After the long stint in Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, The Softies and her solo project, Rose Melberg is back at it with a full band with Vancouver's Brave Irene. The band contains the same elements that have drawn the indie pop community to her work throughout the years. And till this day, she still garners [...]
Mission of Burma, The Wedding Present, Apples in Stereo amongst headliners for this year's shindig
Go Sailor may not have set the indie-pop world on fire the way some of Rose Melberg's other projects (Tiger Trap, Rawkblog favorite-band-ever The Softies) did, but given that Rose has spent approximately an hour performing songs in Los Angeles in the last decade, all news is good news. The short-lived, Rose-fronted band - which obviously rules - is reuniting to play at Slumberland Records' 20th anniversary shows in L.A. on March 28 and San Francisco on March 27. Joining them will be other reuniting '90s luminaries Henry's Dress, Boyracer and The How, as well as modern torch-bearers Pants Yell! [...]
Catch the must-see showcases to celebrate 20 years of Slumberland Records!
**I LOVE this skirt! I am awesome! I managed to miss posting about the holidays this year, I also managed to not post any year-end lists once again this year. I think 2009 was a wash, I'm glad to see it go for many reasons. The last few months have been difficult for me for a variety of reasons but 2010 is a new year, a new decade and I suppose a new start (again), and thus far things seem to be going pretty darn well. [...]
Para el recopilatorio de hoy nos vamos a centrar en el catálogo de Slumberland Records que este año celebran su vigésimo aniversario. Desde que el año 1989 comenzase su andadura con un 7" llamado What Kind of Heaven Do You Want?, que incluía canciones de Black Tambourine, Powderburns y mis adorados Velocity Girl, el sello norteamericano nos ha regalado joyas irrepetibles. Resulta complicado resumir estos veinte años de historia en unas pocas canciones, así que simplemente me limitaré a poner algunas de las que más me gustan, no obstante, os recomiendo que os déis una vuelta por el [...]
Ég minntist um daginn á Slumberland Records, en sú ágæta útgáfa gefur brátt út smáskífu og breiðskífu The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Eitthvað hlýtur þá að vera varið í útgáfuna, og ekki sakar að slagorð þeirra er "Keeping it foolish since 1989". Ykkur til hægðarauka fylgir hér texti af vefsíður þeirra, og svo glás af MP3: Slumberland began operations in 1989 as a collective effort consisting of members of DC area bands Velocity Girl, Big Jesus Trash Can/Whorl, Black Tambourine and Powderburns. We were inspired by such musical happenings as C-86, early [...]
" You think they'll get this one? Think they'll get it? A little clue: check you calendar. Check your calendar on this one. Check your calendar, and then maybe you'll get the joke." - Tom, dropping some hints about his timely spin of "Taxman" "Oh, there's many more things I've done, but, you know, I figured I'd start with that." -- Leon Carbone, purging the guilt about a $20 paper route theft "Not even gonna say what it's a stain of, just trust me. It was gross." -- Tom, declining [...]
I've made my love of Tiger Trap abundantly clear here already so now I'll express my love for some of her other projects. Go Sailor and The Softies were her projects immediately following the demise of Tiger Trap. I had the pleasure of seeing both projects many times including a melding of the two when Jen from The Softies joined Go Sailor on stage for a full band version of the Softies song Loveseat . I enjoyed that the bands were different from each other with The Softies covering the acoustic side of things and Go [...]
So, those that know me well are aware that underneath this tough exterior (hah!) lurks the soft, squishy soul of a huuuuge twee pop fag. Here are a few twee classics that will brighten your darkest day and warm even the most frost bitten, Grinch-like heart. I'll be back next Wednesday to profile a great twee band/bring y'all more sugary sweet goodness. Go Sailor - Together Forever In Love Rocketship - Your New Boyfriend Heavenly - Our Love Is Heavenly [...]

Okay, so I'm aware that Summer's beginning to wind down, but I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I've created a mix, using the most special of ingredients, known to be very powerful against the threat of fall and it's plans to overtake Summer. Join me in listening to this mix all day long and riding Summer out as long as we can! P.S. It's not all twee, but most of it is, so whatever. You can download the big boy .ZIP file, or if you're into having yourself a buffet, you can download all songs seperately [...]
