Dear internet: It's me, Brian. I miss you. I remember the time that we spent together, holding hands, listening to tunes, saying mean things about stupid people and the like. There were times when we'd just look into each others' eyes, secure in the knowledge that we'd always have our love. I feel like we've drifted apart in the last few weeks, internet. I don't call as much as I used to. I never write. It seems like there aren't enough hours in the day for us to just cuddle. I want there to be time [...]

East meets west (coast). Reverb meets autotune. Los Angeles' the Mae Shi give a clean shave and a fancy sheen to Dinowalrus' breezy, tempo-leaping "Nuke Duke 'Em", transforming it into a pop song only 6 seconds shorter than the original with autotune and strings replacing controlled feedback blurps and guitar walls.

Recommended Show: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2009 DINOWALRUS @ SANTOS PARTY HOUSE DOWNSTAIRS 96 Lafayette Street Manhattan, NY 10013 $8, 7PM My first time seeing Dinowalrus was before this blog really got going, back in February. However, it was their CMJ showcases that really brought them to the forefront of buzz bands in my mind. They return to the downstairs of Santos Party House ( where we caught them during CMJ ) to play a show tonight.

After spending a week at the CMJ Music Marathon I was a bit worried about what music has been presenting us with lately. Most of the bands of that week seemed to be trying to cash in on trends, sounding eerily similar to each other, and blending into a huge blur that was really difficult to differentiate between. Luckily there are bands out there that can remind you of the power of rock music in one fell swoop. On Friday night Future of the Left restored my admiration for music quickly and thoroughly. The band straight up rocks [...]

I took last night off. I fell asleep in front the newest It's Always Sunny at 10, awoke two hours later to zombie-walk into my bed, and just woke up again a few minutes ago. This CMJ business is a lot more tiring than I remember it being. I hope everyone rested up for today, because it's going to be great. It's your last chance to squeeze in all those bands you haven't managed to see yet. I will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off all day for sure. I'm combining today's posts [...]

If you're currently in New York, this week's Friday Mixtape will probably see little love - why listen to something on record when there are thousands of bands, many of which are featured on this week's Mixtape, performing live, at a venue near you? But for everyone, hopefully this week's mix of new singles, remixes, covers, and mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out will help curb some of that jealousy. You know, the jealousy resulting from not being about to see the thousands of bands, many of which are featured on this week's Mixtape, performing [...]

Dinowalrus | Santos Party House (Panache Showcase) | October 20, 2009 It was an early night for me last night. I called it quits after the Dinowalrus set at Panache's CMJ Showcase. The New York band played downstairs at Santos Party House. They've recently announced plans to release their new album on Kanine Records , so it's no surprise that the band play their second official CMJ show tonight at the label's Cake Shop showcase. Check out the photos from Santos after the jump. www.dinowalrus.com | [...]

MP3: Dinowalrus - "BEAD" Dinowalrus are playing a bunch of CMJ shows this year, but the real news is their release that's coming on Kanine Records on January 19 of next year. The oddly titled % is sure to be a departure from many of the bands on the Kanine label in the fact that it's just a little weirder. Check out a list of the shows that the band are playing this week after the jump. Dinowalrus CMJ shows: 10.20 - Santos Party House [...]
