This will be my last post before my end of the year picks, which are going to be done in a series of 4 or 5 posts. We're going to start with some fun stuff and then get down to business for the top 20 albums of the year, but for now let's just enjoy this. Locksley is a Madison, WI turned Brooklyn-based quartet that will remind you of The Beatles. It's 70's light-hearted rock with a modern bite. With free-flowing, wilting vocals and jangly (you'll see this adjective later on....it's [...]
Locksley's a new favorite. This four piece band from Brooklyn plays positive, upbeat songs that will make you think of the "Hard Day's Night" album by The Beatles. Get used to these guys - 2007 will undoubtedly be a huge year for them. They will be playing Mercury Lounge at 9 on December 11th. Might be the last time you can catch them in a venue that small. Add this Band on Myspace [...]
Dear Diary, My head hurts today. My head hurts, and Bennys is taking an eternity and a half to deliver my chicken burrito lunch special. Bitch moan. But I am in a surprisingly good mood today too. Why, you ask? because, diary, I saw an amazing band last night and now have the biggest crush in the world on them. They are called Locksley , and they could easily be described as a young, cute, Beatles second-coming. From start to finish, their set at Avalon (ugh, friggin avalon) completely rocked, and they had girls [...]
There is currently a stack of cds in my room waiting for me to listen to them. Everything from punk to neo-punk. I look at this stack and cringe. When in the hell will I get the time to listen to all of this? A few days ago, I picked up one of those cds and popped it in the player to listen as I changed to go out that night. Only a few notes into the first song, I turned back to my stereo in surprise. This was good. Not merely passable good, but GOOD GOOD. A [...]
Okay, this could be the most entertaining site I've come across in a while. Gizoogle.com will translate any website into "jive" (and yes, the silver rims spin on the real page header). So for example, my recent post on Tom Luce becomes the following: "...A fizzy gutted tha apartment of lead wannabe gangsta Tom Luce (izzy is truly one of tha funky assst & sincerest guys you'll meet) cuz I put gangsta rap on tha map. They is appear'n at a [...]
It's been a wacky couple of days and I'm a little emotionally spent from being deemed the negative center of the blogosphere. Thanks to those that have stuck with MOKB. I really appreciate it. I don't have much planned for today, so I'll just point you to some of the tunes I've been into today and some of the goodness I've found around the web. My team and I built a new website for my
It's fitting that Locksley's new album is entitled, Don't Make Me Wait. Fitting, since it's been a long time coming. Combining bits of their last EP, their MTV theme song and some new work, this is the album a lot of people have been waiting for. But was it worth ...
Now this find is thanks to Matt at YANP. Locksley are a four-piece from Brooklyn, and since I first heard about them, they've gone and done rather big things - Don't Make Me Wait was used for Starz' promo, She Does prompted play on commercials. Their newest track Why Not Me is set for play on a new MTV show (my guess title alone, is hrm another dating show(?)). So why all the popularity? I've
While listening to the Lovely Feather's Frantic, I wondered what it is that would make an artist come to the conclusion that all that's needed to complete a song is a good "OoOo" chorus of some sort. All the pondering eventually led me to go out and just find these elusive "OoO" songs, and after quite some time and a bit of work, I managed to collar this bunch. After all the work it took, I realized the rarity of all these "oOo" songs, yet just about every time a song implements an "OoO", the finished song turns out great. [...]
