Victoria Bergsman practically became a household name with her appearance on Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks”. Her own music project Taken By Trees ain’t too shabby either. Taken By Trees is set to release a new album, East Of Eden, on September 8th via Rough Trade. The album was recorded in Pakistan as Bergsman [...]

DC’s Le Loup started making waves with the release of the Throne Of The Third Heaven Of The Nations’ Millennium General Assembly which crippled bloggers with it’s lengthy title but healed them with the lovely indie rock goodness sounding much like a mash of Polyphonic Spree, Arcade Fire, and MGMT. Well they’re back again with [...]

Tonight Baltimore seems like the place to be with Dungen, Woods, and Ask The Idea going on at the Ottobar and Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, Alasdair Roberts, and The Dodgers performing at the Golden West Cafe. Also No Rule continues at the Metro Gallery. This week Guns Garcia, Lady Prowl, and some extra special guests will [...]

Chicago’s Netherfriends caught my attention with their Feather & Dots 3 track 7″. It was overflowing with layered (but not heavy and dense) experimental folk-ish pop rock. You could say they sounded like Annuals meet Animal Collective, but a bit lighter. Since then they’ve signed with Emergency Umbrella Records and released a seven song EP, [...]

Awwwwwww…..YEAH! Woodhands have just put out a super sinister remix of Peter Bjorn and John’s “Nothing To Worry About” and it makes me want to pull out an old school Commodore 64 and rock me some Spy hunter or Pole Position…or just dance like a fool.mp3: Peter Bjorn and John – Nothing To Worry About [...]

Hey it’s Sunday and remember that every Sunday night in August Big In Japan will coat their music all over the walls of the Wind Up Space here in Baltimore. Down in DC Woods play a special show at DC9. Meanwhile up in Philly Kurt Vile and others play Vox Populi. Also the Philadelphia Folk [...]

Wye Oak have announce a sweet and sugary mega fall tour with Blitzen Trapper (they stop by Baltimore on October 10th to the Ottobar ->more dates after the jump). To help celebrate Baltimore’s own hip hop artist Mickey Free (of Height With Friends fame) did a GREAT remix of Wye Oak’s “That I Do” off [...]

Also in town are Caverns who play the Hexagon with Nighthorse, Solar Powered Sun Destroyer, and Lexanne. Over at the Ottobar The Low Anthem and Langhorne Slim bring their tour to Charm City. Down in DC [...]

Oh Radiohead thou art an enigma of beauty. A few weeks back every one becamea buzz when you Mr. Yorke premiered some new “Radiohead” tracks live. That began this rollercoaster. Then it was just a moment ago when you put forth your somber memorial track for Harry Patch and reminded us the true range of [...]

Tonight there’s nothing but rock going on at the Metro Gallery here in Baltimore when Karmella’s Game, Arden, and The Firecrackers take the stage. Also just a reminder that sadly the Bat For Lashes show at the Ottobar has been canceled. Down in DC there’s a massive extravaganza going on at the Rock and Roll [...]

The Big Pink are starting to get big I see (but not pink as far as I can tell) and that shouldn’t really surprise me considering that their single “Dominos”, off of the upcoming 4AD release A Brief History Of Love, is modern pop-ish rock at it’s finest. Nothing fancy – just catchy as hell, [...]

The Very Best’s Warm Heart Of Africa album/first single is on the tip of everyone’s ear being hyped all over – and with good cause. The Esau Mwamwaya and DJ Radioclit duo produced a supreme free mixtape last year and this debut album looks to follow suit. Recently Architecture In Helsinki and Metronomy each took [...]

Tonight in Baltimore don’t miss out on what is sure to be a great show at the Golden West Cafe with Thee Lexington Arrows, The New Dumb (from Boston), and FFHH. Elsewhere the Budos Band plays the Black Cat down in DC with Chopteeth while up in Philly The Pretenders, Cat Power, and Juliette Lewis [...]

The other week Stardeath and White Dwarfs‘ The Birth LP appeared on my doorstep. I had never heard of them, but the album cover looked very Flaming Lips-ish so I figured that could be a good thing. Their name, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, screams psychedelic rock and the way the opening track “The Sea Of [...]

I guess a song as garish as N.A.S.A.’s “Whachadoin?” featuring an allstar lineup of M.I.A., Santigold, and Spankrock deserves a video with as much spectacle. Visuals that seemingly combine an overly saturated cell phone commercial, the power rangers, multiplied times a thousand. If you need to wake up…simply watch:extra ->mp3: N.A.S.A. – Whachadoin? (Villains Remix)mp3: [...]

Sorry for the overload on PBJ lately but…um…I like them. That being said I shouldn’t be surprised that The Knocks remake of Peter Bjorn and John’s “It Don’t Move Me” is a solid dance floor version that gets me moving the right direction. It doesn’t “move me” (har har word play) like the Weird Tapes [...]

Tonight is fairly light on entertainment, but if I had to choose I head over to Rams Head Live here in Baltimore to see the legendary De La Soul take the stage. Besides the whole Bionix deal De La are one of my faves of all time when hip hop is concerned. If you happen [...]

I could back up my love for Toronto’s Zeus by letting you know they’ve just signed to the fabulous label Arts & Crafts (who never seems to disappoint) which is releasing their debut EP Sounds Like Zeus. Or I could clue you in that the two main members Mike O’Brien and Carlin Nicholson have been [...]

Fool’s Gold’s “Surprise Hotel” is an afro-beat seashore summer jammy jam that may sound like many musics being hyped these days, but man this song is a high tide groove! Micachu & The Shapes chop the song in half for their remix. They also dice it, saute it, spice it, and move it from the [...]

Peter Bjorn and John are pretty swell, if you haven’t figured that out already. To show more of their swellness they went out and did a bang up remix of the popular Miike Snow song “Animal”. Basically Peter Bjorn and John turned the track into one of their own by lifting the drums and replacing [...]
