From Sound Bites, Posted April, 8th 2009

Rakes, clearly New York has missed you. Not seen here since May 2007, the London four-piece haven't had a record out in the States since their first (and the band just released their third, Klang!, in the UK), but you......

Ratatat at Stubb's last night

From Covert Curiosity, Posted April, 8th 2009

Ratatat rocked the house at Stubb's in Austin last night, playing a sold-out show in front of over 2,000 rabid fans. Comprised of Mike Stroud and Evan Mast, the duo performed material from their three studio albums and tossed in at least one brand new song, providing a glimpse of what?s coming on their next album.This was visible leap in stature for a Ratatat performance, including a huge light show, crazy visuals, smoke machines, and even a confetti bomb or...

Dan Auerbach @ The Basement

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted April, 7th 2009

'Twas a night for beards. And loudness. And greatness. Fun. Yes, it was. I have seen the might of The Black Keys in concert a couple of times and so a night with their singer Dan Auerbach was one to look forward to. Monday night at The Basement I was not to be disappointed. In fact it was exhilarating. Robust, strong. Soulful. Dan Auerbach is pure Rock and Roll. Pure energy. Pure passion and excitement. I left satisfied.Firstly, his solo...

Daedelus "LA Nocturn" Video

From Covert Curiosity, Posted April, 7th 2009

I first posted on the Los Angeles electronic music producer Daedelus in May of last year. Not long ago he announced another album, this time with the Friends of Friends label. The label invites an artist to make a split EP with a second band or musician, then a designer is called upon to create artwork, which is displayed on a limited-edition t-shirt.If you buy the t-shirt and you?ll get a download card that includes not just the EP, but...

Arcade Fire: Miroir Noir

From Covert Curiosity, Posted April, 6th 2009

Not just another concert movie, this experimental documentary mixes live footage with intimate in-studio bits and bizarre infomercial-esque scenes to create an intriguingly unnerving atmosphere. The 70-minute film will be featured in its entirety via pitchfork.com/tv for one week....

Live Mp3s: Mountain Goats (John Darnielle) in Somerville, MA

From Bradleys Almanac, Posted April, 5th 2009

One of the most rewarding results of recording the shows I go to is when I'm able to capture the exact moment when I completely fall for an artist. It happens rarely, since I'm most often well enough in love with a band before I see them on stage... but I felt it again two weeks back, just a few songs into John Darnielle's solo set at the Somerville Theatre. As a casual Mountain Goats follower...

Frankie's Gun!-The Felice Brothers

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted April, 3rd 2009

Damn! This is such a good song. I only discovered it early this year, but it was taken from the band's excellent self titled album last year. The good news is that their new album is being released on Team Love Records next week. "Yonder Is The Clock" is the name of the album and it is excellent. The better news is that the album is already available in this country on Spunk Records. Please find it. Here is a...

Bill Callahan Set To Release New Album

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted March, 23rd 2009

Bill Callahan will release his new album on April 14 on Drag City. "Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle" is the second release under the Callahan name since the singer dropped the Smog moniker. After seeing Bill play here in January and be thoroughly entranced I am looking forward to the new material. The first song available for public download is excellent and is hopefully a sign of things to come.Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle Track Listing1...

Sigur Ros does a Take-Away Show

From Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands, Posted March, 23rd 2009

La Blogotheque's series of "Take-Away Shows" are consistently brilliant - and this brand new one, in particular, is like going to music heaven:Sigur Ros - Við spilum endalaust - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.Little by little the room empties, the remaining diners drag out the final moments of their lunch, and then the drumsticks arrive. The environment is tense, but they jump in. A few notes on the harmonium, and an incredible voice that it would...
