The Big Pink's A Brief History of Love is a deftly produced retrospective on the flawed and fragile state of romantic affairs; in the struggle for power, sexuality autonomy throws companionship to the wayside. Unlike like this messy and often combative "use or be used" ethos, The Big Pink discovers a synergistic listening experience in which classic guitars, electric beats and industrial noise ...

Animal Collective creates music with specific seasons and moods in mind. "Summertime Clothes" off of 2009's Merriweather Post Pavilion is what comes to mind first (that song has a special place in my heart after surviving my first Brooklyn summer sans AC).

Last week the Baeble staff went to check out a sneak peak of Sisterworld at a listening party with free beer, so naturally we don't remember anything but having a strong urge to get into fights, and drinking a lot of beer. It seemed like everyone was having a good time, ignoring the DJ set, and no one seemed to notice this first track start up until it ripped a hole in the conversation with the us

These guys have been playing together for over three years, but 2009 proved to be their big break through, and it's not surprising. First, they got major attention at SXSW, and then proceeded to clean up at CMJ, not just for their beautiful harmony drenched music, but also for their tight, crystal clear performances.

He wasn't the only one falling through the wormhole over the course of his performance of three songs both new (from When The Devil's Loose) and old (American Hearts).Leading with the appropriately titled "Slow Parade", Bondy performs here

Don't Stop is right along the lines of traditional, radio ready, dance-heavy pop; reverberated, sequenced, and aesthetically pleasing in every way. What Annie lacks in mold-breaking, she makes up for with extremely efficient songwriting. It is the kind of album that is familiar in so many ways, and yet, still is exciting on the first listen. Nearly every cut is polished and ready for everything...

Simplicity and accessibility are often cited as the foundations of pop. But at this stage of the game, using the 2009 archaic musical classification system, "pop" doesn't really mean anything except "could be featured prominently in an iPod commercial." Reaching for real boundaries means taking pop and defining it as songwriting with synthetic instruments, or that sounds synthetic, and/or a dan...

Essentials for music snobbery include a love of really weird things, a strong dislike for any mainstream alternative rock band, and of course knowledge that Amy Winehouse basically stole the Dap Kings from their true mistress, a soulful sass-machine known as Sharon Jones. In anticipation of a Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings album next year, Ms. Jones is releasing a free MP3 of a Holiday tune she...
