To say much about this song would take away from its inherent beauty. We talk a lot about the songs we post here; but experience comes first with music. (And, uh, we didn’t get much from the email, so that doesn’t help matters…) Listen to this song at night. It might be reminiscent of some… Continue reading [MP3] ortoPilot: “Stay One More Day”

Knox Road’s Christmas Mix
So last year, I did a series called “12 Days of Christmas Music” and it was great! Very much a lot of fun! But this December was kind of hectic, very much a lot of busy. So I’m going to have to make you wait until next year for a comprehensive, 12-day tour de force… Continue reading Knox Road’s Christmas Mix
[MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
We are not the first to post this song, I am aware of that. But, it doesn’t really matter. The much anticipated collaboration between James Mercer (of The Shins) and DJ Danger Mouse, Broken Bells, have released their first track for free, and we’d be remiss not to point it out to you fellow blog-reading… Continue reading [MP3] Broken Bells: “The High Road”
[Off My Radar] The Underwater Peoples Summertime Showcase
[Ed. Note: A lot of music comes out in a given year. I’m busy, ok? I don’t have all the time in the world to hear everything released and tell you about it. So I’ve decided to go back and visit all the great music that was, clearly, just off my radar.] This one is… Continue reading [Off My Radar] The Underwater Peoples Summertime Showcase
[MP3] Vampire Weekend: “White Sky”
MOREMOREMORE new Vampire Weekend?? Ok guys, let’s save it for the album release already. “White Sky” has been a staple in their live shows for a while, so I guess it’s not particularly “new” for those hip on VW’s every move. For the rest of us, it’s the latest leak from the band’s upcoming sophomore… Continue reading [MP3] Vampire Weekend: “White Sky”
Nice Purse are the acoustic wild children in us all
Haven’t you always secretly wanted to join a band that’s strictly two acoustic guitars, basic percussion, harmonizing and shouting? Come on, I know you have. If Where The Wild Things Are taught me anything it’s that we’re all secretly crazy inside (right?). So THANK GOD Nice Purse is around to represent the wild child we… Continue reading Nice Purse are the acoustic wild children in us all

Indian Wars release “If You Want Me” 7″
Vancouver, B.C.’s Indian Wars recently signed to Bachelor Records and promptly released a four-song 7″, If You Want Me, that can only be an omen of good things to come. The title track, the amazing gritty-ass anthem, “If You Want Me,” is old news, but “Just Can’t Get Along With You,” is new news and great… Continue reading Indian Wars release “If You Want Me” 7″
[MP3] Papercuts: “White are the Waves”
When I woke up today, I was totally feeling some quiet, old-fashioned-sounding pop. Which is weird, because usually I just feel tired and roll over and curse at the heavens. But today was different! And San Franciscans (Franciscoans? Franciscers?) Papercuts delivered with their new song, “White are the Waves.” The song sounds like a ditty… Continue reading [MP3] Papercuts: “White are the Waves”
[MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”
Fredrik offered up a new mp3 today along with an accompanying video over at Stereogum, and they’re both awesome. The video is all sorts of eerie, as was said previously about Fredrik’s “Locked in the Basement” track, so their forthcoming album, Trilogi, appears to be getting darker by the day. I’ve said plenty about Fredrik… Continue reading [MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”
