Matador has released a look at Harlem’s second LP, Hippies, in the form of a song about ghosts (??). “Friendly Ghost” is a fitting title as the song is certainly much more friendly than the stuff from their debut record, Free Drugs. I’ll be honest, one of the things I’ve always loved about Harlem is… Continue reading [MP3] Harlem: “Friendly Ghost”

[MP3] Liars: “Scissor”
LiarsLiarsLiars!! One of my favorite bands in the whole world will be releasing their fifth full-length, Sisterworld, on March 9, but we have the first listen today!

Hot Chip is so exciting everybody! We all love them with all our hearts, right? I do. “[Like Hot Chip] right or pay the price!!” a surly camp counselor once said.

[MP3] Beck: “Harry Partch”
You like feuds, right? Because this new Beck song is the baby of the feud of the year and it’s pretty messy. The story goes like this: Radiohead wrote a song back in August about Harry Patch, the UK’s oldest surviving WWI veteran (aww!). Well The Fiery Furnaces’ Matthew Friedberger heard this and mistook it… Continue reading [MP3] Beck: “Harry Partch”
[MP3] Harlem: “Sometimes (Flamin’ Groovies cover)”
It’s a good thing You Ain’t No Picasso has been keeping close tabs on Austin band Harlem, because I almost missed this one! The boys like doing covers and their latest attempt is “Sometimes,” originally released in 1965 by Paul Revere And The Raiders. Story goes, though, that Harlem never heard the original, just the… Continue reading [MP3] Harlem: “Sometimes (Flamin’ Groovies cover)”
