We’re going on extended vacation here at Big Diction, but you’re welcomed to still send us media for review, and it will be considered for the other publications we write for.

Local Music

All local music submissions will be considered for review or mention on Austin Sound and Side One Track One.

National Music

I have weekly mentions at Side One Track One about national bands, usually ones that are “under the radar,” or whatever that means.

Live Music / Show Announcements

First, if anyone wants to invite us to a show, we’re there.

Second, I run the “Weekend Preview” section on Austin Sound, so if you’d like a show previewed, let me know.

Finally, don’t forget that Rob writes about sports the Austinist, so go leave some deranged comments.

All the archived material will be left up if you’d like to browse. See you next year perhaps.

It’s Sunday at Big Diction. Here’s what we’ve been up to today on a new piece we call “Around The Office” (in pictures).

Gap Fat Spring Catalog

So You’re Going To Be A Mommy

We’ve been cleaning a bit of house recently here at the Dic, and we came across some things that had been earmarked for BD Salutes, but then buried under stacks and stacks of pornography. But our love of baseball, smoking and sticking it to the man mandated that these bits of news not go unrecognized.

First, and most recent, Cleveland Indians second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera completed just the 14th unassisted triple play in Major League history Monday night. Pretty ballsy, right? Wrong. Upon reviewing the video, we’ve decided to downgrade this from a full-fledged Salute to a more modest Tip of the Cap. Seriously, this video was the biggest letdown since the Mir spacestation didn’t crash into Taco Bell’s huge Pacific target.
