I've been in babyland for some time now, but it doesn't mean the flow of music piling into FSHQ has diminished. The one nice thing of holding a baby for hours is that you can listen to a lot on your Ipod. There are so many really excellent releases lining up for 2009 that I've been hearing and it's my first chance to call some of these out. First up, Portland's THE BUILDERS & THE BUTCHERS . I've tipped them quite a bit on how I think they should be [...]
>> And so here's your big Johnny Foreigner second album recording news. The band has wedged about three weeks of free-ish time between two tours in March, during which the Birmingham, England-based trio will begin recording its sophomore full-length with former Fudge Tunnel dude and British ex-pat Alex Newport, presumably in Brooklyn. Mr. Newport is known for producing or mixing music by Death Cab For Cutie , Rival Schools , Knapsack (hey, remember Knapsack ?), At The Drive-In , Piebald , The Melvins and Coco B's [...]
This year has been sentimental to look back on, and although we'd love to revel in what wer've discovered this year, in the great tradition of music, we must prey on what greatness is to come. The list below is a compilation of artists we've been following over this past year, have learned to love and feel their next move could be the one that will make the blogsphere go zonkers. Although if there was one group we could really have on this list, The Shout Out Louds, who have been speculated to come out with an album [...]
>> Big Science , the Chicago-based indie rock quartet featuring three guys named Jason (two of whom were formerly in San Diego-based post-hardcore act The North Atlantic ), will release its immaculate debut EP The Coast Of Nowhere Friday. We've been anticipating the collection since March , when the band first popped onto our radar with a handful of very impressive demos. The EP is already streaming at Big Science 's MySpace dojo here , and we recommend checking in and listening. The fully realized versions of "My Career As A Ghost" and [...]
Aloha readers. We've been sick this week. As a result, there's been a whole lotta nothin' here. And we're not in New York right now seeing Johnny Foreigner . And we're not up at Tufts seeing Ringo Deathstarr . All of which is a drag. But throughout our illness we have been sending a lot of updates out to our Twitter feed , so if you are not a follower, perhaps you should get with that . We'll be back Monday with items about The Video Nasties and The Answering Machine . And [...]
>> In our opinion there is a classic Slumberland sound. It relies on big guitars, upbeat rhythms and twee-leaning lyrics. Leading examples include Lilys ' terrifyingly good "Claire Hates Me," from the landmark record In The Presence Of Nothing , and just about any track from Rocketship 's similarly amazing A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness . You may now add to that list New York-based quartet The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart 's delightful new single "Everything With You" b/w "The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart," which Slumberland released -- [...]
So, I know this is a bit late. The problem was not so much lack of motivation or even lack of time as it was not quite knowing what to say. Even The Ledge firmly thinks I'm out of my mind about this gig. In any case, it all started off promisingly enough. We arrived early so we would be certain to catch The Bangs , who we very much enjoyed at Sacred Trinity Church back in February . They pretty much tick every one of our music-loving boxes being [...]
Tomatoes and corn and longer shadows. That's August to me. Here's #6 in this Summer series. Forgetting to bug any of my more artistic friends to make cover art, I did this one myself... and it shows.

Amigos, bom dia. Mês passado (Março), rolou mais um festival South by Southwest em Austin, Texas. O festival, segundo nossa querida Wikipedia, surgiu inicialmente como uma "batalha de bandas" (duas bandas competem uma com a outra pela aprovação do público, fato comum nos EUA). Isso faz 21 anos. Hoje, o festival, ainda dedicado à música independente (graças a deus!!!) já é o evento público mais rentável da cidade. Incluindo patrocínios da Dell, da cervejaria Miller, DirecTV e inclusive de uma fabricante de cigarros. Música [...]
>> Heretofore you probably had little idea what you would be doing April 14. Frankly neither did we, until we received an email this evening from Spoilt Victorian Child Records. You may recall the label issued the stunning debut EP from Texas-shoegaze behemoth Ringo Deathstarr last year. Well on the aforementioned date the rising label will issue Seb Roberts ' Exit Strategy . Mr. Roberts was born in Canada, has apparently lived and rocked in Baltimore, and now splits time between Hamburg, Germany and Japan. Along the way he's released nine records under almost as many [...]
>> Manchester, England-based indie pop wunderkinds The Answering Machine have posted a demo of the new track "Romantic And Square" for free download at its MySpace hacienda . The track doesn't stray too far from the dimensions of the band's prior gems, although the end jams out a bit and the entire track is graced by some sublime melodica. The tune is destined to be a hit, and it is perhaps even stronger than the incalculably catchy "Silent Hotels." We're very excited to hear what The Answering Machine does next, and we think the quartet expects to [...]

Today's Hotness: Thunder Power, The Answering Machine, Abbey Lounge
>> Keeping up with the Omaha/Saddle Creek indie rock scene seems complicated and difficult. Or at least it seems that way from a thousand miles away. So many projects, so much overlap in personnel, all of it makes our head spin, and as a result we don't really pay too much attention. However, there is a new EP out today titled Love Yourself released by an Omaha sextet called Thunder Power that certainly warrants consideration. The jewel of the EP's five fizzy pop tracks is "(Why Don't You Go) Take A Hike?" [video embedded above]. The [...]

Today's Hotness: Video Nasties, The Answering Machine, Johnny Foreigner
>> We truly have no idea what is going on with The Video Nasties ' new track, but we like it. The young, London-based quintet has just released a video -- embedded above -- for the song, "Have You Seen My Albatross?," which apparently is the lead track to a forthcoming EP; a full-length release is planned for next year. The opening of "Albatross" is raucous overdriven punk, and then there is a romantic confessional bridge that reminds us of the J. Geils Band 's 80's chart pop. And then the song ends. Abruptly. It's kind of brilliant. [...]

SxSW 2008 Diary: Saturday, March 15
Saturday: aka the day Bill met The Wall. Things started off okay, rolling out of bed around 10am and I made it downtown by 11:30 and after grabbing some breakfast tacos, headed over to the French Legation Museum for a Garden Party day show. Specifically, I was there to see Emmy the Great who is effortlessly charming even though most of her songs seem to deal with fairly depressing subject matter. I'd seen her in New York the night before I left for Austin [...]

All of ours have blown...
James Yuill says 'hi'. Either that, or he has some weird muscle thing that won't let him straighten his right arm. Whatever the case, he only has three fingers, and that's just freaky. Let's judge him. BUT. Let's not judge him for the finger thing, or even the arm doodah. Nope. Let's judge him based on his remix of The Answering Machine's track 'Lightbulbs'. I'm judging him nicely, how about you
