On Matador’s presser for Yo La tengo’s upcoming album, Popular Songs, it states “We have an old saying at Matador HQ, ‘the only thing predictable about Yo La Tengo albums is their high level of excellence and crazy amount of musical ground covered’”, and based on this track alone, i would have to agree.

I wonder if Johan Agebjörn is always gonna have to put Sally Shapiro in parenthesis after his name. He really shouldn’t as he’s a great “producer” in his own right, but i guess Agebjörn isn’t the easiest name to remember (ok, maybe i just keep using his name to show off my umlaut typing [...]

Took a trip to NYC this weekend to catch Grizzly Bear at town hall, and just enjoy the nice weather. Town Hall is a sit down venue so that definitely gave the whole thing a more formal vibe, but it is a venue that works well with Grizzly Bear’s well orchestrated music. I caught [...]

And in case you were wondering what the musical tastes of the Vegas Strip are right now (i know you can’t wait)…just play this on repeat for 4-days. That’s pretty much all i heard this week:Oh, and this…which was actually pretty funny (although i’m not sure most people there knew this song was a joke):Related:No [...]

Well, i’m back from Vegas…maybe some brain cells short, but hopefully the 21 hours of sleep i got in the past 24 hours has helped in that department.

One of our most anticipated albums of the year from one of our favorite bands has some new songs up on myspace now. The first is a short little teaser (”Z”), the other is a little longer with sweeping production (”Marked Up”), both great, both with that signature wrens muffled vocal style. Listen to them on [...]

We wrote about this track back in Feb. of ‘08, when Minneapolis based band Solid Gold came out with their debut EP Who Yah Gonna Run To? Now it seems they’re gearing up for the summer release of their debut LP Bodies of Water and have (smartly) decided to carry over this great track onto [...]

Max Tundra put on a quirky yet entertaining opening set which reminded me of a casio-loving lounge singer. Remember when you were 10 and had your first casio and spent hours messing around with the simple back-beats and preloaded effects? I don’t think Max ever got sick of it. Not sure I would go simply [...]
