Pitchfork is streaming the wonderful Sigur Ros documentary Heima for one week.  I got it on dvd the first week it came out and loved it.  Fans of Sigur Ros should take some time out of their day to watch this if you haven’t yet.  I’m not sure when the week is up, so I’d [...]

In case you missed it.  This happened at some wine company’s warehouse and had something like $150,000 worth of damage.  Makes those “need to get away” commercials look like nothing.

  Jay Farrar

One Fast More or I’m Gone, the collaboration soundtrack by Gibbard and Farrar for the new movie about Karouac, is pretty dang good.  So, when Michelle told me she saw the recent NPR concert and asked I I would want her to write a guest review, I answered with a definite yes.  So, without further [...]

Where the Wild Things AreDirected by: Spike JonezPerch Score: 8.899/10It goes without saying that I was more than excited to finally see Spike Jonez’ film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are.  All the controversy with the studios and that whole backstory was almost old news to me by this point, and I was just [...]

  The Bowery

I had intended on reviewing Firekites’ album The Bowery a while ago, but I guess it never got past the point of being just a draft.  I liked what I wrote, but I think I’ll just scrap that draft and write up a quick one that gets right to the point.  Firekites’ album The Bowery [...]

  Zookeeper's Boy

Here’s a little Mew for you.  I always enjoyed this band, but had to be in the mood to listen to an album the whole way through.  Today, for whatever reason, was one of those days I was really in the mood to listen to some Mew.  They recently played on AOL’s Interface, and it [...]

Well, I posted behind the scenes stuff for Where the Wild Things Are, so why not give Fantastic Mr. Fox equal dues.  Here’s a behind the scenes video that shows some of the technology that went into making Wes Andersen’s new film, and how Andersen was able to juggle everything without having to actually be [...]

Jack and the gang from Steel Train have a new EP coming out called Steel Train is Here and they’re giving away the song “You and I Undercover” for free if you sign up for their mailing list.  Listen to the stream below, but I think that’s a pretty fair trade considering how good the [...]

I loved this little 5 minute mini-doc about Karen O and Spike Jonze working together to make the soundtrack.Look at this!  Seems like yours truly might be using imeem’s embeddable feature a lot more if it means you can stream whole albums.  If you haven’t listened to the album, by all means give the stream [...]

I can not wait for October 27th to arrive, the date when Glen and Marketa’s new album Strict Joy is finally released.  The Once soundtrack made my top album of the year, and the movie remains one of my all time favorites.  In anticipation for their upcoming album, I did a little digging for new [...]

  There’s Too Much Love

Sufjan’s been off the radar for some time.  It’s been four years since Illinoise was released, and one of my favorite all-time singer/songwriters simply just dropped off the face of the Earth.  Was I surprised?  Not in the least.  Sufjan’s always shyed away from the spotlight, as proven by him dropping that 50 states/50 albums [...]
