  • Vinyl Here Kids

    I, and others, I suspect, have begun purchasing vinyl in lieu of CDs. The LP's praises have been sung by others before: large, beautiful, warm and deep-- we know, we know. And archaic, though that always seemed to me a tricky appeal. There's nothing inherently better about outdated technology-- that's...(read full post)

  • Make Me One

    I'll be away for a week or so; if you miss me just check the Muxtape! Don't ever come back here again if you're not feeling it.So Much Silence's Muxtape is 180 degrees from mine, but killing it just the same!You haven't heard The Explorers Club but they will blow...(read full post)

  • Taking The Farm

    I realize that Music Go Music wasn't for everyone. You don't have to explain yourselves, but let me give you one more on the Secretly Canadian (/Jagjaguwar/Dead Oceans/oh my!) tip:The War On Drugs - Taking The FarmWagonwheel Blues (Secretly Canadian; 2008)I realize there's an argument of pastiche vs. homage to...(read full post)

  • Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura

    Like anybody who has followed Pas/Cal since The Handbag Memoirs came out in 1976, endless delays on the LP saw hopes fade, along with the band, into obscurity.Now it's coming out; the proof follows.Pas/Cal - You Were Too Old For MeI Was Raised On Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura (Le...(read full post)

  • Brother Run Them Down

    At first, as the synth wash gives way to staccato electric piano, it seems we're in for a mindless Big Moments 70s re-run, but then Music Go Music keep nailing it, and it becomes clear that this is no joke. The production, the perfectly thrumming guitar, the phased drums, the...(read full post)

  • Teen Creeps

    I've made a Muxtape. Due to their restrictions it's a dumbed-down version of a longer mix, although maybe that's okay-- the real one's just too special.***I've begun purchasing vinyl instead of CDs, and Nouns came in the mail yesterday. There couldn't be anything more perfect than that.No Age - EraserNouns...(read full post)

  • Skinny Love

    Back On Stages #2 Bon Iver - Skinny Loveby lablogothequeDoesn't this footage invest "Skinny Love" with some Powerful Force of the Classics? It totally does. For Emma, Forever Ago is really a good album, for those who have yet to hear.Bon Iver - Skinny LoveFor Emma, Forever Ago (Jagjaguwar; 2008)***So...(read full post)

  • Someone Loves You Very Much

    I am guessing we've all downloaded Enjoyed by now, Stereogum's star-studded tribute to Bjork's Post. Admittedly, I have never heard the original album, and my excitement stemmed from the inclusion of Liars, No Age, Grizzly Fantasy, and especially Evangelicals. I have become consumed by this band, championing them and their...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • The Click Wheel Five V

    I enjoyed Moistworks' version of the Click Wheel Five yesterday, and thought it time for another installment of my own.The Cure - The Walk (Acoustic)from Greatest HitsI don't really like the inclusion of acoustic recordings of all the band's hits on this compilation. They're not the intimate re-readings or hushed...(read full post)
