--- - |- You Should KnowOne of my favorite things to do is drive up North into the mountains of Georgia and North Carolina. Bowery Boy Blue's new album Stalk That Myth sounds like the perfect companion to the winding narrow roads of that terrain. Set to be released tomorrow, Bowery Boy Blue's new album is also tailor-made for fans of Neil Young, Will Oldham, and Magnolia Electric Co. Developed...

--- - |- New WaxI must admit that when I gave the new Glissando album its first spin, I feared another bland entry from the increasingly homogenized post-rock factory. Sometimes it's great to be wrong. Fresh from Gizeh's UK presses, Glissando's With Our Arms Wide Open We March Towards the Burning Sea feels austere and glacial; it will move you, however slowly. To delightful effect, much of the...

--- - |- New WaxGrouper is Portland songwriter Liz Harris, and information on her is somewhat scarce so the music will have to do the talking. Listening to her new album Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill feels like a Vicodin-induced haze. Like that time I flipped my car on the interstate and wrecked my arm and they gave me enough pills to numb a killer whale. Grouper's new album is chalk-full of ...

--- - |- New Wax Sometime it takes seeing a band up close to truly appreciate their significance. While I liked what I'd heard from The Avett Brothers, they didn't become one of my favorite bands until I saw them play live. There is an energy and presence there seldom attained by other bands. Apparently that energy was enough to impress Rick Rubin, who has signed to band to Columbia imprint A...

You don't festoon the batsuit with man-nipples either. You pull in some serious talent and a solid script. And when fans identify Katie Holmes as the weakest link in an otherwise stellar movie, you find an excuse to...

--- - |- You Should KnowWhile Danny Seim is probably better known as the drummer from Menomena, he's actually been recording under the Lackthereof name since 1997. Granted, the first six Lackthereof albums were CD-R's given away to friends, but that all ended in 2004 when Portland label FILMguerrero released the album Christian the Christian. Now signed to the always reliable Barsuk Records, D...

--- - |- New Wax Comprised of a startlingly young trio of South Londoners, Our Sleepless Forest may have struck ambient/experimental/space rock gold with their eponymous debut album. Well-caffeinated, I sat here puzzling over what to review: this album or the latest release from The World on Higher Downs. I finally realized Our Sleepless Forest offers more complexity—more daring. The group co.

--- - |- You Should KnowPaleo is David Andrew Strackany and his prolificness as a songwriter makes Ryan Adams seem like a slackass. From April 2006 to April 2007, Paleo undertook and successfully completed a project entitled The Song Diary. Every single day during that timespan, Paleo recorded a song. As if this wasn't impressive enough, he did so while touring and traveling through 152 cities...

--- - |- You Should KnowSome people hate them and think they are trashy. Some people merely view them as a form of artistic expression. I happen to fall in the latter category and I've always got my eyes peeled for innovative and new styles in all forms of art, including tattoo artwork. Awhile back a friend of mine pointed me to a site called Your Meat Is Mine, which features the tattoo work o...
