I posted on James Rabbit not to long ago, but I finally got their full-length record Coloratura in my grubby mitts. The album kind of jumps all over the place, but there are some real gems on there. MP3: James Rabbit - She Speaks, Rings and Chimes MP3: James Rabbit - Girl Crazy! "She Speaks, Rings and [...]~~

I'm a bit late for lunch/work, so I'll make it fast: The Jam are really just great. I got into them because I was afraid the musical Anglophile at the record store would find out that I'd never listened to them. So I grabbed a used copy of Sound Affects (highly recommended) and never looked [...]~~

Everybody's favorite pick-me-up, the Polyphonic Spree, are going to be contributing a song to a Nightmare Before Christmas covers compilation. Artists from RJD2, Korn and Sparklehorse are covering songs from the Tim Burton film for Nightmare Revisited. So yes, that means that Korn will finally have a song out on Walt Disney Records. Tracklist and [...]~~

It's time again for another installment of My First Time, the (allegedly) weekly series where I ask some of my favorite bands to share stories about their musical "firsts." This week we've got a real treat: longtime YANP-friend Keith Murray of We Are Scientists has provided us with probably the best MFT we've had yet. [...]~~

What a great tour announcement. It looks like Ted Leo/Rx and Against Me! will be pooling their punk-inspired efforts and hitting the road together this fall. Not only that, but they'll be making a stop in Cincinnati! MP3: Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone Ted Leo and the Pharmacists [...]~~

Man oh man, Both Sides of the Mouth really pulled out another winner again. Slow Club's "Me and You" is a a fantastic song that has truly made me a better person for hearing. Seriously, I'm like 60% less violent and 22% happier now. MP3: Slow Club - Me And You There's just so much about [...]~~

--- - |- After Bonnaroo I realized that literally everyone on the entire earth is already a fan of MGMT. So apparently I can stop promoting them so much now. In fact, it makes this post where I begged people to listen to them so they wouldn't get dropped by Columbia seem hilarious. Anyway, I have a cool [...] ~~- MGMT

Wilco @ Lollapalooza 2008 MP3: Wilco - Misunderstood MP3: Wilco - I'm Trying to Break Your Heart MP3: Wilco - You Are My Face MP3: Wilco - Impossible Germany MP3: Wilco - It's Just That Simple MP3: Wilco - Handshake Drugs MP3: Wilco - Pot Kettle Black MP3: Wilco [...] ~~- Wilco

--- - |- I went to Perry Farrell's "Kidzapalooza" set on a lark. I'd heard a rumor that Slash would be the special guest joining him on stage (backed up by the announcer's assertion on Friday that the guest would be someone known to those who play Guitar Hero). Lucky me — it was Slash. Something you should know [...] ~~- Perry Farrell

--- - |- If you were to make a list of the most fan-friendly bands, Wilco would have to be very near the top. While they're not quite making house calls to their fanclub, they do routinely treat those who love them the most. Earlier this year, Wilco did a five-night stint in Chicago where they played their [...] ~~- Wilco

--- - |- Wilco at Bonnaroo 2007 Wilco played an incendiary set last night at Lollapalooza — but more on that later. Here's a new song of theirs, which Jeff confessed is a WIP ("work in progress"). It's a little slow at the start, but its last half is one of the best examples of why Rolling Stone called [...] ~~- Wilco

I have no idea why it took me so long to get around to posting on this. I friggin love the Morning Benders and I really love covers. Sounds like a no brainer, huh? MP3: The Morning Benders - He's a Rebel (the Crystals; from Bedroom Covers) The Morning Benders assembled their computer mic and did [...]~~

I was doing some random Youtubing and found this professional video of Bishop Allen at Spain's Primavera festival. They picked a good one to record/post to the web, "Click Click Click" is definitely one of Bishop Allen's best tunes. While we're on the topic, what's new with Bishop Allen? Well the group have spent the [...]~~

Poor Bill Doss. Every time I see him I have to fight the urge — usually unsucessfully — to ask if the Olivia Tremor Control are ever getting back together. But it looks like everything OTC-fan related isn't so annoying for Bill; here's an MP3 of him joining the OTC-loving band Poison Control Center for [...]~~

Hope you all like Spoon, because I've got a lot of goodies coming up. First on the docket is this live cover of the Rolling Stones' classic "Rocks Off." MP3: Spoon - Rocks Off (Rolling Stones) Oh those lovely horns! Like I said in my review of their Pitchfork show, the brass section really helps Britt [...]~~

Here's the hair-raising new video for We Are Scientists' "Impatience." After you're done wolfing it down, don't forget to make plans to catch them tonight (Monday) on Letterman or August 10 at the Southgate House in Newport, KY!~~

Spoon aren't the best indie rock band out there, but they might be the most consistent. Their last couple albums have all been classic stuff that classic bands are made of. And after having seen them four or five times now, I can say that the same goes for their live shows. Each one is [...]~~

--- - |- A few months ago Justin from Fishboy sent me a video he recorded of a new Karl Blau song that he played in Texas. I liked it, but apparently forgot to post on it. Well GvB gave me a good reminder yesterday by posting the studio version that'll be on his new record Nature's Got [...] ~~- Karl Blau
