So what if Lil' Wayne sold a billion records in a single day? Two For Flinching can't be persuaded by something as fallible as SoundScan. Radio play and flamboyant endcaps be damned, we're all about wading through a whole lotta muck in hope of pulling up an occasional pearl or (for the sake of the name) two. Time to welcome the dog days of August with two selections of popular music that seem t...

--- - |- I really do love this band. New Wave was easily one of my favorite albums last year and still is. Can't wait to see Against Me! live again. They pay homage to The Replacement's Bastards Of Young in this new video directed by Justin Staggs. Against Me "New Wave" -------------------------------------------------------- ~~- Against Me!

--- - |- Long-time Reggae icon Lee "Scratch" Perry met Andrew W.K. at SXSW in 2006. The meeting sparked a friendship which has now led to Perry's latest album Repentance. Andrew W.K. is the album's co-producer and obviously has Perry ingesting a shitload of Viagra. Repentance features guest appearances by Moby, David Tibet, Bolt's Brian Chippendale, Gumball's Don Fleming, Matisyahu bassist ...

--- - |- Based on the reaction to Guideline I (does anything say I'm serious better than Roman numerals?), it seems we can all agree that puking at a concert, whether indoors or outdoors, is in poor form. At this point, a better writer would challenge readers with a particularly outlandish or controversial edict, just to stir the pot. Luckily, I'm a hack and there's plenty of low-hanging fr...

Could someone please give me a bunch of ridiculous nicknames like that?! Do they have to be earned? How do you go about that? Is it like gang initiation?Ah anyway, former pro snowboarder-turned-electro-rocker Trouble Andrew keeps the freebies coming. He...

New video for the third single from Australian electro-rockers The Presets and their album Apocalypso...plus a remix by steamier-than-miami-baking-old-man-balls Miami Horror. I know...so uncalled for right?The video was directed by Jonas & Francois who are the dudes behind Kanye West's The Good Life, Justice's D.A.N.C.E and the video for the Madonna/J.Timbo combo 4 Minutes...The Presets - Talk...

I Heart Lung will release Interoceans on September 23rd through Asthmatic Kitty. Chris Schlarb, whose Twilight & Ghost Stories free-jazz/rain concept album was one of MOKB's early-year suprise favorite discoveries, teams up with drummer Tom Steck to create tribal, improvised free jazz that snakes and evolves in and out of order and chaos. It's all got a very beginning-of-the-universe soundtra...

Kings Of Leon have made a new song from their upcoming album Only By The Night, out September 23rd, available for free download. Unfortunately you'll have to share your email address with them. Crawl is a seriously crunchy rocker with KOL's typical yowling vocals soaring above.Kings Of Leon - Crawl (follow link)~~

So, continuing my pleasant Forecastle Fest suprises that hailed from the 'Nati, The Seedy Seeds absolutely blew my gourd. Their sound has been somewhat hilariously labelled as "Appalachitronica" (via). Basically combine up-tempo folk/banjo-driven music with electronic elements...I KNOW!! RIGHT?! Sounds awesome to me. Listen, being from Kentucky, but really nowhere near the Appalchian Mounta...

We've really enjoyed this year's State Bird release - Mostly Ghostly. So much so that we invited the band in to our studio to record some tracks for MOKB/SIRIUS.This past June, the band recorded four new songs and released them on a new tour-only EP appropriately titled 4 New Songs. All the tracks were recorded live with some minor vocal and percussion over dubs. The band made 50 copies featur...

--- - |- This weekend's Forecastle Festival actually yielded a couple great new discoveries for me. We'll be giving you the play-by-play and some great video down the road, but for now, I wanted to touch on this first of two Cincinnati-based discoveries...Pomegranates have a really catchy, soothing pop/rock sound that is sure to attract a lot of fans going forward. Lujo Records recently re...

--- - |- Like many folks, my first exposure to Faun Fables occurred thanks to the haunting vocals Dawn McCarthy lent to Bonnie "Prince" Billy's The Letting Go. Since I'm inclined to be intrigued by anyone worthy of Ol' Will's collaboration, I naturally found my way to 2006's The Transit Rider, an impressive ride of a concept album based on the theatrical piece of the same name. With a meager ...

Stars have been touring seemingly nonstop since the release of In Our Bedroom After the War, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new song posted on their MySpace called Why I Want to Save You. The bulletin announcing the song says it's about rollerskating and falling in love with your customer. Well, OK. I think that's something we can all relate to... The song is pretty and subdued, and...

A few years back, I traveled to Scotland with my brother and a good friend. As we all have strong personalities (read as: opinionated, mouthy bastards who fly off the handle at the slightest provocation), several folks suggested the trip would be a disaster and that they would keep tuned to CNN for up-to-the-minute body counts. Much to everyone's shock (and chagrin) the trip was without incid...
