From Untouched by Work or Duty, Posted June, 30th 2008

So I once read something mentioning that the best love songs are the unrequited songs. One supposes there may also be something to love itself—people do seem to go on and on about it. Well, Nashville's Magic Wands are certainly in love, and Chris and Dexy Valentine seem to be set on nothing less than spreading that feeling to everyone who comes into contact with them. And the amazing thing is that it's working. Even on us.New single Black Magic...

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted June, 30th 2008

Long on name, long on talent, or so it would seem. This young and talented artist is releasing his debut album this July on Say Hey Records. Originally from Oregon, Mr Robinson is now domiciled in Brooklyn and has been working on this material for a couple of years with some very esteemed helpers. Namely Chris Taylor and Christopher Bear (Grizzly Bear) and Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio). His music, from the parts of the album that I have...

Under the July sunshine, the SoCo Music Experience took over an open-air lot outside Coors Field in Denver on Saturday.

Fleet Foxes at the Echo - 06.28.08

From Speed of Dark, Posted June, 30th 2008

From left: Wargo, Pecknold, and SkjelsetAt one point I wasn't planning to go to this show because I knew I would have to go alone, and that's kind of a hassle due to the distance and traffic. But as I was enjoying listening Fleet Foxes' CD and writing my review, I suddenly thought, "WHY am I not seeing these people???" I bought my ticket right then, which turned out to be a good thing. Fleet Foxes sold out all...

More from No Age

From Covert Curiosity, Posted June, 30th 2008

This video for "Eraser" by No Age was debuted on MTV last night, so one might assume that they're getting back into the whole "music" thing. But judging by the comments left by some of their viewers, I think they'd much rather just watch more reruns of Jackass.Hey, whatever floats your boat. I think this video is pretty cool, and I dig No Age, and I'll be rocking out at their show tomorrow night at Emo's. As I told you...

Diving for Sunken Treasures: Grapefruit No Sugar

From Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands, Posted June, 30th 2008

At one time, I was far more devoted to finding buried or hidden musical treasures on the internet, and then sharing them with all of you on this blog. I admit, I've slacked off in that area quite a lot over the past year or so, though for mostly valid reasons (time being of the essence when you're a husband, father, full-time worker, and part-time writer). Plus, I figured all of you were out there exploring on your...
