About six months ago, I became completely obsessed with zombies films, mostly due to the brilliance behind Robert Kirkman 's The Walking Dead books and the airing of the series on AMC . As Season 1 comes out on DVD and BluRay today, I figured the time was right to post this. So I buckled down and finished my zombie soundtrack podcast, filled with songs I felt perfect for a zombie film. Be assured: this will not be your typical zombie mix. [...]
9.6/10 Snowden are indie rock band from Atlanta, GA. Snowden 's sound hovers somewhere between experimental rock bands like Film School and I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness with ethereal guitar-driven melodies capped off with echo-ey vocals. But what really sets them apart is using that combination of reverb-heavy distortion and breathy vocals to hypnotize the listener with an uncanny ability that surpasses most within the genre. Their 2006 debut, [...]
With winter well and truly on its way we're now experiencing dark mornings and dark (early) evenings. Well maybe not everybody gets to see the dark mornings, some may not have the displeasure of having to arise at 6am but i do and by the time i get home from work it's either half 5 or 6. Sometimes later. Basically at this time of year i feel like a vampire, i hardly see any daylight, between the hours of 8am and 5pm i'm stuck in a garage all day and because it's cold this time of year the huge shutter [...]
Las neuronas no funcionan mucho los días viernes. Por eso, siempre terminamos jugando estupideces creando tópicos interesantes con los miembros del staff por nuestra plataforma preferida, Tuirer . A raíz del estupendo disco homónimo de The Pains of Being Pure at Heart , nuestro trendig topic del día fue el que titula esta entrada. Y en una rápida encuesta, hicimos un breve listado de bandas buenas (y otras muy malas) que tienen nombres más que interesantes. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart [...]
from austin, texas, i love you but i've chosen darkness have an usual band name that fits well. new wave, deep synths, shoegazing bass lines perfect their music into soothing soundscapes. britt daniels of spoon produced their 2003 self-titled debut ep and their album, fear is on our side , was under the influence of ministry's producer paul barker. i love you but i've chosen darkness's style easily blends throughout their work, providing a melancholy sense that lightly translates through catchy soul drenched pop melodies and epic guitar riffs that [...]
Image From Here It's all about putting on the right face. I guess, the point of it all is about saving grace. They wear that face proudly, never fully revealing their inner beliefs. Instead, they hide behind the shield that the face provides. They don't want you to know what is really inside. It's all fake if you ask me. There is no reality to any of it. They go through life so superficially, skimming the surface. Wearing their mask of deceit. And it is so hard to tell what they are feeling [...]

Songs I've been listening to lately that have helped in accepting my loneliness: Laura Marling (like Florence , Kate Nash & Natasha Khan ) Handsome Furs (like awesome, Wolf Parade & Sunset Rubdown) I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness (like Film School , Joy Division & music I should have given a chance a long, long time ago) Laura Marling - Ghosts [...]

The People to Get Excited About if You're Going to SXSW But Would Like Anyway Even if You Weren't Going Mix You're probably wondering what the hell all those letters mean. Kicking off my South By Southwest coverage this year is a massive mix for a massive fest. There's been quite a bit of material I could have covered before the fest officially goes down, and the operative phrase there is "could have." Undoubtedly, it's a gargantuan amount, and the time I've had lately has been minuscule...and I've been lazy. When situations [...]
Selection for Day 3 (March 20): Alela Diane I realised I've been going through a folk phase lately, constantly listening to music by talented acts such as Laura Marling , Laura Gibson and William Elliott Whitmore . Now, there's Alela Diane to add to the list. Her second album has received plenty of accolades in the music circles, and for obvious reasons so. "White As Diamonds" conjures an image of [...]
Below you will find a list of some of our suggestions for bands you should check out at this year's South by Southwest music festival in Austin. There's one listed for each letter of the alphabet, along with an MP3 sample and a show listing for when and where to catch each band. (Note: we've listed solo artists under the letter of their FIRST name and bands with "the" in their title as if there were no "the" simply because it looks better this way.) Please leave your own suggestions for bands to see in Austin [...]
IT'S WEDNESDAY!!! And time for music. I know I promised Ethan's first mash-up...but he is taking his sweet time with it, so who knows when it will be ready...hopefully soon. Now, let's take a gander at what I have for you this wonderful day of the 10th of December. Well...this song is fun. Yeah. Haha. Hate if you want, but I am down with some Whitney Houston sometimes. And because a certain
This is far from breaking news, but Hyrda Head provided some photos of the new 10-inch split from Pelican and These Arms Are Snakes . I was somewhat indifferent about this release — until I saw the irresistibly beautiful packaging and vinyl. If more label folk took cues from Hydra Head on this, then maybe they'd be moving more units. This is going on my birthday vinyl wishlist, which currently includes: David Bazan's [...]
We're still here... supposedly. I don't mean that in an existential way, simply that the first CERN experiment went well and Earth was not black-hole-swallowed. There will be more though, so let's hope everyone at CERN brings their A-game, because I'm totally not in the mood to die. The Decibel Tolls hasn't even been invited to SXSW yet! That has to happen first. However, assuming the Large Hadron Collider functions smoothly, there's still a grab-bag of apocalyptic scenarios out there to garner a breathy "fuuuuuuck" to slip from your lips. [...]
This week we're celebrating our 300th post! Considering 75% of all blogs don't make it past 3 months (we had 85 posts back then), we think this is a pretty big acomplishment to be where we're at - 300 posts in nine months (that's a little more than a post a day if you're doing the math). For this small milestone, we compiled the list of ear-catching songs below. This is no ordinary list. Many of the songs below come from groups we've been following for quite some time and a few [...]
Get your notepad out, this week has some quick hitters that are destined to spice up your music player. Led by The Academy Is and their newest piece, Fast Times at Barrington High , the pop punk boys from Chicago have been gaining speed from album to album. Perhaps the most flexible of the artists releasing this week, is none other than the Swedish soulful indie groove of Lykke Li . Her song "Little Bit" is so darn catchy. For fans of [...]
Les centres commerciaux ne m'ont jamais réussi. Je déteste ces endroits - et je crois que c'est réciproque. L'autre jour, nous avions décidé, Sara et moi, d'acheter un nouveau four, pour changer le tas de merde rouillé et grillé que nous avait laissé le proprio. Nous sommes donc allés, en voiture, dans l'une de ces cathédrales [...]
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly is a recording artist from England. I am not sure how I feel about that band name though. It is attention grabbing and I am a fan of superheroes and long band names (see I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness ). The problem is the name sounds really stupid when you say it aloud. I kind of like his music though. Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager I Love You [...]
