Quickly found among the massive list of this week are Muse and The Dodos. Not many groups can really capture the stadium presence in an album like Muse. The Resistance features this airy rock along ...Related posts:New Album Releases For Tuesday 9/1/2009New Album Releases For Tuesday 9/29/2009New Album Releases For Tuesday 8/4/2009

After last weeks barrage of good shit it's hard for a week to follow up but I think this week did a pretty good jorb! Porcupine Tree has been around a long time and they have always put out excellent stuff so I cant imagine that The Incident is going to disappoint. UPDATE...Apparently it CAN, because it's not very good...at all. You know what has a really good chance of disappointing your ears?...

Today marks the release of The Dodos' 3rd album, Time To Die. It also marks the addition of a third member, 21-year old Keaton Snyder on the vibraphone, to the San Francisco-based band. Despite beefing up the band and the involvement of Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Fleet Foxes, The Shins) The Dodos maintain their relatively simple, upbeat, percussion-driven sound that makes their music so delightful

After an internet leak The Dodos decided to bring forward the online release date of their fourth album Time To Die by a month to July 28th and even started to stream the album on their dedicated website from mid July.It's a difficult start to what is potentially a difficult album for the Californian three-piece. Coming after their 2008 release Visitor they certainly have a lot to live up to. C...

As reported by the band last week, The Dodos new album, Time to Die, has leaked two months in advance of the official release. Due to this common event, they’ve made some moves to help keep their pockets from draining too heavily. Learn more over at Stereogum. Since letting their album stream, a [...]

One of my biggest gripes as a fan of live music is the fact that most stages are set up in a fairly predictable manner: guitarist and lead singer in front, keyboard and bass off to either side, and drum player in the back, in the shadows, hidden by the drum set. It’s often tough to even see the percussionist, nestled so far toward the back wall, and it’s basically impossible to snap a good pho

The Dodos are a wonderful example of a band that doesn't want to reinvent the wheel just to have an individual sound. Logan Kroeber prefers his drum kit sans kick drum which compliments their new presumably full-time member on vibraphone, Keaton Snyder, very well. Acoustic guitar player and ...

I have a review of The Dodos new album, Time to Die, online now at the East Bay Express:Gently layered on top of the Dodos' pounding rhythms, both from the polyrhythmic drums and syncopated guitar strumming, is a melodic sweetness. That combination, plus some classic California psychedelic touches, gives the band's pop songs their fuzzy edges — too often at the expense of the hectic rawness of

Photos by: Bank of KarmaIf you build it…they will come, and (((folkYEAH!))) has surely nestled itself into the soul of Big Sur over the past four years, drawing both Bay Area and national talent into unconventional settings that make it hard to return to the dive bars and overlarge auditoriums within our urban confines. The [...]

Last time I saw The Dodos they were playing to a fair sized crowd at Outside Lands Festival last month. Their set at the festival was pretty good actually. But there seemed to be something missing from this performance.While the epic drum extensions were still there and seemed like a scene from Stomp. It’s fair [...]

My boy Scotty up in SLC recently launched his blog LIVING EARS which is super rad. He's doing podcasts every week with some killer tunes laced with his commentary, rants, and raves in-between. Here are the mp3 downloads and track lists for podcast volumes #1 and #2. If you're down with it, head to Living Ears and subscribe. MP3: Living Ears Podcast Volume #2 William Shatner - Common Pe...

Alright, the first time this game hit MOG I sucked at it. Like, really really sucked at it. Sucked so much I couldn't leave a comment, because I had no clue and I didn't want to make an ass of myself guessing. I've never been great at remembering lyrics to songs. My older sister and best pal Courtney -- geniuses at it. Growing up, and I'm talking before songs were being leaked on the Internet,...

So I posted a while ago about my excitement of Tilly and The Wall and how they created a distinct, hypnotic rhythm by substituting a drummer with a zealous tap-dancer. So I heard the San Francisco-based The Dodos, I dug their similar cadence, though their formula is different. The Dodos’ Meric Long (a former student of West African Ewe drumming...but weren't we all....), does frenetic, finger-p.

can't turn this fucking song off! it's a good thing i like it :)got to see them play for the first time last friday at the los angeles natural history museum. they totally rocked out the north american mammals wing. also, it's a lot of fucking fun to get wasted and wander around making fun of ancient latin american reliquaries. even more fun than it sounds. and yes, while they played "fool...
