in our continuing series of the b+p best of 2008:

pete’s faves (in no particular order):

rodriquez-cold fact(rerelease)
mgmt-oracular spectacular
wolf parade-at mount zoomer
hot house-hot house (cuban tribute to charlie parker)

didn’t rush release a record this year pete?

well, you may have noticed a hole in the place where the b+p upcoming shows list used to be. i had always taken pride in the fact that since our first show, this had never happened; we had never played a show without knowing when our next show would come. daunted by this tradition, i donned my booking hat in earnest last week, soothed by the reverby loops of panda bear’s ‘person pitch’ on repeat (musically, it was like being in a room full of mirrors) and started planning the b+p road adventures for the coming months …. so, keep an eye out, there’s lots of great shows on the horizon!

meanwhile, while waiting patiently for the b+p ‘uncalibrated’ video to come on the television (not actually expecting it come on the television, just hoping for a miraculous coincidence,) I caught the MGMT bug. and then i made an impulse buy on iTunes. the result: MGMT’s ‘time to pretend’ on endless repeat unseating that silly panda bear dude. that is one catchy-ass song…
