Today is September the 11th. 10 years ago, a bunch of small-minded and sexually inadequate sociopaths decided to attack this country and killed a lot innocent people inspired by their backwards religious ideals. This is pretty much the mutually accepted opinion of everyone reading this. BUT what isn't agreed upon is what happened at the ceremony in New York city this morning... James Taylor performed his song Close Your Eyes on his acoustic guitar for the crowd. Why? Because people are lazy and haven't paid serious attention to singer/songwriters for the last 30 years. Thus, if [...]
Words by Rick Moslen We at Draw Us Lines care! You spend summer days watching friends swim, picnic, and tan in the happy sun while you remain at home with a broken heart from a lost relationship crumbled into yesterday's rotting garbage. Hang in there-you'll make it through this. To prove our greatest concern, let's write a prescription for your sad soul: a break-up mix! The only music mix more meaningful than an "I think I really dig you" compilation is an "I think I hate your fucking guts" mix. [...]

Before I get on with my usual reviews of new records, something caught my attention. The other night on The Daily Show , Foo Fighters performed 2 songs from their new album. Now, most people would see this and say one of two things: 1) Hey, a new Foo Fighters album? Awesome! Or 2) Foo Fighters ? Aren't those guys dead yet ? Then theres the crowd of people that wonder something else entirely: Nate Mendel's still with Foo Fighters ? I wonder what the other half of [...]
WARNING: non-metal below!!! One San Francisco Summer day in Los Angeles some eleventy years ago, this guy wandered into Amoeba Music in search of new sounds. Have you ever been to Amoeba? This "chain" of record stores (there are two in the Bay area and one in L.A.) seems to defy the impossible - it's [...]
Great song & music video from Jeremy Enigk from Washington, US. Reminds me of Sigur Ros &/or Mumford & Sons soul-surfer : Jeremy Enigk | Mind Idea
Jeremy Enigk - Been Here Before "Those diamond days A thousand strands of sunlight in her eyes." I am not sure if I completely understand the meaning behind this tune, but it is so beautiful to me. I hadn't listened to Sunny Day Real Estate really, so I never knew of Jeremy Enigk 'til I heard this song, but it is genius to me. If you enjoyed that track, here are few others that might also tickle your fancy… The Fire Theft - Heaven [...]
For all the records that August and September 2010 have brought us so far, none have been more noteworthy than those I bring you today. I'm highlighting a few bands that I have some history with as well as a couple of newcomers. I won't bore you with the details just yet, but lets just say it didn't turn out as nicely as I would have hoped in all cases. In fact, emotions range from absolute disgust to positively pleased. And we're walking... Les Savy Fav: Root For Ruin - [...]
These were the times I was walking into the neighborhood barefoot in the middle of the night. These were the times I was hiding in the calla lilies and hoping no one would find me. These were the times I was practicing how to quietly disappear.
Photography by Me ! Well friends, gotta head up to good ol' New York today, pop in, hit a trade show all day, get to the hotel, work on work emails, if there's anything left in me, go to a Wolf Parade show , get up the next morning, hit the trade show again, then fly back home tomorrow night! OOF! Busy two days!!! So, not sure of the posting situation here over that time, BUT wanted to leave you with a little something that was [...]

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Austin's Love at 20 is comprised of several members who've been making a name for themselves for quite some time (I remember drummer Mark Toohey as the man behind the kit for Lucidus in 99). Such backgrounds allow the group to bring an amalgam of influences to make a creative debut that's as sharp as the cover art for Time to Begin would suggest. Oddly, the band claim to [...]

Kids have been writing loud rock songs with pretty parts since at least the 1960s-Pink Floyd, Genesis and King Crimson all blended rock with classical instrumentation and a dose of psychedelia. Then came bands like Queen-need we discuss "Bohemian Rhapsody"? We needn't. Orchestral, cinematic rock has enjoyed a revival in the past few years: Symphonies are opening their doors for all ages shows, Peter Gabriel released a cover album (David Bowie, Bon Iver, Arcade Fire) backed by a full orchestra, The Dodos are opening for the Magik*Magik Orchestra . Or is it the [...]
All right, Pete Wentz. Time to get down on your knees and apologize for everything you did to sully the "emo" name, because the Saviors are returning: Sunny Day Real Estate start work on a new album in May. How did we find out? The way we figure out everything lately... Twitter. This afternoon, radio DJ Marco Williams of KEXP tweeted : "Great news today. Just got an email from Nate [Mendel] from Sunny Day Real Estate/Foo Fighters… SDRE is recording A NEW RECORD IN MAY !!" Fans got an [...]
Fire Zuave Recommended if you like: Of Montreal, The Decemberists, Neutral Milk Hotel Starving Like a Pack of Wolves...

photo by steven robbins In case some of you don't know, my brother has recently joined the Coast Guard and gotten stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. While your immediate reaction may be, "Holy Cow! That is awesome!"; since Steve has been stationed in Hawaii, he has bought a broken moped, had surgery on his big toe, and he is away from family. To be fair, he's exploring a place that everyone that isn't there, wishes they were. So to keep him company and in hopes it will make him feel better, I've made a little mixtape with [...]
You may notice a few differences between this list and the album list. I don't feel I need to justify that due to the distinct difference between a song and a full album. These are the songs that I still listen to on repeat; they made me laugh, tear up, dance, think, and morph my own tastes into what they are today. So here in no particular order is my Favorite Songs of the Decade. Picking a favorite song is like picking a favorite child, it changes depending on your mood... ___ [Audio clip: view full [...]
Like most people, I didn't exactly have the best taste of music right away. In fact it took a better part of this decade to figure out I needed to re-evaluate my tastes. I had to let go of my safety harnesses and start listening to music that wasn't in my comfort zone. A decade ago I was 16 yrs old...so back then I was listening to angry rock music and angry techno music. Basically I was listening to nothing but Deftones and Aphex Twin. While both amazing, no one can live solely on cheeseburgers and fries (as much as [...]
