Via twosyllable records:Summer is no myth. It exists year round on Holiday Shores Ct, a two-block stretch on the Florida panhandle where twenty-one year old Nathan Pemberton grew up. It’s no more than five minutes from white sand beaches, squawks of seagulls, and wafting smells of suntan lotion.Columbus’d The Whim is the first first full-length [...]

In the movie Forest Gump, Forest finds himself a significant part of many major historical moments from the 1950’s onward. From meeting a young Elvis, to investing in Apple, Gump was everywhere. Perhaps the same could be said about the late keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, who played a significant role in recording some of [...]
Back when I was a young lad, in my “obsessed with every typical classic rock artist phase”, I was a big fan of The Who. I regarded Tommy as one of the greatest albums of all time and Who’s Next came in a close second. Now when I listen to these albums they [...]
From White Denim’s MySpace:The story, I’ve found of white denim really, begins with parque touch; then; after the departure of byshop massive from which white denim comes. In not attempting to prefess, now I may if I will say that these jobs are reflected in each song of the bands every move. The sirs before [...]

I first got into Super Furry Animals around 2001. Back then I was really into the British rock magazine Mojo and I remember reading a little blurb about a band called Super Furry Animals that simultaneously released an audio and DVD album called Rings Around the World. It sounded awesome, so without hearing [...]

My favorite Fleetwood Mac song and probably one of my top ten favorite songs ever. And not to be a dork, but I haven’t found a song that sounds better than this on vinyl.
I had 9 songs left to download for the month on Emusic and was looking for something to get. While browsing through the current 10 most downloaded albums, I checked out Cymbals Eat Guitars and realized their album Why There Are Mountains was exactly 9 songs. I gave one of the songs a [...]
