Once upon a time I worked in a record shop. It was way back in the day when cassettes (and cassingles…heeehee!) were purchased with as much fervor as the compact disc. To compensate the gigantic wage that a retail shopgirl could pocket in the early-nineties, I worked at an indie bookstore as well. […]
Dabbles In Bloom are a super young band, and it shows through their music, but only in the best of ways. They’re a group of musicians out of Washington (state) who define “cute” indie pop, with jangly instrumentation and back and forth male-female vocals. Perfectly suited for kids’ commercials or a cut of […]
As you probably know, I’m a guy with a lot of street cred. So it’s only fitting I bring you a stream of Kanye West’s newest, “See Me Now,” which he just put online hours ago. And, honestly, I’m not the biggest proponent of that newfangled rap music, but […]
Don’t you just love foreign electronic pop?? Well DUH, of course you do! Maur Due & Lichter, out of Austria, bring to mind modern electro-pop outfits such as The Notwist and Lali Puna (two personal favorites) with their subdued, airy vocals and pressing electronica.
Maur Due & Lichter are two Viennese-based students in their […]
S. Carey, he of Bon Iver drummer fame and previously salivated-over tune, “In The Dirt”, released a new MP3 today, titled “In The Stream” from his forthcoming full-length, All We Grow. Piano and hushed vocals have become Carey’s strong suit (drums? psshhh), and he employs them to near perfection on “In The Stream”. […]
Elsinore released their much-anticipated album, Yes Yes Yes, today, along with an accompanying track for free download. I last provided you with “Yes Yes Yes”, the first promo song from the album, which melted me with super handclaps and an adorable sing-a-long chorus.
“Lines” is more subtle with its sound, but still has […]
Let’s call it friends re-introducing themselves to the idea of making music together.
Chicago’s Like Pioneers are set to physically release their debut album, Piecemeal, August 17, and it’s all sorts of awesome. Like Pioneers are six friends from various now-defunct groups who decided they just wanted to have some fun and play music […]
For all eight of you who haven’t seen Inception yet, well, this week’s video has nothing to do with the plot, so don’t worry: no spoilers here. But you guys should probably see the movie. It’s super good, and isn’t Leonardo DiCaprio a HUNK? I’m asking rhetorically, of course. I don’t know.
The video […]
Be prepared, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. The following content contains a major dose of lo-fi. (To put it lightly.)
The Cheniers come from the D.C. Metro area and are fronted by Knox Road friend and pop critic for The Washington Post, David Malitz. As Malitz told me, their sound is […]
Two female singer/songwriters in a row from me! You probably think I’m getting all soft on you. WELL…I am. But is there something so wrong with that?? I mean, come on, when we hear good music, that’s what we want to post, no matter what it is when it is. It’s kind of […]
