Indie artists record some downright nutso covers of Neil Young tunes.
I've never been a big "covers" guy. I don't know why, that's just how I'm wired I guess. Especially when it comes to two people - Bob Dylan and Neil Young.... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
A few weeks ago, a bunch of really amazing people came through LA. Among them, Dylan Khotin-Foote of Happy Trendy and Kumon Plaza , Warren Hildibrand of Foxes in Fiction , and Johanne Swanson aka Yohuna . They played a few shows while here, each of them just out of my reach to be able to attend. This is maybe my biggest regret in life. Especially after seeing these videos done by Jon Casey and friends [...]
I got an email from Matt over at Everybody Taste about this compilation yesterday, and, being the idiot I am, I slept on it at the time. Seriously, who sees the words "Teen Daze covers Neil Young" and doesn't immediately click download? Well I downloaded it today and after one listen to Ghost Animal's cover of "Helpless", I declared this a Must Listen. Just LOOK at this star-studded line-up: 1. Lost Boy? - "Hey Babe (Butchered Version)" 2. Fossil Cities - "After The Gold Rush" 3. Quilt - "Sugar Mountain" [...]

Call Before You Dig Taking The Second Highway Home (Candadian) Rockstars have kidnapped my son. Well, soon to be rockstars. There is so much good stuff coming out of our neighbors to the North, I am beside myself with Cunuck love. Canadians have kidnapped my soul. Put it this way, if The Get Up Kids were like ‘F*** the 90’s, let’s go all reverbed on their ass’, you would get Call Before You Dig . If [...]
Hey everybody! I'm organizing a Tinychat show next Wednesday at around 8pm EC. To make things easier I'm going to keep all the details in one place, so head on over to the facebook event .

Isn't it true that April Fools jokes are supposed to stop at noon? If so, I'll point out the one I put on the site today . Twas from a few years ago, thought i'd try it again. Anyway, here's one of those posts where I link to a bunch of stuff, check it. -Cory Thomas Hanson is W-H-I-T-E and his latest single "draws from the experience of water rushing over ones body, submerging the senses in a bliss of overwhelming intensities". Look for it on his upcoming album Twin Tigers . Check out [...]
I've been loving Foxes in Fiction's music for a long long time, there are too many beautiful lo-fi layers crafted by Warren Hildebrand not to like. The hypeworthy alum first conquered my ears in March of last year, but has since conquered a bevy of other senses via live performances at our CMJ edition of Floating Fest and most recently our SXSW Killer Tofu party . Warren unveiled some new tracks at Killer Tofu, including the dreamy and drifting "School Night" complete with Memoryhouse backing him. It was [...]

Of late, I've been listening to a lot of pseudo-electronic music. Stuff that borders on chillwave, throwbacks to new wave but with an electronic twist, a lot of it European-influenced, most of it with a nerdy edge to it that's walks the threshold between awkwardness and the invariably cool. Stuff that can, in a way, be adequately described as psychedelic ambiance. This is the first of a few podcasts to fit this mold so you can think of it as part one, as that's precisely what it is - the playlist grew and grew until I simply [...]

Headaches + Foxes in Fiction = untitled (pt. i) Coming back from the rush of excitement that SXSW was, I am thrust back into brutal reality. Luckily, this piece of music came at just the right moment. Suppressing the stresses of my life, and sustaining my breath just long enough to not drown. But seriously, this collaboration between experimental genius Landon Speers and Foxes in Fiction ’s Warren Hildebrand was a match made in [...]
