I'm really liking the new Blonde Redhead album "23" which has a great consistent sound with their other stuff. They are actually playing tomorrow at the Glass House and I am guessing the tickets are long gone. They will also be performing at Coachella with a gazillion awesome bands! I will do a short Coachella entry next week for some of my favorite bands playing. Something totally strange: The hits on my site go up around 75-120 hits on average a day. Who the crap is looking at this site? If you are reading this, hit me up with a comment. I'm curious. Alright here is some new music and some old favorites for the early midweek mix!
Blonde Redhead - 23

Mice Parade has come out with a self-titled new 7th album on FatCatRecs. For me it is highly anticipated. Beautiful new instrumentals with Kristen Anna Vattysdottir on the mics (and other interesting instruments). With Peirce's lead, Kristen's voice becomes less creepish and more essential to the sound. When it's there, it's there. Mice Parade will be ending their U.S. tour on the westcoast with 3 shows in California then heading off to Japan and Taiwan. You will definitely see me at the Echo in LA on Jun, 07th. The new CD is dropping the 8th of May.

Okay that's 21 songs for you to enjoy for a while. I will be updating less frequently (Like once a week) cause I'm getting busier. Does anyone want to be a contributor to BBQCHICKENROBOT.com? That would really help out. I will show you the ways of finding music...from what I know.

Someone brought up an interesting point the other day. We go crazy when people die in the U.S. and we careless when they die outside of the U.S....even U.S. troops. Would someone please tell me why?
