...WHATEVER

Live Bloggin' from KEXP

Written by the lowly cmrtyz intern with near perfect spelling and grammar.

10:02: CMRTYZ has begun their setlist. Choosing the next album...Seems like it's going to be The Intelligence. TYZ is mostly sitting around.

10:08: TYZ is still sitting, but playing air guitar.

10:12: CMRTYZ are being introduced. They also just said poop and crap on the air(?)

10:13: Christmas is going on air...Catch 'em at Ursa Minor for Natty's birthday! On the 29th...

10:19: TYZ admits he's only interested in giving shot outs on air. Meanwhile, CMR is busy with the rec's.10:24: Live bloggin's hard. There are two buttons next to me. One says TALK BACK the other COUGH.

10:27: TYZ has declined the offer to talk on air for this upcoming break.

10:28: "I like it when you leave it on"

10:33: If anyone is reading this, can you bring us some beer? Preferably rainiers.

10:40: Ty's reading off the playlist. CMR can't since he forgot his glasses.

10:41: We ALL would like to hear a 20 minute set of Ty Segall.

10:50: Heard in the booth: "That's enough Ty Segall for one night"

10:56: TYZ is plugging away.

10:58: And....we're off!

CMR display in Berlin

The very lovely Quartier206 Departmentstore-Cabinet just got the package from CMR and blogged about quick drawings on the parcel. This also means they got the package which means they sent us photos of the way they are all hung up inside the store. Enjoy!

If you're in Berlin, check it out!

CMR from BC

I just hung out with and saw the two coolest bands and who are luckily on the cool label out of Austria, BACHELOR RECORDS:

Myelin Sheaths

and

Indian Wars

The night started at the IW house with beers and Mario Kart 64 which led to going to the venue and getting free pizza and progressed into awesome bands playing.

During the MS last song, they asked the crowd to join them on stage and everyone danced as their final tune played out.

We will get them a show in Seattle in the summer. So fun.

More birthday fun at the end of the month!

Natty is making this her birthday bash so CMR designed another poster for her too. There's a third somewhere floating around. We want everyone to be there and BYOB... and BB4CMRTYZ too. It'll sure be tons of fun. Who doesn't like fun? 3 CMR posters! 3 good bands!
