"Thinking back at it now, those few minutes actually played a pinnacle role in shaping my musical taste."
![[Album Review] – The Vines – "Future Primitive"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3603410_lg.jpg)
Tweet When a band you used to like takes a creative nosedive, it's never fun to watch. I was a fan of The Vines after their debut album "Highly Evolved", and even if Pitchfork rejected the band outright, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of "Get Free" or "In the Jungle" as fun songs when I was just starting to get into modern rock music. Their follow-up "Winning Days" has some bright spots, but was a rehash of outtakes from their debut, and [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – JEFF The Brotherhood – "We Are The Champions"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3546712_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl | MP3 | CD Let's give credit where credit is due. With some rare exceptions - and some great reissue reviews - Pitchfork has strayed away from some of the wonderfully insightful commentary that made the site as influential as it is today, but they get things right a lot of the time. In this case, it's pinpointing just what the [...]
New York and LA are the entertainment capitals of the world. Regardless of what your personal feelings are for those two cities, there's no denying that they are responsible for the vast majority of blockbuster movies and successful rock bands. They also churn out a sizeable portion of the the country's rappers, visual artists and dancers. But this is a great big country, with a lot of people spread across a great big land mass. And while a lot of the cool kids flock to the coasts to start bands and chase the Hollywood dream, there are still [...]

Okay, this isn't going to be strictly punk, more like heavy indie. But it's good and if you are so inclined you can always hit people in time with the pumping guitars. The first band I'm going to put up are one of my old favourites. I was lucky enough to see them before they broke up a couple of years ago and, while it wasn't the greatest gig I've ever seen, it was sweet to see them after they'd announced they were calling it a day. Be Your Own Pet - Fire Department [...]
Earlier in the year, when Turbo Fruits played The Vollrath here in Indianapolis, lead singer Jonas Stein revealed to me his hope to release a series of 73's next year. He made good on the start of that idea much earlier than I expected. A few weeks back, when they showed up to play an MOKB Presents / Butler Scion Free Thursday show, he put a new 73, released by the band's own Turbo Time Records , in my hands. It was actually the third 73 [...]

Teeming with as much exuberant enthusiasm as Operator Please hitting legal drinking age thrashing about amongst broken bottles of Bud on the barroom floor, Toronto's Modern Superstitions are infantile enough to get you knocking years off your age in order to surreptitiously sneak into Underage Festival. Tearing through six tracks oozing undying urgency and an avid major key infatuation, the adolescent trio comprised of Nyssa, Matthew and Harry purvey a musical passion far beyond their years, as Everything That Is Not Mine flits between Shangri-Las harmonies and vehement CBGB punk screech, whilst Visions Of [...]
Sixty Watt Bayonets From: Reading / Kingston, United Kingdom Sixty Watt Bayonets come storming out of Reading with 'I Want To Be Your Girlfriend' a refreshing blast of old school new wave. Clocking in at just over two minutes, mathematically proven to be the perfect length for a single, it's got more energy than a Duracell bunny convention. It sounds like someone stapled Beth Ditto's lungs to the best bits of The [...]
In this, the latest of my podcast series, I present to you a podcast you can run for half an hour to. Well about 28 minutes to be exact. But none the less, since I had a bout of running earlier this year which I should really get back into, I've faced the pressure to find a good playlist to run to. This is the summation of that work. Or in fact merely the beginning. I'll probably expand my personal mix to around about an hour or so long. Because half of an hour is a pansy workout! Listen now [...]
Music video for "Mama's Mad Cos I Fried My Brain" by the Turbo Fruits from the band's 2009 release, "Echo Kid."
be your own PET - Adventure In Spain, my chest, then free from the spoil of creeping hair, slowly sizzled under a mesmeric sun. That night I read Animal Farm twice as cubes of ice melted upon my chest. In Turkey, I first experienced how persuasive emanating Mosque calls could be. How truly beautiful they could be. The mornings after I witnessed how moving, too. In England, I travelled in [...]
It's been a while since I last mentioned the great music to be featured in director Edgar Wright's upcoming movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and there have been a slew of updates to that end in the meantime, so let's recap: Original score contributors include Beck, Broken Social Scene, Cornelius, Metric, Dan The Automator, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Kid Koala, and composer/arranger David Campbell (Beck's father). And those are only the artists providing new music for the film. Previously recorded songs by the likes of Spoon, Neko Case, Uncle Tupelo, and others are rumored [...]

The Republic Tigers mp3: The Nerve [The Republic Tigers] myspace Joss Stone What a voice. I'm a big fan of the strong, jazzy voices and in my book, Joss Stone is a vocal pundit. She definitely lands on my list of favorite singers (along with James Morrison, etc.). But can we forgive her for being in the 2006 dragon movie "Eragon"? What were YOU thinking, Joss? [...]
