I was going to post something a bit later, but after noticing my last piece of pie has been stricken with the precursor to penicillin, I figured that now was indeed the time to write about a lovely singer named Leerone. She's from California and mixes her slightly unpredictable piano ballads with her lovely voice. [...]

Once again, I am redefining the very, erm, definition of lazy. It's not that there's a lack of excellent music, either. Perhaps now that I've joined MOG, a music blog network, I will be more regularly shamed into writing something. Amber Lee & The Anomalies has what she terms "neo-folkloric accordion charm," and I am [...]

I haven’t posted anything in quite some time, but after receiving an inquiry about whether I still blogged at all, it seemed I was taking it too far. It doesn’t help that I deleted all my music bookmarks without intending to, but there’s still a few things I’d be happy to write about. The first [...]

I heard Hafdis Huld for the first time on Aurgasm quite some time ago, which means it’s high time that I wrote about her on here. She’s Icelandic, which made me assume that her music would at least be inside the realm of “weird,” and indeed, it is. It’s not as odd as Bjork, though, [...]

Orion Rigel Dommisse is my favorite musician on Greg Weeks’ label Language Of Stone. She isn’t as psychedelic as most of the artists on that label, though her music has too wide a variety of instrumentation to be considered traditional folk. It’s not so much instrumentation that it overwhelms you, but more than enough to [...]

I thought I had already made a post about this band, to which I was quite ready to link within this very post. Turns out, my slackerness is even greater than I thought, as that post was basically in my ‘todo’ queue, and did not technically even exist. Nevertheless, this CD came out [...]

The first thing I ever heard about New Zealand’s Liam Finn was that he was trying to be the happy version of Elliott Smith. Whenever someone is compared to Mr. Smith, I feel an obligation to check out their music, though it’s always matched by my expectation that it won’t be up to par. However, [...]

The band I have for you tonight is one that e-mailed me way back in February, Admiral Twin. Four months later is as good a time as any to write something about them, I think. They’re a great power-pop band out of Oklahoma, which surprises me as much as it does you. They have a [...]

The Robot Ate Me is a band I’ve been intending to write about for at least a year or so, so I suppose it’s high time that their number came up. They’ve never been a band that really resonated with me, which is to say that although I like a few of their songs, they’ll [...]

For those of you not in the know, Emma Pollock was one of the singers for the now-defunct band, The Delgados. While they released quite a few good albums in their time, I think Emma’s solo album, Watch The Fireworks, completely and utterly puts them to shame. This is partly due to my strong preference [...]

Ex Reverie is a psych-folk band that you might remember from when I talked about their EP, Phronesis, a while back. They released their full-length debut earlier this year, The Door Into Summer. The song that their label offers up, Dawn Comes For Us All, is easily my favorite song of the year. It’s hard [...]

If all the differences in music I’ve been posting lately strikes you as a bit erratic, that’s because it is. I’m having a bot pick bands out of the list of bands I want to write about. Kind of prevents me from going “well I need to write about THIS band” before writing about another [...]

This just in, I have way too many bands I want to write about. After this post, there’ll still be ten bands bookmarked, and that is just outrageous. I’ll try to whip through at least a couple over the next few days. First up is Thee More Shallows, a band hailing from one of my [...]

I wrote about The Interiors nearly two years ago, but things have changed since then, as well they should. Back in those days, they only had a three-song demo, but what a demo it was! Songs like The Bug and I’m So Happy blew my mind in the greatest of ways. As for the present, [...]

When I don’t write on here in a while, it usually means I’ve lost my normally impassioned love of music for the time being. Or I’m just lazy. This time, it is a combination of both. Either way, here is a post that may help to quench your thirst for musical knowledge. For our more [...]
