Fense’s Radio Show: November 9, 2012

Nov 14, 2012, 8:00am Fensepost
Fense’s Radio Show: November 9, 2012 Last week I returned to the present with only a few throwbacks to the 90s toward the end of the show. The split digital/vinyl show featured new tracks from Sleeping Bag, The Babies, Sweater Girls, Gospel Claws, Suturee and Thunder Power. We also featured a few favorites since the year 2000 with tracks by The Anniversary, Tvärvägen and The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir. I'm excited for the show coming together for this Friday. It'll be a bit more electronic with several favorites from 2012 including Social Studies, Pure Bathing Culture, Purity [...]

Top 10 EP / Singles 2011 at Dying For Bad Music

Dec 15, 2011, 7:53am Dying for Bad Music Blog
Top 10 EP / Singles 2011 at Dying For Bad Music As everyone who runs a blog and thinks someone cares about the own taste/opinion, I compile a nerdy list of stuff that a) no one knows or b) everybody already talks about or c) just reflects personal taste and holds nothing innovative. So here we go with the EPs, Singles and shorties. No surprises I suppose... Album charts may follow, but it's a lot of work to put this together... We will see.

RSTB Premiere :: Christmas Island

Jul 22, 2011, 11:05am Raven Sings The Blues
RSTB Premiere :: Christmas Island With the exception of a few 7"s its been a while since RSTB faves Christmas Island had a release that we could really sink our teeth into (has it really been two years since Blackout Summer ?). So when Craig from Christmas Islands sent over this track and the announcemnt that the band is releasing a 12" on his own Volar Records (Dan Melchior, Fresh & Onlys, Beaters), needless to say we were pretty excited. The band's got the jangle intact but with a decidedly darker vein running through this one. The 12" will be available on the road [...]

No Title

Jun 3, 2011, 8:14am Raven Sings The Blues
No Title Christmas Island / Meth Teeth – Split 7" Christmas Island seems to float in and out of vision, coming back into consciousness just when we forget how good they are. The crew are back with their sunshine spiked take on the Flying Nun catalog and its still just as infectious as ever. Two cuts that walk the line between off kilter and scrappy indie pop. This one's actually been in the works for as long as we can remember, chocked up on Sacred Bones' release calendar before their 2009 album even hit the [...]

Grass Widow – Past Time (2010)

Dec 3, 2010, 4:10pm Obscure Sound
There are occasions in the girl group canon when the genre, so wholly given over to the ephemeral, will unwittingly create something briefly sublime. These moments are so fleeting that they often won't even encompass the entirety of the track. They flare up briefly, brilliantly, only to fall back into the pattern of immediate and temporary gratification they were created for...

First listen: Codebreaker - "Silver Lining"

Nov 22, 2010, 2:52pm THE CULTURE OF ME
The first song to be let loose from Codebreaker's upcoming Silver Lining EP (due out tomorrow), "Silver Lining" is more tried-and-true funky dance-rock music from the Australians. Featuring remixes by Joe Smooth as well as The Outrunners, the new effort is also a teaser for the early 2011 release of Codebreaker's full length The Space Chase [...]

Album of the Week: Christmas Island - Self-Titled 7"

Nov 12, 2010, 9:46am Citizen Insane
Album of the Week: Christmas Island - Self-Titled 7" Sometime in October last year, San Diego's Christmas Island released Blackout Summer , thier debut LP. A few weeks before, they released a two-track long single. This is worth noting because Blackout Summer is b-grade lo-fi indie at best, but that first 7"? It's solid gold. "Nineteen" and "Twenty Nine" play-off each other incredibly well. One covers the frustrations of being young, dumb, and bored, while the other looks back and falls in love (I'll let you figure out which is which). The songs are tight, Beatlesque, garage-pop and the total listening [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Christmas Island, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Big Troubles, The Babies, and Family Trees at Glasslands

Sep 23, 2010, 2:12am The New York Rockmarket
Recommended Thursday Show: Christmas Island, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Big Troubles, The Babies, and Family Trees at Glasslands If you're not going to one of the big shows, like Pavement or LCD or one of the Merzbow shows this Thursday, you basically have two options.  Glasslands or Shea Stadium.  Glasslands eeked its way out as our recommended show of the day.  While Shea Stadium boasts Juan Wauters, Easter Vomit, and German Measles (plus a band called the Honey Dos, with whom my old band actually played a show in DC- they were ok), Glasslands has more bang for the buck, though the territory may be more well-tread.  Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, The Babies, Family Trees, and Big [...]

