Here is the second half of our festival playlist. I can't decide which day I'm more excited for. This will be my first time seeing Spoon, so I'm leaning towards Sunday. I don't know much about Os Mutantes, but I've only heard good things. Lets be honest, I'm basically excited for every second of this event. One week and counting... DAY 2 [mp3] Danielson - Ships the Majestic Suffix[mp3] Os Mutantes

Did I Step On Your Trumpet með Danielson er eitt af skemmtilegastu lögum ársins. Hingað til. Kannast lÃklega margir við það og svo sem ekkert nýtt. Platan Ships er æði og allt það. Um daginn fann ég remix af laginu sem var gefið út sem B hlið á I'm Slow but I'm Sloppy 7 tommunni. Platan var gefin út af anticon sem fæst aðallega við hip hop. Bara nokkuð vel heppnað remix ansi hreint. Sérstaklega lúðrasveitabyrjunin. [...]
Although I wouldn't currently classify myself as a geek or nerd (I did deserve both of those titles in high school though), I have to admit that lately I've been hooked on Sudoku puzzles. For those of you not familiar with them, check out the Sudoku website . Basicallly, they're number puzzles that don't require addition, subtraction, or even calculus to solve. Instead you must use logic and reasoning to fill in a grid with the numbers 1 through 9. The puzzle is a square that is divided into 9 larger boxes, with nine smaller boxes in each larger [...]
Alright. I'm done guest blogging over on extrawack . Time to get on with VT business. The best show of the summer at Higher Ground will be next Friday night - July 21st . Three good bands for $10 ($8 in advance). With the exception of the creme stand , that's the best deal you find. The first band at 8:00 will be Portland's (ME; not OR) Phantom Buffalo . It took a little while for these guys to grow on [...]
Danielson. Listening to a soulful, peaceful, sometimes motherly, sometimes fatherly Nina Simone on the way to The Conservatory provided a high contrast compared to the Danielson set. It was an energetic night. The opening band was It's Hysterical , who were enjoyable, but sounded too similar to the next band, a much better Student Film . Check out their music. I liked their being picked as opener's for Danielson. I missed Seth(y) playing in Student Film. And then, after an enjoyable nap between the first two [...]
So, all the other blogs are posting their Best of 2006 So Far lists. Well, I did put up my 20ish favorite songs of the year, and the albums I've been jamming (*cough* Pipettes *cough*) shouldn't be that hard to guess, but it has been a while since we looked back at the month (or two) that was. As always, I suggest you buy these direct from the labels, though you can purchase them from an online retailer or your local record store . May [...]
Once again MS.com seeks to mine tracks from the best albums, and rescue tracks from questionable ones, in service of creating an unstoppable time capsule of a season's worth of music. Spring time had its hits and its misses, but there was good to be had, friends. Let's take a second, as rainclouds and crippling humidity ruin our lives to remember the beautiful days we once loved and the soundtrack filling our ear buds as we loved them. We're taking a few days off to enjoy the extended weekend, celebrate our break up [...]
Play it: Danielson Ships Play it: Charalambides A Vintage Burden Play it: Vetiver To Find Me Gone (now find it gone in Rhapsody) There has been a recent flood of great freak folk (re: psych folk ) in the past few weeks making their way into the Rhapsody catalogue. Here's three that have caught my ear's attention. The [...]

Photo by Christiaan Palladino In all the hubbub about Sufjesus and his Incredible Leaking Record, there's a folk-pop disc out this week that might actually better The Avalanche - though Suffy does play on a few songs. Danielson's Ships is weird and beautiful, carried by near-orchestral arrangements and Daniel Smith's scratchy, almost-annoying voice. You'll learn to love it. The songs certainly deserve it, even though you'll probably catch yourself expecting to hear the voice of one Sufyawn Stevens every [...]
