Dino Jr @ Coachella 2013 ( more by Dana [distortion] Yavin ) As mentioned , DFA 1979 canceled their Governor's Ball appearance, and the afterparty they were to have played with Fucked Up at Irving Plaza on June 7.

No opener has been announced but tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM. [...]
Après la sortie de Bankrupt! il y a quelques jours, qui en a déçu quelques uns, mais qui nous, nous a carrément plu , plusieurs remixes du premier single, Entertainment , ont fait leur apparition sur la toile. Petite sélection dans ce 33ème Give Me Five . Entertainment | Phoenix (Dinosaur Jr Remix) Premier d'entre eux (qu'on peut difficilement qualifier de remix en réalité, on devrait plutôt, contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, parler de cover ), celui de [...]

Baby Nelson & the Philistines en vivo en el festival Nrmal 2013 / Foto: Daniel Patlán Por: @folkmetender Durante el festival Nrmal en Monterrey conocí a Alonso , de quién ya me había hablado un amigo que tenemos en común. Alonso es de Guadalajara y tiene síndrome de personalidad múltiple: divide su tiempo entre trabajar en una oficina donde le pagan por hora, desgarrarse la garganta en la banda de post-hardcore Bocanegra (de quienes hablaré en otra ocasión) y hacer canciones de garage adolescente con su [...]

"Hexxy" made its first appearance as the opening track on Speedy Ortiz's debut release, The Death of Speedy Ortiz . Back then it was called "Hexxy Sadie" (a particularly witty Beatles reference—the lead singer's name is Sadie) and it was a lo-fi bedroom recording with sloppy and distant drums and poorly recorded vocals. It was awesome back then and it is still awesome now, with Justin Pizzoferrato's (Chelsea Light Moving, Dinosaur Jr.) engineering. The song still has teeth but now they're sharpened to a point. "Hexxy" is the B-side to their just released 7-inch which also includes "Ka-Prow!". Get it [...]
Boston ensemble Slowdim immediately strike me as the sorts who could quite conceivably become the kind of cult band cherished by legions of steadfast alternative music acolytes worldwide, were they only afforded vertiginous enough a platform. Needless to say we can't provide that pedestal, but we can give 'em something of a slight leg up in the meanwhile as they continue to optimistically "paddle upstream." Whether headed for the mainstream or other, more boggy patches Up Stream is a positive tour de force in jingly indie jangle, Paul Sentz' lax delivery redolent of Lou Barlow's better bits from [...]

By Kenny McMurtrie May 01, 2013 The Primavera Sound festival has been around for over a decade in Barcelona and is now in its second year in Porto. Offering a consistently high level of acts from around the world it is also an important platform for acts from Spain, Portugal and Latin American countries, proof of which is seen this year with such acts as Blur, Bob Mould, Dinosaur Jr., Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Woods rubbing shoulders with The Suicide [...]

DIRTY PROJECTORS aren’t the first name that come to mind when you think of remixes but their new take on Phoenix ’s ‘Entertainment’ brings a chilled, fresh mood to the electro-rock original. The remix kicks off with warped vocals, stunted percussion and handclaps to keep it all together. The track follows a slower tempo, certainly less chipper than the original, which releases the inner sadness of the song: “I’d rather be alone.” The vocals of Phoenix front man Thomas Mars remain the centrepiece and [...]

Coachella 2013 de noche / Foto: Facebook de Coachella Coachella 2013 llegó a su fin y muchos ya estamos de regreso en casa listos para compartir con nuestros amigos nuestra experiencia, historias, anécdotas y descubrimientos musicales.

Nosotros estuvimos en ambos fines de semana del festival y pudimos ver muchas bandas a lo largo de cinco escenarios y seis días en total. De esta experiencia, logramos construir una lista con los 10 actos que más nos sorprendieron en vivo [...]

Because Coachella's line-up this year hearkens back so very, very much to the days of my childhood, particularly high school, I've spent all weekend doing coverage in the formats I knew best from Freshman English. That means poems, particularly haikus and limericks ! But the concluding day of the festival called for a little somber reflection, and therefore I turned to sonnets, specifically Spenserian sonnets. That means ABAB, BCBC, CDCD, EE, for those rhyming at home, and the whole thing has to be [...]

The common refrain about Coachella dictates: "It's not about the music, man, it's about the festival experience." With the dance/sex tents in full swing, dozens of corporate-sponsored hideaways at every corner offering shade and mild distraction in exchange for a few minutes of direct advertising access to your brain, and the untamed wilderness of the campground, where god knows what happens all day and night but it certainly ain't music - it's hard to argue.
