Yellow Fever :: The Culver City EP

Yellow FeverPosted on

One of our favorite EPs of 2006 was that of the Austin, TX based lo-fi pop outfit Yellow Fever. If you were a fan of the seminal Raincoats, it's highly recommended that you investigate this female driven group. They just released some new jams via a 7" entitled The Culver City EP, in a very limited pressing of 500 copies.

The Avett Brothers :: Emotionalism

The Avett BrothersPosted on

Prior to the March release of Emotionalism I counted myself a casual fan of the Avett Brothers -- this was the record that changed that.

Made up of two actual brothers (Seth Avett and Scott Avett) and a buddy (Bob Crawford), this North Carolina country/bluegrass/indie-folk outfit improve and become more versatile on every album. While I liked their last LP, Four Thieves Gone, Emotionalism is taking there sound to another level entirely.

    Neil Young :: Where The Buffalo Roam

    Hunter S. Thompson Neil YoungPosted on

    "I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... but they've always worked for me." - Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

    Listen, I'm not here to defend the original feature film based on the writings of Hunter S. Thompson entitled Where The Buffalo Roam (1980)...oh wait, yes I am, but I'll be brief.

    The movie, typically, gets critically panned every time I hear it brought up in conversation; no matter . . .

    The Modern Lovers :: Reissued (U.S.)

    UncategorizedPosted on

    Any discussion regarding albums and artists who were ahead of the game in terms of influencing upcoming musical movements must include The Modern Lovers debut LP. This is the precursor to punk -- absolutely essential listening.

    Recorded in 1972, and released in 1976, the album was wayyy ahead of it’s time, influencing punk, post-punk and new wave. Hell, it even sounds remarkably fresh today.

    Without a doubt The Modern Lovers are the missing piece between the Lou Reed helmed Velvet Underground and The Ramones.

    Cool As Kim Deal :: Title To Come (Revisited)

    Breeders UncategorizedPosted on

    The year: 1992 - your host was 16 years old. The album: The Breeders POD. I can draw a line between certain albums in my formative years that connect to many of my listening habits and audio fetishes of today. A major landmark on this aural roadmap is without a doubt The Breeders 1990 debut POD.

    Microphones :: The Glow, Pt. 2

    MicrophonesPosted on

    Microphones was Phil Elvrum's longtime musical platform, and calling card, prior to changing the name to Mt. Eerie in late 2004. Experimental and lo-fi brilliance.

    Microphones 2001 album The Glow, Pt. 2 has re-occupied my attention the past week, due in part to the time recently spent taking in
