Perch Review - Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s - Not Animal/Animal!
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Not too long ago, I mentioned to Justin that I had been listening to the new Margot and the Nuclear So and So's double album, since he had booked them at Randy Bacon's twice to that point and we both were big fans. Instead of getting the usual "how is it?" response, he immediately said [...]

Track:
In my boredom tonight, I randomly came across a new Andrew Bird song from his upcoming album Noble Beast, which is going to be released January 2009 on Fat Possum. It's called "Oh No" and it's pretty good. And since I know the majority of you are Andrew Bird fans, I just had to share [...]

I dare you not to laugh
My roommate and I were on the floor practically crying last night after watching this. Sure, I felt bad, but the girl posted the video herself, so I imagine she was laughing at herself too. I’d skip to the 2 minute mark and watch from there.Scarlett takes a tumbleAnd this guy’s reaction while watching the [...]

It took two tries and was a long time coming, but my interview with Detektivbyran, my current favorite instrumental band, is finally here. I sent the questions, both your questions and mine, to the band right as they embarked on their tour for Wermland, and Anders was kind enough to sit down and answer the [...]

Last Night’s Family Guy - The Bird is the Word!
-
Artist:
-
Track:Surfin Bird
Last night's Family Guy was hilarious. It was mainly Peter becoming obsessed with the old 60's song "Surfin Bird" by the Trashmen, which is annoying as can be, and then he meets Jesus and tries to help him reveal himself to the world. I'd never heard that song before, but even though Peter sings it [...]

Dexter - S.3.Ep.1 - “Our Father”I’d say Dexter is pretty easily one of my favorite shows on tv. It may even get the top spot. If you’re a fan already, you’ve probably followed both seasons so far and know exactly what I’m saying. If you haven’t had the chance to see it, or thought it [...]

Album:Grand Archives
Grand Archive’s self-titled Sub Pop offering was released February of this year. I literally had it sitting in my 2008 folder that long without even coming close to listening to it. You’d be surprised just how many albums from this year I have sitting unlistened like this one. I always say I’ll get to them, [...]

Music Video, Annuals - Confessor

Album:Confessor

Track:
“The treatment for the video was written by Annuals’ own Zach Oden and then brought to life by Terry Gilliam’s special effects designer, Daniel Auber. It is not only gorgeous and fantastical, but it also features drawing-versions of the actual band. You know, if they were traveling woods-guides and prison torturers living in a storybook [...]

Weekly It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
If I can find it each week, then I’ll post the latest episodes from each week’s It’s Always Sunny. If you haven’t seen it, the show is mainly improv style feeling like Seinfeld on crack. Usually no plot and always good for a lot of laughs. Here’s the first two episodes of the new season.S.4, [...]

Has anyone been watching the Ryder Cup? I'm a golfer myself, so I can watch it on tv fine without feeling the need to call it the most boring sport in the world. But, today's matches were as intense as golf gets in my opinion. There were more "USA!" chants during todays matches than there [...]

Artist:
Ah, I love it. I got a simple, unassuming email today with the header, “An Open Letter to Pitchfork from Airborne Toxic Event”. I smiled immediately knowing exactly what the email would contain; another ridiculously harsh review and a very well thought out, subtlely sarcastic response back from the band. SOUND Team went the more [...]
