Slowdown Twitter’s
I am not even sure if Twitter is referred to appropriately in the title of this post? Is there supposed to be an an apostrophe? Well however you spell it, we are doing it. Our address is https://twitter.com/theslowdown/. See what we tweet about. Yes, I said tweet.
We won’t be neglecting the “blog” of the site, more than usual that is.
Tonight brings us the fine line-up of The Pendrakes, The Third Men, & Great Atomic Power which starts at 9 PM. Sunday Tyrone re-introduces us to Pavement’s landmark Brighten the Corners disc. He will be giving two copies of the disc away! If you win a copy you can re-gift it to your favorite relative, or impressionable niece/nephew, and make them realize the world outside of Britney Spears is a fabulous, incredible place. On top of that madness there will be $1 Miller Lites all night long!
Now that 2009 is staring us down, the proverbial ‘best’ of 2008 lists are appearing in every music publication across America. What were your favorites of the year? Or even your favorite show at Slowdown? Leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts.
If I had to be put in the hot seat, a few of my favorite Slowdown performances (in no particular order) would be:
MGMT & Yeasayer
Fleet Foxes & Blitzen Trapper
Atmosphere
Devotchka
Deerhoof
The Notwist
Speaking of the New Year, you may want to get your ticket to New Year’s GOO, we had to turn a bunch of folks away in 2008, and would hate for that to be you in 2009..
