Party City Zetado I don't really know much of anything about these guys. The internet isn't too friendly to them (or vice versa based on their main website ). I can't even remember where I originally heard them, but they've been on the list for posting for some time now. They're a 9-piece from Athens, Ga and released their latest album, Lets Give 'Em Something To Talk About . The LP [...]
Well, it's not really free so much as it is pay-what-you-want; it's just that "free" is going to get so many more people to check it out. Je Suis France's new album Let's Give Em Something To Talk About is out now on Bandcamp. They also have some really unique pricing options to reward those [...]

For a limited time, the folks at Antenna Farm Records are offering up a free digital download of Euphoria Is All We Know . This release celebrates the local label's history by featuring songs from the (mostly) Bay Area-based artists that have graced Antenna Farm's roster since 2003, including Papercuts , the Botticellis , Bart Davenport , and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone . More information, tracklist, and MP3 after the jump. The title of this compilation (presumably) comes from the opening lyric [...]
I'm sitting here in my media bunker at Austin's Top Notch taking in the music and drunken revelry of South By Southwest over a plate of world-famous fried chicken and onion rings. Just kidding. I'm actually sitting on my couch taking in the street noise with a PB&J ... on toast. Am I still sexy? If I were at SXSW, I'd be in line to see Still Flyin' , the 75-member San Fran HAMMJAMM band fronted by Sean Rawls (Masters of the Hemisphere and Je Suis France ) [...]
What is there to do on a Sunday? I get home from work (after putting in almost two hours of overtime) and everyone's gone to Sunset Junction to hear shitty bands and eat/drink price-gouged food/drinks. It's dead quiet in the apartment, there's no furniture or anything here since the old roommates moved out, and I'm contemplating laying on the floor and closing my eyes for a while. Unfortunately, the weird bug bites on my ankles make it so I'm not interested in putting my face anywhere near the carpets, at least not until we're certain there isn't anything [...]
I know it's a bit late, but check out Swan Fungus' 106 Sunday Mixtape. It should get me back into the swing of things. Tracks: 1. Mogwai - Batcat - (buy this album) 2. Alice Cooper - [...]
Kenneth Ellen Parcell, the perpetually cheerful NBC page from 30 Rock, opens up to this week's EW about the top ten albums that warm his Georgia-reared heart. ("Midnight Train to Georgia" didn't make the list, but The Golden Girls theme pops up twice!) Here's Kenneth's top ten with his hilarious ...

not really. je suis france, however.... je suis france is an amazing rock band from the lovely athens, georgia. its 9 members make anything from a loud wall of psychy-influenced sound to still loud rock anthems. the guitars are catchy (they remind me of sonic youth's daydream nation and goo as well...sonic youth in general [...]
It's Tuesday. We're almost halfway through the work-week. Professionals everywhere look to tomorrow as the day on which they're "over the hump," and this weekend seems closer than last weekend. Meanwhile, their work is beginning to suffer due to a lack of concentration. Maybe it's the absence of Adderall in their daily pill regimen, but it could also be that they've forgotten the ten simple steps for maintaining a healthy relationship with their jobs. No worries, the geniuses at MSN and Career Builder.com have come up with a brilliant list of the Ten Things You [...]
because it's the end of the year & all anyone seems to care about are lists, i thought i'd make another one...here are thirty of my favorite songs released in 2007...on a given day, a few of the titles might change, & to make things easier for myself (& to avoid reposting mp3s) i excluded tracks from my ten favorite albums of the year, but for the most part these are the songs i enjoyed most this year...they're listed below in alphabetical order, but if i had to pick my absolute favorite of the group, it would probably be jim [...]
This one has to be quick because I have a busy afternoon and evening. Whatever. Here's the news: - American kids are dumber than dirt, or so this piece in SFGate says. The high school teacher who provides quotes from the article isn't ashamed to call his students "overprotected and wussified," and state that they "don't spend enough time outdoors and don't get any real exercise, and therefore can't, say, identify basic plants, or handle a tool, or build, well, anything at all." Although I haven't written about it recently, talking about the dumbing-down of America was a [...]
So, tonight I'll be down at the Drunken Unicorn catching some killer tunes and you should come. I've been wanting to check out Je Suis France for a while now so i'm excited. Some tracks to preview: Je Suis France : Afrikan Majik : Whalebone Cassavetes : Funny Story : My Heart Your Beat [...]
Could this be an ode to Henry Shefflin or perhaps Colm Cooper? Probably not because its makers Je Suis France are from faraway Athens (Georgia, U.S.) where hurling probably has more to do with excessive backstage drinking rather than an Irish field game. 'Afrikan Majik' is Je Suis France's third album and was made with contributions from all of the bands 9 members. 'Wizard of Points' is
Swelling to nine members, Je Sui France delivers a scattershot third effort of impressive ambition yet underwhelming impact.
Drunk Covers: Part I in an ongoing series. This track is included on a free MP3 compilation you get if you buy Afrikan Magik direct from Antenna Farm .
The day after a holiday (or the Grammys) is usually a wasteland for new releases, but there's still some worth checking out this week. The latest releases from Richard Thompson , Juliana Hatfield and Je Suis France rank in order from great to interesting. Also: releases from alterna-legends Perry Farrell (with his Satellite Party ) and Smashing Pumpkins (single.) Playlist: New Releases 05.29.07 ------------------------------ ---------------- Album: Richard Thompson - Sweet Warrior [...]
Ola Podrida did a brief interview and played some songs earlier this week on PRI's Fair Game with Faith Salie (mp3) Bright Eyes in the Big City, Sporting a Prada Suit and a Hot Album (New York Times) Official trailer for Michael Moore's upcoming documentary, Sicko (AOL) Al Gore on the Daily Show (video) This Is Your Life (and How You Tell It) [...]
Je Suis France takes surrounds itself with as much myth and humor as the acts many might suggest it sounds like. The group's off kilter experimentalist Ween-ish melodies roll hand in hand with its peculiar history. With the group's Mind Zappa release it attempted to construct renditions of Frank Zappa songs that the band had never before heard using only tabs. The band's members jokingly call each other names straight out of The Big Book of Bad Norwegian Death Metal Names like Iceberg, The Darkness and Crogers. There's roughly ten years of this [...]
