Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs (Atlantic) [mp3] Death Cab for Cutie - Long Division (Live in Seattle) Buy it at Insound After the vacation from guitar-rock that was 2005's Plans a lot of folks seemed downright scared to listen to Narrow Stairs , for fear that it would be a journey down a path they didn't want to see the seminole Indie Rock band of our time take. Their fears turned out to [...]

They are playing the Mercury Lounge tonight, but tomorrow night ( November 18 ) they'll be at The Bell House and I've got a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky reader who can tell me the name of a Will Johnson [...]

Fun Fun Fun Fest '08 One Helluva Recap - Day One At it's third year of age, Fun Fun Fun did not falter to the terrible threes. In fact, it shoved the number three in the face by giving us 2 days of music on 4 stages, none of which were trios - yes, not even the Golden Arm Trio was a threesome. Of the three major music festivals that grace this city, Fun Fun Fun Fest is undoubtedly the locals' "secret." Granted, it's a horribly [...]
Nearly one hundred of the world's most sought-after independent rock, punk, DJ, and hip hop musicians descended into the heart of Austin for the the third annual "anti-festival," the Fun Fun Fun Festival this past weeekend. Generally, one wouldn't expect a festival with a capacity of just 7,000, taking place in Waterloo Park among crisps temperatures ranging from 50 to 80 degrees, could hold its own in the age of the summer mega-festival, especially in the same town that offers ACL, but with four stages and literally no downtime between sets, Fun Fun Fun lived up to the [...]
I wrote the cover story this week in the RFT. It's centered around Magnolia Summer and the Undertow Collective, and how the principles are utilizing technological advances and industry smarts to fashi...

Cuando ya hace meses que se publicó Dual Hawks , compartido por los dos principales proyectos de Will Johnson, Centro-matic y South San Gabriel ), aparece este sencillo videoclip grabado en una sola secuencia con algunos sencillos efectos visuales. Una pieza intensa y breve de rock sin aspavientos. Enlace: Centro Matic saca video de Rat Patrol and DJ's Comparte esta anotación
Yep, it's a day for videos here at BFD. I posted about this vidie over at DC9 , but, I wanted to bring it to the fine people who read BFD everyday. (I know who you are, and I love the Baptist Covention.) But, I really, really dig this video. I think it's great how Will and the boys did their hometown of Denton up right and featured Dan's Silverleaf in it. And, I do think visually it's a great video. I dig the colors, I dig the animation, I dig the fact that Will Johnson isn't actually singing [...]
Texas indie-alt-rock band Centro-matic has a new video out for a song called "Rat Patrol and DJs," and it was filmed right in front of Dan's Silverleaf in my old stomping ground of Denton, TX. read more
Speaking of Denton love , a couple of blogs have posted free downloads of some tracks from both Matthew and the Arrogant Sea 's upcoming and Centro-matic / South San Gabriel 's latest albums... Really, you should have Dual Hawks , the Centro-matic/South San Gabreil split double-disc, already--what are you waiting for?--but, if by chance you don't, the blog It's Hard To Find A Friend is offering one song from each band (Centro-matic's "Two Seats Gold Reserved" and South San Gabriel's "When Will The Angels Put Out Their Lights") for free on its [...]

I guess Denton is officially Stereogum 's new favorite music town. In the last month or so alone, the site's covered Midlake, Centro-matic and a few others to boot . And, today, Stereogum premiered Centro-matic's new video for "Rat Patrols and DJs". Which, of course, was filmed outside of Denton's own Dan's Silverleaf . Check it out after the jump. According to Stereogum, the video was apparently shot in 16 takes with no edits made to the piece. If you watch [...]
Centro-matic - Rat Patrol and DJs from Undertow on Vimeo . Amazing what you can do with a long take, a lens filter and an animation budget. Anyone else get an oddly early '90s vibe here? The jam is from Centro-matic and South San Gabriel's excellent double album, Dual Hawks , out on Misra . Centro-matic - "I, The Kite": mp3
Our favorite Texans, Centro-matic , and their slightly larger, slightly more orchestral, and slightly more sensitive alter-ego South San Gabriel will hit the road for a few dates on the East Coast and Southeast. Besides being wonderful news for me, this is wonderful news for any of you in the cities below. Seriously, you better be there. Centro-matic 2008 Tour Dates Saturday 11/08 - Austin - Fun Fun Fun Fest (Stage 1 @ 1pm) * Tuesday 11/11 - St Louis - Off Broadway * [...]
