Updatage

Hello my babys,

This is Scotter, signing in for a bit of updatage on the site, a preview of things to come from your favorite Post-Rockists.

1. We’re going to Pitchfork Music Festivale! We’ll have our full preview and stuff up soon and will try to make it funny and light and then we’ll head for Chi-town and try our best to not party too hard so that we can remember enough to write about it upon our return. Wanna meet up? It’ll be easy to recognize us. We’ll be the ones with tight blue jeans and hipster sun glasses, taking photos with our point-and-click cameras and drinking beer.

B. With 2008 now half over, we’re going to look back at our favorite albums of the year that we didn’t cover. We love lists, and haven’t made any in awhile and are feeling feverish for a healthy dose of numbering and bullet points. (Speaking of lists, you must check out Coke Machine Glow‘s 2008 Listravaganza. I wish we’d have thought of this stuff.)

D. The Comerica Cityfest starts today. Yes! Food, beer, sun, and lots of free music. One of my favorite events of the year for reals. I’m not going to cover the Cityfest this year like I did for Rock City Fest, because I’d like to enjoy my evenings and afternoons without dedicating myself to typing away at the computer for 20 hours to get everything down. But I will be posting pictures and short updates–perhaps a recap, of sorts–so I’ll see you there, Les Detroitiers.

Tonight, I get to see these guys:

III. The feeling of future infamy swelled within my breast when asked to compete in a Local Blogger Duel of Wits and Awesomeness, facing a formidable opponent in fellow blogger and beloved Detroit paper-bagged icon Jasper. Yet victory was not in the cards for me nor Jasper, but it was an Elle of a lot of fun. Well played indeed, my good man.

Any suggestions for stuff on this site (besides posting more often!)? Leave a comment.

God’s Choicest Blessings,

Scotter
