I’ve been meaning to write up a review for Manchester Orchestra’s new release, Mean Everything to Nothing, which is just fantastic and was definitely worth the long wait, so look for that review soon, but in the mean time, the band are releasing a video for each song on the album one at a time [...]

The guys from Bossasaurus emailed me a few days ago, and I just had to write up a little post on them. Not only are they super talented dj’s, pumping out tunes the like of DJ Shadow, they’re also goofy as hell. Just watch the promo video below and you’ll see. Here’s a link to [...]

I’ve read plenty of reviews for this movie after I saw it, as it’s jam packed with plot and things happening, thus it can be pretty confusing, but I didn’t like the professional take most reviews had. So, I’m going to do the opposite and keep it stream of consciousness style, which, with a movie [...]

I tried to avoid it, and I’m not sure how dedicated I’ll be to it, but I gave in and am on twitter now. I’ll give quick updates on there in between posts about music tidbits I come across, but I’ll probably end up just writing little thoughts I have in my head. My brain [...]

I can’t remember the last time I watched a live performance and couldn’t stop smiling and thinking, Heck yeah, this is incredible. Oh wait, yeah I do. I was the last time I saw Radiohead live in St. Louis. I guess what I’m trying to say is Radiohead killed it at the Grammy’s playing “15 [...]

Surfing through the digg main page today led me to this wonderful stop-motion video for Oren Lavie’s “Her Morning Elegance”. I’ve never heard his music, but after seeing this great music video and hearing the amazing song behind it, I’ve gone on a one man mission to find out more about this guy. Very Nick [...]

The music news just keeps pouring in. And the best part is the majority of it is news about albums I’ve been waiting a long time to hear. First Manchester Orchestra, now Metric. Two bands I absolutely love. Metric’s new album Fantasies will be released on March 2nd and sounds like it will be an [...]

How’s this for exciting new music news. I knew Manchester Orchestra had their new album pretty much done, but news came today of the tracklist and release date for their new album, Mean Everything to Nothing, and with the news came an mp3 for their first single, “I’ve Got Friends”. It starts off fun and [...]

So they released the lineup for this year’s Bonnaroo festival. If tickets weren’t $225, I’d love to get out there and see all these great bands. Maybe a Bonnaroo executive can help a certain blogger out with a ticket. *Wink Wink* At least they give you a payment plan option. But either way, I know [...]

Justin, from Bishop Allen, emailed me the other day letting me know his band had posted two new songs recently. And since I've always been a big fan of both their music, and the way they approach promoting their music in a grassroots, DIY sort of way, I was more than happy to spread the [...]

40. The Knux - Remind Me in 3 Days The Knux came on the scene this year as a welcome fill-in during Outkast's absence. The first couple listens kept my attention, but it wasn't until after a few more listens that I heard the Knux unique style that separated them from Outkast. It's essentially nerd rap, [...]

This is not a picture of our current situation, as that would be incredibly cool. But, we are on the verge of being hit by all kinds of icy nastiness. I don’t have to work tomorrow, so that’s a good thing and will give me time to write more of my year end list. Hopefully [...]
