As we progress down our path of the loveliest music of the decade, we'll give you a bit more detail on the records we've chosen. While we were infatuated with numbers 31-40 (which you can read here), we're ready to go to battle over every selection from 1 to 30. Not a bad song on any of these albums, if you ask us. You can listen to the entire album of each of these by registering with Lala.com.... but you knew that, right? While we don't claim this to be a defining document of merit, we [...]

Fujiya & Miyagi - Knickerbocker (mp3) From Fujiya & Miyagi's superb Transparent Things (2007).
Attention chaud devant ! Vous avez ratez les deux premiers week end du festival Fnac Indétendance ? Pas de problème, dès demain sera réunie la crème de la crème puisque Damon Albarn et son collectif Africa Express nous embarque pour six heures de jam sessions, géante (enfin c'est c'qu'on lit dans l'press book). Que dire si ce n'est qu'il est inimaginable de rater leur première sortie en France. Ca va festoyer sur du bon afro-beat. Pour l'occasion ils seront pas tous seuls puisque Amadou et Mariam [...]
This week's mix is bursting with fresh material - from Arctic Monkeys and Air to Q-Tip, Tiny Vipers, and beyond. The Repeater track from this session is undoubtedly Lupe Fiasco's "Shining Down". For good measure I've sprinkled in some Spiritualized, which I'm strangely addicted to right now for unknown reasons. The intro music is from the oft-overlooked House Of Love, a Creation band who combusted so delightfully in the face of sudden stardom as they hung out the back of their bus, burning 100 pound notes while on tour in the UK. Lovely. That said, "Love V" is a choice [...]
Art by Odili Donald Odita How freaking crazy is it that 2009 is already halfway over? What a crazy year so far, in so many ways, the least of which is all of the fantastic, surprising, and sometimes disappointing music that has come our way. TBE will be 5 months old in a week and we have been chronicling most of the year's jams. Here are my top 20.9. I guarantee you wont agree with all of them but doesn't that just make our friendship that much more deep and meaningful? Just so we are [...]
Breaking Bad , c'est ma série télé préférée du moment. C'est aussi une série qui a tout pour devenir culte et qui l'est déjà pour bon nombre de gens il me semble. Tous les ingrédients sont là : un scénario dingue, des acteurs fantastiques, un décor somptueux, une réalisation cinématesque (ça se dit ?) et une bande-son très inspirée. Walter White est un père de familles sans histoires, bedonnant, moustachu, qui cumule deux boulots, l'un dans un lycée d' Albuquerque au Nouveau-Mexique et l'autre dans un "car-wash", une petite société de lavage de voitures. Il a une [...]
Was haben Oasis, Sonic Youth, Primal Scream, Foals, Kasabian und LCD Soundsistem gemeinsam? Sie alle mögen die Düsseldorfer Band NEU! NEU! lieferten Anfang der 70er mit Gitarre und Schlagzeug den wohl minimalistischsten Krautrock-Entwurf des deutschen Progressiv-Kuchens. Der pulsierende, sogenannte "Motorik"-Sound von Klaus Dinger und Michael Rother war seiner Zeit weit voraus, die Platten der beiden Kraftwerk-Gründungsmitglieder verkauften sich deshalb nur schleppend. Ähnlich wie Can wurden die beiden Düsseldorfer Jahre später wiederentdeckt. Auch fast 40 Jahre nach erscheinen ihres Debüts klingen NEU! noch immer neu. Primal Scream-Sänger Bobby [...]
Chris Pureka has an EP out with some studio tracks and a handful of live tracks that is Americana-tinged singer/songwriter fare. Actually quite good (as in way better than I expected it to be even though I'm not sure why I didn't think it would be good). This song is especially great. RIYL : Indigo Girls, David Gray, Iron & Wine, etc… MP3 | Chris Pureka - Wagon Wheel Chimera I just finished a 3 [...]

PROJECT JENNY, PROJECT JAN THE COLORS EP (Might Records) The new EP (out on Tuesday, April 14) from Brooklyn's Project Jenny, Project Jan is the band's best effort to date, but that's not the surprising thing about it. Quite a few acts have followed up an amazing debut with an even more outstanding EP. The Colors EP continues to stretch the duo's abilities. The new songs are more diverse, more complex, and more layered than their previous efforts, but the boys haven't [...]

I got needles and pins and I hear the sound of violins Project Jenny, Project Jan - Pins and Needles (w/ Fujiya & Miyagi) Oh boy, where do I start? First of all, if you are familiar with both bands on this track then proceed freely. For those needing the back story it goes like this.... Project Jenny, Project Jan are two dudes from Brooklyn who are named neither Jenny nor Jan. Their debut album XOXOXOXOXO (above) is filled with quirky danceable pop fun that should appeal to [...]

Recently, I went to see Fujiya & Miyagi at the 9:30 Club which reminded me, first of all, how much fun they are and number two, that it's not necessarily uncool to refer to yourself in a song. "Ankle Injuries" is a fantastic low-key dance tune and I was able to dig out a few other great songs where the band isn't afraid to let the listener know who they are...without sounding like Kid Rock. I was also going more for a "Hey Hey We're the Monkees" sort of self-reference than a "Who are you?" and I'm eliminating hip hop [...]
Project Jenny, Project Jan will release The Colors EP on April 14th. The disc features an array of special guests, not least of which is TSR fave Fujiya & Miyagi, who turn up on the new single (video below), "Pins and Needles". I first discovered Project Jenny, Project Jan when a friend included them on a mix cd that I later played on repeat while driving around the Big Island in Hawaii. I will never forget the terrifying experience of driving down into a canyon, doing 4WD in a red jeep while listening [...]
