What an awesome album. I want to tell you how awesome this album is, but first we need to get the definition of "awesome" straight. Dark Side of the Moon is not awesome, it's "amazing." OK Computer is "incredible." Antennas to Heaven is "unbelievable." But none of those albums are awesome, except maybe for little bits. Let me tell you what is awesome. Starship Troopers is awesome. Reigning Sound is awesome. Metal Slug is awesome. Awesome is where you are watching, listening, reading, and [...]

I had a very hard time narrowing it down to 10 this year so I am doing 20 in four installments. I'll save my thoughts on the whole year until the final installment. I appologize to techno fans in advance. Please note that compilations and rereleases of older material were not considered for this list but they will get their due. #20 Belong-October Language Out of all the great ambient drone releases this year(Tim Hecker, Growing, Etc...) this one remains my absolute favorite.

Some of you may notice that I’ve already posted quite a few of these, but not everyone has been reading that long. So it’s a good way to catch up too! Click on the band/artists name to take you [...]
Don Caballero - "Delivering the Groceries at 138 Beats per Minute" via TWW "Oh no! Not more Don bleedin' Caballero!!! You know you want it!!!"
Play it: Touch & Go Records Sampler Oh joyous of 4-day work weeks! Just in time for their 25th Anniversary, Touch & Go (and Quarterstick) Records have been added to the Rhapsody library. At this time, it appears to be limited to mostly recent artists and one (maybe two) from other artists on the label. More recent T&G staples like TV On The Radio , CocoRosie , [...]
Have you seen this ? Um... If you are wondering about what to do this week in NYC... Wednesday? ... Try this on ... Thursday? ...Vetiver at Tonic? listen here. Vetiver - Oh Papa (with Devendra B) Friday? I am going to see Don Caballero .. The drummer is the only original member but if you haven't heard them, they practically invented the term Math Rock. Come see the drummer, Damon Che , formerly known as the [...]

So I'm 100% fucking sure that if Don Caballero could turn themselves into a mathematic equation that it would look something like this: Looks intimidating as all hell, but if you know what you're doing it probably makes sense.
