Animal Collective remix “Zero” [MP3]

  Last week you heard a 30 second preview of Animal Collective’s remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Zero,” but now you can hear the whole thing! It’s all kinds of artsy. If you thought the preview was good, you’ll definitely enjoy the full version. And if you didn’t, well don’t listen I guess… Yeah Yeah… Continue reading Animal Collective remix “Zero” [MP3]

New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

We received an email about a new track available for download from Papercuts, titled “You Can Have What You Want,” which was also featured as an NPR song of the day. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it because to be completely honest I haven’t heard much Papercuts before but if this song is… Continue reading New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

The mashed together album is raw and incredible.  The best way I can think of to describe tUnE-YaRdS is experimental folk. At points she… Continue reading tUnE-YaRdS

The Thermals are a little less angry, a little more depressing…

The Thermals have been known for their angsty social and political commentary. But on their new album, Now We Can See, they traded in their anger for frustrated depression. Because they refuse to be happy. Ever. Even a look at the new album cover tells a lot. A swan drifting in the moonlight is so… Continue reading The Thermals are a little less angry, a little more depressing…

Hands and Knees

Massachusetts’ Hands and Knees are your favorite band’s early years. You know, those days when they were kinda rough and didn’t bow to pop sensibilities and record labels and “money?” Because, let’s be real, who wants any of that action…? Me. But what’s great about Hands and Knees is they take all the cute rough… Continue reading Hands and Knees
