Frightened Rabbit, the awesome Scottish band that seems to be perpetually going through a bad break up, is coming out with a new album! It’s going to be called The Winter of Mixed Drinks (natch), and it’s due out in March 2010. The band will also set out on a “full North American tour” in… Continue reading Frightened Rabbit set to release third album in March 2010
Hey look it’s the trailer for the new Clint Eastwood movie or whatever
So Clint Eastwood has a movie coming out called Invictus, and it’s so Oscar Baitey that it makes Crash look like Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It stars Morgan Freeman and a blond Matt Damon, and the first official trailer was released today. I like Oscar-type movies, the snob I am, but after watching this…seriously? What… Continue reading Hey look it’s the trailer for the new Clint Eastwood movie or whatever

[MP3] Me’shell Ndegeocello: “Bright Shiny Morning”
This track is for all you haters who think we aren’t diverse enough ’round these KR parts. Well, lemme tell ya, we listen to a plethora of different genres within our little indie music world, so don’t think we limit ourselves to a certain type. While, obviously, we have preferences (including differences among each writer,)… Continue reading [MP3] Me’shell Ndegeocello: “Bright Shiny Morning”
Los Campesinos! announce new album details!
I’ll be honest: I’ve never been too big a fan of Los Campesinos! It was just one of those bands I never really went out of my way to listen to, and as much as people seemed to like them, I simply never had much of a desire to check them out. But when they… Continue reading Los Campesinos! announce new album details!
Tegan and Sara release video for “Hell”
I can’t even begin to express how excited I am for tomorrow’s official release of Tegan and Sara’s newest album, Sainthood. Teasers aplenty in the meantime, including this video playing off the “twin thing”. (Note: I am a twin as well. Fraternal, though. And different sexes. So yeah, I guess this doesn’t resonate at all.)… Continue reading Tegan and Sara release video for “Hell”
James Yuill
Been listening a lot lately to James Yuill‘s Turning Down Water For Air, an album released back in January of this year, and frustrated is the first emotion that comes to mind; why have I not listened sooner? Yuill’s music is right up my alley with electroacoustic digs and a distinct folk vocal tone; he… Continue reading James Yuill
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
If you’ve been spending your days and nights trying to catch up on all the good TV this fall (there’s so much!) you probably haven’t been reading Knox Road. But I mean, Tina Fey and Joel McHale vs. The guys of KR? Talk about hotties vs. notties! The best vs. the not so much the… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 10.25
We had special guest Sadie on to discuss why she loves Metric (yay) and other similar female fronted groups but not Florence + The Machine (wtf??). This was particularly intriguing for Jon and me, as we love just about everything Florence. Check out the full show (starts 20 seconds in) and playlist below. Knox Road… Continue reading Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 10.25
