While I scroll my ipod looking for songs to put on, Bottom Of The Hudson always jumps off the screen at me. Naturally, I click in and choose my favorite song of theirs, ' Bee Hive ' (from 20072s Fantastic Hawk on Absolutely Kosher ). I miss this band and it reminds me of a time when I felt like every which way I turned, there was a new band or song that was blowing my mind. Not to say that 2010 doesn't have that vibe (and I'm sure in 2013 I'll be looking back to [...]
I guess it's the rain. I'm not hating on it like most of the natives here. There is definitely something about grey skies that makes songs like "Fantastic Hawk" perfectly fitting as a backing track to the mess that often become these days. Looped acoustic guitars, layered vocals, and an almost naive xylophone make this song perfect for gloomy mornings. Bottom of the Hudson - Fantastic Hawk
Well I have done this before and I am sure I will do it again. Let's see what a pretty damn good label has for us today - a little bit of a sampler of another provider of music...if you will. While I don't pretend to know all the artists on the AKR label (and I wouldn't exactly say they are considered "Slowcoustic") but there are certainly some interesting ones. An almost end to end "indie" presence if you will. What I mean by that is the fact that they [...]
The Decibel Tolls' Super Swingin' Mix is, like, a fuckton of MP3s in a single post focused on a particular genre or theme. The songs sequenced are meant to be listened to, ya know, as a mix. Hence, it's recommended that you enjoy each song in order without commercial interruption. So you should hit Apple + T (or Ctrl + T for you, egad, PC users) on that shit, throw some D's on that bitch, and keep the MP3s on this page rockin' whilst you browse whatever it is you browse on the Internets. Rotate [...]

Bottom of the Hudson have had to deal with unspeakable tragedy over the last couple of months after their tour van was involved in an accident and bassist Trevor Butler was killed. Drummer Greg Lytle was also seriously injured but thankfully is out of harms way. The bands label Absolutely Kosher has set up an appeal fund for Trevor's family and Greg's medical bills. You can make a donation here.

Ok, not technically...that was actually Monday last week. In any case, we were so busy that we missed it - but we'll make it up to you next year, we promise! It's been a successful year so far, helping spread the word about the bands we love and getting mentions on some of the outlets we look up to, like Idolator , Stereogum , and VH1's Best Week Ever ... Anyway, to celebrate we're reposting mp3s from the first 10 posts we made. Check it: Sweet [...]

Bottom of the Hudson - Bee Hive. Monday night I was flying home to Los Angeles from New Hampshire. I was surrounded on all sides by unaccompanied minors, which, after a relaxing weekend in the water, really shocked me back into reality. I put on the first record that I thought would do me right on the long haul across the country, and that was Bottom of the Hudson's Fantastic Hawk. I had no idea that they were suffering, or that bassist Trevor Butler had died. I'm told now that drummer Greg Lytle is recovering from his fractured skull. I...
DOWNLOAD: Bottom of the Hudson - Beehive (MP3) Philadelphia/Brooklyn band Bottom of the Hudson suffered a serious van wreck on Sunday, July 29th, while returning home after the final date of a short East Coast tour to promote their new album, Fantastic Hawk, released just two weeks ago on July 17. While on I-40 near Clinton, NC, a tire blew out sending the van out of control and flipping it multiple times. Bassist Trevor Butler was killed in the accident and drummer [...]
Bottom of the Hudson - "Rusty Zippers". We've never shared a meal, or had a conversation. I've never stood and watched them play their songs. Bottom of the Hudson were, and are, strangers to me. I cannot even name their members, without looking. On June 29th 2007, outside Clinton, North Carolina, one of the tires blew out in a van carrying Bottom of the Hudson across the I-40. Their bassist, Trevor Butler, died in the accident. Their drummer, Greg Lytle, is in intensive care. It seems tasteless to write a eulogy to a person you never knew. An obituary - [...]
So I heard this news today. Really sad to hear this. My thoughts go out to the band and their families in this difficult time. Bottom of The Hudson are a band from Brooklyn who I really wished I had gone and seen last week when they were on tour in Toronto. Transforming from a one-man recording project, Eli Simon (main writer and singer) recently recruited local Philly and NY brethren to complete a 5 piece line up making sure to include keyboards, air organs, clarinets, or whatever [...]
