We hear shades of The Flaming Lips' deep-space ennui present in "Whiskey", the latest from Brooklyn quintet Lowry , who begin their eight week residency at Williamsburg's Spike Hill this evening. At a time when the label "indie" has blurred to include major label heavy hitters like Coldplay (much like the 90s "alternative" came to include Sheryl Crow), it's incredibly refreshing to hear a group hewing so perilously close to the genre's trappings while remaining so vitally un-commercial sounding- the sentiment "you've got to grow up sometime" isn't a particularly marketable one, especially off Bedford [...]

We Ate The Machine by Polysics At first I thought Polysics were from Mars. Then I realized, no, Mars is close enough that the average joe has a minimal understanding of it. Polysics are from a garage on Themisto , hidden behind Jupiter from our prying eyes and telescopes, under an alien flag of Devo album sleeves, making records that take at least one full listen just to orientate yourself to their world. It's worth the effort - once you pierce the veil of their seeming foreign musical [...]

I received word today that one band I've really been impressed with lately (that's Lowry ) is covering one of my favorite '80s song (that's "Africa") for the new Guilt By Association collection . Everyone should scoot over to the band's MySpace page and have a listen. It's a fabulous version, taking a synth heavy anthem and redoing it Lowry style - which is to say they make it beautiful and intimate. I'm going to end up buying the album just for this one track, I can tell already. This also [...]

New Lowry music video!
Here is a new music video from Lowry. It's nice and simple, and it was made for $99. While, on the one hand I like the premise of low-budget music videos, I do have to say that I do get a little defensive about things like this as an aspiring filmmaker - I think everyone, no matter that they have less experience than the big-time music video makers, deserves to be paid appropriately for their

$99 Music Videos Does What It Sounds Like
There's this new thing called $99 Music Videos , and if you can read the name, well... you can figure out what they're all about. But just in case you don't quite get it yet: $99 Music Videos is an independent music channel of music videos, all made for $99 or less. Most musicians and filmmakers are unable to spend thousands of dollars on a music video. But in the age of digital filmmaking, you no longer need those kinds of budgets. In fact, amazing original music videos are being made for the web every [...]

Best of 2008
In the spirit of the flurry of year-end lists, here are some of the best covers of the year. Needless to say, too many great covers came out this year for me to claim this as any definitive set, especially because I avoided posting songs I've posted before (otherwise there'd probably be a Disturbia cover here). But here are ten new covers that haven't come off the iPod yet. The Gaslight Anthem - God's Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash) Anchorless Records just released a set of quasi-punk Cash [...]
