We are very proud to announce our very first event outside of the New York area! On September 7, Dog Gone Enterprises (the global wing of Dog Gone Blog) will be traveling to the Great North for the first-ever Canadian show with rising Brooklyn experimental act Superhuman Happiness. For those not familiar, Superhuman consists of a core segment of musicians from the illustrious Afro-Beat group Antibalas, along

with a carefully selected group of top Brooklyn session musicians, under the spiritual and musical guidance of Antibalas/Iron & Wine sax player Stuart Bogie. It's a groove-centric astral stew that is quickly becoming one of Brooklyn's most talked about groups on the scene today. We're very psyched to be presenting Superhuman in Canada for the very first time.

Taking place at the much-loved Toronto haunt Lee's Palace, the show will also feature a brand new Brooklyn psych-rock act called Wild Sick Horses, featuring current and former members of Citay, Bizi Gara, Persephonee's Bees, Ka and more. Lastly, the show will also feature rising Toronto indie act Atom and the Volumes, who have been storming the city for the past year with their gritty brand of garage rock. Liquid visual projections will be provided by Jason Steidman.

Should be a freak family affair. Come shake your shit and zone out.

On Wednesday, August 1st, House of David Gang played to 2 million people on Breakfast Television performing the new songs, including single Best I can Be. That song as also been garnering airplay across Canada on Satellite Radio and CBC"

The band returned to Toronto after a 5 date tour of Quebec and The Maritimes this past weekend. Singles "Reggae Party," "Come with Me (to New Brunswick)" and "Toronto, ON" have been garnering airplay across Canada and the new album contains some very strong tracks that mix Roots Reggae and Roots Canadiana. This album is a contender for the Reggae Album of the year for the 2013 Junos.

The band is doing an online fundraiser at www.indiegogo.com/houseofdavidgang to help with the marketing and distribution of the new recording project. At that link you can also pre-purchase the album and get your name in the line notes as well be as an upcoming video shoot.

I'm crushed! Anyone planning on checking this one out?

Just got upto date...

I don't really understand why Walt doesn't want to get out and start trying to put his family back together. He says "Cooking Meth is all I have left" Walt wants to be the King of an Empire, but at what costs? his family's life?

Walt's character has turned maniacal, tables haver sure turned, Jesse is now the voice of reason, yo!

I just read in Rolling Stone about the new blonde kid - apparently there's a big surprise about him coming up.

This is “Breaking Bad,†where no one wins.

I just caught the most recent episode (about the Train) and I'm just shocked. The writing is so amazing they constantly remind you that these guys are criminals. Just when they have you rooting for Jesse and Walt they throw tragedy and/or malicious violence into play.

not sure how i'd like to see this end, but I dont think it would be fitting to have these guys go on with their lives without karma getting them.

The story arc is that Jesse gets more likeable as Walt becomes more despicable.

It was surprising that it was Walt's 51 birthday - hard to believe everything that apparently happened in the 5 season was only a little over 365 days. How the story has moved away from the "Bill the Science" guy Walt to Heisenburg the gangster. Although I think Walt's biggest scene was walking into Tuco's crack headquarters with that explosive chemical. IMHO that was still his most exciting moment.

Anyone know the death kill for these guys?

got to the party late, how's it going so far?

Loving the Zappaesque... with a bullet!

I know the sentiment is that Obama didn't do enough... was it his fault or was it the situation he inherited? Was more progress possible if he didn't lose the house 1/2 through his term? Maybe health care ended up taking up too much of his time? Any thoughts to why they are so disappointed in Obama?

There definitely is a sentiment that Obama is the lesser of two evils, I'd say he's actually done a lot in terms of reshaping how the world sees the USA. Not since Ronald Regan has their been a president that's not only a politician but a celebrity.

Here’s a list of Trey Fall Tour Dates…

October 18 – The Fillmore – Detroit, MI

October 19 – Chicago Theatre – Chicago, IL

October 20 – LC Pavilion – Columbus, OH

October 22 – Sherman Theater – Stroudsburg, PA

October 23 – The National – Richmond, VA

October 24 – Fillmore – Silver Spring, MD

October 26 – Beacon Theatre – New York, NY

October 27 – Orpheum Theatre – Boston, MA

more on the new album:

Traveler, Trey Anastasio’s forthcoming solo album, will be released on October 16 on Rubber Jungle Records / ATO Records. Trey co-produced the album with Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Jonsi) last fall in Katis’ Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, CT. Along with Trey Anastasio Band, Katis invited several artists to work with them, including Mates of State’s Kori Gardner, The National’s Bryan Devendorf and Matt Berninger, and Icelandic percussionist Samuli Kosminen.

“My goal was to create an album that used the studio as an instrument,†says Anastasio, who began recording Traveler after Phish wrapped up its 2011 summer tour. “I wanted to work with Peter because he is a master at creating a sonic landscape,†notes Trey. “We were hoping for a cinematic end result.â€

Album pre-order details will be announced shortly. The first single on the album, “Scabbard,†will be released August 21.

I'm hooked on this stuff! Might even volunteer for Obama for this one - as I know it's going to be a intense race. Word is that GOP has close to $300 million dollars more to spend on this campaign and Obama has been spending like mad already to frame the election that Mitt is for the Rich. Mitt is trying to frame it that Obama can't run on his record. with only 3 months to go - it's going to be a hard fought battle.

sweet, i thought it was going to be 8 episodes divided into two.. i'm at episode 3 in this season.

Love it!

Sounds good - almost sounds like a Joel Plaskett song!
