“Men and Women From Ontario. We Play Music.” Such is the about section on MySpace for The Two Minute Miracles. And next to their profile reads, “Languishing in Obscurity.” Also, their website is completely incomprehensible (to me.) Even this photo is a blur. But you know what? Sometimes we don’t need huge long explanations about… Continue reading The Two Minute Miracles

Chris Price: from porn music to pop music
So D.C. musician/DJ Chris Price used to make music for porn. Or as his biography says, “adult entertainment.” Ok Chris, you can keep it classy, I’ma call it porn. From his bio: Recording under the pseudonym D’Crescendo, his original compositions quickly became a mainstay — oftentimes overshadowing even the actors and storylines of the films themselves.… Continue reading Chris Price: from porn music to pop music
Thom Yorke fails at remixing DOOM
I know it’s Thom Yorke and he’s a genius and all, but his remix of Doom’s EPIC “Gazzillion Ear” is a FAIL. It’s everything I don’t want it to be. It’s boring, it’s ambient, it’s pretentious. It basically takes out everything that was cool about the song (sans vocals) and replaces it with weird Thom Yorkian stuff.… Continue reading Thom Yorke fails at remixing DOOM
Rainbow Arabia video: “Omar K”
Remember when I said that music videos in 2009 are so good because maybe art does better in a recession blah blah? Well this new Rainbow Arabia video isn’t exactly what I meant, but it’s still really cool. Oh, also a little disturbing. But only a little. Join the party or die. Rainbow Arabia –… Continue reading Rainbow Arabia video: “Omar K”
Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’
Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce. This time we provide an ultra special treat though: the benefit concert is happening right at the… Continue reading Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’
New Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria song
Of course this would happen. Merely two days after posting about Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (I’d link to the post but like, all you have to do is scroll down…) they come out with another new song from their upcoming cd, Silent Show. Because of the extremely positive reader response to the previous… Continue reading New Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria song
Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”
Dayliner just released their latest monthly song, this time titled “Mrs. Kuwaltz”, and I’m starting to think it’s my favorite song yet from them – mostly because of the enormous potential on display. It strays a bit from their previous arrangements and shows us that they may have a little progressive rock in them yet.… Continue reading Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”
The Vaselines announce “tour dates”
I understand that older bands can’t tour very much, what with the back pains and arthritis and family yadda yadda. But I’m sorely disappointed Scotland’s The Vaselines, who Kurt Cobain like worshipped, are only doing a few dates primarily on the West Coast. Seriously, they have two shows in California, one in Oregon, another in… Continue reading The Vaselines announce “tour dates”
I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post
I don’t get taxes. Why we have them or how to do them or why if my address is in Pennsylvania I send my forms to Missouri (seriously, wtf). So because I’m pretty much FML right now (SO trendy to say), I’m going to post this cop out post that has songs involving taxes and… Continue reading I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post
Knox Road interview with Exit Clov
With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov
