Our reoccurring For Shame! feature kinda went the way of the Dodo after Luftmensch wrote about James Blunt (we're still not sure we've forgiven him either), but I think we need to revive it. Lady Gaga's Just Dance has been our For Shame! Fall/Winter crush jam. I don't know if you caught her on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, but she rocked some pantyhoes like she'd simply lost h...

photo cred: Faith-Ann Young (via ) We've been pressing Lemonade on our weekly SIRIUS XM show a lot lately . We even picked them to be one of our "Most Likely To Suceed" bands of 2009. So, we were really happy to see Pitchfork give them an 8.3 today . While their self-titled debut album was released by True Panther late last year, 2009 will really be the year you'll start hearing more...

2009 is already shaping up to look like a great year for music, thanks in part to NewVillager , who are set to release their debut 7" single, Rich Doors , this month on twosyllable records . The band hails from San Francisco by way of Brooklyn and consists of just two guys, Ben Bromley and Ross Simonini, who seem determined to fuck with the face of dance music. Rich Doors does just that, ki...

The rapid ascension of Brooklyn's Vivian Girls was an interesting thing to witness in 2008. In that short time they quickly earned the respect of critics and their peers, but have had an up-and-down relationship with some fans. They've already played shows with a long list of all-stars and up-and-comers : Yo La Tengo, Deerhunter, Times New Viking, King Khan, Love Is All and Jay Reatard ...

The other way I wasted my time last night... I have seen some train wrecks in my day, but nothing prepared me (not even the first two seasons!) for the amount of crazy that showed up for Rock Of Love Bus (season three) last night. Small photo recap here . Porn stars, strippers, Penthouse pets, fighting Brazillians and a plentitude of silicone-injected groupie/white trash turned out to ba...

Let's take a TV break for few and discuss some of VH1's new show premieres... I got pretty wrapped up in Confessions Of A Teen Idol last night. For now, this reality show actually seems to have some soul in it. I hated on more than a few of these guys growing up, so before it aired, I thought I might enjoy seeing how their careers have faultered. I actually found myself feeling quite th...

Denton, Texas' Bosque Brown have been working on their sophomore release, Baby , for the last 15 months and are now set to release it this March. This extensive time to record and get things right is in stark contrast to the expediency with with their debut and follow-up EP were created. The reports also indicate more expansive instrumentation, but with a focus on lead singer, Mara Mill...

2008 was an exciting year in many ways. Of course the socio-political climate gave many of us something be excited about, but I was pretty charged up looking back on 2008 and all the quality music it produced. In today's disposable, no attention span world, there were a lot of bands with a lot of staying power and a lot of bands that might buck the internet darling/burn-bright-burn-out tren...

Indiana native, Courtney Kaiser's piercing blue eyes are not to be missed in this episode of The Laundromatinee. More important than the superficial though, KaiserCartel's warm, inviting vocals will start your day (or afternoon. or night.) off on the right foot. KaiserCartel - Oh No (live on MOKB/Laundromatinee/SIRIUS XM Blog Radio) Download all three songs and watch the videos at Th...

I've kinda been done with The Killers for more than a hot minute, but this kinda brought me back in. Hot Fuss seemed hit at just the right time, and I did drive to Chicago to see them on that tour, and it ended up being a pretty great show. The letdown of Sam's Town sucked all the air out, and haven't been too impressed with the new material, but I did watched them on SNL this year. I los...

As we said previously , sure, there are a lot of obvious records and and artists to look forward to in 2009, but who are the ones that are going to come out of nowhere and knock your socks off? Alela Diane still remains firmly under the radar outside of the blogosphere, but she is quietly putting out some of the most incredible, and somewhat simple, music around. Possibly overshadowed ...

He played three songs for us, two of which are unnamed and unreleased. You can check them all out and download them here! Castanets released City of Refuge this year though Asthmatic Kitty Records .

I'm not sure Bon Iver has ever done anything I don't agree with or love. We've been Justin Vernon's staunchest supporter from the beginning , you know?! But this...well this...hmmmm.... Bon Iver covers Your Love live: See, The Outfield's Your Love is MOKB's karaoke jam. If it's in the deck and there is karaoke to be sung, you can damn well bet we're rocking this one out. I don't car...

In 2007 The Long Winters, after a 3 months on the road in the U.S. and abroad, returned home to their native Seattle for the final show of the tour. On hand was the crew of Dorsia Films to record the show as part of an ongoing documentary about the band. The footage and recording of the show wound up so well done, they decided to release it as a prelude to the upcoming Through With Love ...

Another creeper this year was Ode To Sunshine by the Delta Spirit . Maybe it wasn't a creeper really, I was probably just slow on the uptake. Either way, you'll find it on a whole lot of 2008 Best Of lists. Soulful americana rock-pop that will do your ears and legs good. Their guitarist Sean Walker reports in on his holiday ways and means... Delta Spirit - People C'Mon Delta Spirit ...
