While clearing out my review CDs and emails from the past year, I found this little overlooked gem from Big Scary's The Big Scary Four Seasons album. The music on the disc has a muffled, multi-voiced, Sufjanesque, indie pop-folk sound. The Big Scary - Autumn (mp3)* *mp3 hosted & posted w/ permission of band's PR [...]

The headache has come and gone all day, but I decided to get out and about anyway. I needed a blood test so the errand seemed perfect to add to the misery, but the day was so lovely and warm I'm glad I didn't miss it. Well, the lab was closed so Gracie and I went to one of my favorite places to shop, and I bought two Christmas presents. I felt accomplished. Thanksgiving was wonderful with great friends, the tastiest food and even a card game after dinner. My friend Clare made my favorite fall appetizer: a [...]

Одним осенним утром Галя Чикис села за электроорган и записала сольный альбом. На нём играет всего один инструмент и звучат пять песен, среди которых есть вальс, серьёзная песня о рыбах и лунном льде, игривая песня про кино и две разнохарактерны е инструментальны е композиции. Ключом к пониманию «Organic Compound» является некогда открывавшая мелодия «Утро», ставшая позже финальным занавесом. В первую очередь, это альбом о любви к звуку электрооргана, о простых, но завораживающих аранжировках, и о музыканте, который знает, что к шести утра всё начинает звучать иначе. Интересно, что прошлая композиция Гали Чикис, о который мы писали, также была посвящена утренней тематике – [...]
MY AUTUMN'S DONE COME, HONEY WARS ( Bunk Bar , 1028 SE Water) Honey Wars' first full-length record, I'd Be Amazed —which follows their 2008 EP, The City Made Me Do It —is a solid collection of good-time rock (in fact, there's even a song called "Good Times"). Their biggest, hookiest numbers display a spry guitar interplay that evokes the Knack and the Cars, while I'd Be Amazed also finds room for a couple easy-breezy ballads and some back-porch stomp. Meanwhile, My Autumn's Done Come named three songs on their brand-new record [...]
If you're a fan of Simon Bird and particularly his excellent V EP , you should know that Simon is running a Fundit campaign to raise money for a vinyl version of that EP. He's looking for €800 and he's over half way there already. The video abov...
We already knew that he made captivating music and now it seems as if Simon Bird is pretty handy when it comes to videos too. 'Stillborn In Autumn' collects footage filmed by his grandparents in the late '60s and turns it into something quite captivating. It comes from Bird's V EP (available here ) and don't forget you can see him for free at tomorrow night's State vs Quarter Inch Collective show at the Mercantile.

RBTQ 003 has finally made it from tape cassette to the internet. Dig in nerdz! Autumn C-Sides & Spaß Invaders by Robotique Philadelphia
I've been jamming this thing over and over again all week! It's the new, free-download 20-track compilation curated by Geoff Geis of his Vanity Projects labelmates and friends. Check it out here . Not only does this thing have TWO Michael Nhat collaborations, one of which with So Many Wizards, but it also has a response from Geis himself to Pearl Jam's "Jeremy," perhaps the best evocation of that song since Beavis and Butthead watched Death's "The Philosopher." There a lot of amazing things here, but I have to confess my [...]

I thought that the time was ripe for another post outlining a few things I've been particularly enjoying over the last few months as the summer leaves us and we make the inevitable move into winter; albums and tracks filled with cold sounds with occasional hints of warmth. At risk of confusing casual readers and making this sound like a food blog, I'll quickly move on to the music itself. One of Autumn's unexpected surprises has been Surkit Chamber: The Melding , the new album from underrated Detroit techno producer Reel [...]

Midterms finally came to an end; and when we collectively wandered bleary-eyed out of the depths of Lau, we realized autumn was upon us. Just as we began wrapping ourselves up in jackets and scarves and digging into our favorite pumpkin-flavored goodies, we found the leaves had changed and fallen and mid-November was here already. We were late for fall. But a few leaves are still clinging to the branches, and autumn's got at least one more weekend of clear blue skies and crisp temperatures left in it. WGTB suggests you savor it while you can, and we made you [...]
