In The New Year-The Walkmen

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted August, 21st 2008

Seriously, the new album from The Walkmen is outrageously good. A massive return to form after the somewhat disappointing "A Hundred Miles Off". I have been listening to the 'leaked' copy for a month now and have been absolutely loving it, but today I got the actual CD in my hands. Which for a music completist like me is always essential. Here we see the band performing "In The New Year" in some one's basement. It features all the...

Two Thousand and ACE

From The Daily Growl, Posted August, 21st 2008

Contrary to the song, the best things in life usually aren't free. Though often the best things come in the smallest packages - whether's it's your local independent cafe or bookshop, magazine or record label. Speaking of which, they don't come much smaller and more perfectly formed than Brainlove Records. They've already released one of the singles of the year in the shape of the Friends of the Bride / Modernaire split seven, and now they've come up with a...

Preview Mp3: new New Radiant Storm King

From Bradleys Almanac, Posted August, 21st 2008

If you've been reading this site long enough, you're likely aware of my firm belief that New Radiant Storm King released one of the finest albums of 2006 in "The Steady Hand". That thoughtfully energetic collection of dual-guitar rock songs kept the best aspects of what made this born-in-89 quartet so good throughout the 90s, while at the same time showing enough growth to not sound like a...

Nas at Emo's, Mixtape & More

From Covert Curiosity, Posted August, 21st 2008

In writing this I am struck with a literary dilemma; I don?t know how to begin an article about one of the best rappers alive. I could sing praises to the influence of Illmatic, make an ironic joke about how Hip Hop is NOT Dead, give props for the implied title of his more recent album Untitled (read more about that here), or even make a vin diagram contrasting the polarized Rolling Stone and Pitchfork reviews of said album?but...
