I sit down with Annie Clark, aka St Vincent , at a hotel, after a day of photos and interviews. It's a couple of months before the release of her third record 'Strange Mercy'. She tucks into a snack from EAT. Anika: I go to EAT for lunch sometimes Annie Clark: Yeah? I have turkey and cheese, with salt and vinegar crisps and a coke. AC: Every day? Not every day. That would be sad. How's your day been? [...]

OH MY GOD IT'S THE SECOND COMING OF ALY & AJ *. Just kidding. Nobody will ever be able to compete with Aly & AJ. But if someone was going to try, it might as well be Destinee & Paris , a fresh teen pop duo who recently seceded from their parent group, the legendary Clique Girlz . This stellar pedigree should be enough, but it doesn't hurt to note that Destinee & Paris are also effortlessly hot (in the way that gorgeous blond sisters so frequently are — see Nervo [...]

We used to post alot of <a href="Dynamo's YouTube virals on TTS back in 2010 largely because he did a mini-series of videos with alot of important British acts. He's gone from strength-to-strength since then with his own show on TV and more crazy business ventures where he gets to showcase his witchcraft magic. It's got to the point with this guy where I'm just lost for words with some of the shit he does. I spent a lot of time one night trying to discover how he does some of the shit. I can [...]

Slow Magic - ◯ C'est exactement le son qu'on attendait de lui, et c'est doublement supérieur au dernier The Field et à Teengirl Fantasy.

New one in from Slow Magic premiered at Speaker Snacks & Magic Teepee the other day. As a part of this release Slow Magic has announced his? her? first show, which will be in Denver at the Goldrush Music Festival . (Click the flier for the artist list, it's pretty sweet). The video is kind of a look into Slow Magic show. Play it loud. Thanks to Smoke Don't Smoke .
First things first: the bassist, one Pete Arensdorf is a near and dear friend of mine and in accordance with the rituals of transparency I must admit this to you. That said if I had audibly stumbled across Magic Leaves by chance I would certainly be thrusting it upon you in a similarly persistent fashion. [...]

I've had Girls' 2nd LP, Father, Son, Holy Ghost , on repeat since last weekend. I knew after hearing the single, 'Vomit', that it wouldn't be a sophomore slump, but I wasn't expecting all eleven cuts to be of a similarly uniform quality. Father, Son, Holy Ghost doesn't have the extreme polarity of Album , their debut, but a devotion to songwriting and slightly warmer production values make for an equal if not superior listening experience. If the sonic point of reference on Album was Joe Strummer, the muse on [...]
Earlier this month, we heard from the U.K.'s Sam McGarrigle when he offered his latest project as Gross Magic, Teen Jamz , for streaming. And at that time, it seemed like the genre-spanning, wholly enjoyable EP would only make its way to U.S. shores via digital retailers. While that might be partially true, it turns out that McGarrigle was working on signing a deal with Fat Possum, which he announced today. The Oxford, Miss.-based label will release physical copies of Teen Jamz in October, just in time for McGarrigle's three scheduled gigs in New York. [...]

Anyways, along with [...]
The Slip'n'Slide ::: photo by Josh Lovseth At Doe Bay Fest 2011, probably the most overused word, by everyone, was "magic." At the risk of beating a dead horse I've titled this review with the word, because to our minds at the far end of nowhere, the magic of happenstance and circumstance really did manifest time [...]

My friend Nick Hornby once wrote something very true and marvelous about a central challenge of human-ness: " Keeping in touch with the things that help us feel alive – music, books, movies, even the theatre, if, mysteriously, you are that way inclined – becomes a battle, and one that many of us lose, as we get older. " We won that battle this past weekend, all weekend long, at the Doe Bay Fest 2011 : The Full Moon Festival . With a few hundred other folks for 4 days [...]
