Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Eyes Lips Eyes Video: 'Lumiere' Highlight: "The 'Lumiere' video was shot/directed by Collin Mapp whose quirky visual style really captures the personality within our brand of music," guitarist Spencer Petersen tells Spinner. "While the sunshiny guitar riffs, hand claps and refrain lyric 'Lumiere don't leave me' might sound like another unrequited love song to the average listener, the verses pull you into Tony Hello's inner monologue, standing beside the hospital bed of his gravely ill [...]
BACKSEAT BINGO, EYES LIPS EYES, AND BIKOS ON MONDAY JUN. 13TH AT LOT 1 CAFE, 1533 WEST SUNSET BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 9:00PM/ $5/ 18+

I'm always looking for those perfect songs that are good for everyday soundtracks. Sure, we all have those designated tunes we put on for certain moments - road trips, workouts, heartbreaks, dance parties, the lists are endless. But I often find that I need more of those "everyday feel good" songs that I can play at any moment. You know the genre I'm talking about. The songs that are perfect for commutes to work and school. The songs that give you that inspiration to complete that never-ending to do list that's been haunting you. And they are [...]

Part jingle-jangle, part old-fashioned Southern rock, Futurebirds have been collecting praise all over the place for their debut, "Hampton's Lullaby" (out now on Autumn Tone). Full of pedal-steel swerves and comforting harmonies, the album delivers dreamy melodies that come closer with every listen. Four of the six members are multi-instrumentalists as well as vocalists within the band, giving every song a fresh voice while maintaining the same sense of humor and a tangible feeling of camaraderie — which carries over to the Athens, Ga., sextet's live shows. ||| Download: "Johnny Utah" [...]

Monday, August 9, 2010 Today's Quick Mention: 4 years! As of today, that's how long this site has been up on the interwebs. I've had a lot of fun. Hopefully you have too. Now, let's get back to the music. I'm actually packing up and moving this week (update your address database, PR people!), so I didn't really have any time to assemble anything other than a normal posting of five tracks. Enjoy. : Makeup Monsters - Rude [...]

As you may know, I have mentioned it numerous times, I get a lot of crap in my inbox. This summer I've been sorting through my months of neglect. This neglect, however, is normally a pop band, some new remix blatantly ripping off whatever is cool at the moment or a bad indie rock band. I give you a little collection of Forward Music approved good indie rock to listen to. Summer Job - CYMBALS I've seen their Pavement cover spring up here and there, but it's definitely the A side that deserves the [...]

As a mighty heat wave continues to seize the nation, the last thing you probably want to do is scamper out into the hot sun and dance. However, this week's particularly upbeat edition of Friday Mixtape is filled with the kind of toe-tappin', finger wavin' tunes that will make you want to boogie the night away. So what is one to do when the urge to dance is strong, but the heat prevents it? Get creative with your dancing locations. A neighbor's air-conditioned home, the back of ice cream trucks, and the penguin exhibit [...]
