Spain’s Delorean is releasing their first EP of incredibly infectious, soothing dance music. I have listened to the track “Deli” about 5 times this morning and imagine there will be many more. Here are a couple songs, purchase the EP here (it’s under $5).Delorean “Deli”Delorean “Big Dipper”Related:No Related Post
One of our favorite local bands Wye Oak are set to release their sophomore album The Knot tomorrow and it’s a must listen. It’s rare that a band can not only match their debut album, but go above and beyond it…which Andy and Jenn find themselves doing on this one. Very good album, and if [...]
That was maybe the most redundant post title to date, but DFA’s latest signing Free Energy is pretty much the most non-DFA sounding band to date (think OK GO…before the treadmill video fame). They define themselves as “hooky classic rock”, which sounds about right…but odd that DFA is putting it out. Guess they’re always good [...]
Really excited for the Monsters of Folk super-collaboration to release their album on september 22nd (despite the horrible band name). They are offering up a mp3 of their first song “say please” over at their website on the right hand site. Pretty good song, where the chorus is seamlessly switched between conor, james, and ward.get [...]
I have to admit I don’t know much about Cass McCombs. My first intro to him was really seeing this video on pitchfork…but i found it to be pretty awesome, which is why i am posting it here for you to hopefully watch. Simple video idea, but i think it works pretty well, and the [...]
For this album review i turned to our in-house Sonic Youth ‘expert’ Casey Fighorn:Sonic Youth’s fifteenth studio album — The Eternal — is their most rock-oriented in years. It avoids many of the noodly, free jazzy-pitfalls that seem to plague the majority of their post-1995 catalog. This isn’t to say that all of those records [...]

Here’s the new video for “Love in July”, the latest single off of Sally Shapiro’s upcoming album My Guilty Pleasure. I think Pixar might have a copyright infringement case on their hands here…only in this case the special effects are really cheesy…but cheesy in a way that only the swedes can make it work. You [...]
(note: if you’re reading this via RSS, there are embedded photos in this post)I hadn’t really been thinking about this show for the past couple of weeks leading up to it, so I think it finally hit me when I got to the Ottobar, that this is a pretty small venue to see Oberst perform. [...]
I usually don’t post commercials on here, but i saw this last night and it’s just too sweet not to. I have been absolutely enamored with the tour de france for the first time ever (mainly because VS is covering it QUITE excellently and replaying the days stage every night at 8PM), and this commercial [...]
Today only you can stream The Dead Weather’s new album Horehound, which, unsurprisingly, is pretty kick-ass gritty rock n’ roll. Jack white is on drums, a vocalist from The Kills (Alison Mosshart), a guitarist from Queens of the Stone Age (Dean Fertita), and the bassist from The Raconteurs (Jack Lawrence).You can buy it on July [...]
I caught this over the weekend and thought it was just a great commercial, and a good pick for a song.Related:New Cursive Video “From The Hips”Get Ready To Rock!Literal Tears for Fears VideoMy Hands Are Bananas!
I heard this song on WRNR this morning on my drive into work, and absolutely loved it. It’s off of Richard Thompson’s 1991 album Rumor and Sigh, and i thought it’s fun, ‘let’s do this’ tone was pretty appropriate for the sunny 4th of july weekend we are about to embark on. I am not [...]
I’ve been slacking on my Music Video watching so excuse me if this is a little old, but what simple, cool video… plus it doesn’t hurt that I have heard the song 5,000 times now and still am not sick of it.Related:Phoenix Plays Air’s “Playground Love”
Spoon have a new EP coming out, which you can now pre-order over at merge records. This new single “Got Nuffin’” is sounding pretty good. They have added a little more crunch to their sound on this one and it works out well.Spoon “Got Nuffin”Related:Spoon Interview @ The FuturistStream Spoon’s New AlbumSpoon: The New Thin [...]
It’s one thing to just write a rap about not liking auto-tune.. it’s another level when you can make the song actually good. The rock/jazz music is great, and Jay-z fills in the rest.Related:No Related Post
I was a little surprised recently when I went to put on Pete Yorn’s latest Back & Forth… it’s not that I haven’t listened to Pete Yorn in the past, but I just never realized how good his music was until now. The big fans are saying this is a good album, but not his [...]
This isn’t meant to be a political post at all, I was just looking through some rss feeds tonight and saw this, and with the most recent issues with the web, twitter and iran I thought this was one of the most poignant photographs I have seen in a long time.Related:No Related Post
Bruno was on COnan last night and it was hilarious. I love that he has a new movie coming out and we can see him in all these interviews. Related:Lily Allen latest victim of stupid reporters
