Rod Thomas
A SXSW performer, playing March 18, 20 and 21, who I unfortunately left out of my mini-series: Rod Thomas, singer/songwriter out of the UK, not to be confused with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. His songs all sound pretty similar to each other, but nothing wrong with that when that sound is awesome! On his… Continue reading Rod Thomas

The USB memory stick mixtape
This is really cool. It’s basically just a USB memory stick packaged in what looks like an old school mixtape. The idea is, you make a folder of MP3s (64 MB max) and put them on the memory stick and give it to somebody as a mixtape. Cool, no? As somebody who used to spend… Continue reading The USB memory stick mixtape

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah debuted a song, “Statues,” on Jimmy Fallon last night and then turned around and released the MP3. So far, it’s had mixed reviews. I’ve decided to remain impartial on this one. Judge for yourself! Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – “Statues” [MP3]
All of Us/None of Us
California duo All of Us/None of Us is such a throwback to the 90s, I can’t help but love them. Don’t misinterpret that, they are their own original sound that is totally relevant today. But listening to them, I get this great Folk Implosion meets Radiohead vibe that seems like it should have been made… Continue reading All of Us/None of Us

Akron/Family, from Williamsport, PA (in the middle of like, nowhere, trust me), is releasing their new full-length, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free, on May 5. The first single and the album opener, “Everyone is Guilty,” is full of that awesome “we’re compensating for living in the middle of a boring state” energy (no offense meant… Continue reading New Akron/Family: “Everyone is Guilty”

I’m sure Yeah Yeah Yeahs had an awesome plan for releasing their latest album, It’s Blitz, but since it leaked that plan is over. The band condemned the early leaks on their blog, and moved up the release date to March 9. From the blog: “YYYs have been brimming with nervous excitement in anticipation of… Continue reading Yeah Yeah Yeahs make weird It’s Blitz ads and move up release
