This was a VERY busy week for us. So I guess if you don’t like to read I’d understand if you missed it. But that’s one sorry excuse. A better one would be “Ugh, I couldn’t get to all of Knox Road this week because I printed and analyzed every post to get the most information possible!! And I’m only on the fourth Monday post!” Well, don’t you worry, we got you covered. Here’s what went down at KR. (Jamie was the man and took photos for each Siren performance.) [image from here]
Sunday:
Prepare yourself for our thoughts on the Siren Music Festival.
Monday:
Siren Review (Jon): Built To Spill, full of vet stage presence.
Siren Review (Jon): Monotonix, with crowd-surfing bass drums.
Siren Review (Jamie): Spank Rock, a dance party.
New MP3 from Bad Veins – catchy synth pop.
Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys has cancer. All tour dates canceled, album release delayed. Get well soon.

Tuesday:
Album Review Tuesday (Jamie): The Fiery Furnaces go simple on the solid I’m Going Away.
Siren Review (Lee): Frightened Rabbit, a musical orgasm.
Siren Review (Lee): The Raveonettes, cool, calm, collected, good.
Siren Review (Jon): Micachu and The Shapes, musically unconventional.
Album Review Tuesday (Jon): Forest Fire’s Survival = folksy foot-tapping catchiness.
Siren Review (Jon): Japandroids, two guys smacking the shit out of their instruments.
Siren Review (Jamie): Thee Oh Sees, where nothing is safe from John Dwyer’s mouth.
Wednesday:

Gets the Girl get simple acoustic piano pop.

New Yo La Tengo MP3, “Here To Fall”, adds to promising outlook of new record.

Flight Of The Conchords readies audiences for second album.
Saturday:

*Pick of the Week*
Song, by Toad: “Things Which Are Pissing Me Off Today”. Basically, you do not want to piss off Toad. A humorous (albeit at the expense of Toad’s anger) read, with good tunes too.
