"Rock, country, folk, and silliness," plus a heaping serving of smart, witty lyrics and catchy hooks.

Our friends at Pedestrian.TV landed a scoop-filled interview with father-son filmmakers David and Jordan Miller last night in Sydney, Australia, discussing their new film My Suicide , a "self-inflicted comedy" currently on the festival circuit, as well as their next project: a Daniel Johnston biopic. First off, My Suicide , which was scored by Tim Kasher (Cursive, The Good Life) with a few pieces by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, managed to get a Radiohead song approved for use by the band. "[W]hen Radiohead agreed everyone pretty much agreed," said [...]

I posted this track by Pheonix a couple of weeks back knowing it would fall subject to the remixery of many indie heads out there. Here is just a sample of the many remixes that have emerged since its release in March. I often think that indie bands that get overplayed through the remix circuit become one hit wonders but after reviewing some of their other tunes I hope they are privileged enough to stick around.

Some Girls "He's On Drugs Again" (Sardina cover) Years ago, I posted a live version of this cover that was cut off at the end. Alas, a studio version now exists and I'm happy to share it. To read about who Sardina, the original artist, is, check that old entry. Beware, however, as the links are likely now defunct. Luckily, the awesome Musical Family Tree has tons of Sardina tracks available for free download , [...]
