie goes
with a Van Halen-esque guitar intro, and then at the moment
you think you know what will come next she quickly ratchets
up the pace to break neck speed just to see who can keep up.
My recommendation? Proceed with wild dancing before
clicking play since before you realize it you'll be right in
step with this wild tune.
Marnie's got a
lot of live material on Youtube that's been very poorly
recorded, so instead I went with what was officially made
for Every Single Line Means Something. Is it
just me or is the video shot like it belongs in the 90s set
to some grunge track?
