Is it 2008 yet?
2007-11-28 06:31:00 Now that magazines and websites are putting out their best of ‘07 lists, I can’t help thinking back and….getting bored. I’m ready for 2008 ! Here are some preview-y bits from some Jan/Feb releases I’m excited about. [See post to listen to audio]Cryptacize - “Cosmic Sing-A-Long” [MP3] Dig That Treasure, out Feb 19 [See post to ...
Best Fwends had their gear/stuff stolen
2007-11-25 21:39:00 Through the Music Slut I learned that Best Fwends recently had their meager amount of gear and possessions stolen while they were catching a nap at Logan Airport in Boston. Funny thing is, security told them they don’t have any cameras on that area, so they can’t figure out who took their stuff. Wasn’t Logan ... More About: Stolen , Stuff , Gear
New Six Organs of Admittance video: ?Shelter from the Ash?
2007-11-14 13:00:00 I love the creepy, meditative feeling of the song’s repeated guitar line, and how Ben Chasny’s voice keeps on falling on these weird flat notes. The video itself is like a lot of walking-through-the-desert videos, and I’m 80% sure it was filmed on the salt flats in Nevada (I think). Now many songs can justify ...

Shortlist: Black Dice, Michael Showalter, Death at Knitting Factory, Holy C
2007-11-14 04:51:00 Black Dice’s first day of tour blogging for the Fader features one of the best looking Mexican meals I’ve ever seen. Damn, Michael Showalter has whored himself out across the internet. Or maybe the internet’s whored itself out to Michael Showalter. Police have released the name of the 28-year-old man found dead at the Knitting ... More About: Factory , Black , Death
New Times New Viking tracks: ?(my head)? and ?R.I.P. allegory?
2007-11-09 20:14:00 Rough and tumble Ohio trio Times New Viking have a double A-side vinyl single coming out on Matador Records. The Matablog makes reference to their new multimillion dollar recording studio, which of course is a bunch of crap. This A-side sounds like it was recorded over the phone across ten years of static. It’s basically ... More About: Tracks , Allegory , Head
New Modest Mouse video ?People As Places As People?
2007-10-24 07:40:00 This video is actually people as trees as people. It’s directed by Andy Bruntel, who has previously directed videos for Rilo Kiley, Bat For Lashes, and Bonnie Prince Billy. It’s probably the biggest trees-come-alive video since “Plant Man.” It sort of reminds me of the Decemberists’ “Oh Valencia!” clip, in that it’s another object-human love ...

Blog Action Day: These bands love the earth
2007-10-15 23:51:00 Today is Blog Action Day, where blogs of all types have agreed to post about a single topic, in their own way. This year’s topic is the environment. I thought I’d put together a little playlist, not based on environmental-sounding titles or some other crap like that, but based on bands that are actually, really ...

In Rainbows is here, so let?s go track-by-track
2007-10-10 08:39:00 Finally a reason to use ‘overall star rating’ on this wordpress plugin. Since I’m awake, and I’ve got this fresh download code, why not liveblog my way through my first listen, writing with the full knowledge that this has all the forethought, afterthought, nowthought of a Bret Michaels neck tattoo.

Does the new Robyn video look like an old Madonna video?
2007-10-10 01:17:00 Last time I said a Robyn video looked like another video, the lady herself responded in my comment section: robyn | Jul 27, 2007 | Reply eh? you is definitely on crack nothing alike - those blocks remind me of the early learnign centre good times But I won’t let my addiction dissuade me from posting another Robyn video that I ...

Beirut: Guyamas Sonora video
2007-10-08 20:37:00 Beirut’s gorgeous follow up to Gulag Orkestar, the Flying Cup Club, comes out tomorrow, and videos from his every-song Take Away session are still trickling out. This video is for “Guyamas Sonora ,” one of the standouts from the LP. Now, I think it’s a little self-indulgent to do videos for every single track (not to ... More About: Video , Videos , Beirut

2007-10-05 07:37:00 Matador announced an upcoming documentary on Silkworm. R.I.P. Sub Pop ’s Iron and Wine will be on NPR October 24th, and on Letterman this Friday. Not that it’s hard drifting off during Letterman. Vice Records is doing a week of Chromeo remixes. More About: Shortlist , Matador
What ever happened to baby J?
2007-10-04 06:28:00 Kids Pushing Kids has been on a back to school unplanned hiatus. School is hard, guys.

Devendra Banhart covers Oasis Don?t Look Back in Anger
2007-08-14 17:46:00 I gotta admit, “Don’t Look Back in Anger ” was one of my favorite songs back in middle school, where I was a wee Britpop lovin’ child. Devendra Banhart’s cover has a swingy little Brazilian guitar shuffle, and a soft, accented vocal, nothing like the booming croon that Noel Gallagher slathers on the original (because, if ...

Video roundup: Beach House, M.I.A., Editors
2007-08-11 00:36:00 Let’s keep things short today…. Beach House : “Master of None” I’ve seen Beach House twice now, and both shows were the most dreamy, languid, and boring I’ve seen this year.

Stranger Danger: Identifying which singer will try to touch you someplace y
2007-08-09 21:47:00 Not to be a jerk or anything, but when it’s 134 degrees outside and you’ve just gotten home from a show in some unventilated basement where the walls were sweating more than you, you (I mean, I) start wondering why the only lead singers that get all in your face and want to dance with ...

Another word on M.I.A. and Justine Frischmann (and Diplo)
2007-08-07 05:21:00 On Thursday I posted up that thing about Elastica, which mentioned that M.I.A. and Justin e Frischmann weren’t talking anymore supposedly because the former didn’t want to give Justine writing credits on Arular. I have no idea how much work Frischmann did on Arular. But I do think it’s interesting that M.I.A. was so insistent about ... More About: News , Word , Diplo
Dirty Projectors interview: ?It?s boring, though I guess quite profitable t
2007-08-03 18:16:00 Dirty Projectors ‘ Dave Longstreth was cleaning out his parents’ house when he found the empty cassette case to Black Flag’s Damaged. With some time on his hands (I’m guessing, based on how little there is to do after your parents go to bed at 8 p.m.) and a spare four-track, he re-produced Damaged from ...

Shortlist: R. Kelly, Mike Watt, Jack White, John Mayer and Dave Matthews
2007-08-03 00:07:00 R. Kelly will finally go on trial for child pornography. Kelly will sing his defense. Mike Watt works with everyone, ever. Except Scarlett Johansson, which is the only collaboration I wanted. Jack White says journalists are lazy. And I just link to them, so I’m pretty pathetic. John Mayer and Dave Matthews will play Virginia Tech. Haven’t ...
What happened to Elastica?, And the Elastica/M.I.A. connection
2007-08-02 18:00:00 I’ve been meaning to do some posts on (relatively) older bands, so here’s the first one…. Posting the new M.I.A. video reminded me of something. M.I.A. received some help on her first album from Justine Frischmann, the lead singer and songwriter from Elastica. Elastica stood out from the rest of the Britpop pack, mostly because ...

New Björk video: ?Innocence? (contest finalist)
2007-08-01 18:33:00 Björk posted two of the finalists in her make-my-video contest for “Inno cence.” Both use computer animation, but the second (below) is a lot more detailed, if less colorful. This changes toward the end, when her world turns candy-colored, and a wisp of hot-pink smoke trails behind her. [via Forkcast] http://www.bjork.com/innocence/play/174.f lv [See post to listen ...
