Yeah. That’s tomorrow. At the Central Park Summerstage. Meaning outside in New York City. How often do you get to see one of the best-known live acts perform at such an incredible outdoors venue?? Just get there early; you’ll be facing quite the line. Don’t wanna drown in that old man’s B.O. in front of… Continue reading Explosions In The Sky performing at Central Park Summerstage June 30

The O’Darling prepare to release first full-length
Remember when I gushed over those wonderful Canadians, The O’Darling, way back when and mentioned that they were in the process of recording a full-length album for spring/summer time? Well that time is finally coming to an end, as The O’Darling have mastered the tracks and are just about ready to drop the new album.… Continue reading The O’Darling prepare to release first full-length
Beck covers more Velvet Underground: “I’m Waiting For The Man”
In Beck’s new “Record Club” project, he’s recording a bunch of covers with other musicians and stuff. His goal is to lay down albums worth of music in a short period of time. His first project is the Velvet Underground and the latest track is the infectious “I’m Waiting For The Man” (he already did… Continue reading Beck covers more Velvet Underground: “I’m Waiting For The Man”
[MP3] Mew – “Repeaterbeater”
I was going to post something really meaningful about this song, “Repeaterbeater,” the newest from Mew, but I figured it would be more meaningful to just write out the forthcoming album’s title. So: No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash… Continue reading [MP3] Mew – “Repeaterbeater”
Dinosaur Jr. is unique, but tiresome on Farm
Dinosaur Jr.’s Farm opens with a song called “Pieces” and it’s all too appropriate. The album is split up into several pieces (duh), they just all sound the same. After a long hiatus, the 80s/90s alternative group is back with their second comeback album. They say with age comes experience and musical maturity and these… Continue reading Dinosaur Jr. is unique, but tiresome on Farm
Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins release video for ‘Autumn Spills’
[myspace width=”550″ height=”360″]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=59399043[/myspace] Charming, colorful, quirky. I love this video (though, I’m partial; I love this song). If you have a REALLY short-term memory, this is the same Sarah RabDAU I just profiled the other day. See that post here. Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins – “Autumn Spills” [MP3] I guess it’s a piano-pop day,… Continue reading Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins release video for ‘Autumn Spills’
Regina Spektor’s Far is confident, polished, predictable
It’s that time again. Big review Tuesday. Though not quite as much of an anticipated release as say, Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest or Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Regina Spektor’s new effort, Far, still arrives with great excitement and fervor. And while Far is probably Spektor’s most ambitious album to date, it’s also the most unvaried –… Continue reading Regina Spektor’s Far is confident, polished, predictable

Low may or may not get low, depending on the circumstances
Hell, there’s a solid chance you’ve heard of Low. The band’s existed for sixteen years and have released eight full length albums, meaning Low has been around since even before MySpace (like, omgz, right?). I feel compelled to write about them, though, after stumbling across this incredible video, a performance of “Murderer” for a radio… Continue reading Low may or may not get low, depending on the circumstances
Quickly rising: Matt Haeck and his acoustic pop
I think a bit of a dilemma is occurring. I’m tempted to call these times the resurgence of acoustic pop, though I’m obviously aware that acoustic pop has been, and will always be, near the top of the music scene. But lately (I’m talking this decade) it has delivered more than its typical share of… Continue reading Quickly rising: Matt Haeck and his acoustic pop
