The Daily Graboid
Artists mentioned:Another week, another batch of new releases to sink our teeth into. I haven’t listened to much this week, but i’ve really liked the few songs i’ve heard from Brazilian Girls’ New York City, Oxford Collapse’s Bits, and Ida’s My Fair, My Dark EP. I’ve never particularly liked anything from...(read full post)

Georgie James Calls It Quits. Shit.
Artists mentioned:Before I moved to DC I used to joke that it wasn’t any use getting into DC bands since the thing that DC bands do best is break up. Since moving here, I’ve realized that nobody that lives in DC is from here (self included) and nobody that comes here...(read full post)

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart :: “Everything With You”
Artists mentioned:The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are a three-piece band from New York whose name just screams indie pop, so much so that it could possibly make you a bit sick to your stomach (in a good way, though). I first heard this band when they released their single,...(read full post)

New Of Montreal :: “Id Engager”
Artists mentioned:Pitchfork has premiered an MP3 of what will be the lead single on Of Montreal’s forthcoming album Skeletal Lamping, and guess what? It pretty much sounds exactly how would you imagine it to be. In fact, it’s very much in tone with all of Hissing Fauna…, which is not a...(read full post)

Grizzly Bear :: “Two Weeks” Live on Letterman
Artists mentioned:Can Grizzly Bear do anything wrong? Because they just seem to effortlessly turn out new tunes that completely slap the ugly off the faces of millions. I actually had no idea that the group recently performed on Letterman, let alone the fact that they were performing a live debut of...(read full post)

The Daily Graboid
Artists mentioned:Kind of a short week for releases once again, but there are a couple of new albums to take a look at nonetheless. One album I definitely recommend is former Mojave 3/Slowdive frontman Neil Halstead’s second solo album, Oh! Mighty Engine. Also out this week is the full-length We have...(read full post)

Our Favorite Songs of 2008 So Far…
Artists mentioned:We’re a few weeks late - okay, a month - with our mid-year songs lists, but i’ve finally gotten off my lazy ass to get this up. This has been an annual thing since the blog has started, so it would be wrong to just completely forget about it. Anyways,...(read full post)

Pitchfork Festival: Day 3
Artists mentioned:Finally, almost a full week after I put up my coverage of Day 1, you get my final thoughts from last weekend. I went to Day Three sore and exhausted. I’d gone to my only afterparty of the weekend the night before featuring Jay Reatard (I expected better) and the...(read full post)

Panda Riot :: She Dares All Things
Artists mentioned:I’ve been listening to Panda Riot since discovering them earlier this year, but for some odd reason (laziness) I haven’t mentioned them here at all. Time to rectify that, as there are two very good reasons to do so: 1.) They’re playing at Athens Popfest this year. 2.) They recently...(read full post)

Grouper :: Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill
Artists mentioned:I’m actually wide awake this morning, something I haven’t been able to do in weeks it seems. What a way to kick of an otherwise typical Monday than with this downright beautiful song that was posted on Gorilla vs. Bear recently from Portland’s Grouper, aka Liz Harris. I’m not really...(read full post)

The Sunday Shuffle
Artists mentioned:I’ve been completely overwhelmed this week with so many great albums, that I wish gas prices weren’t so ridiculous so I could just drive around town and listen to them all. At the moment, i’m currently just sitting around figuring out what to do on this lovely Sunday afternoon (kinda...(read full post)

Earlimart - Hymn and Her
Artists mentioned:Despite the fact that they may never get out from under the Elliott Smith comparisons, Earlimart have been making consistently good indie pop for a while now- softly breathy vocals, rhythmic acoustic strumming, and little flourishes of synth, all wrapped around strong (yet mellow) melodies. On July 1st, Earlimart is...(read full post)

Girl Talk encourages you to Feed The Animals whatever you want
Artists mentioned:Girl Talk, the masher extraordinaire, has released his latest album today. And, in Radiohead fashion, he’s letting you pick your own price for Feed the Animals. Anything under 5 bucks gets you the mp3s at 320kbps, 5-10 gets you the album in FLAC, and 10 and up will get you...(read full post)

Sigur Rós - U.S. Tour Dates Announced
Artists mentioned:Ah, Sigur Rós. Every time a new album is on the way, the anticipation builds. This is, of course, related to their knack for making great albums, but it also has to do with their ability to put on a truly transcendent live show. As otherworldly as their music is...(read full post)

The Daily Graboid
Artists mentioned:For those that were bummed that I didn’t post last week’s Graboid, hopefully this week will make up for it as i’ve included everything onto this week. As usual, lots of great releases to check out, but I don’t have time to mention all of them since i’m running late...(read full post)

Athens Popfest Schedule Now Online
Artists mentioned:I’m not sure if an email or anything went out for this, but I came across the Athens Popfest schedule while randomly skimming through the website. The official lineup announcement came last month, and i’m still in the midst of previewing a lot these bands for myself. Anything here that...(read full post)
