But I Just Like Music

Here at But I Just Like Music, we’re big fans of doing things for the moment and living spontaneously. Sometimes, that means doing things we’re not particularly proud of after the fact. But you know, that’s life. Totally punk rock – whatever that means. And today, we’ve got an opportunity for you to win some [...]

If you go to only three shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. Really there are only two shows you need to know about this weekend, and they both involve the same band. That’s right, M83 is finally in town and they’ll be playing the Granada Theater on Saturday AND Sunday night. Benefits of catching [...]

Got here for the tail end of Woods’ set. There’s a dude playing this bizarre instrument with a mouthpiece connected to a hose, and there’s incense burning, and it kind of reminds me of my high school bedroom. The jam bandiness of Woods’ (and not in a bad way) is only serving to perpetuate that [...]

Because we don’t all have time to keep up with the daily churn that is the music blogosphere, we’ve collected and assembled the most essential and interesting links from the past week. Music Links You May Have Missed Courtney Taylor-Taylor does an interview with Consequence of Sound. Purity Ring solidifies their new album. So Blur [...]

One of our favorite bands from the wonderful Elephant Six collective (remember those guys?) will be in town this Friday for a performance at Sons of Hermann Hall. For those unfamiliar with The Olivia Tremor Control – they’re an experimental indie rock band – kind of like Apples in Stereo minus the pop sensibilities. And [...]

If you go to only three shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. We’ve got three really fantastic shows to choose from this weekend, and unfortunately two of them are on the same night! My personal pick is Olivia Tremor Control, but Brian Jonestown Massacre is a very close second. Where are you headed this [...]

We’re here at Dallas’ best spot for vinyl for a last minute ‘ninja show’ from Amanda Palmer. And yes, Neil Gaiman is in tow. Just chilling on the astro turfed stage. It’s hard to tell among the rows of vinyl and CD, but I’m guessing there are 100 people here, and more keep trickling in. [...]

If you go to only two shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. Look. There are really only two places you should be this weekend (and unfortunately you have to choose). Doc’s Records in Fort Worth and Good Records in Dallas. It is Record Store Day on Saturday after all! Good Records Record Store Day [...]

This just in from our friends at Good Records: Amanda Palmer is town mixing with the illustrious John Congleton. She decided to take the night off and perform “Live From The Astroturf.” The length of the performance depends upon the audience interaction. Spread the word. This will be one of for the history books. We [...]

Been looking forward to this lineup for awhile. Mostly because of Frankie Rose, but Dive (offshoot of Beach Fossils) is a nice bonus. First up (for me) Lonesome Ghost, straight from good ol’ Dallas, TX. Fair warning, I’m catching the tail end of the set, and while you can tell the band needs a little [...]
