We resume our reposts of the Blogophilia series this week with volumes 8 and 8.5. Why 8 and 8.5? Well, I mixed these at the same time, and the tracks came from the same collection of songs I reviewed. Calling one 8 and the other 9 didn't feel right. We've also had a 12.5, and recently a 26.5 for the same reason. Like volume 7, these two mixes really capture the summer spirit. Volume 8.5 has a throw in from an "oldie but goodie." Enjoy... Blogophilia Volume 8 [...]

While perusing the internets, I came across a song by Oax (pronounced Oaks) who we recently discovered opening for The Rosebuds last weekend . Digging a little deeper into the bio, it turns out that leading man Giorgio Angelini recently returned to Houston by way of NYC to pursue his master's degree after a long stint in the music game playing bass for The Rosebuds and Bishop Allen . After a short hiatus focusing on his degree, Angelini could stay away no longer and recorded a mostly solo album (mixed at Public Hi-Fi in [...]

![Mutual Appreciation [NXNE Film Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3525643_lg.jpg)
Ahhh, North By North-East , great to be enjoying you once again. Last year I didn't go to any NXNE shows because I didn't want to buy a pass and I was working at Second City most nights, but this year I've cleared my schedule, managed to grab a press pass, and am psyched to experience the awesomeness of the festival again. The first event guest Gold Soundz writer Assunta Allegiani and I checked out after we grabbed our press passes last night was an independant film called [...]
Washington - Remember when life was noisier? When dial-up Internet had a tone and analog clocks ticked and manual cameras clicked? Whether or not you remember, miss or never want to see those days again, chances are you will appreciate Bishop Allen ’s ode to the long-silent sound of the shutter in "Click click click click camera” on their album The Broken String album. The band’s song evokes a certain nostalgic feeling that is nicely counter-balanced by a lilting melody and lead singer Justin Rice’s calming, friendly voice. The premise is simple: a man ducks [...]
Sorry for the delay in posts we've been havin some technical difficulties lately and I finally was able to get a post off. This song by Bishop Allen (who I actually stumbled across thanks to the genius bar in itunes) has an upbeat poppy feel to it that always puts a smile on my face. The News from your Bed - Bishop Allen

![[MIX] A Burning Ear Christmas 2010 – Three Servings of Cheer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3056649_lg.jpg)
It's only a week until Christmas!! This years mix almost didn't happen because I thought I wouldn't have time to dig up good tracks but then they just started popping up and a lot of them were very cool. I grabbed the best and threw them together here for a holiday mix in three parts. First get funky with the dance party starters then slip into some original X-mas tunes by artists old and new and close it off with some reworked classics. I hope you all enjoy these jams and have yourselves a kick ass holiday season! [...]
Welcome to the Annual Vague Space Indie/Alternative Christmas Music Spectacular (TM). I was able to set aside my great urge to say "bah humbug" to this whole season this year and to get into the mood long enough for this post, so hopefully this will get you in the spirit if you are like me and saw Christmas lights glowing in your neighborhood the day after Thanksgiving and said "Are you fucking kidding me? Already?" Anyway, merry happy or something. Enjoy. Download Bishop Allen - "You'll Never Find My [...]
Thanks to Target's Christmas Gig . So very Christmas-y, yet these artists have their signature style all over the songs. Best Coast + Wavves - Got Something For You [ mp3 ] "hey baby I've got something for you and I wanna tell you but you'll have to wait" Bishop Allen - You'll Never Find My Christmas [ mp3 ] "you can look in the closet you can look under the bed" These are my [...]
Since Guuzbourg started an 'Alt Christmas' topic below, why not add a snotty shoegazer song (Best Coast ft. Wavves), a course in crooning anno 2010 (Little Isodore), some nerdy fun (Bishop Allen) and a melancholic slide guitar that makes The Perfect Gift (Natalie Hemby). And did I already mention Guster, Blackalicious, Darker My Love, Jenny O., Crystal Antlers, Little Jackie, Blazer Force, Coconut Records, The Pinker Tones and Ceci Bastida? They all reside at the best FREE xmas compilation of this year so far. Bishop Allen - You'll Never Find My Christmas [...]
It appears that Target (yes, the department store) is getting into the indie spirit this holiday season. The box store has teamed up with a bunch of musicians to release a free, downloadable holiday album . The compilation features songs from Guster , Jenny O. , Bishop Allen , and many more. The full track list is below, or you can just grab the thing from Target's website . The Christmas Gig track listing: 1. “Tiny Tree Christmas” by Guster [...]
Just like the Best Coast x Wavves song this one'll definitely make your holiday mix. Even better, you can download The Christmas Gig free from Target . You don't even have to shop there. Isn't that rad? Bishop Allen "You'll Never Find My Christmas" from The Christmas Gig • • • • RELATED : Jingle: Best Coast x Wavves Christmas Song for … Target?! 30 Rock: Tracy [...]
Deftones – Back to School Bisher war indiestreber ein Musikblog wie so viele andere. Das war schön und gut. Wir haben das immer gerne gemacht, aber es blieb nicht aus, dass wir insbesondere bei News, neuen Videos und dergleichen stets hinter den „Großen“ hinterherhinkten. Oder dass wir zwar jede Menge neue Musik besprachen, die wirklich guten Entdeckungen dann aber doch irgendwo anders besprochen wurden und wir erst relativ spät dran waren. Das war ja per se nicht schlimm. Aber irgendetwas sollte sich dann doch ändern. Wir hatten in [...]

Me reviewing my photo during Human Eye set, photo taken by John Bodnar , 2009 Today is Gigawave's three-year anniversary, which also marks the day that Turbo Fruits return to the Replay Lounge this year. Therefore, one of the songs off Echo Kid starts out the mix. I originally made this mix as a birthday present to myself, but it's been a hectic week so I kept forgetting to post it until now. A mish-mash of my favorite songs, songs relating to summer or partying, and songs relating to, well, aging. [...]
