Is this an act of civic terrorism?

It has been a sad couple of weeks watching this, the last real and UNIQUE part of Salt Lake fall to the all-mighty push of making this town look the same on every block.  In a Salt Lake Tribune article developer, Craig Mecham, said “"it won’t take long. They’re pretty dilapidated.” Ya think?  That was the charm and civic pride your demolished you asshat!  Now we get what?  Condos and retail space, both out of the price range of an economically hurting middle class.  Oh Wait!  Maybe Bush’s tax credits will all provide us with enough money to move into another condo park, which is no different that you would find anywhere else in town.  Only now the retail space won’t be filled with of unique shops and creative ideas as it was All of this is my own skeptic pessimism but we have seen things like this happen many times in this town.  We are now a town of holes: one where crossroads used to be, one over on main at about 2nd and now one in Sugarhouse.  That is what apathy gets you...holes.

Here are pictures of destroyed Utah cultural center.  I can’t wait for it to warm up so I can ride my bike past a construction zone every night.

An hour of new music and whatever else Mondays from 11p to midnight.

the small hours_owner of my honour - reminds me of nightmare of you and would kick more ass if they didn’t try to sound like morrissey so much but better than most things i get in the mail.
the whigs_right hand on my heart - why do all these bands sound like 80s deep-love-rock?  i don’t know either but the whigs are good because it isn’t moody like the cure (nothing wrong with it) but actually have a good pulse to them.  the album, mission control, is out now.
the kills_u.r.a fever - the kills are excellent if you like a bit of noise in your music.  bands this and the liars and maybe fiery furnaces are at their best when they can be somewhat coherent but not completely trying to be weird.  i like weird but i like to dance too.
chris walla_sing again - you may know chris as the guitarist from death cab for cutie and the wackiness the ensued when his laptop with all the tracks for the album was ceased at the border.  he plays about every instrument on the album and while it is good it is still not as listenable as death cab.  we have to wait a month or so from new music from that band.

the loved ones_sarah’s game - your typical fat wreck fair, much like lagwagon but then again lagwagon doesn’t sound like themselves these days.  the good thing about this band is there aren’t a lot of band representing this sound these days aside from maybe against me in any noteable fashion.
emigrate_new york city - this band is from the founder of rammstein and less industrial than the german outfit.  reminds me a bit of the jesus and mary chain but the lyrics are kind of cheesy.  though if you like rammstein why not?
hot chip_shake a fist - whether surfing the web or throwing a dance party hot chip works.  often simple beats and a whitened-down stevie wonder vocal by alexis the songs are extremely catchy and deserve all the hype as a live band as well as on their LPs or many, many eps and remixes.

sons and daughters_ chains - i first heard this band in 2004, the best year for music in this decade as far as i can tell, and they were simply great intense and beaty scottish rock.  i saw them open up for bright eyes and the crowd certainly wasn’t there for them and it reflected in their performance but i like them anyway.
louis xiv_tina - you could easily argue that hanging out with the killers didn’t do this band any favors but at least half the new album is still the great, f**k you inspired rock that came from their first album, the best little secrets are kept.  certainly not a band you would expect to come out of san diego but on this new album, slick dogs and ponies, louis do exactly what the killers did on their second album, grew up.  i am still a huge fan of louis xiv and can’t wait to see them next saturday to see if some of these songs light up for me performed live.

against me_stop - well, the age old question of whether you can be punk and sound like queen has been answered.  that combo should not be this catchy but you know for sure because all the old school fans hate this band now for trying to make a buck.  guess everyone can’t be starving artists forever.
vampire weekend_a-punk - this band is a sunny spot on a slow starting year and my one true recommendation for purchase so far.  from brooklyn and throws back to the obvious reference to guys that listened to graceliand too many times but more than that the album is completely listenable from front to back.  the only compliant i can muster is the name doesn’t match the music.

tiger army_pain - just a nice sendoff for another opr coming to and end.  thanks for listening

A hour of new muisc and someties whatever else I want to play Monday's from 11p to midnight.

Metro Station “Shake It” - This song is really kind of poppy and dancy but not really that cool.  I don’t get why I like it but whatever.  Why do I love when my soul gets crushed everytime.  It pays to be deep, just ask the next band.
Brand New “Milestone” - I can sing this song really great in the shower actually, not so good while in the studio but it is track number 2 on their album “God and the Devil Are Raging Inside Me.” Cafe Rio is the only thing raging inside me.
Morrissey “That’s How People Grow Up” - This is from the Moz’s upcoming greatest hits album but it is a new song so not really tested as a greatest hit yet.  I don’t know if that is irony or a trick to make me pay $0 dollars when I steal yet another Morrissey greatest hits offline.  Officially out on Feb. 12.
Collin Meloy of The Decemberists “Everyday is Like Sunday” - On good Morrissey song deserves another and as if more dramatic downtroddeness needed to be wailed into one of the Moz’s songs this drama kid can do it.

The Helio Sequence “Keep Your Eyes Ahead” - So this band’s singer damaged his chords and ended up relearning to sing to Bob Dylan songs.  I learned to overthrow the goverment by listening to Bob Dylan so it looks like we both failed.  New album “Keep Your Eyes Ahead” out on Feb. 29th.
Zox “Goodnight” - So cool, like kids that smoked only to get lung cancer in their 30’s and have to get a hole in their neck to breathe.  So stop smoking or your band will have to break up and you won’t be as sly as Zox.
The Ramones “The KKK Took My Baby Away” - Cause I can and the original is better than the MXPX cover. RAWWWWK!
Ludo “Love Me Dead” - I don’t know about you but the message of this song sounds like a real bad idea.
Radiohead “Bangers & Mash” - This is from the B-sided if you spluged and orded the boxset of “In Rainbows.” Bangers and mash aren’t really that good.
Horrorpops “Thelma and Louise” - NOFX wrote the best songs about this Louise woman but this song is okay.  I am not sure how many more reference I can hear about this film before I actually have to see it.  I mean I just watched Road House.  The things I do for this job.

Bird and the Bee “Polite Dance Song” - Not as good as “Can I Be Your F**king Boyfriend” but good.  Great two player band.  Get all their stuff.
