NYC's (3/4 transplanted from Texas) Parquet Courts is a band featuring Andrew Savage of Fergus & Geronimo * and Austin Brown of The Keepsies **. Well, earlier this year, Parquet Courts released their debut LP Light Up Gold via the Dull Tools label. Recorded over a few days in a ice-box practice space, Light Up Gold is the type of postpunky indie rock that frankly, I just can't get enough of. This right here is track number two. Listen.

There’s a scene from the early '00s Fox sitcom Undeclared in which the inept wildcard character Marshall Nesbitt announces his rock star aspirations by performing for the first time at his university’s talent show. Inspired by his favorite musician, Beck Hansen, he marches onstage and throws down a bafflingly silly solo set laced with robotic chants of vague social commentary and corny sci-fi allusions, including the lyric, “I am the music man/ funk is my energy/ music is the product of/ my factory.” The stunned audience applauds politely, and that’s the end of that subplot. On [...]

The word “interesting,” ironically, may be the least interesting adjective in the English language. It pretends to make an opinion without really saying anything about the subject. To say something is interesting is to say that it captured your attention and held it for a certain period of time, long enough for you to think with at least a sliver of consideration and, hopefully, to form an opinion, but apparently not a very strong one. Interesting is lukewarm and does not communicate anything terribly precise. In some cases, however, it can be the best way to describe something, [...]
1. Redd Kross - "Researching The Blues" (After a 15 year hiatus, the punk and power-pop kings return to reclaim their crown with their new album Researching The Blues out this week on Merge Records. The super-charged first single, and title track opens the album with fuzzy guitars including not one but two blazing guitar solos and more hooks than a hardware store. It's like they never left!) http://reddkross.com/ Download: http://loudfeed.s3.amazonaws.c om/assets/22624/01_Researching _the_Blues.mp3 [...]
Instinct , the full-length debut of Niki and the Dove , now finally available on CD, tops this week's list of new releases. Like fellow Swedish artists The Knife and Lykke Li, the Swedish duo combine '80s synth-pop, dark post-punk and dancy funk on what our Music Director, Don Yates, praises as "well-crafted songs with twinkling, ethereal synths, occasional tribal rhythms and some monster pop hooks." synths, occasional tribal rhythms and some monster pop hooks." Seattle producer/guitarist Erik Blood returns with a titillating concept album about pornography (don't worry, it's still SFW) wrapped in "a varied, atmospheric [...]
For their second album, ' Funky Was The State Of Affairs ' (out tomorrow, August 7th), Brooklyn-based band Fergus & Geronimo brought in two new members and left behind the sixties background of their debut, to find in the 80s the foundations of a new sonic flavour. Truthfully though, the various New Wave, dance rock and pop-punk influences are hardly the most interesting thing about this record. Amidst fast beats and freaky skits, they're playing their very own 'tale of idiots', halfway between social satire and pure nonsense. Don't be misled by that strange Northern-Cockney hybrid on the [...]

It wouldn't appear here either, under normal circumstances, but it needs saying here and now so here goes: [...]

The band will be making their way to Denton, TX on September 1st for Hot Wet Mess from the wonderful people at 35 Denton . You can listen to the entire 16-track output here . Funky Was the State of [...]
