Toronto - A few songs in to Wooden Shjips set at The Horseshoe, I remarked to a friend that it was the best thing I've seen since Hawkwind. Now obviously I've seen tons of great bands since, many just as good or perhaps even better, but nothing that had quite the same feel as when I caught the space rock masters in France last June . My friend was equally impressed, but less versed in Hawkwind, but my opinion was validated by some random guy outside who made the same comparison. They share a simlar vibe - spacey, droney, psych heavy [...]

A Kite and Its String created with Google Maps Featuring three large universities (UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, and Duke U.) and 10 other colleges and community colleges, the cities of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham form "The Triangle" area of North Carolina. For many years, the Triangle region has served as a hot bed for indie rock, and is often underrated when compared to the likes of Athens and Austin. Like these other southern university cities, the Triangle is famous for a confluence of music styles [...]

Some of you may ring in the new year on January 1, but I choose the first official Drake's Take of 2011 to kick off my celebrations. -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 01.11.11 The new releases for 2011 begins in earnest this week, and while there is nothing in the way of essential releases, there's plenty to stop and check out while we wait for the real motherlode to drop in two weeks.

Producer Mitch Easter has helmed two of my favorite albums: R.E.M.'s Murmers and Pavement's Brighten The Corners. He also helped engineer Wilco's Summerteeth. Are we on the same wavelength yet? Because Easter is back behind the wheel with Birds Of Avalon and their recently released self titled album. You may have seen the band underbilled with The Racontuers, The Flaming Lips, and Black Mountain among others. However, this may be the year for BoA, as we debut the song "Shadowy End", which closes out aforementioned self-titled release. Remember how we're done with surf [...]

With New Year's Eve looming, the good folks at Denmark Records are doing their bit by offering up a mighty nice collection of emergent southeastern electronic music, free of charge. DenFriends features 19 artists from the losing side of the Mason-Dixon line, and promises a blips and beats buffet that is "hazy, heavy, chilled-out, adderall-injected and sexually frustrated." And it's free . Most of the artists on DenFriends will be unfamiliar to the casual Yankee listener, but [...]
![Songs I slept on! [MP3s] Y La Bamba: "November" + Birds of Avalon: "Invasion"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3044779_lg.jpg)
Two completely different songs; two completely overlooked bands (at least on my end). We received an email with both of them, so I figure why not put them together? Sometimes we look for a specific sound in posts, but diversity never killed the cat. Y La Bamba - "November" [MP3] (Sweet female psych pop folk whatever. It's good.) MySpace Birds of Avalon - "Invasion" [MP3] (Sweeping guitars, grandiose hooks, old-school rock.) MySpace Share:
