Totally Michael - Totally Michael Review
Totally Michael [Official Site, Myspace] is a dangerous name to give oneself as a music releasing entity. It begs, just BEGS, for reviewers (such as myself) to go Spinal Tap in their reviews. If Shark Sandwich is a “Shit Sandwich” then is Totally Michael “Totally Shit”? But part of this reviewer gig is actually listening to the music. And (somewhat sadly for the sake of this review) it doe

Evangelicals (Middle East Upstairs, Boston, 10/1/08)
I have a question for all of you indie kids: what is with the bandanna? I get the whole skinny jeans, converse kicks, and [insert vintage thrift store tee shirt here], but the bandana is completely mystifying to me. Scarf? Sure. Headband? Fine. But a bandana around the neck? Is there a secret underground Kanye West following in the indie world? Members only? Do ultra-chic indie kids get ???tap...

Goon Island = Place to Be?
And here I was thinking that it was Green Acres. With the launch of their debut, Welcome to Goon Island, out on Mute Records this past Tuesday, XX Teens [Myspace] have dropped something that, I have to say, is pretty boss. If you’re into post punk (and you sure as hell know that we are!), this is the type album that will kick you firmly in your ass and get you up and on your feet* KEXP???s J.

Outloud - The 13th Step
“If Roky Erickson had vanished from the face of the earth after The 13th Floor Elevators released their epochal debut single, “You’re Gonna Miss Me,” in early 1966, in all likelihood he’d still be regarded as a legend among garage rock fanatics for his primal vocal wailing and feral harmonica work” - music critic Mark DermigHowdy Kids!

The Inevitable Greatness of The Knux and Punk Rap OR Why Bang Bang Turns Me On Musically
Confession time: I think I have a musical fetish. The sight and sound of a black guy playing guitar just does something for me; a quickened pulse, my head nodding, and beads of sweat on my brow. It???s basically a sonic aphrodisiac. I think I can explain this reaction. My true musical love is punk. There are other forms and style of music that excite me but most of the music that I truly a...
