Thursday Music Miscellany

From Bradleys Almanac, Posted June, 19th 2008

Well, last week's string of 4 rock shows in 4 days took a toll, and I've been pretty much out of commission since. The ol' constitution she ain't what she used to be, so lack of sleep and exposure to hundreds of fellow music fans left me with a nasty virus that I've been trying hard to kick. And I'd better kick it soon, because tonight is the big Sleepyhead / Thalia Zedek Band / Retribution...

From Sound Bites, Posted June, 19th 2008

I know this wasn't the coolest show of the night (Sigur Ros) or the coolest show of Love is All's visist (Cake Shop or Market Hotel win over this) but what show! And band-for-band one of the best I've seen......

au revoir texas

From Cubik Musik, Posted June, 19th 2008

I am sitting on my porch on a 95 degree (Fahrenheit)/ 35 degree (Celsius ) evening here in Austin. I've spent pretty much every night over the past month like this. Listening to music, drinking beers, enjoying the heat and......

Welcome to Our TV Show! Episode 5!

From The Daily Growl, Posted June, 19th 2008

If it?s another month, it?s surely time for another Welcome to our TV Show. This month Jeremy and Fay have gone for a corporate tie-in and given us a label showcase. Happily it?s the ever-ace Moshi Moshi records that?s getting the WTOTS big-up and we?ve got three of their best ? The Wave Pictures, Hot Club de Paris and Slow Club playing in the Warmsley-Buzzard lounge.I need say no more about The Wave Pictures, because they?re already big DG favourites...

The Broken Letters Sing the Burning Alphabet

From Speed of Dark, Posted June, 19th 2008

Brad Davis and David Hickox show the Broken Letters have a lighter side"Almost blues," announces the headline of The Broken Letters' MySpace page. Almost? This band is actually pretty damn bluesy in a Southern gothic, garage-band kind of way. The way the guitar lines mimic the sound of dripping raindrops makes you wish for gloomy fall days instead of the bright sun of summer, but you could also get into this with a bottle of gin on...

45 Days until I see Radiohead

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted June, 19th 2008

That's right folks, in forty-five days I will be darkening the door of one Verizon Wireless Music Center to embark upon a magical physical, mental, and dare I say spiritual journey: I will see Radiohead play music for thousands of people. Words don't really explain the excitement I feel deep down when I look at this ticket, I'm like a kid on Christmas, I literally can't help but smile.How many of you have already seen them on this tour? Was...

Sigur Ros Announces North American Tour

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted June, 19th 2008

While this is excellent news for a lot of you, it's very sad news for me, as Sigur Ros will not be coming back to Nashville this go around. It makes me want to shed a single tear. They're not really even coming close, I mean Chicago is 7 hours away and only a 70 dollar plane ticket each way, I'm beginning to think it's worth it.Sigur Ros 2008 North American Tour Dates09/17 - New York, NY @ The United...

From Cable and Tweed, Posted June, 19th 2008

C&T's friends at Kindercore have been kind enough to point out that the full lineup for Athens Popfest (August 12-16) is now online. I don't see a weak link in the whole schedule, and that closing night at 40 Watt is going to be epic.

Using all the colors :: Frightened Rabbit interview

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted June, 19th 2008

In the short time I've been listening to Scotland's Frightened Rabbit, something in their music has hit me hard. Their latest album Midnight Organ Fight has been more or less on constant repeat and haven't even come close to getting tired of it. You can read all about it here.Scott Hutchison formed the band with his brother Grant (who is an insanely ferocious and passionate drummer) in 2004. I was curious to learn more about the person largely behind these...
