Posted in Soundbite Since the holidays we've been slightly neglecting Weekend Tunage every Friday, but this week it's back and it's a bit of a family affair! My brother Francesco and I have pretty much aligned music taste, he's introduced me to new bands and I've introduced him to a few more! I asked him to choose a [...]

John Vanderslice) Hey, Guys — I just posted up the first release from my new band, Dream Brother , for free download here .

Taking a page out of the Free Energy playbook in the eponymous naming of their debut single, Norwegian outfit Young Dreams lift their sonic influences from Vampire Weekend's glittering world pop and tribalism that makes the second half of Lord Huron's songs so satisfying. A recent signee to Modular People, the band just Friday released their first free promotional single. This goes a long way

After exploding onto the Philly and national music scene, it has been pretty quiet in the Free Energy camp (except for a handful of big shows), which has been most likely due to their search for a permanent new guitarist with the exodus of Geoffrey Bucknum this past spring. Well, the boys are back at Making Time tonight, and it should definitely be a hyper-rager when they party down with The Rapture (performing at their fourth MT), Metronomy, Class Actress, and Still Corners. This evening will make your decision to skip CMJ a very wise one. [...]
While the summer is gone, I always look forward to the crispness of autumn. It's a time for changes, swapping tanks for sweaters, and flip flops for fun fall boots.

We are excited to be attending this year and wanted to share with your some of our picks for the 2011 festival: ANR Active Childe Ambassadors Art Vs.

![[playlist] Songs for the Fuzzy Headed](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3782457_lg.jpg)
Hey, sorry for the disappearing act over the past few days. I was celebrating my birthday a little too hard and I fell off my bike on Saturday night. It was a stupid move so I guess what I was most thankful for this past weekend was that I didn't get seriously injured...just a concussion, gashed up forehead, broken nose and a lot of road rash. Here is my short playlist to describe my experience and how I am feeling these days. 1. Black Whales - Rattle Your Bones [...]
Earlier this summer, Weezer announced they'd be hosting a cruise for fans, and now details have been released. The four-day cruise will take place from January 19-23, 2012 as passengers will travel on the cruise ship from Miami to Mexico. Many bands will be on-board as well to perform, including Dinosaur Jr., Wavves, the Antlers, Sebadoh, Free Energy, Sleeper Agent and Yuck. Many unique non-music activities that will include the band are planned for passengers on the Carnival Destiny, including Weezer bassist Scott Shriner performing ceremonies for married couples to renew their vows. Drummer Pat Wilson [...]
The concept of The Weezer Cruise , sailing the seas from January 19th through the 23rd 2012, was attractive from the get-go: a four-night cruise from Miami to Cozumel featuring performances from Weezer and a slew of indie favorites including Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Wavves, Ozma, and Yuck. Now, a boat load of new details have emerged, and this winter excursion is looking better than ever. First on deck is the music schedule . The aforementioned acts, along with many others, will be playing various indoor and outdoor stages in rotation over the [...]

So it seriously feels like the hottest summer ever. I was playing volleyball last night in 98 degree weather and it almost felt cool. So to deal with the heat and to help make the hot summer nights on the volleyball courts more enjoyable, I made a pretty jammin' summer mixtape. And as you will soon find out, I have been really into pop music this summer, partly because it goes well with the season, but mostly because I love to dance. So I thought I would share my summer mixtape with you all in hopes that it might enrich [...]
Chockablock with highly hummable hooks -- songs like "Bang Pop" and "Dream City" have an easy way of lodging themselves into your brain -- pop rockers Free Energy's 2010 album, Stuck on... Continue reading "Free Energy frontman Paul Sprangers on DFA, AC/DC, and the band's pop mentality" >
An der Kajütentür klopft der energiegeladene Free-Energy-Overload des Labels Zimmer-Records . Genau genommen ist es eine Koproduktion, ein gemeinsames Release der Labels Zimmer-records (Deutschland), Diggarama (Kroatzien) und Bleepsequence (USA). Die 36 Tracks sind dem Dreiphasenwechselstrom ähnlich in drei Phasen gebündelt. Aus der ersten recht ruhigen Phase spiele ich in dieser Klangboot Sendung das soundscapesartige Track What We See von ClearPlanet und danach das Stück Distant Connection. Free Energy for all!

Ever thought it'd be cool to hang out with River Cuomo and co? Ever wanted to go on a cruise? If you answered yes to both of those then Weezer may have just made your life a whole lot better. They've announced The Weezer Cruise . Included will be live performances from Weezer, naturally, but along with that Dinosaur Jr along with solo and acoustic shows from J Mascis. Also hitting up the ship will be Wavves, the Antlers, Boom Bip, Gene Ween and Dave Dreiwitz, Yuck, Free Energy, Keepaway and Yacht Rock Revue, whatever that is. [...]
Either this is a brilliant idea or the first sign that 2012 is indeed the end of the world. When you think of rock bands and cruises, usually the bands playing on boats are older, washed up 80s acts that can barely fill any venue. But Weezer has taken this concept and applied it to their band and have brought many a hipster band along for the voyage. Running from January 19-23, the cruise sails the high seas from Miami, FL to Cozumel, Mexico. While riding the waves towards your island in [...]

Prices for the cruise start at $799 per person for a double cabin, and groups of [...]
