I saw this video a while back and just about instantly liked the song, even though it's very disco-ey. Brooklyn's Holy Ghost! have as they have said, something that is retro, yet relevant. The hook is extremely catchy and will serve you well as a part of your party time, night time city driving soundtrack.Fun fact: the burly, bearded guy in the video is the same guy (who did the same thing) i...

Now, I posted an piece about this on "Today In Music News" over at DC9, and truth be told... this song is actually pretty good. And informational, it's entertaining... it's infotaining. I've always been fascinated by space and other planets, so, this came a quite a pleasant surprise to me. The songs is great and comes off quite nicely.But, it's also interesting how much Carl Sagan sounds li...

But, what can I do?So, if you would like a pair of tickets to the show, email bonafidedarling (at) gmail.com with "I Too Love Neko Case" in the subject line and one pair will be yours.I would like to extend a very special thanks to the Granada ...

The video for Great Lake Swimmers new single "Palmistry" is pretty fitting for the feel of the song. Late afternoon, on the water on a big-ass boat, laid back. The only difference is... it's like a clipper ship and not a bass boat.

Next Tuesday Colorado's own Pretty Lights will hit the stage at Granada Theater with sound/light/video spectacular. If you're a fan of DJ Shadow and have witnessed the spectacular feat that is his live show, then you will love this one as well.It's no secret that we here at BFD are BIG fans of Pretty Lights, so, the Granada has given us 3 pairs of tickets to give away.All you need to do is ema...

If you're a fan of the Pearl Jam, you know there are certain things to expect at their shows. 1) They are probably not going to play "Leash"... even if you call them pussies.2)They probably aren't going to play "Bugs" and they probably they aren't going to play "Sweet Lew" either, because they've never played either of them live.3) If it's Halloween, they will more than likely dress up, you kn...

Today we're starting a new feature here on BFD that will be recurring somewhat regularly. As much passion as I have for music, I have the same amount of passion for graphic design of all kinds... advertising art, web design, stencil design and especially rock n' roll poster design. Our hope is to have Q&A's with some of our favorite designers around North Texas and the nation.In the beginning...

...To know me is hardly wonder.That line from Band of Horses "The Funeral" has always stuck in my head, beside the beautiful "ooohs" at the beginning of the song I always found that line to be particularly poignant and heart felt. Serena Ryder & The Beauties have done a pretty faithful, although minimalist, cover of that song. She doesn't necessarily add to the beautiful sadness of the song. ...

The Laughing will take part in this year's Fun Fun Fun fest down in ol' Austin... the hometown of Gov. Good Hair.They sound like a combination NYC bands Stellastarr* and Radio 4. They've got the punk aesthetic with the exaggerated vocals that are just right for partying. But, being that the band is from Austin, that kinda figures right in.MP3: The Laughing - Runner

Great song... great video.

Chicago's Hey Champ have given the remix treatment to The Cool Kids "(We Are) Champions" that appeared on their very underwhelming Gone Fishing mixtape.It sounds better than the original, which leads me to believe that maybe Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks need to work with some different producers. Hey Champ hits all the right buttons with this one.MP3: (We Are) Champions - The Cool Kids vs. H...

It's not really hard to fuck up a song if it has Karen O's voice on it. You could probably have a garbage can as a drum and barking dogs for the backing vocals and as long as the lovely weirdness of Karen O is singing, it will probably be good. A-Trak remixed Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Heads Will Roll" and turned it into a dance friendly, little electronic number. MP3: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll...

I finally watched some of my episodes of Subterranean the other night ago and noticed the first song video was from Temper Trap. Our good friends over at SubEx posted the remix of their song "Sweet Disposition," but, I absolutely fell in love with the original version.Something very sweet and Brit poppy about it. Reminds me of young love... but, I digress.Take a wissen.MP3: Temper Trap - Swe...

Despite being an overall jerk and supreme narcissist most of the time, I have a lot of respect for the art he makes. He has gone against the grain in hip-hop and done things the way he wants to do them.We Were Once A Fairytale is actually a good little short movie. Sure, 'Ye plays drunk very badly, but, it's actually pretty good.

So, it was technically like three days ago, but, it's all good. You can check out pics from the show here. And you can check out the "Last Night Review" of it here on DC9.Ft. Worth's Best Fwends were, for me, the unlikely hit of the night. You have to give it to two nerds who perform back by music loaded on their iPod. Their stage presence was stellar and they knew how to work a crowd. And...

When I received an email announcing The Naptime Shake's Blood And Panic I wasn't sure what to do. I know their singer Noah Bailey through writing with the Observer and I was kinda afraid of what would happen if I didn't like it. But, my fear was eased from the first track of the album.Once I got Blood and Panic started, the first track "Nourishment" reminded me of two things: Dr. Pepper and ...

The Headlights may have churned out a less chipper version of their indie-pop than before, but, at least their videos are still entertaining. And Erin still looks like the indie darling she always is.But, if you've ever been part of an office meeting you can see why they aren't as excited as you would expect... but, looking bored to tears while sitting on a couch doesn't scream excitement either.
