Chock full of all of the summery shimmer of Belle & Sebastian and the pomp and glory of Jens Lekman , Gary Olson and his band The Ladybug Transistor return to form with "Three Days From Now", a could-have-been Bacharach or even Brian Wilson-penned chamber pop diddy layered with acoustic strums, strings and call-and-response choruses. Fans of Apples in Stereo or the Polyphonic Spree will also find themselves falling time and time again in love with this band. Those in the culture of me's area can get a chance to see [...]
My apologies for the delay in this week's live music post... between the much-improved weather, lots of movies at the just-finished 2007 Independent Film Festival of Boston, and general work business, well, ain't got time to blog. So this could be both late and brief, but no less worthwhile... Of the many, many times I've seen The Essex Green on stage, I can say with all honesty that their

New Ladybug Transistor album out June 5 on Merge. Until then, here's a preview of it thanks to Optical Atlas. MP3: Ladybug Transistor - Always on the Telephone Funny that I just mentioned Grindhouse's soundtrack, because until the vocals kick in, "Always on the Telephone" sounds like the kind of driving alone ...
The sixth album by The Ladybug Transistor , Can't Wait Another Day , essentially offers phase three in the band's evolution, previewed in last fall's Here Comes the Rain EP. The lineup they've held onto since 1999's The Albemarle Sound has shifted, most notably with the loss of Sasha Bell, who is now focusing her singing/songwriting with The Essex Green . But lead singer Gary Olson has expanded his band to become a virtual creative collective of its own. You will find among these twelve tracks longtime Ladybugs [...]
My new New York pal Red Squirrel got tagged by one of her blogmates, the sum of which is that the tagged has to reveal six weird things about themselves. Having now revealed to the world her love of cutesy t-shirts with pictures of animals, which means she can no longer leave Brooklyn and emerge from the subway in the hipper neck of Greenwich Village (although we all know that at least 66% of
Cincinnati 13, Baltimore 7 Houshamazilli ("Championship!" - Sorry, that just doesn't get old for me.) came up big on a 40-yard flea flicker trick play and helped get the Bengals back into their divisional playoff mix. The Bengals O did just enough against the tough Baltimore D and the Bengals defense has also been pretty great of late. They've allowed only seven points in their last two games. Baltimore better be able to generate more offense against teams like the Bengals, Chargers & Colts or they won't make it far in [...]
Daniela Rossell - Untitled [RicasYFamosas: PaulinaOnHerFathersDesk] (2000) I found out today that Phillip Morris, convicted corporate racketeer , profits off my daily breakfast of Grape Nuts, the Philadelphia cream cheese on my bagel, my constant snacking on Cheese Nips, my occasional "ethical" statement of choosing Boca Burgers over factory-raised animals, and my nostaligia-fueled bias towars Miracle Whip. The operative word here is "choice" and the operative concern is how impossible it is to make choices in daily life without supporting [...]

November 1 marks the release of The Ladybug Transistor 's new EP, Here Comes the Rain , which features the band covering songs by Grin, Trader Horne, John Cale , and Kevin Ayers. Gary Olson's Brooklyn-based band is fond of covering some of their favorite artists, so this week our MP3 spotlight falls on a classic Ladybug Transistor cover: "Galveston," the Glen Campbell number. It appeared on a split 7-inch with Of Montreal 's "Girl from New York: Volume 12" (which is available on their Big Oil [...]