Phoenix and Wavves team up for more tour dates

When not inspiring Sophia Coppola films, Phoenix continue to tour the hell out of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix . When not filming music videos/dropping acid for Mountain Dew, Wavves continue to tour the hell out of King of the Beach . This fall, the two outfits will join forces to tour the hell out of their respective studio albums together. In addition to a previously announced October 20th gig at Madison Square Garden (which will also include Dirty Projectors), Phoenix and Wavves will [...]

New Surf

Jul 11, 2010, 6:43am MrBungle
New Surf Het lijkt zo makkelijk, de ontspannen sfeer van de zomervakantie, zon en strand te vangen in muziek. Maar met een vlindernetje kom je niet ver. Behalve warmte moet de muziek ook vrijheid, nonchalance en een beetje romantiek uitstralen. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat de bands in het voor de gelegenheid verzonnen genre new surf zich doorgaans bedienen van rommelige lo-fi punk of wave, vrolijke melodieën, soepele refreintjes en teksten opgetekend uit hitsige tienersmoeltjes. De band waar ik in de lente van 2009 al over schreef - Wavves - komt op het juiste [...]

Mixtape #3!

Jun 29, 2010, 12:00am Impose Magazine: Bytes
Mixtape #3! It's been hot, it's been sweaty, every band in the world is on tour, and I just got air conditioning for the first time in my adult life (so not punk). I guess that means it's summer, the best time ever to be young and free in New York City. Time to go to Rockaway Beach to look at the surfers and/or Coney Island to eat some Nathan's and pretend you're in some Neil Simon play. Most importantly, it's time to party party party party party! Well, that's the theme of this week's ...

HYPE FILTER: SXSW EDITION

Mar 19, 2010, 12:40pm Quiet Color
by kevin diamond This week on the Hype Filter , we have a quick survey of bands I've seen and look forward to catching while I'm in SXSW this weekend. If you know me at all, you can probably guess that these bands live in the dirty side of the pond. Lots of lo-fi goodness. Best part about these bands: I'll be seeing them all at unofficial showcases, most of which rival and tower over any of the official SXSW shows put together. Hope you [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Crystal Stilts, The Beets, Christmas Island, Beach Fossils, and German Measles at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Feb 20, 2010, 2:02am The New York Rockmarket
Recommended Saturday Show: Crystal Stilts, The Beets, Christmas Island, Beach Fossils, and German Measles at Music Hall of Williamsburg This show is part of the same Beets/Christmas Island/Beach Fossils tour that I blogged a whole bunch about last week.  Except this time they're playing at a much bigger venue with the addition of German Measles and Crystal Stilts, two very good additions if you ask me.  If you caught this show last time around, I'd probably suggest sitting this one out in favor of other Saturday night pursuits.  But if you missed it, all of these bands are a whole lot of fun.

Feb 11, 2010, 1:56am The New York Rockmarket
Photos: Beach Fossils, Christmas Island, and The Beets at Cake Shop I'm no Lester, but just this once, fuck it.  Cake Shop was filled with the local cast of regulars on Tuesday night.  I drifted down into the basement just as the first few flakes of this ridiculously overblown storm were beginning to fall outside, and was greeted by an already busy downstairs with the now-familair guitar waves of Total Slacker emanating from the monitors.  I didn't bother taking pictures of Total Slacker because I don't want them to think I'm stalking them; they just happen to keep playing with other really good bands.  It must be rubbing off; they seem [...]

Feb 9, 2010, 12:54am The New York Rockmarket
Recommended Tuesday Show: The Beets, Christmas Island, Beach Fossils, and Total Slacker at Cake Shop The Beets, Beach Fossils, and Total Slacker are all well-tread territory on this blog by now.  I like all three of them, and they're clawing their way out of the usual Brooklyn DIY venue (or Queens venue, as the case may be for The Beets) to play this show at Cake Shop.  It's Christmas Island, though, that makes this show extra worth going to, even if you've already seen the other bands a million times (even if you have, it will still be a fun show, and if you haven't, then four good reasons to go out on a Tuesday!).
