Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan on the heads up for this awesome show I probably won't be able to attend. The Flaming Lips are playing and curating All Tomorrow's Parties NY 2009 and have announced the first round of bands playing. They've snagged Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Atlas Sound, Suicide, David Cross and some others. The [...]

"Kings and Aces" is a great, well-produced These Unites States tune off their album A Picture Of The Three Of Us At The Gate To The Garden Of Eden. The original is a strong song that's got a lot of experimental production that pays off in spades (get it?) — so it's really fun to [...]

Elizabethtown, Kentucky — population of roughly twenty-two thousand — spawned a movie of the same name after a young Cameron Crowe experienced a significant event in its limits. Years later it helped form me into the curious person that I am today. At roughly the same time, Elizabethtown was also home to Daniel Martin Moore, [...]

I'm going to be working all day on projects and final papers to make sure I graduate next week. So if you can send any positive thoughts, prayers or magical powers to Lexington, KY it would be greatly appreciated. As my thanks, here's Belle and Sebastian's Peel Christmas Party. I used to get probably one [...]

Itunes just released the Watchmen Comic Con trailer for free download. You can snag it at this link for download, but you'll probably want to watch it immediately so I suggest just hitting "play" above. This is truly the nerd's trailer, as those familiar with the story are likely to squeal with delight and those [...]

I was just sent this awesome video of Jukebox the Ghost covering "What's This?" from Nightmare Before Christmas. I expected some lousy quality video shot by shaky hand-cam, but I got a well-edited multi-camera video that's only surpassed in quality by the cover itself. Jukebox the Ghost completely succeed at this cover; which is a [...]

While John Lennon was doing his bed-in for peace, a 14-year-old Toronto kid snuck into his room and interviewed him briefly. Now that audio has been edited into a visual delight as well as a philosophical playground. My two favorite quotes: "It's no good shouting on the street corner "I want peace!" and then beating [...]

Songs from Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion are slowly hitting the net and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive from what I've gathered. At least, it's positive so far from YANP. "My Girls" starts off well enough, but really takes flight about 1/3 of the way into the track. This is one of those songs that [...]

Buy them from Satan. Stream [...]

Q Magazine has thought up one of the better curiosity features I've seen in a while. The Q Challenge is exactly what it sounds like, and this time it's Of Montreal being asked to sketch a nude model. I really can't do a better job of justifying it than Q's web site: Prolific art-rock act Of [...]

"Merry HDR Christmas" by Trey Ratcliff Hey guys! It's almost Christmas again! Around here that means I'm gearing up for Mixmas by asking bands to contribute mixes for your holiday enjoyment; but I thought I'd take a little while and whip up a special mix of my own. My goal with this season's mix was to [...]

Yeah, part of the story here is that the the Lonely Islands' "Jizz In My Pants" was about the only funny part of last night's SNL (though it's not been bad lately). However, the big part is that the Lonely Island will apparently be releasing their debut album next February. Who'd have thought that years [...]

I finally got around to listening to the Bronx's new self titled record (which looks like it's the next in the Panda Bear > El Guincho album cover progression) and like what I found. Some of my coworkers are dyed-in-the-wool Bronx fans — this one might push me further into their camp. MP3: The Bronx - [...]

This is Little Birds doing a new tune, "Song for You," which I'm told is a song the lead singer wrote for her boyfriend who is also one of her bandmembers. The lyrics are a bit hard to make out, but the song's some solid pop. If they ever whip up a studio version I'd [...]

The Features are streaming their classic Christmas tune "Christmas Wish Book" over at their Myspace. This will probably feature heavily if I ever get my Christmas mix finished, but here's the stream to tide you over until then. Listen to "Christmas Wish Book" on the Features' Myspace

For weeks now someone's been telling me that I need to check out this side project of Sindri from Seabear but I could never remember the name. Well after a bit of gmail checking, I found out that the band is Sin Fang Bous and — based on this one song — it's awesome. It [...]
