You know when you're talking to a friend, and he or she doesn't quite "get" a certain band you like? And you say something like, "Oh, well, they're an acquired taste." Usually, this refers to the lead vocalist, someone like a Billy Corgan, whose proclivity towards singing with a nasal voice irks many a music fan. Enter Sam Mickens of The Dead Science popularity. Mickens' first solo album, Slay & Shake , is a producer's wet dream. There are drum machines, organs, harmonies, guitar solos overlapping each other, and all of these events take place during the [...]
As a current/former member of The Dead Science, Xiu Xiu, and Parenthetical Girls, Sam Mickens has been making music for years. Next week he'll start a new leg of his career with the release of his debut album, Slay & Slake and while the album's under his name, he'll hardly be going it alone. Slay & Slake is a concept album, with Mickens using the heartache of Love's Forever Changes and the social injustice of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On as inspiration. With Mickens [...]
Ace is the "wild guy in the group" who likes doing mad trickz on his bike, while "AZN Thunda" AKA Brett has a "hard exterior but a soft inside, just like mochi (being from Asia of course)". This is the bio provided of Teengirl Fantasy – actually consisting of Oberlin College students Nick Weiss and [...]
Some things bear worth repeating. Feu Thérèse is one of them, as I feel exposing their music right now would be dramatically more effective than it was in 2007, when I found myself gushing over their debut, Ça Va Cogner. They had apparently split that same year, but their permanent elusiveness had prevented anyone from [...]
Παλιού & Μελό γωνία, δε λέω, αλλά εγώ τις παλιές μου αγάπες δεν τις ξεχνώ. Διαβάζοντας στον brooklynvegan για την πρόσκληση σε μονομαχία για την καλύτερη soul μπάντα που απήθυνε στην Sharon Jones ο Sam Mickens ( The Dead Science ), παραθέτω το παρόν μέτριας ποιότητας video έτσι από νοσταλγία. Από τις αγαπημένες μου φωνές ever. Η Sharon δεν έχει προλάβει προς το παρόν να σηκώσει το γάντι λόγω ισλανδικού ηφαιστείου. Μεροληπτώ πάντως υπέρ του Mickens γιατί συμμερίζομαι [...]
Tutto è pronto per il successore di "End Titles... Stories for Film", album-non-album (era una raccolta di b-sides e inediti dal precedente "War Stories") del 2008 con cui gli UNKLE ci avevano lasciati in attesa di nuovo materiale. "Where Did The Night Fall" uscirà il prossimo 10 maggio e prevede, oltre alla presenza di James Lavelle e Steve Dub ai 'comandi', l'ormai consolidata carrellata di ospiti come è tradizione dei loro lavori in studio. Mark Lanegan , gli Sleepy Sun e i Black Angels, ma anche gli Autolux [...]

Ya soy realmente fan de Stereogum , día con día han venido posteando tantas listas que no me sorprendería en lo mas mínimo leer mañana la lista de "las mejores canciones del 2008 para escuchar en el WC", bueno esta bien, en realidad no, pero esta vez han publicado la lista de las 50 canciones en mp3 mas populares del 2008. La lista se hizo en función de la base de datos del servidor de Stereogum , es decir aquellos post que los editores hicieron enlazando a mp3 [...]

December is list-making season. And for us music journalists, it is a time to look back on scores of albums, reflect upon the music and recapitulate our favorites. But this year, just like the last, we took this opportunity to flip that tradition upside down, asking the artists that influenced us what influenced them. The prompt was not limited to albums that came out in 2008. Nat Baldwin Extra Life - Secular Works Kurt Weisman - Spiritual Sci-Fi The Dead Science - Villainaire Skeletons - Money [...]

Há algo de indefinível nos The Dead Science. Algo que nos leva a explorar mais e mais do seu trabalho, cada vez que os escutamos. E a cada audição, um ponto acima. Villainaire é o seu novo disco e provavelmente o melhor até data e será também o disco que poderá fazer justiça a esta grande banda ainda restrita aos circuitos musicais mais obscuros. Nos últimos anos, a banda tem vindo a receber maior atenção pelas suas actuações com os amigos e colaboradores Xiu Xiu e Frog Eyes. Em comum, têm uma sensibilidade avassaladora, que se reflecte tanto [...]
Photo Credit Thursday night has enough going on to fill an entire weekend. There is no shortage of shows to see, no matter what city you live in. The Electric Factory in Philly is hosting a huge show featuring the return of N.E.R.D. , out with a new album Seeing Sounds . Adding to the hip-hop flavor is Chicago rapper Common , who also recently released an album which has a few collaborations with Pharrell, so you may see an on-stage meeting. Opening the show is [...]
