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 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 [...]
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 videos

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...

Photo via MySpaceI have a feeling October 7 is going to be a good day to visit your local record store. Margot & The Nuclear So And Sos have released a first sample of their two upcoming albums, Animal! and Not Animal , both due out on October 7. What's the difference? Besides the former only being available on vinyl and the latter on CD (in addition to digitally for both), the band's My...
