Until I witnessed its incredibly sensitive yet thoroughly dynamic performance backing the legendary Daniel Johnston at the Middle of the Map festival in 2011, I dismissed Capybara as an irredeemably slight ensemble. Cute and cuddly aren't qualities I admire in a rock band. I'd written Capybara off as soft. Capybara's ability to inspire the best Johnston performance I've witnessed changed my perception of the band. That explains why I'm so uncharacteristically smitten by Dave Drusky , the Kansas City band's new album. The delightfully disorienting [...]

Mark Lanegan's Blues Funeral comes out today, and if you couldn't tell how excited we were to feature an exclusive album preview this past week and you somehow thrilled we were to host the Mark Lanegan Band live this morning from the Cutting Room Studios in NYC, go back and listen to the performance again later today on our Live Performances Archive and you can practically hear John Richards' head explode when Mark calls him "bro." Awesome. Though Mark Lanegan lives in sunnier southern climes now, he's definitely a legend of Northwest [...]

After a week away, it was nice to be back in the studio. This week I played several folk-related tunes, a few garage-based ones, and a small handful of indie pop tracks. With the amount of indie-folk I've played of late, I'm thinking we're in store for another dreamy mix and maybe even a garage rock mix in the near future. Andi and I have been on a DIY kick of late and a recent project has been homemade laundry detergent. With the three ingredients displayed in the photo above, along [...]

An "aural wonderland treat" is probably the best way to describe the shimmering goodness Kansas City-based four-piece Capybara pull off on latest track "Neighbor Crimes". Don't believe us? Slap on a pair of high-quality headphones, press play and within seconds of being immersed in the song's heavenly escape of hazed-over male harmonies that drift by with gorgeous weightlessness and a sunny indie pop churn in which every new instrumental element adds another shade of depth to the fantasy suburbia they're sonically illustrating, and you'll definitely co-sign the hype. [...]
I sometimes find the diversity of my own musical tastes a bit bizarre. Just as apt to toss a classic jazz album like Kind of Blue onto the record player, I too have no qualms listening to the loudest of garage rock then switching over to something a bit folky. Especially if it's fringe folk; artists that pack their folk-pop with instruments, take on an old-timey sound, or even head down an art-folk, freak folk, or experimental folk path. Capybara finds themselves among [...]
It is a conundrum that many 18 - __'s are having these days, the critical decision of taking the path of "the job" and stability: paying your bills on time, calming the worries of kin, ultimately getting married, having non-televised rugrats, maybe a vacation to Florida once in a while to mix it up a bit. Through door B are your passions, whether that may be art, a carpentry business you always wanted to start, a trip around the world. But along with these lust for life ideals, one will find a storm of social and financial risk that makes [...]

I wasn't originally planning on doing a show this evening, but decided to take my normal spot behind the microphone anyway. So the playlist didn't begin coming together until the evening of. There was no theme, it was all variety; folk to electronic to noise rock. If you missed it, here's the list: "The Crystal Cat" by Dan Deacon by Spiderman Of The Rings "A Dark God Heart" by Sleep Party People off We Were Drifting On A Sad Song [...]
Monday, January 23, 2012 Today's Quick Mention: There's not many shows going on tonight, so I recommend staying inside. Or, if you want, you could get out and see Haywire.

Enjoy. : Shearwater - You As You Were : When I mentioned the track Breaking The Yearlings I said I liked [...]
