There are many artists out there that really give me a tough time getting used to their sound. Granted, once I do, I don’t understand how I didn’t like the music before (yes, Dirty Projectors, you are finally in that category for me.) So it’s surprising when I’m smitten almost instantaneously by a certain band/artist/sound/whatever,… Continue reading Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation

[MP3] Squirrelhouse: “Apocalypso”
It’s been too long since we’ve heard from Squirrelhouse, am I right? Remember Squirrelhouse? The five-piece band from Tuscaloosa I talked about way back in February? Well they’re going to be releasing a new album in 2010 (their first, SPQR, is definitely worth a listen) and to get everybody psyched for it, they’ve released the first… Continue reading [MP3] Squirrelhouse: “Apocalypso”

Knox Road Radio playlist for 11.8.09
Unfortunately, something was screwy with the stream ripper at the radio station and today’s show wasn’t properly archived in mp3 format. So you cannot listen to it. Fortunately, we had fun, and that’s all that really matters right?? Fun Fun Fun. No, we’re not at that Austin fest; we can get down ourselves, thank you… Continue reading Knox Road Radio playlist for 11.8.09

Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend
Wunderkid Will Stratton‘s newest LP, No Wonder, dropped earlier this week and I’d be remiss not to share my thoughts. I know very little about Stratton, except that Mr. Nobody, Sufjan Stevens, made an appearance on his first album, What The Night Said, which garnered much critical praise. His voice is eerily reminiscent of Nick… Continue reading Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend
