I know exactly what you’ve always wanted. Here it is. The best thing ever: Oh, oops! My bad again, you guys. I meant the worst thing ever. Look “Dubbo Show,” animals do not belong in costumes. They don’t like them. They never will. Just like your dog hates being dressed up like a bumble bee… Continue reading It’s a duck fashion parade kind of day

[MP3] WHY?/Themselves: “Canada”
Unique hip-hop/indie acts WHY? and Themselves have teamed up to throw down a nice, soft little track about relationships or something (“You show your pinkest parts in my absence”). Yikes! Well, who ever said music has to be optimistic! It’s an interesting downscaled tune from the two that does well with loops and layered lyrical… Continue reading [MP3] WHY?/Themselves: “Canada”

Notable Album Release: Owen – New Leaves
Ever since I turned my ears onto the indie music scene, Mike Kinsella, most notably of Owen and American Football fame, has truly been one of my favorite artists. A recent post by good guy Ack over at Herohill about Owen finally heading to his Halifax, Candian home reminded me to turn over your attention… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Owen – New Leaves

[MP3] The Alexandria Kleztet: “Cantina Band”
Normally I wouldn’t give much mind to a CD in my mailbox from a Klezmer band. I appreciate the thought, guys! That’s just not really what we do here. But I thought I would give the D.C.-area Alexandria Kleztet a chance. And it’s a good thing I did! In between their traditional Jewish Klezmer songs… Continue reading [MP3] The Alexandria Kleztet: “Cantina Band”
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
You were WAY too busy rewatching old episodes of Reading Rainbow to read Knox Road this week. I know, it’s over for good. Yes, it was a great show for children. But I emphasize for children. Let’s do some grown-up things, ok? Like maybe buy groceries, or do laundry, but especially get up-to-date on the… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Phenomenal video Saturday: Radiohead, ondes Martenot edition
I’ve been waiting, like, days to post this video, because it’s phenomenal, you see, and I have to reserve such phenomenal videos for Saturday. I guess. First iteration of PVS is right here. This week we have a performance of Radiohead‘s “How to Disappear Completely,” a favorite of mine, performed live by Thom Yorke, Johnny… Continue reading Phenomenal video Saturday: Radiohead, ondes Martenot edition
The Library is oh so nice
First off: how can you beat free music? The answer is you can’t beat free music, at all, ever, under any circumstances. And, hey, what’s that? Brooklyn’s The Library is giving away its album, The Life and Times of Rosa Lee, for free? Sign me up! Free music is not always quality music, though, and… Continue reading The Library is oh so nice
New Exit Clov/Jukebox the Ghost side project, Drunken Sufis, to hold album release show August 30 in NYC
Well, this was totally unexpected. Two D.C. bands with close ties to Knox Road, Exit Clov and Jukebox the Ghost, have teamed up with various members of each to form a side-project, Drunken Sufis. Drunken Sufis display a political conspiracy-themed punk music so entirely different than the melodic pop rock of both Exit Clov and… Continue reading New Exit Clov/Jukebox the Ghost side project, Drunken Sufis, to hold album release show August 30 in NYC
