Back to the Beginning: Creep

A Mish Mash Sort of Day
Artists mentioned:Today is a mishmash. I've been working on a special project with the Bully of Culture himself, Chris, for a while now, and I just haven't had the time to dig for that next new artist.

Possible Favorites: The Possible Selves

An Interview With Office's Scott Masson
Artists mentioned:There has been one band out of Chicago in recent memory that makes me a bit sad that I left Chicago some years ago. That band is Office. They have had the unique effect of appearing equally genuine and contrived at the very same time to the skeptic in me....(read full post)

Upcoming Album: Now It's Overhead "Dark Light Daybreak"
Artists mentioned:As a band, Now It's Overhead doesn't need much of an introduction in the world of independent music, but they've had a suprisingly small presence in press on this here intershizzle. They must be stuck in one of the "tubes" the internet is apparently made of. Now It's Overhead (NIO...(read full post)

A New Mars Volta Song!
Artists mentioned:I'm a big fan of progressive rock. Really, I am! But there aren't many musical acts today who do it in the spirit which it began with. One group that has done an outstanding job of carrying the torch is The Mars Volta. This incredible duo knows how to make...(read full post)

Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye Preview/Review
Artists mentioned:The more of these promotional copies I get the more I realize that a year is a long time, and I think how foolish I have been to have thought that so many of the year's best albums have already been released. Have some of those "Best Of 2006ers" come...(read full post)
