David Bazan , former frontman for the now-defunct (and still so great) Pedro the Lion , has signed to Barsuk Records . If you remember, David self-released his debut solo EP Fewer Moving Parts in June of last year (although digital versions were released through Jade Tree Records), and Barsuk will be re-releasing it soon. It's a 10-track EP, but that's because there are five songs and then acoustic versions of those five songs. David is currently on tour with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab fame and [...]
The Hartford Courant's Sound Check blog gives props to Thunderegg for putting out a song a week in 2005,a year before Jonathan Coulton did the same thing (and was lauded for his project in the New York Times magazine last Sunday). Thunderegg : "If I Went on a Diet" [mp3] @myspace | other music blog posts: @lhb @hype @elbo.ws [...]

Bazan, who was recently named #85 in Paste Magazine's Top 100 Living Songwriters, is currently on tour opening for Ben Gibbard [...]

Well, here we go. I've never been so unsure about a year end list in the three years I've been doing this blog. Nothing blew me away this year to make my decision for the number one album easy. My top five albums could all be number one, so as you read this list, think of it more as the higher on the list the albums are, the better. Not necessarily that album 15 on the list was 15th best in my mind. 50. Proud Simon - Shoestring Universe [...]
Posting some of my favorite shows has been quite satisfying for me this week, so in keeping with the Holiday Spirit (5 days left until Christmas Eve!) here are some live Christmas goods.

If you are a big fan of everything Pedro the Lion like I am you probably are well aware of the new EP from David Bazan "Fewer Moving Parts". So that is obviously what David has been up to since Pedro the Lion parted ways, but what about the other half of the PTL, drummer and sometimes vocalists TW Walsh? Well, it turns out Mr. Walsh is fronting an excellent little band called The Soft Drugs . The Soft Drugs released an EP titled "In Moderation" earlier this summer and its really a instantly [...]
My boy Greg sent me this song. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been released in the U.S., and I'm not sure if/when it will be. But he assures me it's a "banger", and since he's the DJ, we'll take his word for it. I just love the urgency of the track, as Cassius seems afraid that their 2:48 is going to run out before they cram everything they want in there. Plus, "toop toop" is fun to sing...I'm hoping it becomes an international catch phrase. Probably not the best song choice for a [...]
It's the heat, man. It makes it hard to blog when it's so hot outside. I start sweating just looking at the keyboard, then the little computer fan comes on and I'll I can think of is cold beer and mojitos, so it's pretty much over at that point. But with a nice cooling trend on the horizon here in the bay area I think I can force out a post. I know a lot of mp3 blogs have been hitting up the new David Bazan so I'm not breaking any new ground here. [...]
Totally random note: lipstick on blogs is the new hip thing, apparently (like last summer it was wolves in bands): there's websites with Lipstick in the title popping up all over. There's Lipstick is My Crack , a fashion blog, and The Lipstick of Noise , a music blog, and The Days & Nights of a Lipstick Librarian , which is about what it sounds like it is. Therefore, eMusic is my lipstick. Because I said so. But really the point of this is that eMusic is rockin' my world more [...]
David Bazan, Fewer Moving Parts David Bazan (aka Pedro the Lion) continues to make music but now under his own name and under his own roof. Bazan returns to his home studio where he will record everything himself, but he is not going backwards by any means. Instead he moves forward by incorporating multi-tracked guitars, layers of harmonious sound, and intricate piecing with his unique lyrics
David Bazan, creative genius behind the totally great Pedro the Lion, released an EP of solo work back in June called Fewer Moving Parts . It's comprised of 10 tracks. Well actually, it's 5 tracks, each recorded twice, once acoustically, and once with full instrumentation. It is highly recommended. Bazan will play a handful of live dates over the next several weeks, before beginning work on a full-length album that will be out on Jade Tree next year. Here's a couple of songs for your listening pleasure. The first track is "How I Remember" from [...]
I was never a huge Pedro The Lion fan, so David Bazan's excellent new EP finds me totally off guard. Fewer Moving Parts is a collection of five accessible, even poppy, slo-core dirges about familiar themes of control: women, drinking,...
