Wether you want to believe or you are forced to believe ghosts may be real. People like to think that this is not it. Meaning there is something in-between life and death. We won't know though until the end and we don't want to be caught there. Here's some songs about ghosts for this months Halloween theme. Enjoy! Songs about ghosts: Ghost Police MP3 by New Animal from s/t (2011) Ghost Movement MP3 by Dax Riggs from We Sing of Only Blood [...]

[Photos by acidjack] Going on first is never easy, so I was pleasantly surprised to see such a crowd out for Black Wine. Opening the Don Giovanni Records showcase last month at Music Hall of Williamsburg, the band played their opening slot with massive enthusiasm that was rewarded with a rapidly growing crowd. They also had a bit of an advantage. With a sometimes-melodic punk sound (an oxymoron people used to rationalize with the word "emo", which I'll opt not to) that suggests echoes of the members' most recent engagements in the New Brunswick, NJ scene - For [...]
SINGLES: Every month we look in our inbox and wonder what sort of banal crap are we going to have to weed through now. Every once in awhile we go down the nostalgia road and try and relate with the things that are burned like ancient meaningless wall graffiti into our ears. On first listen of Sadie Dupuis's band Speedy Ortiz we knew something was up when we heard the guitar tones. This short road led to a mecca of influences and opened right up. Not all the music we get seems to be inspired or takes [...]
We won't call out some of the obvious one's in this playlist but we will say this weather channel business is really put the scare in the upper North East. The sheer scale of it has people literally running for the hills to seek higher ground. Anyway this play list goes out to user @daanvanrossum because he asked me what was on my Hurricane playlist and i just told him I daho's You Were A Dick was a good rain record and walked away. That was sort of rude but I told him I'd work on [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: There are a lot of fuzz-o-gistics going on with Black Wine's Summer of Indifference from their familiar So Cals sounds at times that are mixed with some Mission of Burma and then there are these epic zen-arcadian moments that just rip up the planks. There are also dark pop gems like "Maycrowing" with Miranda their drummer singing who's narrative like storytelling style evens out the Milo-esque keel in this vessel. In earnest all the vocal melodies drive this underground popish outfit. It's a very fine roast [...]
