We're thinking that we just might make Friday the perfect day for a weekly cover song and what better way to kick this brainchild off than with this ultra-cool version -- and free download (!) -- of The Replacements' "Answering Machine" from SCOUT , the NY duo fronted by songwriter and vocalist Ashen Keilyn. Atop some initial acoustic strums, Keilyn and guitarist Steve Schiltz (Longwave) slowly turn up the heat to a gentle simmer, Keilyn singing her lamenting ode to frustration with "how do you say goodnight to an answering machine?" With a sound falling [...]
10-6 10. Alex Turner - “Stuck on the Puzzle” The frontman of Arctic Monkeys blew us away with his Submarine EP (equally fantastic film) and this track stood out as the most effective cautious tale of love between Oliver and Jordana. 9. Young Dreams - “Young Dreams” The Modular signed Norwegian ensemble took me by complete surprise of their uplifting, infectious, lo-fi tunes. This track, which comes complete with a video featuring two children losing their minds, has one of the most pleasing arrangements of [...]
In September we toasted the best new bands of 2011 . Bright futures for those guys! But come this time of year it's also important to remember the musical groups who called it a day. Some of these acts were taken from us before their time, while others imploded due to overwhelming apathy. Herewith our look at all of them, good and bad and who? . Thanks again to Matt Neatock for the video production assistance. Please hold your applause until the end. Read More...

Shit Robot: Answering Machine (Planningtorock Pizzo Remix)
Patrick and I can't stop raving about Planningtorock one of DFA's latest and greatest. They blew my mind with their last album W to the point of having "Living It Up" on repeat in my car for 2 weeks. The group has a very original sound which is accessible to a wide range of people. If you haven't checked them out please do me the solid. As per Shit Robot , he's also DFA family and really fun. Some of you may have caught him at Grand Central a couple of months ago, great show! [...]

Well today is our first anniversary and I’ve been a bit reminiscent. What started out as a simple idea on a bored night, one year ago, has turned into something that I truly love doing and am really passionate about. It’s got to a point where I care more about hearing about a new band emailing me to hear their music than getting a text. I’ve been able to make so many connections, meet new friends, and got to experience so many cool opportunities, Thank you for all of the continued support as I truly appreciate each and everyone of you for giving [...]
The prospect of Motor City Drum Ensemble doing the dirty on Shit Robot is pretty mouthwatering in itself... it does not disappoint! Little tip first though... make sure you're listening on good headphones as laptop speakers can't handle it. Had the pleasure of being in the raving mass for MCDE on the beach stage at Garden Festival this past summer... absolutely amazing set! Anyways... rave on! Shit Robot - Answering Machine (M.C.D.E. Remix) by DFA Records
Let's stick with angsty rockers, the American variety today. It's a bummer that people of a certain age will never truly emotionally connect with this song. Directing the full weight of pain and anger at, say, voicemail, just wouldn't capture the sense of distance or call out the machines that emphasize it. And maybe it's me being curmudgeonly, but I think a kid covering this today would sound like a petulant brat. Paul Westerberg got away with it because he's Paul Westerberg.

For past few decades, Chicago has kept the beats rocking with a bevy of house and techno talent. Young upstarts Santiago & Bushido are helping to lead the way with a dark infusion of old-school house and new-school electro. The duo, consisting of Chris Santiago and Tim Bush, first gained traction with a series of chart-topping releases, including their hit track Head Trick and a remix of Kaskade's massive Move For Me . Their biggest supporter has been Chicago-house legend Curtis Jones, most notably known as Green Velvet . Their new [...]
>> The news is going stale at this point, but we'd be remiss if we didn't mark the passing of beloved indie-pop luminaries The Answering Machine . The Manchester, England-based foursome posted a handwritten letter to its web site Monday morning disclosing that -- after six years -- its members have ceased making music collectively and under the The Answering Machine brand name. A vinyl release of the band's recently issued sophomore set Lifeline [ review here ] -- previously rumored to be announced this spring -- will now be realized as a [...]
Banda extremamente promissora e representante da atual cena independente de Manchester, na Inglaterra, o The Answering Machine anunciou hoje, através de comunicado oficial em seu site, o fim prematuro do grupo. Em uma carta, escrita à mão e publicada no Theansweringmachine.co.uk , o grupo, que lançou seu segundo álbum Lifeline em 2011 (veja nossa opinião sobre o disco aqui ), agradece o apoio de seus fãs e de sua gravadora e anuncia que não fará shows de despedida, porém, como ato final de sua carreira, relançará o álbum Lifeline em edição especial [...]

The Answering Machine have announced they're calling it a day. In a handwritten note (below), the Manchester five-piece say it hasn't been an easy decision for them, but that they've been "doing some soul searching" and have "decided to stop making music" in their current guise. Whilst there won't be a 'farewell tour' or 'last ever gig', the band will be releasing their second album 'Lifeline' on 12" vinyl. The record followed their 2009 debut 'Another City, Another Sorry'.
More mid-tempo, more introverted, more subdued, more, more, more. Lifeline , the sparkling sophomore set from Manchester, England-based indie pop phenoms The Answering Machine , is a world apart from the brash, barnstorming guitar anthems of the band's early singles and 2009 full-length Another City, Another Sorry . Instead, Lifeline is a startlingly mature record for such a young act; The Answering Machine , it seems, has (metaphorically) jumped straight from album one to album four. How much of this has to do with fronter Martin Colclough assuming the role of producer for this [...]
I usually don’t too many reviews here, but I just had to make an exception for the best band in the UK, (as well as the band who were featured in our first post ever) The Answering Machine’ s new album, LIfeline . Their debut record , Another City, Another Sorry is my favorite debut record all time. Easily. The youthful exuberance of the album, just encapsulates me and it’s one record that I can play every single day for the rest of my life an never get tired of it. For this second record, the band chose to self-produce to get, [...]
