Warpaint – ‘Elephants’ Video, Tour With Akron/Family

From theFADER:
What’s weird about this brand new video for one of the best songs off Warpaint’s debut is that while it looks like it was filmed in slow motion, we can tell you for a fact that this is what these ladies look like in real life. They’re like …

Flashback: The Stone Roses – Standing Here

The Stone Roses are pretty underrated. Seriously. Try to find a free download of “Standing Here” on the interwebz. It ain’t easy. In fact, I couldn’t find one ANYWHERE. Like 500 expired links and 30 second clips, and in my (not-so-humble) opinion it’s their …

Forever Basting in Felch Juice, Cattle Decapitation

Even though I got over this band when I was like 16, and traded my cowprint vinyl LP for Carey’s Problem and Bowie’s Hunky Dory I still feel compelled to bring you some Cattle Decapitation news. Maybe cause they were kind of ridiculously awesome, or because …

Galapaghost is Ukel-Indie Rock At Its Finest

Let’s be honest here: Galapaghost sounds a lot like a lot of stuff we’ve already heard. True.
But you can probably name 5 bands you love the shit out of that sound a lot alike, right? Well, so can we. For starters: The Magnetic Fields, Dent May & His Magnificient …

Band To Watch: Daddy Lion

I get really, really skeptical when bands who send me music to review list REALLY GOOD artists under their “Influences.” So I was immediately expecting an aural atrocity when I visited Daddy Lion’s myspace page and they had the following artists listed as major …

You’ve all heard both of these songs already, and we probably woulda posted them ages ago had it not been for STUPID *****host breaking our FREAKING servers every other day. Thanks a lot, hosting service, for sucking ass and making us fall behind on like, …

Flashback: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD

Until pretty recently I had no idea what “ABC BBD” actually meant. I’m not sure where the epiphany came from but it came just the same, so enter another (late) version of the Flashback Friday post, featuring The East Coast Family. Howcome nothing sounds like …

Obligatory Holiday Post

This video was made over two days on a zero budget by this band called Burning Hank. We think it’s pretty good. Check them out on bandcamp and if you dig ‘em visit their myspace for more tunes. I feel kinda bad cause I feel like these guys deserve more than a …

Le Castle Vania Goes To 11

Make no mistake about it — Le Castle Vania makes some ridiculously hot tracks.  His drums and synths hit so hard they could make the walls at Madison Square Garden shake.  I honestly don’t think there’s anyone I’m more excited about in terms of electronic …

Flashback: Shel Silverstein on The Johnny Cash Show

You know him best from “A Light In The Attic” or “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” I do, too. This was my favorite:
Someone ate the baby it’s rather sad to say

Someone ate the baby so she won’t be out to play

We’ll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if …

Hot Hot Heat Readies New Album, Releases Two New Jams

You’ll have to forgive the slightly outdated nature of this post — things have been insane at my job and it’s just been hell updating.

Onto some real talk though: Long story short, Hot Hot Heat is an interesting band.  It appears that, over the years, they’ve …
