MGMT’s video for “Congratulations” tells us where stars are born

I think I’m getting used to MGMT videos now. Are they weird, odd, against the grain? Yes. But does that make them bad or unwatchable? Never! I’m sure they represent things that are very deep and meaningful! And visually they’re always interesting and unique! In this one we have our familiar heros traveling through some… Continue reading MGMT’s video for “Congratulations” tells us where stars are born

[MP3] Kurran and the Wolfnotes: “Your Four Limbs”

Nothing like a catchy, British pop rock ditty to get you going on a dreary day. I add British because come on, they typically capture the indie rock sound way better than Americans. Don’t deny the truth! Kurran and the Wolfnotes will officially release “Your Four Limbs” September 13, as a single on Chess Club… Continue reading [MP3] Kurran and the Wolfnotes: “Your Four Limbs”

[MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: “Movin’ On To Avalon”

Weird music is all the craze these days, ya know? But what does “weird” actually mean, if everything we’re listening to is “weird”? Something different? Straying entirely from the mainstream? So then, what becomes the mainstream, at least in indie music? So many questions, I know (and most are questions several of you have been… Continue reading [MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: “Movin’ On To Avalon”

Hey everyone, let’s stream the brand new out-of-nowhere Sufjan Stevens EP

Sufjan Stevens EP, what?? I don’t know, took me by surprise too. I really don’t have anything to say at the moment, I’m stunned into silence. It’s called All Delighted People, and it’s available for streaming and $5 purchase on the not-quite-prolific artist’s bandcamp. Take a sneaky peek below. I’m personally only about halfway through… Continue reading Hey everyone, let’s stream the brand new out-of-nowhere Sufjan Stevens EP

[Stream] Justin Bieber’s 35-minute ambient opus

Can you believe this is going to be my second post mentioning Justin Bieber on Knox Road? I have good reason, I promise.

[MP3s] Lucy Schwartz: “Rain City” + “Graveyard”

Lucy Schwartz was recently crowned with KCRW’s top tune for “Rain City”, a track off her forthcoming full length, Life In Letters. In case you forget, Schwartz is a mere 20 years of age, and is already making (/has made) major strides in the industry.

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Trying to get things back in order here lately as we’re all up to no good outside the blog. (Like, um, moving, looking for jobs, getting sick, and lots of other crazy party animal type shenanigans!) Thanks for sticking around, hopefully you caught some enjoyable music this week while finally cooling off with the weather… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Swell Season covers Neutral Milk Hotel

I’ve been a fan of the A.V. Club Undercover series for months now, and I feel like it hasn’t really caught on like it should, considering the incredible quality of a couple of entries. The premise is some artist or band comes in to the publication’s office and covers another song they chose from a… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Swell Season covers Neutral Milk Hotel
