The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have been one of the coolest things to come out of 2009. I had no expectations from their self titled record when it came out earlier this year, but it turned out to be a great pop rock record that may be up there in my favorite albums [...]

Check out Vampire Weekend’s official video for new single “Cousins” below. Like all of their video’s/music it is a ton of fun. The band gets iterative with us getting pulled back and forth on a pully playing along to the song.It is simple, but effective. Very funny too!!! I really enjoyed watching this video!

Passion Pit have revealed their new video for “Little Secrets” today. The song was a ton of fun to see live, and it has become one of my favorite tracks from Manners (tied with To Kingdom Come). Trust me, it is hard to pick just one favorite on a record like Manners!They disabled embedding (why? [...]

The very kind people at Sub-Pop/Bella Union have sent me an mp3 for Teen Dream’s first single “Norway”. They were also cool enough to send me an early stream of Teen Dream, and I have to say it is fantastic. “Norway” is a compelling song that really emphasizes everything that Beach House stands for. Absolute [...]

Ah, Cold War Kids. How I miss the days of your initial blog buzz. CWC’s were practically hailed the saviors of indie rock, with sold out gig, after sold out gig. Their debut album was very solid, giving us memorable songs like “Hang Me Up To Dry” and “Hospital Beds”. They came back with their [...]

photo via Adrian PehrsonWhy are Arctic Monkeys so god damn good? Can’t they just release their singles like a normal band with average b-sides, or just attach some mediocre live performance?Nope, not the Arctics. They have to go release songs that actually compete with their album tracks for quality. Like the new b-side “Fright Lined [...]

:Kinema: give an interesting electo/dance cover of the almost already indie classic “My Girls”. It is a very clean, crisp, cover of the song. Definitely an interesting take on the song.I don’t know too much about :Kinema: otherwise. Time to do some research! Visit them on myspace! [mp3] : :Kinema: – My Girls (Animal Collective [...]

I am procrastinating on [...]
