If you've yet to see them live, you're about to have a number of chances to fix that:CATHOLICS & THE PILL

Wrap It Up
Oh man, that Lost In The Trees / Nighty Night show at Hangar 9 was pretty epic. It felt pretty great to see a show like that going down in Carbondale, and everyone having such a good time. Our favorite places to see shows will always be the DIY spaces like the Lost Cross, Skihouse, Litterbox, Swamp, IMC, etc., but it is so great to see the Hangar killing it with some of the things that have gone down there already. The diversity of things they are adding to the scene here is taking it to another level, and we are sure happy to see it happen. They may still be working the kinks out on some things (no JEFF yet..) but Sally, Nic, and the crew over there are doing a damn fine job so far and we're grateful they are doing it, especially for shows like that one.

While we're reminiscing a little, Ray Suburbia sent us a wrap up of 2010 that we missed putting on our favs of 2010 list (sometimes we forget to check our contact email.. so please be patient if you email us there and if you want something posted give us enough notice in advance!). His list is pretty great and we really like it, so here it is, just a little belated! Thanks Ray!
Best 11 Carbondale Shows of 2010
There’ve been a lot of shows in 2010 in town, so man I can't even recall them all. I can't remember a time when the scene in this town was sooo vibrant. Straight Edge hardcore basement shows, art-punk house shows, dunk tanks, swimming pool parties, Pks revelry and Skihouse keg drainage. Even a show in the middle of downtown. Fuck! So I've tried to compile my favorite shows of the year. (and yeah, various bands I was in played most of these shows, but trust me, that is definitely not why I chose them)
2/21 – White Walls, The Shakes, Not Healthy @ The Dude Ranch
3/6 – Heavy Cream, Alright Alreadys, Quest For Fire, Spokesmen, Not Healthy @ Skihouse
3/16 – Hollows, Parlor, Small Time London Thug @ Lost Cross
5/23 – Screaming Females, La URSS, Kangaroo Rats, Spokesmen, Not Healthy @ Skihouse
5/25 – Twat Sauce, Drunk Cops @ Lost Cross
6/3 – Head On Electric, Eine Kliene Chinmuzik, These Magnificent Tapeworms, Drunk Cops @ LC
7/6 – Goodnight Loving, Shithawk, Parlor @ Tres Hombres
7/15 – Black Wine, Secondary Modern, Drunk Cops @ Gatsbys
7/18 – Wild America, Uh-oh, Marvin Berry and the New Sound, Sandworms, Not Healthy @ LC

10/24 – The Gateway District, Strong City, These Magnificent Tapeworms, Black on Brown @ LC
Best 11 Albums I got in 2010
I'm getting old. It's fact. I'm getting more boring and poorer and can't keep up with records as much as I once did. That doesn't mean I don’t still buy too many, I just don't buy as many new releases. So instead of doing the nickpickery, i'm just going to extoll the virtues of these albums that I got ahold of and hung out with all year.
Acephalix – Aporia (epic bay area crust metal, angrier than war)
Autistic Youth – Idle Minds (melodic portland punk, 80's LA meets Wipers)
Chumbawamba – Never Mind The Ballots (british anarchopunk at its most intelligent)
Crisis – Holocaust Hymns (british anarcho punk at its darkest)
Enabler – Eden Sank To Grief (brutal milwaukee metal – soon to be reissued on Metal Blade [?!])
Goodnight Loving – Goodnight Loving Supper Club (finest album to come out of milwaukee maybe ever)
Herds – s/t (heavy plodding dark milwaukee hardcore supergroup)
Hollows – s/t (bubblegum garage-pop from chicago)
Population – demo (all hail the new wave of chicago death rock)
Complications – demo (lemmy in a punk band)
The Estranged – The Subliminal Man (if the cure were from portland)
Favorite Albums of the Decade.
Ok. Lets do a 10 year round up. Cause 2000-2010 saw some AMAZING shit happen. So if you’re only going to listen to 25 records this coming decade, that were released last decade, here they are. (though why you would do such a silly thing, I have no idea)
The Cure – Bloodflowers (2000)
The Firebird Band – The Setting Sun and It's Satellites (2000)
Owls – s/t (2001)
Tortoise – Standards (2001)
Beulah – The Coast Is Never Clear (2001)
R.A.M.B.O. - Wall Of Death The System (2002)

The Ergs! - Dorkrockcorkrod (2003)
The Spits – s/t #3 (2003)
The Exploding Hearts – Guitar Romantic (2003)

Carson Everyday
Last night, Screaming Females were on a show hosted by Carson Daly. Not only is he alive (I thought all good TV hosts died with TRL), but he hosts while playing air hockey!
"When people say to me, 'Carson, what are you listening to right now?' I say, 'Screaming. Females.'" HAHA! Carson hearts "thrash"!
