It's so damn beautiful. Streamable: Phaedra by Gun Outfit k: The last song on the new Wild Beasts album. The whole thing is great, but that track leaves the best aftertaste. [...]
Happy Mother's Day! You probably didn't know this, but I keep a diary mailbag for all Sound on the Sound's readers. When your real-life friends aren't enough, when your family has decided that you are a racing horse with a broken leg, when your parole officer simply "doesn't have time for this emotional shit," you come [...]
Blogophilia 24 is the second "theme-based" mix in the Blogophilia series. You may or may not know that Blogophilia mixes are created by mixing songs posted to this blog and others to form a mix of songs that were recently released. The only other theme-based mix (Blogophilia 2) deviated from these basic rules by including songs that had American states, cities or places of significance in the title without attention to release date. The general rules for this mix were to: 1) Find enough songs in 24 hours via music blogs and related sites to form a [...]

Some things I picked up on the way out of the venue. A mighty wind blew opened the windows of our house on a gloomy Sunday morning of crammed ashtrays, a crammed sink, no unwatched VHS tapes and many a pizza box to jettison. Crouched from the sofa we stared into the pale outside from [...]
Douglas Martin thinks Gun Outfit should ask the NRA to sponsor their next tour. During the second verse of opener "Feeling Good" (a misnomer to say the least), Gun Outfit's Dylan Sharp sings about being choked by a man with the sort of emotional distance that makes you believe it's a casual encounter with a stranger. That is, until Sharp diffidently intones, "Yeah, he knows my name." Whether it's to keep in tune with the casual, "keep it cool" mentality of the forebears of Gun Outfit's particular brand of loosey-goosey indie-rock or to [...]

Editor's Note: What is wrong with the internet? This is a re-posting of this afternoon's post, which inadvertently cut off a third of the post. Included is the Roky Erickson track, as well as the Memory Tapes remix. Enjoy the updated post. For today's first post, we'll keep this quick and efficient. We've got plenty of makeup work to get to this week. Fortunately, this is the last week I have with my high school seniors (for those unaware, I teach 12th grade British Literature, for better or worse). [...]
For today's second post, we'll keep this quick and efficient. We've got plenty of makeup work to get to this week. Fortunately, this is the last week I have with my high school seniors (for those unaware, I teach 12th grade British Literature, for better or worse). Needless to say, I've been a little out of blog-focus for a few days. I have, however, been enjoying a few newly dropped tracks with albums looming soon. I suppose a thematic tilt is important. These three tracks don't necessarily line up well sound-wise, but they do [...]
I keep trying to find a moral in SXSW. The point is to be in a band, and the rest of us are just plebeian followers. Go home and practice your instrument until you can do it yourself. Go home and practice your writing until you become a better critic. Go home and give up because there's already so very many other people trying to do what you're trying to do. When it comes down to it, though, I think the fact that SXSW drives home above all is that good music is good. When you're seeing a band that [...]
Rollo & Grady is heading to Austin later this week. Almost 2000 bands are participating this year at South By Southwest, and deciding which shows to attend can be overwhelming. After sampling roughly 1200 bands, we selected 200 bands to check out. Many of these artists we've covered in the past, but we've also discovered several new groups that we're excited to share with you. Tomorrow we're highlighting 23 artists that we feel will generate the biggest buzz at (and after) the festival. Adam Green (Myspace) [...]
