I've spent the morning finally delving into Lotus Plaza's honey-dripped Floodlight Collective LP. For those who don't already know, Lotus Plaza is Lockett Pundt, guitarist and co-songwriter for Deerhunter, the man responsible for some of DH's best songs ("Agoraphobia" for one).

AIDS Wolf at the Emergency Room was one of my favourite shows last year, so I was pretty psyched for their show at the Biltmore last night.
