The Hotel Utah offers Beatbeat Whisper , Mia Riddle , Ari Vais and Moomaw this Friday (9pm, $6). I only wish I could offer a prediction of the evening's air, but most every band on this bill falls under a vast spectral energy of folk and Americana. For instance, I always have filed Moomaw under reverbial psych-folk, but he just as often wears the boots of a docile melody maker when performing solo. Regardless, it's up [...]
Grand Lake - "She's a Hater" This week's featured podcast band Grand Lake headlines a Deli SF -presented show this Thursday night at the El Rio that also features Beatbeat Whisper and The Heated . It's been a mixed week for Grand Lake, with the theft of their van and stage piano being an obvious low, but the release of their excellent new Sandusky Sunset cassingle worth celebrating. [...]
Sudden dilemmas, thrust upon you out of the blue, can have a certain awakening effect on you, if you choose to see them that way. Yesterday I received an e-mail which spurred my own dormant quandary. It came from a large commercial network which will remain unnamed, offering to add this blog to its lists in exchange for the placements of ads. I must admit, I was flattered (even though it was probably scripted and automatically sent). The offer has a very strong allure as it has the potential to expose the blog and its content to a [...]
I didn't have a blog last year, but i did have all these end-of-year lists, including the 2007 Young Talents list. I posted them on Last.fm . Now, i thought it would've been a fun idea to see whether i have good prophecying skills. To put it differently: how did those bands do this year? Did they live up to my expectations, or did they just sit on their lazy ass all time Well, lets's see! 9. Imadethismistake .. I've blogged about them before . As far as I know [...]
This week on the show, we're trying to love ourselves and hunt deer. How does the show go this week? Well, first we come out with guns a-blazin' with Thunder Power. Now, I realize they have a forceful name, but their music is very reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian: it's got an extremely catchy and whimsical feel to it. And speaking of Belle and Sebastian, we've got a couple of tracks from their upcoming BBC Sessions double album, too. Also, let's not forget that we're finishing up with some music from Deerhunter's latest LP, [...]
Who? Rachel Lipson What? Antifolk singersongwriter with a sweet voice Sounds like? Kimya Dawson but sweeter, Laura Gibson, BeatBeat Whisper I haven't checked it, but if i let my brain work and run through all the artists i've been bloggin about, i miss women. There was miss autopsy, who is not a woman but just calls himself one, and the wind whistles but that's partially man. So, Rachel Lipson. She has a website, but that hasn't been updated in [...]

Both Campo Bravo and Beatbeat Whisper are slowing down their touring and coming back from busy post-album affairs. Campo Bravo released Denver Lights & [...]
hey, gang, just a few additional points to add to the part 1 write up: obviously there have been too many bands involved in each of these posts to give each the deserved attention within the confines of this particular project; that said, many if not all do warrant - and likely will someday receive, fingers crossed and all that jazz - their own posts. in the meantime, consider yourselves officially encouraged to visit the bands' websites or to nose around in the archives of this site , which does a better job keeping us [...]
This is the songs I've been most obsessed with in 2007. I have been doing the song obsessions weekly series since nearly the beginning of this blog, giving me a good record of what I've been obsessed with this year. Most of them (click to see full list) were among mentioned previously in the song obsessions series but some were before that time and some were other peoples obsessions that I then became obsessed with or some were just slow-burning obsessions (if there can be such a thing). I'm not picking these songs; [...]
Digital Cloud's excellent "Firsts" compilation! I first heard about Digital Cloud Records a little while back through Megamoog – it is Megan's label, afterall – but I handn't heard anything more about the label until a few weeks ago when they proudly announced their "Firsts" compilation. The idea of the compilation was to get a bunch of great bands to submit songs about firsts, whatever the situation may be. The compilation features 17 exclusive songs from Lady Genius, The Fits, Lamb, teamAWESOME!, The Who Cares, captainmarmalade, So Futuristic, Little Naps, [...]
