To say that The Felice Brothers put on a high-energy performance would be a gross under-exaggeration: The Felice Brothers' stage show is a dizzying, raucous, foot-stomping, don't-take-a-breath display of music that cannot be described in base terms like "folk rock." It was such an engaging show this past Saturday evening that I abandoned my notebook and usual style of documenting everything and simply experienced what was happening right in front of me. All I came away with in terms of notes was: " 'Run Chicken Run.' Third song in. Accordion lively. Dude [Ian Felice] with faux mullet singing lead. Maelstrom [...]

Wildlife. From Toronto. Their album is called Strike Hard, Young Diamond. And it carries you away. Wildlife. That is the name of the band. Spirited Canadian mountain children. Awesome. Click Play. Click to Play Wildlife - When I Get Home I'm at a loss for words with this album. I feel like I am along for the ride [...]
If you live near some sort of wooded area, you might want to load this album onto your iPod and head towards that direction. Peter Broderick's 2008 release Home is a true folk gem, with acoustic lines and harmonies that I can't get enough of. Give this album a good listen and you'll [...]
I thought Trent Reznor was just being mean and overly critical. He sent the following tweet after listening to Scream : The album starts out with some sort of horrific trumpet fanfare and I am already cringing. wtfwtfwtfwtf is all I can think. Mookie is overjoyed because he has hated Chris Cornell ever since he took up with Rage Against the Machine members to form Audioslave. I, on the other hand, have remained faithfully devoted since Badmotorfinger in 1991. I [...]

I'm seriously surprised at the quality of what Play Cloths are putting out.. I'm seriously interested to see what they have coming out in the future.. A lot more mainstream streetwear than I was expecting... Play Cloths Blog Previous: Clipse's New Line Play Cloths

Archrival in Little Tokyo Downtown L.A. will be releasing their cut & sew bit of dopeness they call "Vanquish" today.

es gibt sie. die nerds, die alles, was an frei verfügbaren mp3s zu haben ist, auf ihren rechner laden und bunkern. irgendwann ergibt sich eine pralle zahl, die vorzeigbar ist und mit der man in konkurrenz zu anderen freaks treten kann. sind eine million tracks viel? ob diese gehört werden, möchte ich hier nicht erläutern. nur die frage stellen, ob ich solchen herrschaften zuarbeiten möchte. series two records hat seinen sitz in columbus, im staate nebraska. es ist ein cdr label. das kann man sich auf die fahne schreiben.

[NOT SAFE FOR WORK ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY DON'T ALLOW U TO MISMATCH UR CONVERSE] [Photo by HelLooks ] I remember when flannel was big in the LocalAlternativeGlobalInternet scene back 10 blog years ago. It's good to see that some1 was wearing flannel not because they wanted to move away from the 'limited range of colours' that American Apparel offered her to express herself. Instead, this FlannelBroad shows that there's more to flannel than just wearing a general lumberjack shirt. Instead, she commits to the flanny head wrap, [...]

Flannel is a one man lo-fi indie pop artist from Japan that has recently been signed to Series Two Records in Nebraska. STR is a CD-R label that I have grown quite fond of since they continually send me some top quality material by artists that I have never heard of. Flannel, (aka Tomohiro) recorded Dear Something, Dear Someone from start to finish in his bedroom, and his gifts become immediately recognizable on the first track Spill , which has a definite Smiley Smile in its melody, and [...]
