You know that I love your band when I think, for even ONE SECOND, about linking out to your YouTube because you’re label (who try and monetize everything) have “disabled embedding by request” on your new clip and then act surprised that no one links. Stereogum did, thank God. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have [...]

Dead Scene Radio [MySpace] is what you get when you smash Elvis Costello-like vocals with Bob Dylan-ish lyrics and a smidgen of electric guitar – the pace is upbeat and jovial. The lead singer sometimes sounds like he has a stuffed-up nose, but it works itself into the music as a stylistic mechanism. We should [...]

I keed, I keed. I really can’t grow a beard, so it’s out of the question.Megafaun [MySpace], that Durham-based trio birthed from the ashes of the amazing Deyarmond Edison, extended their tour in support of the critically-acclaimed second album, Gather, Form & Fly after their recently successful six week tour with fellow North Carolina-based [...]

Just got this in my email, so I wanted to share. It’s a performance video of Andrew Bird [MySpace] for GrandCrew.com and while I can’t tell you much about the clip or where it was shot (too much French) but it’s a gorgeous performance. Here’s what Yahoo! Babel Fish thought was being said: [...]

Dear Norway: I heart you and your music. There, I’ve said it – again. While sitting here contemplating a potential uproot/life-changing move, I got an email regarding my second favorite country in the world and thought, maybe it’s time I share this little tip I got about Eva & The Heartmaker [MySpace].

After a busy weekend at After the Jump Fest, we’re back to the real world. In this version of the real world, Chairlift (who were recently ranked the #1 band in NYC by The Deli Magazine) have a new video out for their song, “Ceiling Wax”, and we missed it because we were out [...]

Okay, close your eyes. The most important thing a reviewer can do is to give an album context and this handy little time machine here (which you conveniently cannot see because your eyes are close but believe me, it does exist) is going to give us context. Okay, ready? [you hear a whirring [...]

Photo: Sound Proof MagazineShawn and I were sitting at a table in Brooklyn’s Littlefield (site of this weekend’s After The Jump Fest!) the other day when the topic of album of the year came up. I told him it was hands down the Rural Alberta Advantage. He said no. He said he [...]

No one cares that Creed is back together, save the toothless, mouth-breathing fans that made them Clear Channel’s golden ticket back in the late 90’s. We’re all in agreement here, I think: They are an abomination. Watch Creed be some sort of interstellar test, sent here by a superior life form, to [...]

Brooklyn’s The Antlers [MySpace] were on our radar shortly before their debut LP dropped and now that they’ve gotten “big enough to brag about”, we’re equal parts proud for them and just plain glad to really see and hear such strong reactions from our friends around the blogosphere. The band is currently touring [...]

Show me a little love. My husband bought the new Third Eye Blind album. In fact, he had pre-ordered it. He says 3EB is to him as Better Than Ezra is to me. I have no problem with that. I synced up the ol' ipods two mornings ago. We hit the train platform - i started grinning. And no, it wasn't your "Yeah I'm totally into this!" grin. I stifled laughs on the train, while he gave me quizzical "W...

Though our friends at PopMatters had the exclusive on the premiere for the video, “Domino”, but we had to spread the word about the Spiral Beach crew as we are quickly becoming fans ourselves. Their new album, The Only Really Thing, drops September 22 on Sparks Music/Tommy Boy and this young Canadian band is [...]

“(If You Are Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” sounds much better cleaned up here and not as crappy as it was in those versions from South Korea. Weezer, you’re getting better, thank you. Weezer’s seventh album, Raditude (ed – *groan*) is out 10/27. If you haven’t heard it [...]

I love David Gray [Official]. You can blame it on his indie hit, “Babylon,” or you can blame it on my first fall in NYC where the wife got me front row seats to see him at Radio City. Maybe it’s that the previously mentioned song’s video playing in an infinite loop at [...]
