The Wind-Up Birds are a UK pop-punk band, but it's clear that the definition of pop punk varies from continent to continent. Vocal delivery is definitely a touch different, which you'll easily notice-to me it recalls Art Brut in the way it's very matter of fact, almost spoken word. The group's just released their new album, The Land , and it's full of sharp and jagged guitar licks just like the one here. If you're a fan of bouncing punk rock, then this is going to be right up your [...]
The Neighbourhood Mixtape is a collection of newly-released songs by Toronto musicians. The mixtape is meant to celebrate Toronto's music culture and provide a forum to listen to and discover new local music. Every Sunday, I post a five-track mixtape (along with my own mini-reflections for each track) that you can download or stream as a soundtrack for the week. Track #1 : Town Ship , "Real Numbers" Town Ship's "Real Numbers" screeches with post-punk propulsion and floods [...]
I dare you to tell me this music by Archie Whitewater isn't perfect to study to. Come on, try me! So I'm probably in one of my last classes of my second year in University (yes this was written sleepy eyed last night), so please just appreciate it for what it is, calming and brilliant and a great way to just tune into whatever it is you're doing. This jazzy, Van Morrison like music from the 1970 eponymous album is just mindblowing in its musical arrangements, reminding me vocally of Van (the man) and [...]
I like to drive. Maybe that's why I don't mind living in LA. I'm comfortable in a car. It helps that I am consumed by wanderlust. I enjoy long drives to nowhere in particular. In fact, on two (and a half!) separate occasions I've been fortunate enough to drive cross-country. I always feel like Amelia Earhart or Charles Lindbergh when I take a lengthy solo drive, and no, it's not because I get so lost people claim I've disappeared, or because my baby was stolen out of his crib back in East Amwell, NJ. I don't even have [...]

Originally raced at SomaCow.com In this hour, we got a call in from listener Chrispy and he gave the run down of his um, run! He and Ross had this big challenge re who could do a 5k faster. Carter also called in and updated us on his cross country trek . He was in Austin this time. I've heard such great things about that town. And we gave Ross some belated birthday gifts. He would have gotten them on [...]
OH NO VS. NOW-AGAIN - CROSS COUNTRY Oh No vs. Now-Again is the producer/rapper/DJs take on the vast catalog of funk, soul and psychedelia contained in the Now-Again vaults. A total of 29 tracks. The collection is presented in a "mini LP" package which includes a thick cardboard "tip on" sleeve. This CD will not be repressed.

Cross Country - Just A Thought The Mud Hut
LAs finest and resident dj at Cinespace in Hollywood, Them Jeans hit us up with a new tune. A housey laidback ghettobass tune with some uk-bassline inspired wobbles and sampled vocals from hiphop crew UGK. We like it! Them Jeans - Cross Country (Yousendit) Them Jeans- Cross Country (sharebee)
Cross Country: Just A Thought Written and sung by Mitch Margo; also featuring Jay Siegel and Phil Margo (all formerly of The Tokens). From their self-titled LP . So autumnal.
This month's mix has posted for your listening pleasure, and I just had a realization: I should be double-posting mix tracks here every month, so that y'all aggregators can get at 'em, too. Durrr. Catbird December '07 Mix : Spook House - Clear Tigers Just A Thought - Cross Country Shine On - Air Waves [...]
Last week, I swung by the inimitable Popsheep , heard this song, and was so immediately into it that I leapt over to eBay and (luckily) managed to score a sealed vinyl copy. I am so incredibly happy that this sort of thing can still happen to me. ::: Cross Country - Just A Thought ::: Of course the catch here is that it's not a new record. Pretty damn old, actually: it's an obscure one-off release from 1973. At first, I [...]
This post is completely biographical. Start with the music: The Move - Chinatown I moved. I rediscovered the Split Ends LP by The Move while doing so. No irony was involved - I've simply matured and 4 years ago, when I picked up the record in Guelph, Ontario, I found it too heavy on the power pop for my harpsichord obsessed mind. Things change and a little guitar/bass/drum combo is all right with me. Don't worry, it's not like I worship the Who [...]
