Hace unos días me disponía a acomodar una caja que tengo llena de CD's arrumbada en mi cuarto, más que nada mi mama me obligo, y pues pensé que sería bueno ya que tenía unos discos "extraviados" y con suerte podría encontrar algunos en esa caja. Todo iba de maravilla encontrando algunos discos que pensé [...]
The country-pop singer Kasey Chambers' Little Bird has already gone gold in Australia, but it won't be released in America until July 14th on Sugar Hill. In the meantime, here's a video of one of the sweeter songs, "Beautiful Mess", shot in a field of tall, yellow sunflowers. She wrote the song when she was at home babysitting a friend's one-year-old son, Townes, along with her two young boys Arlo and Talon. "It was one...
Happy Family right now at the Hexagon in Baltimore. If you get a chance listen to his song "YouTube". Itz legit
As much as I enjoy geeking out by building best-of album lists, song lists are infinity more interesting. A song is a high-wire act: one slip, one faulty step and you've got a mess on your hands. Albums, almost by their very nature are more forgiving: great albums still have awful, awful songs. So a list of the best songs of a period tend to be more inclusive of different types of talent. Quite a few of these bands here don't have enough of it to sustain an album (yet?), but they have enough to absolutely crush one. So, culled [...]
Artwork : Mario Wagner Il y a celles et ceux qui nous avons vu défiler mais que nous avons omis de mentionner... Rubrique, qui chaque semaine, en quelques titres, retrace l'actualité musicale. We listen to a lot of things and sometimes we omit to talk about them all, so here's a heading, to recount each week musical news. Brothertiger - You're Afraid Happy Family - Youtube [...]
Happy Family's "Youtube, which has been keeping me company all afternoon, doesn't ask for anything more than your affection. With indistinct vocals rising out of the sunny perculation of an indistinct sample, it's kind of remarkable that I have listened to the song as many times as I have today. Part of it is obviously the fact that it sounds like someone applying lessons learned from Person Pitch. But the song is no simple retread: it's a modest little song that no more than peaks its head in the door to say hello before vanishing without a trace. [...]
happy family - youtube This cut is CHUCK-FULL of Baltimore goodness. My heavens. 1000hz : Pre-order my new split with Run DMT on CD or tape at www.wigfliprecords.com !
Is it possible for something to be both "chill" and emotionally moving at the same time? Or rather for someone to feel chill and emotionally moved at the same time. Is it proper to equate "being chill" with apathy? I suppose, though, that if "being chilled out" is what you're after then you'd be pretty content with something that helped you reach that goal. I ask this question after hearing the latest track, "Youtube," from Baltimore's ever chill Happy Family , a song that both puts me at ease yet beckons impressions of beauty, [...]

I'm only a quarter of the way into inflatable mattress ' real talk for the first time, but anything with the Happy Family brand gets a 'way tight' in my book. I'm just waiting for the day when bmore isn't the standard Baltimore beat and we can hit up a space consistently dj'd with the sounds of Run DMT, Happy Family, teenage Animal Collective, and so on and so forth...I guess when medical marijuana is legal it'll make more sense to the general public. More words on this tape later, but download it now for [...]
So we all know about Stereogum and the FADER (oh and Pitchfork obvs), but what else were we reading in 2009? This is the year in MP3 blogs. Some new favorites... - Quiet Color recently posted: Vendela Vida (mp3) by Dinosaur Feathers - Microphone Memory Emotion recently posted: Meet Me In The City (mp3) by The Babies - [...]

Two of my favorite finds of '09, Run DMT and Happy Family (both outta Baltimore), teamed up for a chill end of the year mixtape. Filled with enough cycling echo and reverb to drown out the remaining December, the dudes are updating Gregorian chant repertoire like it ain't no thang. Download the "Amanda Huggankiss mix" right here , and get prepped for a super well-deserved nap. happy family - cups happy family - going to RUN DMT - mad weed [...]

Click here and you will be on your way to the third episode of Weekly Tape Deck radio on Indie-Verse. This week we've decided to throw a classic in the mix and will probably continue the tradition every week, or as we see fit. Aside from that we've got some brand new tracks from The Magic Kids, Happy Family, Best Coast, and The Sandwitches. Click the jump for a complete tracklisting and right here for a link to listen. 1)So Cow - Outskirts 2)Best Coast - [...]
Does video art sap the life right out of musical lyricism, stifling imagination? I begin today's Radio Dick with my simplistic and probably naive assertion that one ought to still read words and not dive too heavily into visual culture. My thoughts have been weighing pretty heavily on this idea lately; my 9th grade class is moving through Romeo and Juliet with me and I can't help but notice the dwindling patience with the text, the lack of analysis without strong coaching from my end with visual stimuli. The largely thematic aspects of the play still garner interest, [...]
Belated as ever, I just found this site which is inspired by the Take Away Shows series of LaBlogotheque. It is called Athens Soundies [hey hey...copyright issues? :-)] and features lo-fi videos from indie bands. It is pretty cool so check it out. I've chosen two videos for you, one from the amazing Warpaint and another from Acrylics. Enjoy!

what do words mean when all that we wish to do is listen? happy family - going to Woven Tales - Grazing Storms ...a couple of the best tunes for the moment i'm in right now / may they serve you just as well
Happy Family just hooked us up with a new song called "Going To" which leads me to wonder... where? I guess that's "the point" or something, sorta like Deerhunter's "Nothing Ever Happened" ... [MP3] Happy Family - Going To I know we pretty much encourage everyone to leave their thoughts all the time (the very blatant nature of a comments section) but I'm really itching to know what you all think of the Happy Family (and like-minded) stuff I've been posting... just a 'yea' or 'nay' [...]
Will from Happy Family has shared a brisk, snappy track with us that feels like a Van Gogh painting in Swinging London . We've written about Happy Family before but I must say this track is unsurpassed by anything they have done before and easily the best song I have heard produced by the Baltimore outfit. Happy Family - Going To
The new tremendous, seratonin eruption of a ditty from Baltimore party visionary Will Pesta, AKA one of our best-cherished fledgling hit makers of the year - blissfully undomestic producer of elusively exotic, brain-swell trance-pop - Happy Family - has arrived today and it's quite something. "Going To" is a fucked-up and freewheeling, ballistic block party acid anthem built on a sprightly yet dusty breakbeat and stoned organ stabs that almost render it something of a damaged homage to a lost or imagined early nineties hip hop beat - that is of course, one that [...]
