Major League Cheaters

So it's just come across the wire that David Ortiz is on the infamous list that names 100+ baseball players that tested positive for performance enhancing substances. Surprise, surprise. Dang near all of these home run belting freaks have been included in these lists. I love baseball and I'm willing to forgive and move on, as long as these up and comers see what these shamed former heroes have done to the sport and think twice before putting anything in their body.

Ready to have a migraine? There is a hardcore show at The Edgemont tonight. Details Below:

Edgemont
Featuring Sea Swallowed Us Whole
661 N Main St, Orem
7:00 PM--$8

Some quick notes: 1) These dudes just scream and play really hard, and so do the rest of the groups playing with them 2) WTF is the Edgemont? What kind of Utah County entertainment blogger am I? I don't even know about a venue down the road from me.

For those of you who don't have enough ibuprofen for the hardcore show, Twilight returns tonight with Sonic Youth. The iconic 90's group will be playing the free show at the Gallivan Center, downtown Salt Lake City. As always, the show starts at 7:00.

Velour VS Muse--Battle of the Ave Venues

So there are to pretty good acts headlining both venues shows. It really all comes down to mood/preference. Velour is presenting Alex Bateman and the Buds, a poppy little rock group from Mapleton. Muse has an acoustic night featuring Pure of Reason, a down tempo duo. They both are pretty new groups and, although they have a lot of work still ahead, they both have some promise. I'm giving the edge to Muse's show this evening, purely because of the hilarity of Pure of Reason's MySpace. The singer, Esai Gonzalez, says he started singing around age 4 because of depression...nothing sadder than a depressed toddler :)

About the Song Du Jour: "Bad Case of Loving You" Robert Freaking Palmer

May he rest in peace. With his memorable music videos and poppy rock tunes, Robert Palmer was the man in the 80s. Just look at all those pale ladies he rolled with...oddly hot!? Anyway, this is such a fun little novelty of a song. It rocks hard and does very little to save the world, just how Mr. Palmer liked it.

And kablam...I'm done for the time being...see y'all tomorrow.
