Tonight in Buffalo: Film Screening: Werewolves across America @ The Vault
PLUSPLUSPLUS A live performance by Viking Moses!
About the film:
What happens when you decide to opt out of the American Dream? Werewolves across America is a portrait of modern youth culture. The film stars nomadic folk icon Viking Moses who guides us through the world of the US DIY music scene. With him we meet a variety of characters - a young Lutheran priest, a Manhattan real estate agent and an ex-drug addict from Florida. All have chosen to reject the American Dream in search of something else - but what are they seeking and at what cost? Through the rich and ignored musical culture of DIY the film explores what it is like to live on the fringes of society in modern America. The film features performances from Deer Tick, The Shivers and Phosphorescent.

Tonight in Buffalo: Arrington de Dionyso’s Malaikat dan Singa @ The Vault Arthouse
Audio // “I Create in the Broken System”
Rejoice! Arrington de Dionyso is back in town with Malaikat dan Singa, a trance-punk ensemble with psychedelic levitating powers thanks to Arrington’s throat singing. yelping, grunting, and barking. Stylistically compatible bands on the bill: Not Wild Not the Flag, Pang, Organ Donor, and Pat Cain/Jim Abramson.
I’ll be there shooting for Impose, which has done an excellent job of covering Arrington with an album review, posting the K Records stream of the album, and this lengthy interview with photos provided by Calvin Johnson.
The Everywheres - “Easy Bells”
Nova Scotian psych poppy tune.
Mikal Cronin - “Change”
Ruth - “Polaroid/Roman/Photo”
Impose posted my latest concert photos from a night of Buffalo street art, hip hop, and break dancing called Cuts & Breaks.

Friend & Lover - “The Weddin’ March (I Feel Groovy)”
Did you watch last night’s Mad Men? Recognize the song “Reach Out of the Darkness” by Friend & Lover used in the last scene? I bet you’ve never listened to their full album… unless you grew up in a house with a vinyl copy like I did.
Poor guy who agrees to marry me; we’re going to sashay down the aisle to a weddin’ march.
Willie Nelson - “Pages”
Gawsh, I have so much Willie to listen to before I see him at the Hollywood Bowl (YEEEEP!) in August.
A reminder that it’s MAY with the latest Skatterbrain mix. The rain/snow combination weather in Buffalo today must be a figment of my imagination:
Now that we’ve got at least one whole foot planted firmly into the Springtime, it’s safe to bet that every monthly mix until September is going to be tailored to sunny days, warm nights, and racing hearts. May is a step in the right direction! Listen for new tracks this month from Giant Drag,…

Books of Love - “Space Time”
So it seems that Katy of Vivian Girls has a new music project, it’s a girl duo and this is the video for the first song they’ve recorded.
This song TOTALLY reminds me of “Earth Girls are Easy” by The N (Julie Brown) from the movie soundtrack of the same name.

Seapony - “Hangin’ Out”
