Let's be honest. There's a reason that radio stations play Lady Gaga over Morrissey at a rate of about 10,000 to 1. People would rather listen to upbeat, albeit lyrically lacking songs, than be reminded, quite poetically, about how awful their lives are. This is one of the reasons remixes and mashups even exist. Take a song we already like, inject it with a harder bassline and more persistent d...

I don't know what I was doing but somehow I missed Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos peformance on Conan a few weeks back. They performed an amazing rendition of "As Tall As Cliffs" off of their recent dual album release Animal/Not Animal . Here's some thoughts I had while watching. First - damn that's a lot of people playing on that stage/floor. Imagine if they played the Sidebar . Second -...

I doubt this is much of an exclusive, but I always enjoy having Perch Exclusive in my post title to build excitement. I received in my inbox today a much anticipated email from Sony Epic, Margot’s new label, giving me a peek at the new album and confirming that my copy is in the mail [...]

It's not often that a band releases a double album, and it's even more unlikely that I enjoy it. This is the case, though, for Indiana's Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos and their newly released double LP Animal/Not Animal. Previously I only had brief encounters with Margot's music, but since I recently became [...]

Not too long ago, I mentioned to Justin that I had been listening to the new Margot and the Nuclear So and So's double album, since he had booked them at Randy Bacon's twice to that point and we both were big fans. Instead of getting the usual "how is it?" response, he immediately said [...]

Our friend Helen Hoang was on scene for the Margot & The Nuclear So and So's Troubadour show right here in LA. Here's her recap! Some things that were noted for: Aesthetics 1. The super awesome animal masks they had on when they entered the stage, obviously to represent the title of their new album. 2. The cool backdrop (of a forrest/natural setting) and lamps on stage. They even had a big ...

As someone unfamiliar with Margot and the Nuclear So and So's previous song catalog (I know, I should have done my homework), I cannot attest to frontman Richard Edwards' assessment of Margot's dual sophomore efforts as a rawer, noisier and edgier follow-up to 2005's the Dust of Retreat. But I'll... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit the MCMB website for full links, free music, great vid...

As expected, this has been a busy time for New and Used Records. Tomorrow, we release the third of our four releases for this year, and we still have two more CD release parties to go. The days have been filled with email sending, blog posting, envelope stuffing and blog responding. It is always fun though to receive a "Google Alert" informing me that someone is writing about one of our band...
