So for all I know about my friends, I'm farily oblivious to their less mainstream musical tastes. I for one am really into ambient, techno, trance, and trip-hop, in addition to more mainstream musical tastes, but these passions are typically only realized within tight-fitting headphones or my car (which I suppose could be seen as one big tight-fitting headphone). As a result I don't know who this announcement would interest, and so to the blog it goes.

Amon Tobin, techno DJ extraodinaire, is spinning a performace at Bimbo's 365 on Friday, February 25th ($18), and I'm itching to go with friends who are similarly interested. The last (read: only) time I've gone to Bimbos was to see Jolie Holland give a great performance which, very likely is the antipode of techno, so it'll be interesting to see the space in such a different way. Who's interested?

Wow. After a 12 year hiatus, it looks like Men Without Hats just put a new album to the presses, for sale online later this month, and in the stores this Spring.

I find it funny because I thought today "I wonder whatever happened to Men Without Hats?" (probably the only person on the planet today to think that) and decided to find out. In other news, they're looking for two new band members for live shows, so if you've always dreamed of being in a new-wave '80s band, it's not too late.

Oh, and I should note that ths post prompted me to create a new topic category: only I care.
