A Tale of Genius; In Three Easy Parts

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted April, 29th 2008

Animal Collective played Coachella last weekend. Here is "Bearhug", a new unrecorded song. I will never tire of the harmonies created by Avey and Panda. You might also note the absence of Deakin, who is on hiatus from the band. Hopefully he will rejoin them in the future. Don't forgot, AC release a four song EP "Water Curses" in early May on Domino Records.MP3: Water Curses-Animal CollectiveWolf Parade have made it official. The new album is to be called "At...

Wolf Parade announce tour, Atlanta 7/28

From Cable and Tweed, Posted April, 29th 2008

Well, hot damn. With a new album (now called At Mount Zoomer) on the way, Wolf Parade have announced summer tour dates including July 28 at Variety Playhouse. The entire tour appears to be at similar mid-size venues, most considerably smaller than I think they could fill. I imagine tickets will be very tight. Anybody know the Atlanta on-sale date?7/07 Crofoot Ballroom, Pontiac, MI7/08 House of Blues, Chicago, IL 7/09 First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN7/12 Commodore Ballroom,...

Tony Stark: Closet Deadhead

From Cable and Tweed, Posted April, 29th 2008

I think it's a little bit sad when somebody shrugs off the music of their past because it's not "cool" anymore. Witness the hip Mr. Tony Stark in Iron Man vol. 4 #2 (February 2005)...Oh, really, Tony? Apparently he's forgotten that wild night at Berkeley's Greek Theater, captured by artist Steve Ditko in Iron Man #160 (July 1982). Behold...NOODLE DANCINGIRON MANOh, yes. We know the truth.You can stream the Dead's May 21, 1982, show at the Greek...

From Sound Bites, Posted April, 29th 2008

In March 2002 I saw Elbow open for South at Bowery Ballroom... the first time I'd seen either band live. All I remember about that show is it was Guy Garvey's birthday and that I thought South suffered a bit......

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted April, 29th 2008

The lineup for the 2008 Monolith Festival at Red Rocks was announced this morning, and it is sizzling hot.

Fuel/Friends is excited to be working with the Hot Freaks! bloggers group for this festival to curate part of the lineup. We've got...

Royal Bangs

From Covert Curiosity, Posted April, 29th 2008

After getting more recommendations then I can shake a stick at, I dug through the stack of CDs on my desk to try on this new album from a band out of Knoxville called Royal Bangs. They are a quartet signed to the Audio Eagle label that was started up by Patrick Carney of the Black Keys, and their debut album We Breed Champions has been spreading across the blogs in rapid fashion. If you want to call it indie...
