When I first heard about the possibility of this tour materializing a few weeks ago, I was almost flabbergasted. This might as well be titled the "Buzzgrinder Broke Us Tour." It's not that we're getting big heads around here. I mean, nobody really "breaks" a band these days anymore. Especially a music blog with bad taste like us. It's just that this is unprecedented. Three bands that we were way ahead of the curve on - Manchester Orchestra , Fun and Winston Audio [...]
Just got back from the DR, which (thankfully or not) means we can retire the 32ft Down concept. I might bring it back in April or over the summer when I am 90% sure I am moving to Bahrain to pursue petroleum speculation as a full-time career. That is 95% a joke.I walked in the door and in my mailbox was the new Manchester Orchestra record. I have loved this band since 2007 when, ostensibly to

The only reason I've ever listened to Manchester Orchestra is because I was at some party a couple of years ago and met some kid and found out he was into The Mountain Goats so we talked about music for like an hour. I don't remember much from that conversation other than he liked The Mountain Goats and recommended Manchester Orchestra. Good recommendation. Here is a song from Manchester Orchestra's Mean Everything To Nothing, coming out in April. "We wanted our album to sound as emotionally dark as 'Pinkerton' as fuzzy as 'In the [...]

New Manchester Orchestra track from the album, Mean Everything To Nothing , which is scheduled to be released in April. I am loving this song! I've Got Friends by Manchester Orchestra

Atlanta's own Manchester Orchestra is on its way to a brilliant year. Finally, the emo-punk quintet will be releasing their long awaited follow up to 2006's I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child . Though to the band's credit, it's not like they've been lounging around, acting like lazy rock stars, all dried out of new material. It's hard for a band to find studio time when they're playing over two hundred shows, shelling out EPs, and making impromptu festival appearances (including Lollapalooza, where we snagged an interview out of 'em last year). [...]

We have Music Video Monday, Remix Wednesday, and now joining the fun, 3 Song Thursday, which is a combination of our 2 favorite things.

It will be a glorious fun time, something that will help you fight [...]
