By Erin Routson When I was sixteen, a boyfriend who was leaving for college made me a mix tape with Dashboard Confessional's "Age Six Racer" on it. His expression was earnest and correct: "Hey thanks, thanks for that summer" would echo in my head repeatedly when he moved away. That was what we used music for when we had just gotten our driver's licenses and fumbled around each other's bodies awkwardly any time we were alone. Instead of saying things out loud, or forming our own [...]

Join the Digsters tomorrow night at Pianos for a killer line-up featuring Brooklyn heroes Snowmine and Via Audio , the lovely voice of Sea Of Bees , and friend of the Dig, Beat Radio . Hit the jump for a little sneak peak of each band.
I didn't watch the Super Bowl yesterday mainly because I saw the same matchup four years ago and didn't want to relive that day again. Except, when it boils down to it, I basically did. It was like a case of Deja Vu. There I was in the same grocery store buying that same wagon full of Dr. Pepper and month supply of tortilla chips. Fast forward a few hours and I was standing in front of the same oven monkeying around with pizza and kale chips. At game time I sat down in front of the same television and [...]

It's been awhile since we last heard from our friends Beat Radio out of the NYC area. They dropped us a line the other day and sent us links to a new EP entitled Hard Times Go, Part 1 which is available to stream and download for free over on bandcamp . It features this poppy number "Dreaming Wide Awake" and 5 other similar tunes filled with catchy beats. Download: Beat Radio - Dreaming Wide Awake [MP3]

The first time beat radio's Brian Sendrowitz sings, "I made you a mixtape/okay, it's not a tape at all", you believe him. It's a dead technology. Probably no one you know has made a real compliation tape in going on two decades, a memory that you, like me, might keep alive by calling CDs, even playlists or zip files sent to girls far away, "mixtapes", even if it means lying to the last three
It's funny how much time you spend as a teenager wanting to grow up, and how much time spend grown up wishing you could go back to a those now seemingly-simple years. I know, I know, a cliche statement that I normally wouldn't write if it didn't seem so true. Thus it comes as no surprise at how bittersweet a song encapsulating everything wonderful and shitty about those years can be- especially one as well crafted as Beat Radio's "Teenage Anthem For The Drunken Boat". The song immediately pulls at your heart-strings with a glistening guitar riff and lyrics about [...]
Beat Radio - Teenage Anthem For A Drunken Boat Our friends in the great band Beat Radio are putting together a compilation of some songs they've released via website and blog over the past couple years. Teenage Anthems is available on limited edition, handmade CD or as a digital download. If the title track "Teenage Anthem For The Drunken Boat" doesn't get you to shell out for the whole album, I think we're going to have to break up. It's not me, it's you.
So, we missed this one earlier, but now we get to share a track from indie poppers Beat Radio 3rd LP, Golden Age . As you may or may not already know, the band put together a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund a limited edition 123 translucent gold vinyl pressing for Golden Age via the band's Awkward For Life label. Here is track number three from said LP. Listen. Downloadable: The Eternals (mp3) You can check out the latest Beat Radio [...]

All Time Top 5 is an extension of our feature for the Paper Crane Collective where we compile music lists on various subjects. Here on our main site, we outsource the work, and allow some of our favorite artists to create lists and commentary based on a topic we provide. Once we add in the music it magically becomes an artist-curated mixtape list. What more could you want? We're very happy to kick off the All Time Top 5 feature with Brian Sendrowitz of the great band Beat [...]

NY based indie rockers Beat Radio have released a new single Beautiful One. It's short, sweet, bouncy, with just the right amount of fuzz. You can also stream and or purchase their latest LP Golden Age (available on gold vinyl, which is pretty rad) over on their Bandcamp page. Give Beautiful One a spin below. Beat Radio; Beautiful One
On the East Side of Gainesville there is a salad (and pizza) worth traveling for. Trust me, we have. Our latest trek, a minor one compared to most, was sixty miles straight across Route 24 dodging small towns soliciting boiled peanuts and Domino's pizza drivers. This time, as I savored the salad, I began envisioning my own version. Friday, after work, I brought those visions to life. Lightning Sholay Sallet ( printable version ) For the salad: -30 ounces mixed [...]
