The Woodlands: Even The Decemberists “dig” their music!
Portland husband and wife duo, The Woodlands, is adorable. That’s just fact. Any time love, acoustic guitars and indie music comes into play it’s going to be great (see: She & Him). Even better, they call the Pacific Northwest home! Anybody who’s been there can tell you it’s pretty much the cutest place ever (they… Continue reading The Woodlands: Even The Decemberists “dig” their music!
Back To Save The Universe reps College Park with From The Front Lines of the Good Fight
Here in College Park, a certain breed of bands tends to pop up. A breed best characterized as, how should I put this, “jammy.” Judgement reserved. But breaking that barrier is Back To Save The Universe. Like Barenaked Ladies with jazzier drumming. In fact, despite frontman Andrew Grossman’s cutesy lyrics andĀ Mike Seiler’s melodic keys, the… Continue reading Back To Save The Universe reps College Park with From The Front Lines of the Good Fight
Panama Kings unreleased track
Panama Kings (out of Belfast) are releasing a new single on May 11th called “Golden Recruit.” After checking out the myspace of these guys, I decided that I would probably be alright to sway back and forth and bob my head in rhythmic fashion while their music is playing.

A Comment About Youth
I never thought that I would care about getting older and having my tastes change. It really should not be a big deal. I guess that I might have to take a job that will require a lot of time…but I’ll still be able to enjoy the same things right? Music is a passion to… Continue reading A Comment About Youth
Built to Spill, Raveonettes, Frightened Rabbit in Siren Festival 2009 initial lineup
So I’ve been waiting for this for months (and here I am, posting it 6 days late). In my opinion the best small summer music festival, Sirenfest, is back with a date and an initial 2009 lineup. If you’re unfamiliar with the annual show, it’s a free, one-day festival at Coney Island, NY.
