Grizzly Bear – While You Wait For The Others
Really, really excited to hear the studio version of this track, after having spent most of my Summer with the “Morning Becomes Eclectic” version and feeling for the tall guy as he suddenly gets all self-conscious (and who wouldn’t?) while singing his big “WHOA-OH-OOOAHHHH!” live on Conan. Who knows if this version will be the [...]
Junior Boys – Begone Dull Care
Aaaaand we’re back! Wow, six months or so is a long while to not post, but after ELK and a new pal maganged to revive me a bit I have returned with a super great album and track to share. Junior Boys are putting out a new album in, well, about seven weeks. Or eight [...]
Happiest Bloke Around
This new Bonnie “Prince” Billy album seems to be a much brighter affair, and like Cat Power’s “You Are Free,” will be keeping a lot of people happy throughout the Summer. But the lyrics stay swarthy, as in this little ditty. But then, what kind of exhibitionist would he be if not with great conviction? [...]

Spittin’ Superlatives Again
Awright, I guess I should stop beating around the bush and just say that in my humble opines Pavement is the best band there is. I think indie labels feel too self-conscious to make greatest hits packages, feeling that songs need to be heard in the context of their albums, or that such compilations are [...]

Rob Described Eternity
Guest posting tonight is Rob Booher, the only guy I ever met who could pull off zipping his coat up all the way and still look cool. Its Rob who I have to thank for dropping The Lonesome Crowded West on me when I was 18 and thus created the saddest lil’ fanboy of the [...]
Radiohead – Nude (Boo Radley Original Rap Remix)
Alright, first off, he ain’t heavy. Boo Radley is skinny as a muhfucker. Second off, my good friend here has released a remix for the old Radiohead “Nude” remixo contest, and let me tell you: it is a worthy thing. You want to vote for this track? Do That. You want to have this track? [...]
She & Him
Unabashed biters. I’ve always favored them. From Vanilla Ice to Nick Lowe to Jens Lekman, they see this big burger of melodies from the past and they just take that chomp. They do it from love and admiration: Lowe is quoted in the liner notes for his recently re-issued “Jesus Of Cool” as saying “I [...]
