I am seeing Radiohead in five days. Five freaking days. But, I'm also seeing Grizzly Bear and that brings me no small amount of joy in itself. This will be the first time I've seen the Brooklyn harmony experts, and I'm psyched to say the least. There new record is shaping up to be pretty wonderful if the Letterman appearances are any indication, and let's not forget about Daniel's Jo Jo coveri...

Sometimes songs, great songs, can be far more effective when performed with voice and minimal instrumental accompaniment. That's the test of a truly great song, does it sound as good with one guitar in your bedroom as it does through the studio monitors?This song passes with flying colors: actually, it never even caught my ear on the record, but man is this version of it amazing. Zooey's voice ...

That's right, Byrne & Eno will release the follow up to 1981's My Life in The Bush Of Ghosts on August 18th via the album's website - the lead "single" Strange Overtones will be available for free on August 4th. Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is described as an "Electronic Gospel" album. Other than that I know nothing, other than I am beside myself with joy.~~

This is super cool, Jason Munn of The Small Stakes, arguably Indie Rock's foremost thing-maker, has teamed up with O.G. web-order site Insound to bring you Insound 20. Insound 20 is basically a bunch of super limited, super awesome looking shirts and hoodies being sold by Insound. Apparently, the poster benefits chrity, while the rest of it benefits insound and presumably the artists (Thanks to...

You may be wondering why none of the mp3's are working here on HTFAF today. Through a mixup involving one file I wasn't even sharing, that was being stored on my webspace my Dreamhost account was canceled (Donate to the new hosting fund by clicking that button to the right if you feel like it). We're working on finding a new and more dependable host for mp3's and should have it resolved in the ...

This is going to strike a chord of concern for my mental well-being with a lot of you, but i really love rain and inclimate weather. Sure, sunny and seventy-five is great and I love it as much as the next guy, but it gets boring, hot, and terribly unexciting. For this reason, I love storms, which is why I was overjoyed to see that every single day in the 10 day forecast for here in Nashville in...

We're big fans of this generation's Randy Newman; the sultan of song, proud Nashvillian, friend to the shat: Mr. Ben Folds, so imagine our glee when these detail showed up in our inbox this morning after waiting three years for a follow-up to his last full-length solo LP (of new material).

I was watching television last night when an infomercial came on selling a "Best hits of the seventies" compilation. The track-listing was about 90 percent ridiculous: all disco, early hair rock (and not the good ones), and a few good tracks from Marvin Gaye & Al Green thrown in as if that made the rest of the collection better.
