video: cursive – the martyr [live at the waiting room] (2011)

3 02 2011

spotted this over at bedwetting cosmo’s house. cursive recently played domestica in full for some lucky cornhuskers, and hearnebraska.com was on hand to capture four of the songs in a beautiful fashion. head here to catch the rest of em, which include “the casualty,” “the radiator hums” and “the day i lost the will to fight.” sexy stuff.

stream: tim kasher – the game of monagamy (2010)

4 10 2010

kasher does what he does best and writes about love, life, and the loss of love (and probably life), and lets it all float in a sea of alcoholism and self-medication. at least that’s what i’m assuming. i’ve only heard a couple of songs from here, but i’m just talking out of my ass. the solo venture of the cursive frontrunner is up and streaming for your pleasure via spinner.

show recap: alkaline trio + cursive (march 26, 2010)

31 03 2010

the last time alkaline trio headlined a set in houston in october of 2008 had completely different circumstances. rise against canceled, so alkaline trio had to step up in typical “the show must go on!” fashion and play a short stint of headline sets. this time around, they’ve had minor major label success, a charting album in this addiction and fellow lushes cursive along for the ride for their own headlining tour. what’s come to be expected by any trio set these days is a fair share of cult classics and new songs, distributed evenly amongst an hour and a half set. having cursive on the tour was a huge bonus for myself, personally.

anyway, read on.

video: alkaline trio – this addiction (2010)

8 02 2010

yesssss. alkaline trio is back, and just as good as ever. here they are with their first single off of their first record on epitaph. the title track gets the pretty standard performance video treatment, but i’m on board. i’ve enjoyed close to everything this band has ever done, and the new record is no different.

this addiction is in stores on february 23rd. be sure to check out all of the tour dates with cursive here.

video: cursive – let me up/daytrotter sessions (2009)

23 09 2009

this is by far the most menacing and diabolically epic thing cursive has ever done. i have no clue what i just watched.

kasher also stopped by to do a daytrotter session, which is included after the jump. don’t pass on it. there’s a cover of bowie’s “modern love” and the cure’s “lovecats.” nuff said.

video: cursive – acoustic sessions with the backyard (2009)

3 09 2009

this is a good one for the rainy day we’re having here in texas. i’d like like to make note of the fact that i cleaned my car earlier today because it was bright and sunny. little did i know a giant thunderstorm the size of houston itself would hit my neighborhood.

in any sense, kasher plays some of that ugly organ godliness (driftwood) we have yet to hear since 2003. beautiful. after the jump, check out videos of “caveman” and “from the hips.”

shouts to cj for throwing it up.

cursive – the lovecats [the cure cover] (2009)

12 08 2009

kasher and company stopped by some store somewhere called CD central (i’m too lazy to look this up) and did a rousing cover of the cure’s classic, the lovecats. for now, this is just a decent quality recording of the show. hopefully tim gets a good enough response to where he wants to drop a studio venture on us. love it.

album review: cursive – mama, i’m swollen (march 10, 2009)

11 03 2009

it’s been three years since happy hollow came out, and as much as i liked that album, there was something BIG missing from it, and in turn, i stopped listening to it altogether. in retrospect, it’s hard to actually sift through and pinpoint what it was, but it doesn’t matter, because now we have mama, i’m swollen.

despite still not having gretta in the group, cursive grew into their horn arrangements, and kasher’s songwriting is as incredible as it has ever been. for the past few days, i’ve been listening to this album before bed and have let kasher and company tuck me into my bed amidst a sea of happy, loving, bitter and hateful thoughts.

“every record i’ve written has left me smitten.”
-tim kasher
