Lately my music selection has been pretty heavy on the 90’s end of things. Emo and its various offshoots have taken us all back to Depeche Mode and The Cure era 80’s and synth-pop again entered the mainstream. Meanwhile, I’ve been waiting patiently for the 90’s to take the driver’s seat back.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Santogold. The singles I’ve heard are fun, upbeat dance tracks and I’m definitely looking forward to her first release later this month. But as the release date (April 29) draws closer, and Santogold gets more press I find myself going back to her day show at SXSW.

Austin fans of Ghostland Observatory listen up! There’s a venue just south of town that is drawing some of Austin’s best bands this summer. It’s called Whitewater Amphitheatre and you may remember it from the blog about Blue October’s Fourth of July plans.
