2008-03-17 05:22:00 Still in recovery from SXSW 2008 , but here are a few pictures from the ole point-and-shoot Olympus. The HearYa gang made a pact when we arrived to SXSW to make sure it felt like a vacation. That meant very little blogging during the week and very few pictures. We managed to get some decent ...

Sorry for the lack of activity?
2008-03-16 01:53:00 We’re running all over Austin at SXSW and not much time to handle the site. We’ve seen great music and several F list celebrity sightings.

The Ernest Jenning Record Co. Showcase, The Black Hollies, SXSW 2008
2008-03-11 22:20:00 It’s been said on this site on more than one occasion, that O’Death is one of my favorite bands out there today. Up until now I wasn’t very familiar with the other acts on their label, Ernest Jenning Record Co, but I have been listening to The Black Hollies and their excellent new release, Casting ...

Megafaun - Bury The Square, SXSW 2008
2008-03-08 04:07:00 I first heard “Lazy Suicide” by Megafaun and was immediately hooked. The song slowly builds with wonderful harmonies ala The Avett Brothers with just a hint of the sound that makes me love O’Death so much. The song slowly descends into a bizarre little jam full of unique instrumentation before easing back into the harmonies ... More About: 2008 , Square
The Whipsaws - 60 Watt Ave, SXSW 2008
2008-03-06 17:35:00 I was introduced to The Whipsaws by one of my favorite blogs, Nine Bullets. Normally I would leave well enough alone, as Nine Bullets does a great job, but I feel it’s my duty to spread the word about the Anchorage four-piece. They’ll be bouncing around at SXSW 2008 in March and deserve to ...
Say Hi - The Wishes and The Glitch, SXSW 2008
2008-03-05 23:06:00 I was raised listening to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. For some reason, I went through an odd phase in high school where I listened to 80’s music. It’s pretty much all I listened to for the entire year of 1992 (other than that Seattle grunge stuff) while living in ... More About: Wishes , Glitch , 2008

Howlin? Rain - Magnificent Fiend, SXSW 2008
2008-03-04 16:47:00 A couple of months ago, Drinking Buddy referred to Matt Pond’s latest release as a turkey sub from Subway. Well in keeping with that spirit, Magnificent Fiend by Howlin’ Rain is a mile-high corned-beef on rye with cole slaw and mustard dripping from the sides. This release is a sprawling classic that revels in everything ... More About: 2008

Marah - Angels Of Destruction
2008-02-28 16:22:00 Marah, one of our generations most underappreciated bands, recently released their sixth album on Yep Roc Records. I have a weird relationship with Marah.

XM Tracks: Jaymay - ?Sea Green See Blue?
2008-02-27 16:40:00 HearYa has been full of testosterone lately. It’s time to mix in some indie tunes from the ladies. Once again, XM Radio has introduced me to an artist that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. Jaymay is a New York poet and folk singer-songwriter that reminds me a little of Alela Diane.

The Bad Plus
2008-02-26 16:36:00 Considering it was Ben Folds Five’s second release, Whatever and Ever Amen (specifically “One Angry Dwarf”), that caused my musical epiphany as a child, it’s not surprising that I’ve fallen for The Bad Plus. Their similar set up (piano, bass, drums) may be the first indication of their similarities, but what caught my ear ...

Grand Archives - The Grand Archives
2008-02-23 19:32:00 I realized that I neglected to mention that Grand Archives released their debut album, The Grand Archives, on Tuesday of this week. Hailing from Seattle and formed by guitarist Mat Brooke (previously the guitarist in Carissa’s Weird and Band of Horses), Grand Archives build a sound out of experimentation. According to their record label Sub Pop, ...

AA Bondy - American Hearts, SXSW 2008
2008-02-20 19:00:00 It must be February. It’s the time that I discover amazing albums from the previous year that should have made our top 50 albums list and I feel remorse. More than any other (so far) is a singer/songwriter that goes by the name AA Bondy. His real name is Scott Bondy, but AA is ... More About: American , Hearts , 2008
