After All Recovery

From Headphone Sex, Posted May, 15th 2008

Well done to Geoff McQueen, who won t-shirts beyond his wildest dreams in my competition. Hurrah!

I've just been hit by this in my inbox & feel it's worth sharing... a remix of 'Windowlicker' incorporating cut-up dialog from the video. I'm not usually into all that cut-up hip hop stuff, but probably because of the high quality ingredients, this is hot.

Kensington Heights-Constantines

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted May, 15th 2008

Constantines make music to live life by. It is hard, uncompromising, substantial. Yet it is also tender and vulnerable. It is music to shout to, laugh to, cry to, salute to. Above all, it is human and true. "Kensington Heights", their latest and first on Arts and Crafts, continues the Toronto band's tradition of direct and succinct rock. While never breaking the bank of originality, they have made a enormous deposit into the bank of heart and soul.One day I...

Elbow at the Avalon 05.09.08

From Speed of Dark, Posted May, 15th 2008

Grounds for Divorce Drummer Richard Jupp and bassist Pete TurnerViolinistsThe fog obscures some of the frenetic energy that the band brings to their live show, but it could not mask the fact that Elbow, especially Guy Garvey, performed one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Garvey asked the audience repeatedly if we were having a good time - and it was obvious that he truly was concerned. His stage presence and banter were...

Clinic is coming

From Covert Curiosity, Posted May, 15th 2008

The four gents of Liverpool's Clinic are touring the states throughout May, playing shows in a handful of select cities. Neumo's in Seattle, the Bowery in NYC, the Black Cat in D.C., Cat's Cradle in North Carolina, Troubador in L.A., and of course right here in Austin at Emo's. There's a good reason that Clinic is performing at the hot spots in these towns, these guys know how to rock. They play funky, demented, fast-paced psych rock that is complimented...

I'm going to see Radiohead

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted May, 15th 2008

I don't know how I missed it, but there's a Radiohead date on August 3rd in Noblesville, Indiana, which Google Maps tells me is a mere 4.5 hours drive. Are any of you fair readers going? Is my life going to be changed in ways I'm not quite ready for? Should I bring smelling salts and the jaws of life in case I pass out or die from an overdose of awesome?[mp3] Radiohead - There, There[mp3] Radiohead - Last Flowers...

LET'S GET SOME INDIE-ROCK UP IN THIS BITCH

From Green Pea Ness, Posted May, 15th 2008

A great band to get drunk toAir Traffic, "Charlotte" - So I suppose I should disclose this right up front: I accidentally got kinda drunk at the show. You know how sometimes you roll up to the club reasonably late and without any cash, and so you head to the bar and order something, and the bartender makes it right there in front of you and hands it to you and says "six bucks" and so you hand him your...

Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted May, 15th 2008

The cool little Strut Records imprint will be releasing the new Grandmaster Flash album later this year, and in addition to a fine roster that already boasts things like Disco Italia: Essential Italo Disco Classics (so all over that!) and Funky Nassau, they have a new collection that I am absolutely loving.Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump is a compilation of "original heavyweight afrobeat highlife and afro-funk" music that I'm finding to be just the cure for ears tired of the same...
