Despite a name that conjures…actually, I’m not sure what We The They conjures. And I don’t really care. I’m sure it’s something connotative or humorous, but even if it was something ridiculously emotorical (made up word -> reeking of emo metaphors) and cheesy, I wouldn’t care. Because their music puts a smile on my face,… Continue reading We The They beam vivacity

[Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
There have been a lot of videos lately that show extraordinary artistic presence and some that, despite being a giant creepfest, attempt to do something really different. Ear Pwr’s new video for “Future Eyes” is neither of these things, and that’s precisely why I like it. It’s just two kids and their friends having fun… Continue reading [Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
Illinois’ Adventures are complete
Emo cover art, much? After their critcally acclaimed What The Hell Do I Know, which dropped in ’07, the Illinois boys (from Pennsylvania…duh) are back with The Adventures of Kid Catasrophe, finally released in full yesterday (June 9). They’ve been teasing/pleasing us with a chapter (video and EP release) of Kid Catasrophe since November, but… Continue reading Illinois’ Adventures are complete
Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins
Having just been told about Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins (h/t Becca), based out of Boston (hometown nod), I’m frankly surprised I’m featuring them so quickly on the blog. But the music got me in a heartbeat, what with the enormously catchy piano riffs and a voice with a slight quirk that makes Rabdau stand… Continue reading Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins

Some br(easy) listening for a Saturday: Mary Stewart
Yes, breezy is spelled wrong purposely. It’s supposed to be clever. I realize it’s probably not. 🙁 Regardless, I proclaim today Mary Stewart day. From Nova Scotia, she fits the subdued mood quite well, as I can sit back, close my eyes and relax, watching birds swoon out the window while listening to her charming… Continue reading Some br(easy) listening for a Saturday: Mary Stewart
Marriage, oh so beautiful
Jamie’s sister is getting married today! You know, sometimes (ONLY sometimes) a music blog takes a back seat. He also doesn’t know I’m writing about this, so I hope he won’t mind, but hey! what’s a blog without some personal stuff eh? Congratulations Jamie family! [image art courtesy of Bambi Cantrell] My mixtape (which follows… Continue reading Marriage, oh so beautiful
Opposites attract: What’s Up and Lullatone
We recently received a couple nice mp3s from one of our trustworthy sources, but didn’t really expect to feature the songs because of the backlog of other material we have at hand. Well… I changed my mind – I’m posting them. When I listened to one right after the other, I thought about something bizarre… Continue reading Opposites attract: What’s Up and Lullatone
Ed Harcourt’s on my mind
A couple songs I’ve been listening to lately. Courtesy of London’s burgeoning (or maybe not. in the States? – thank you Jen) talent, Ed Harcourt. Purchase his most recent EP, Russian Roulette. He’s got the whole pop/folk charm down. I don’t really have much else to say currently soooo… that’s all. Ed Harcourt -“Born in… Continue reading Ed Harcourt’s on my mind
