Foma - "Seraphim Succubi" (from Inverness ) The Make-Out Room hosts San Francisco transplants Foma on Saturday, May 2nd, as the band celebrates the release of their new album, Inverness . Originally hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, lead singer/songwriter Edward Burch grew up playing around the legendary music scene before forming Foma in 2003. Having performed on the same stages as Flake Music (pre-Shins) and worked with violinist Heather Trost (Beirut, A Hawk and a Hacksaw), Edward forged his sound in the bedrooms and basements of [...]

Full disclosure: It's been a crap week at the day job. I was halfway to ditching out completely on a new music review today in favor of writing 1500 words detailing Pavement's significance in my formative years as a music fan; that would have been easy, requiring no real mental effort, and would have given me more time stew about all of the things that piss me off about my gig. Sadly, it would also have been boring as hell. Nobody wants to read about 15 year-old me and how "Range Life" made me feel. (If I'm wrong on that, [...]

Someone once asked me what the POP! Stereo was all about. This is what I told him...The POP! Stereo benchmarks customized mindshare in an effort to facilitate end-to-end bandwidth and mesh virtual communities through strategizing visionary users. I feel as though by synergizing impactful portals it allows the blog to e-enable user-centric deliverables and optimize out-of-the-box infrastructures which further ables the blog to exploit enterprise systems. What the hell am I talking about? Well that's corporate speak for: it's Friday and it's time for another installment of Ten Tracks You Need. I've [...]

Lukid is Luke Blair die in 2007 debuteerde op Werk Discs met Onandon . Zijn stijl is iets met zorgvuldig geproduceerde beats, bleeps en basgedreven sferen. Zijn 2e album Foma kwam begin deze maand uit en is voor mij alvast één van de aangename verrassingen die dit jaar al te bieden had. 2 Mixen van Luke die ik vond geven een aardig idee van zijn invloeden en zijn ook nog eens aangenaam verfrissend in de zee van podcasts. Download zijn mix voor Fact Magaxine hier (Sendspace alert) en download zijn We Are [...]

Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. So it goes. I would like to write something that could convey just how much his works have meant to me, but I feel completely inadequate to the task. Especially since anything I would attempt to write would inevitably be long-winded and imprecise, which runs so directly contrary to what made him such a fantastic writer: the ability to say complex things in just a few words. I don't think it's a stretch to say he was one of America's finest authors, and I would be very willing to entertain [...]
