Of Montreal announce US tour, return to KY!
-
Artist:
Of Montreal already had a very select US tour this year, but they're hopping back on the horse (har har) to do another, fuller round of touring in April. First they'll be hitting up Australia and Asia, but with SXSW and tons of concerts between now and then, I think I'll be able to wait [...]

[MP3] Winter Gloves: “Factory”
-
Artist:
-
Album:
I actually checked out Winter Gloves in 2008 when they covered LCD Soundsystem, but didn't find myself enough in love to post on it. However, when I gave their album About a Girl a spin, I dug this first track. MP3: Winter Gloves - Factories There's a kind of texture to the keys line in "Factories" [...]

-
Artist:
Vandaveer is one of the many artists who've contributed to Before the Goldrush a charity compilation that benefits Teach for America.

[VIDEO] Okkervil River play “Pop Lie” for Letterman
-
Artist:
Thanks to Stereogum for pointing me towards this. Okkervil River's The Stand-Ins was one of my favorite records of last year and "Pop Lie" was the first track that grabbed me. Will goes absolutely wild in this video, giving us even more to love about Okkervil River.

[VIDEO] I Love You Man trailer with Paul Rudd
-
Artist:paul rudd
I've been a Paul Rudd fan for a while, but seeing him steal the show in Knocked Up solidified my devotion to him. Against all odds, I enjoyed the hell out of Role Models too. Plus, the movie's got Jason Segel and Andy Samberg, so those are just more hooks into my attention. However, I'm [...]

[MP3] Clem Snide: “Me No” // new album out in February
-
Artist:
Me and Clem Snide go way back. The first time I ever set foot in the Dame was in 2005 to see a Clem Snide concert with Marbles opening. Robert Schneider (of the Apples in Stereo, aka "Marbles") snuck my underage self into the bar by putting me on the guest list as "Matt Schneider." [...]

[MP3] Madeline: “Good Houses” // Lexington show Jan 10th

I sure did take a while to post on Madeline, but I'd at least like to think that my timing was appropriate. Madeline will be playing at Al's Bar on January 10th. She also posted a message on her Myspace page that anyone who wants to make up fliers or convince a lot of friends [...]

[VIDEO] Of Montreal cover “Let’s Spend the Night Together”
-
Artist:
Not the greatest quality video, but it'll have to do until a real recording surfaces. Of Montreal did a largely covers set New Years Eve in Athens, including this take on Bowie's take on the Rolling Stone's "Let's Spend the Night Together." The band played a great deal of covers, so expect to catch those [...]

Django James & The Midnight Squires: “Hurricane”
-
Artist:django james
I just watched Sukiyaki Western Django, so this is a suitable band to post. The movie was great and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino (though, ironically, he's horrible in his bit part in this film). Django James… well I still haven't completely made my mind up about [...]

[VIDEO] Mixel Pixel’s “The Faker” video new 7″
-
Artist:
Mixel Pixel released "The Faker" 7″ last month (b-side: "The Things I Like") which you can purchase right here. They also recorded a crazy video for the title track. It looks like the devil rape scene in Rosemary's Baby if Rosemary had been on mescaline… But the song's great, though. And if I'm not mistaken, [...]

If it's Christmas at You Ain't No Picasso, that means it's Mixmas! These twelve days give me a chance to turn You Ain't No Picasso over to the musicians I cover and allow them to showcase some of their favorite songs through a themed mix. And if there's one thing that's always true, it's that [...]
