Baby Heisman: Notes for the weekend
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/notes-for-weekend.html
Friday, June 1, 2007. Notes for the weekend. For me, this weekend is all about the Hold Steady tonight, but there's a couple of other things I wanted to mention. The CD release show by L.A. indie pop band Great Northern tonight at the Beauty Bar is being hosted by two of San Diego's best bloggers: Rosey from S.D. Dialed in and Lyn from Chickrawker. Info about the show and some MP3s. Great Northern on MySpace. Ladies, my crew is at the next gig you sponsor. Promise. El Cajon Concerts on the Green Web site.

Baby Heisman: Hold Steady concert preview 1: Why are these guys such a big deal?
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/hold-steady-concert-preview-1-why-are.html
Friday, June 1, 2007. Hold Steady concert preview 1: Why are these guys such a big deal? I was not an immediate convert to the church of The Hold Steady. And it is a church. The texts are full of people we've never met and places we've never seen, but we know all about them nonetheless. Alcohol also plays an intricate, symbolic part. The Hold Steady — Stuck Between Stations (MP3). The Hold Steady — Stevie Nix (MP3). I shall hopefully see you there tonight. I'll be the one with beer getting spilled al...

Baby Heisman: Knocked Up
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/knocked-up.html
Monday, June 4, 2007. Besides being a great movie (more on that in a sec) "Knocked Up" uses music wonderfully, from pop to Loudon Wainwright III to maybe the best use of The Clash's "Police on My Back" ever in a movie. Knocked Up" is a different kind of adult comedy: one that teens and college students will find funny, but they'll find a lot more in it once they're older. PS DON'T put "knocked up" into a Google images search with the filter off while you're at work or around kids. Just FYI. From the home...

Baby Heisman: My City's a Sucker: Canes
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-citys-sucker-canes.html
Monday, June 4, 2007. My City's a Sucker: Canes. I thought that was an unnecessary move, but the rules are the rules, the sign was clearly posted, so I was letting it slide. But then two of my friends who watched what happened decided they would try to get back in. One by one, they succeeded. Also, if you confront him about it afterward, he'll move away from the door and then your friends can sneak in behind him. And it's a rock club; it doesn't need a men's room attendant. My Citys a Sucker.

Baby Heisman: Offseason
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/offseason.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2007. I just don't want this blog to turn into some cutsey thing filled with quick-post things like silly YouTube clips, and that's what it'll become if I don't take the time to run it right. I still plan to post, just not a regular, daily basis. There will still be show reviews, hopefully some MP3 playlists along the way. Think of them as voluntary offseason minicamps if, like me, you want to take the whole football analogy of this blog beyond your actual love of football.

Baby Heisman: Hold Steady concert preview 2: For the fans, a drinking game
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/hold-steady-concert-preview-1-for-fans.html
Friday, June 1, 2007. Hold Steady concert preview 2: For the fans, a drinking game. Fans of the Hold Steady know that it's pretty hard not to have a beer during their shows. So why not a drinking game? It looks like the Philly City Paper devised one, but it was back in 2005, before their most-recent album, and it was pretty basic. Drink each time the Mississippi River or an allusion to being resurrected is mentioned. Stuff like that. Take a drink when:. There's a keyboard solo. Craig takes a drink. Goril...

Baby Heisman: The Pipettes @ the Casbah, 6-10-07
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/06/pipettes-casbah-6-10-07.html
Monday, June 11, 2007. The Pipettes @ the Casbah, 6-10-07. So why was the Casbah sold out Sunday night when most of the people there would rather watch the stars of American Idol cover Modest Mouse than go to a concert by one of the sisters Simpson? For one, the Pipettes seem like they can carry a tune and a conversation, too. But the big difference is that the Pipettes are imitating a musical style (60s girl groups), where as your American pop stars are trying to imitate past stars' public personas.

Baby Heisman: "Girls Rock"
http://babyheisman.blogspot.com/2007/05/girls-rock.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. While in Seattle over the weekend, I saw a really good documentary about the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls called "Girls Rock." I knew the camp existed because of my fanaticism for Sleater. Kinney — Carrie Brownstein. Has been involved with it from the beginning — but I knew little else. Camp, girls form bands, get instruction from musician volunteers and special guests like Brownstein. The camp itself is a nonprofit group that doesn't turn away any camper if she can't pay the regi...
