Do Bears go to Heaven?
-
Artist:Bears in Heaven
-
Track:Wholehearted Mess
Bear in Heaven recently received a sterling review on Pitchfork and it was pretty spot on. Layer upon layer of drone-y guitars, reminiscent of personal favorites A Place to Bury Strangers (minus the darkness), contribute to the expansiveness of Bear in Heaven. While tending to the abstract on some tracks, Wholehearted Mess is an absolute gem. Vocals float atop an ocean of sound that occasionall...

Its Giving Me Fits

Artist:
The weekend is here again and it couldn't have come sooner. Grad school applications begone already. I've always been a secret fan of Austin Texas, since I have never actually set foot in it. Most of this fascination stems from my love of White Denim. First introduced to me via Gorilla vs. Bear, White Denim's sharp garage sound will force its way into your bones. Having seen them live, White De...

A Cappella Musings
This week, I’m going to touch on a topic that’s pretty close to home. It’s a little embarrassing, and part of me thinks that I’d maintain more of whatever credibility I might have by withholding this info, but what the heck.Confession: Like Andy Bernard, I am a former collegiate a cappella singer.Say what you will about the “genre”; I probably agree with you. It’s a questionable form

Mix It Up With Ellie Goulding Under The Sheets

Track:Under the Sheets
We've never been shy about the fact that we have the hots for Ellie Goulding. She hasn't disappointed yet - everything that she's released thus far has been brilliant. "Under The Sheets," her latest, is no different.The different thing about "Under The Sheets," though, is that it seems to be getting the attention throughout the blogosphere, not just in the small corners that we frequent. "Under...

Darwin Deez Is Nutssss

Track:Radar Detector
One of my favorite things about being plugged into the blogosphere is being clued in to the relatively new phenomenon of an artist going from obscurity to hype in the blink of an eye. One mention in the right spot and suddenly a band is blowing up. One blog features a tune, which gets picked up by three other blogs. Those three turn into nine, which turns into twenty-seven, which is about the l...

At first I was planning on talking about Wale's debut LP Attention Deficit, which features a track produced by TSRE favorite David Sitek and is aptly titled TV in the Radio. The track also features TSRE fave K'Naan and some pretty catchy horns.Wale - TV in the Radio (YSI) (filesavr)Unfortunately I have been completely distracted by the brand spanking new mixtape from Chiddy Bang, which complete...

To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch

Artist:Carl Sagan

Track:Glorious Dawn
Just heard yesterday that Jack White’s new label is going to be releasing a 7" vinyl featuring a Carl Sagan-/Stephen Hawking-sampling tune. The record is inspired by the overwhelming success of a song uploaded (by a guy called Cosmos) to YouTube. To date, the video has more than 1.4 million views.If you ever need evidence that we live in a totally bonkers era, re-read everything in that first p.
