The Good: Bum Kon - "Drunken Sex Sucks"; I totally don't agree with the sentiments in this song. I happen to think drunken sex is a great old time, but I'm not gonna argue with the furious punk sounds on the track. Fast paced, blistering music, and almost impossible to understand lyrics make this song feel like and old school punk anthem. I like that idea and I like this song. Grade: B Ted Leo

Kick-starting this first week of June, we have what is possibly the best week of album releases so far this year. I almost didn't bother to post this week's Graboid, since I just haven't felt like writing anything lately. But, it's times like these that just makes you excited about music, and it was just the thing I needed to hopefully get things back into motion here on the blog. Since I was actually listening to Shearwater's Rook as I was compiling this post, I figure it would be best to mention [...]
Matador Records ' newest playthings, Jaguar Love , consist of Johnny Whitney and Cody Votolato formerly of Blood Brothers , and J Clark of Pretty Girls Make Graves . It's the Northwest version of Crosby, Stills & Nash! Except that instead of acoustic ballads about free love, they play frenzied shrieking indie rock songs about hurt feelings and trouble. There were things I liked about both Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves, as well as a few things I didn't like about either band. Fortunately, it seems those elements didn't make [...]

Jaguar Love , containing members of recently defunct northwest bands, The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves, have posted a track from their debut full length Take Me To The Sea . The track, "Bats over the Pacific Ocean," was posted in the beginning of April, but I just found it buried on my desktop yesterday and gave it a spin. This song is fucking fantastic! It's super catchy and Johnny Whitney's unique vocals sound great. Even if you were not a fan of his work in The Blood Brothers, I recommend you check this song [...]
From the ashes of the Seattle group Blood Brothers rises Jaguar Love . They'll be capping off a west coast tour at Neumos next Wednesday June 4 by headlining an all Seattle bill, with Nazca Lines and Das Llamas warming up the crowd. In their short existence they've impressed enough to have already landed an opening spot for Queens of the Stone Age at the Paramount and are now headlining Neumos, all of which I'd say is pretty freakin' rad for a band less than a year old. For the last [...]

Welcome to this week's edition of the Radio Exile mp3 Mixtape . Just the other day, I was discussing my love for our annual summer pilgrimage to Coney Island for the Siren Music Festival [ link ] so I find it fairly appropriate that we bring to you a specially themed mixtape this week. For those that haven't been to this Village Voice sponsored slice of Heaven, shame on you. Seriously, it's a free concert for crying out loud and with a chance to listen to some indie music's biggest names [...]
Jaguar Love "Bats Over The Pacific Ocean" - From the sound of it, Jaguar Love seems to be the Make -Up to the Blood Brothers' Nation of Ulysses. Johnny Whitney's distinct voice remains at the core of both bands, but in the context of Jaguar Love's less aggro, more groovy (though no less urgent) music, he's free to stretch himself beyond the confines of perpetual hysteria. Since Whitney's voice is such a bold, overpowering thing, it's not immediately apparent that "Bats Over The Pacific Ocean" is actually a duet, but his performance is shadowed by another, [...]
