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”
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
This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.
Yes yes, more shows, no time, no money. Here’s where you can find all sorts of hip kids jammin’ out this week in the D.C./Baltimore area. Tuesday: Edie Sedgwick D.C.’s own crazy weirdo Edie Sedgwick (who we first talked about way back when) is coming to Sonar in Baltimore to channel the spirit of the… Continue reading This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.
Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria
Some relaxing, yet fulfilling music to start your day off, that’s for sure. Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (out of NYC) has a new album, Silent Show, out April 29 – which from what we’ve heard so far, displays a crisp instrumentative flair with piano as the backbone to the sound, filling out the… Continue reading Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria
An oldie but goodie
Yeah, it’s an old video (shout out to Ashley), so what? I’m left speechless watching. (“To Build A Home” = one of my favorite songs of all time. Way to pick up Patrick Watson for it, TCO.) Suitable for coming home on a weekend night. The Cinematic Orchestra – “To Build A Home” [MP3] (left… Continue reading An oldie but goodie
