In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
In case you missed it, Jack White started a new band. I forgive you though. You probably confused it with his 5,000 other self-created bands. But I don’t forgive all the other things you’ve missed this past week at Knox Road, so this is your last chance to redeem yourself! Ahem, the KR Week in… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review

Flash(not so far)back: The Format
That headline made me sad to type. There was a period of high school during which I listened to The Format (primarily Arizona natives Sam Means and Nate Ruess, though their tours included many other members) non-stop, as some of my friends can attest. They put out some of the catchiest pop songs I had… Continue reading Flash(not so far)back: The Format
Old guy defends Rihanna’s honor – with the power of MUSIC!!
Middle-aged man Bert Griffin wrote this awesome country-rock (??) song called “Rhianna’s Song (Bitch Slapping Brown).” You have to wait for the chorus (at about 1:21), but it’s totally worth it to hear cries of “Bitch slappin’ Brown / Bitch slapped his baby down.” You WISH your dad (grandpa?) was this cool. I already know… Continue reading Old guy defends Rihanna’s honor – with the power of MUSIC!!
St. Vincent announces U.S. tour. NOT Canada.
Everybody’s favorite, St. Vincent, announced a spring/summer tour of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. That’s because she’s an American and that’s where music should be played. The Canada snub aside, this tour should be sweet.

Apple’s new indie sampler: Dance and Electronic
Apple came out with one of their sporadic installments of free indie spotlight samplers yesterday for all to redeem and download. This mix is slightly surprising considering they usually spotlight singer/songwriters and more accessible stuff to the “common folk” (thought that’s not the case for their recently launched indie spotlight section in the iTunes store).… Continue reading Apple’s new indie sampler: Dance and Electronic
New Arbouretum: “False Spring”
Baltimore’s own Arbouretum just released “False Spring,” the lead track and first single off their new LP, Song of the Pearl. The track is nice and folky and runs long (nearly 6 minutes), just like it should! The album is out now on Thrill Jockey. Arbouretum – “False Spring” [MP3] Arbouretum on Myspace
