Will you be Grizzly Bear's friend too? As the year draws to a close, it becomes more and more evident that the big guns have already fired. While the number of highly anticipated new albums has dropped precipitously - just compare to a month or two ago - there's still plenty of time for the sleepers to ease on in. Grizzly Bear's EP of covers and re-interpretations and Sigur Ros' dual EPs released on one disc will be at the top of the stack for many record buyers, [...]

Good Sunday, my loves. Thanks for making this the most heavily trafficked week ever (I think?). Almost 1,000 people a day? On this piece of shit page? Clearly these visits have nothing to do with my ability to spin a yarn or engage in intelligent culture critique. Whatever the reason, feel free to stop by anytime. You're all welcome. Except for the gays. I hope your weekends were fun. I slept all Friday night, but went to a raging house party last night. Silly times. Drunk as hell. I was fierce on the dance floor. Stop laughing. It [...]
I've been waiting for a follow up ever since Citay released their debut a couple of years back. The band make the move from Important to SC/Jagjaguwar imprint Dead Oceans and again grace us with a peaceful slice of folk/rock that carves a unique piece out of the 70's rock canon. Finding a nice niche among the softest and most acoustic heavy moments of Led Zeppelin and blending this with the clean electric leads, the band that started as Tim Green's (Fucking Champs) side project has grown legs and then some; the live band has expanded to include friends from [...]
CITAY-"Little Kingdom" Proggish hard rock in the tradition of Pink Floyd and early Black Sabbath by a band with two members who teach at San Francisco's School of Rock. The classic rock influence is all over this record, but the production by Tim Green (who also produced albums for Sleater-Kinney and The Melvins) has a definite alt-90s feel, which leads to an overall contemporary sound. Citay "Little Kingdom" THE NEW WHOLE USUALS-"No Name Sally." We don't traditionally write about singles here, but Me & The Machine Records [...]
Here's another little setlist that came together during this night's full moon ramble. As with Sunday's post, I first encountered most of these songs in early 2006. I actually posted a couple of them in this blog's youth but don't see that mattering much. The Capes (pic) Supergirls mp3 Tightly Wound mp3 The April Skies - Three Minute Singles mp3 - Two more terrific downloadables await you at
"Last week was like a year ago/ Five years, just like yesterday." In einem einzigen Lied schlagen Citay (wer ist das? wo kommen die her?) einen Bogen von Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Luna, Galaxie 500, Big Star rüber zu den Byrds. Hier wird nicht getanzt, hier wird nicht Tempo gemacht. Hier wird jedes Instrument sparsam eingesetzt und erstmal in die Echomaschine gejagt. Nur nichts überstürzen. Der perfekte Soundtrack für die Vorstadtwagenburg an einem Freitagabend im Herbst. mp3: Citay / First fantasy Ach, auch Band of horses [...]
Here are some of our best finds on bandsites, labelsites, promosites and magazines on the web this week. Twelve great tracks for you to enjoy! Citay - First Fantasy (from labelsite ) San Fransisco's Citay will release their second album "Little Kingdom" on the Dead Oceans label on November 6 , and this track is a taster of the new album. I love the fantastic psychedelic bass-groove and the vocals are a delight! Nightmare of You - I don't want to dance anymore (from spinner ) [...]

Not too be confused with 1990s, the Glaswegian band with a similar disdain for articles and apostrophes, 1900s are a seven member strong psych pop group from Chicago. Normally, I'm not one to advocate seven musicians doing the job that three or four could handle admirably well. Whenever you have a band that rivals the size of a Canadian indie collective, there's always the danger that the song will get weighed down with extraneous noise. Not the case here. On the shuffling, hypnotic, "Two Ways," the added depth provided by a second guitar, harmonies, and [...]
