photo: Dan Katayama Oddly captivating and compelling, you won't find a thing wrong with Morning Recordings ' new album, The Welcome Kinetic . It's truly a sound collage in the same way that the sound of your radio alarm clock melds with the musical symphony you're conducting in your dreams, which then blends in with the beat of percolating coffee in the kitchen and the percussion of the garbage collection happening outside your bedroom window. The sounds rouse you from your slumber, and as you rub the [...]

Vorig jaar heb ik het debuutalbum van Annuals de hemel ingeprezen. Nog steeds vind ik Be He Me een geweldig album. Onlangs verscheen het in Nederland. Fileunder : "Dan hoor je het debuutalbum van Annuals en je ontdekt dat zanger en liedjesschrijver Adam Baker van die band pas negentien jaar oud is. Negentien en dan al zulke liedjes kunnen schrijven? Je zou je pen er gefrustreerd bij neer willen gooien." LiveXS: "De creativiteit en diversiteit is zo groot dat er naast de [...]

Annuals covering Where Have You Been Manchester Orchestra covering Brother (Here's the original: Brother-Annuals ) Want a copy? [...]

This sunday The Annuals will be playing with Manchester Orchestra at DC's Rock & Roll hotel . And while I have heard good things about both bands (especially live), i will be unable to attend, as I will probably be unable to walk after I finish running the Marine Corps Marathon earlier that day (wish me luck). What does this mean to you? It means you can win 2 tickets to the show as well as a limited edition 7" from the bands. All you have [...]

Okay, two quick things - because I have had two late nights, which doesn't leave me much time for blogging in the morning - before I head off to work. There are a few shows going on this weekend but I want to bring two to your attention - one tonight and one tomorrow night: First up tonight - for the second night in a row, Kings of Leon , Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Manchester Orchestra [...]
Beyond the terrestrial. . . Never, ever accuse me of not being in touch with my inner wuss (or I'll weep), and this post proves it. Kind of a staff/distaff thing, too, though not necessarily in that order. The hardest-hitting song is by Girl Band, if that tells you anything. Bon weak-end, valued visitors.

The Manchester Orchestra is embarking on a tour soon co-headlining with Annuals. How fitting that they should cover "Brother" by their tourmates! They take the epic aspirations of the original version and strip it down to a simple but pleasant bedroom rock song.

A couple of weeks back I posted some cover songs that I'm sure some of you either loved or hated. It's simply the kind of response that is generated when someone decides to re-imagine a piece of work that is highly respected and/or beloved. With that being said, I'll move onto Annuals and Manchester Orchestra. The two are about to embark on a 20-date co-headling tour together and because of the venture they've decided to release a 7" that features one covering the other. I was overly exciting when I first read about this, as I [...]

Sollten Radiohead ihren Zenit doch dereinst überschreiten, würde ich Annuals als Thronfolger vorschlagen, die mit ihrem letztjährigen Debut "Be He Me" aufhorchen liessen. "Where Have You Been" ist Pop von einem anderen Stern und würde deshalb gut auf "In Rainbows" passen. Die Sechs aus North Carolina haben den Song für eine Split-73 mit ihren Tourgenossen Manchester Orchestra aufgenommen, auf der sie sich gegenseitig covern. Annuals - "Where Have You Been (Die B-Seite gibt's hier )

Georgie James is Laura Burhenn (of Laura Burhenn fame) and John Davis (of Q And Not U , uh... fame). They're crafting some straight up indie pop. It is not Q And Not U-ish at all. That's not a bad thing, per se. You dig? Downloadables: "Need Your Needs" (mp3) "Cake Parade" (mp3) Myspace page is here . Saddle Creek is here . Big Ups to miss s!

the manchester orchestra - wolves at night the manchester orchestra , out of hotlanta, are a young band (teenagers still, mostly) who makes sprawling, epic-seeming rock songs that try to introduce characters & play around with tempo in order to feel "cinematic." (the group's website grasps firmly ahold of that analogy and just won't for th e love of god let go.) they're far more earnest (and less cheeky fun) than another of the teenage rockers, artic monkeys , and less adventurous than the annuals , with whom the manchester [...]
