Today seemed like a normal day as I woke up, went downstairs to make coffee and checked my email. But as with many mundane moments in life, things sometimes have a way of changing in a hurry. As I opened my semi-monthly email from David Bazan and read through all the living room shows I would never be able to attend because they were sold out instantly, I scrolled down a bit and saw this: "Some of you might be familiar with Will Johnson from his collaboration with Bazan in the Undertow Orchestra a [...]
Kenton Loewen is a Vancouver musician who works with the name The Crackling , but he might do well just to go with Dave Bazan Jr. I meanest this in the sincerest form of flattery, and also with the intent of letting you know how much we love both Bazan and our newly annointed Bazan Jr. Loewen, with help from various collaborators is set to release the Ashen EP on May 22nd, and you should expect to find some similarities to early [...]
Pedro the Lion's David Bazan is invited to sing over the instrumental for the Deerhoof track "No One Asked to Dance," reworking it into a slightly different version. The original track comes from Deerhoof vs. Evil .
Last time Dave Bazan (formerly of Pedro the Lion ) came and played a house show for me, it was a piercing, thoughtful, riveting evening. I compared it to my very first house show I saw with Joe Pug , and how the intimacy was borderline overwhelming. I wrote: "I still feel this way about house shows, and now even moreso after seeing David Bazan lay bare everyone and everything in that room with just his voice and guitar. As I sat there listening to his songs that [...]
Apparently, Bonnaroo wasn't the only one having trouble with their site this week! Please excuse our tardiness on this weeks Throwback Tuesday …. At any rate, pushing back David Bazan (formerly of Pedro The Lion ) to next weeks installment would be robbing you all of the honesty this man offers through his music, especially on "Hard To Be" off of Curse Your Brances (2009); so better late than never. At 6:24 in length, especially considering that this is his debut as a solo [...]
It's stuff like this that keeps me blogging, or at least makes me feel like what I'm sharing is important. Deerhoof ft. Dave Bazan, renamed "No One Asked Bazan To Dance" along with a B Side called "Gas and Matches" from Headphones. It's available in limited quantity as a translucent blue vinyl that you can buy here. I just bought mine! Excited to see him on March 15th in Buffalo with my pal, Billy. I'm driving all the way to Lockport for this. Listen to the track below. Deerhoof (feat. David Bazan) [...]
David Bazan - Gas and Matches For all its bravura, John Fairfax's seafaring almost pales beside his earlier ventures. Footloose and handsome, he was a flesh-and-blood character out of Graham Greene, with more than a dash of Hemingway and Ian Fleming shaken in. At 9, he settled a dispute with a pistol. At 13, he lit out for the Amazon jungle. At 20, he attempted suicide-by-jaguar. Afterward he was apprenticed to a pirate. To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed [...]
The Making Noise posts were set up to share music that I've been listening to. Today's post is a bit different as it previews some music that I will be seeing (and hearing) over the next five days. First up is Miracle Parade with the premier of the Hark! String Quartet & Choir . This show is tonight, February 17th at the Echo in Los Angeles . Other performers playing are Neutral ukulele Hotel, Michael Epstein Memorial Library and Golden Bloom. Above is the video of "The Dying Physicist" from Miracle Parade's album [...]
Mint Julep launches "I Never Wanted You" into the atmosphere with their beautiful cover of Headphones' seminal track. The Portland husband-wife duo creates subtle tension in the track with singer Hollie Kenniff's unaffected, soft vocals and bubbling instrumentation. Lyrically, it is an angry anthem for your ex with lines like "Baby, I was faking the whole time." Kenniff's detached singing style stands in contrast with the words, creating an interesting dynamic with the song's biting nature. I've been listening to this on repeat for the past few hours, so maybe you should give it a listen. [...]
T Carl Ives has been gracing our local stages here in Eau Claire for the better part of the last decade. Last Saturday, he took the stage for the last time as the lead singer of Meridene (it was incredible!) but Trevor has new projects upcoming and is by no means disappearing from our local music scene. Phew! So keep an eye out for Trevor's new project(s) as we head further into 2012, and in the meantime, check out Mr. Ives' list of his favorite albums of 2011. Fucked Up [...]
Our man Flater may have left the Chippewa Valley for the 24/7 combination rave/orgy that is Chicago, but his bread-making, rubberband-headband and basketball shorts-wearing spirit is still here, persisting in the hearts and retinas of all who knew him and suffered the chronic snow-blindness that came from looking in the general direction of his immodestly exposed and highly reflective (bright, bright white) legs. God protect his soul navigating the dingy corridors of that non-stop feast of Saturnalia that is the windy city, that suppurating gas bladder of festering urbania, where the pizza sauce scandalously rests ON TOP of the cheese. [...]

New music from Azealia Banks, Deerhoof (feat. David Bazan), The Dø and M.I.A.! That is a lot of great new music for one Single Serving. Thankfully, I think you can take it. What you waiting for: give 'em a play. Azealia Banks - Bambi Uhm, so the new Azealia Bank's track is mind-melting (and, uhm, very N.S.F.W.)! As it stands now, Banks only offers up only a brief, but fiery, rap in the center of the track surrounded by giggling and small talk-like narration, but Pitchfork reports [...]
By Alex Brenner Although I must say 2012 has been pretty good musically so far, I always find myself digging up some older records. When I say older I'm talking about late 902s and up, not the classics. Talking with fellow A-Lister Rube, the other night we did a little reminiscing and it got me thinking about some great records of the past. The ones where you say "Oh man, I have not heard that in forever!" I do listen to tons of new music too, however, these are some you may have forgotten about or [...]

Agora é a vez de outro elogiado artista, David Bazan , reinventar o trabalho do Deerhoof , com uma versão da faixa No One Asked To Dance , presente originalmente no álbum Deerhoof vs. Evil , de [...]
