The Tree Ring @ San Diego Women's Club by Natalie Kardos . The Tree Ring top my list of top song obsessions for 2011. Frontman Joel P West also appears on the list. Song obsessions are those songs that your brain picks for you, those ear worms that get stuck in your head and have you singing them to yourself or going back to hit repeat on your ipod. I like the idea of reporting what my brain got stuck on each year. Here's the list of the songs that were stuck in [...]

Happy holidays, dudes and dudettes! Hope you got everything you wished for and downed copious amounts of egg nog. Now, on to more important stuff than family gatherings and gift exchanges....live music! Naturally, there are ton of great shows going on this week in NYC as we lead up to New Year's Eve, including some multi-night holiday runs, some late-night throwdowns, and plenty of NYE parties that don't involve watching a ball drop in 10-degree weather.
Matt & Kim é uma dupla nova-iorquina que faz um dance punk sensacional. Desde o seu primeiro álbum de 2006, acompanho os ótimos lançamentos deles. Em novembro desse ano, lançaram seu terceiro disco, "Sidewalks", que ficou muito bom. Nele, as influências do hip-hop estão mais nítidas, mas as batidas dançantes características continuam presentes, para o bem dos fãs. Não deixem de ouvir "Block After Block", "I'm a Goner" e o primeiro single, lançado ainda no fim do ano passado, "Cameras", que disponibilizo aqui. Um feliz natal a todos! Obrigado por seguirem prestigiando o site! [...]
Best of 2011: (Some of the things on this list might have been created earlier than 2011, but being that I live in my own little shmience bubble, 2011 is when their existence became known to me.) Best websites of 2011 : Jukesy.com – Jukesy.com is a website that pubs itself as a mash-up between last.fm and youtube. The user searches for a band, an album, or a song, and Jukesy combs through the two websites and pulls up all relevant material. You can then create a playlist [...]

App loading... I thought it'd be worth it to see how interested all my local readers are in seeing another show on me. I've arranged a couple of tickets to see Matt & Kim and would love to give them to you. A nice night with husband / wife Matt & Kim and their synth punk sound should do you good. The sweep runs until 12/6... you can enter as many times as you like. Twitter / Facebook shares get you extra entries so share this as [...]
I can't help but think of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas every time I listen to Matt & Kim's "Good Old Fashion Nightmare." It's so light-heartedly eerie, so catchy yet creepy. The pint-sized husband and wife duo bring their inexhaustible energy to this tune, which is super distinctive thanks to its simple keyboard-strings-drum soundscape. Their comparison of 'lost teeth' to 'white jewels' and 'train yards' to 'bone yards' are a little out of left field, but just right for the cold and dark days of autumn-winter. Put it on your ipod next time you take a walk through [...]
The trick-or-treaters haven't even hit the doorstep and we've had enough of Halloween already. Or maybe we're just grumpy because we missed the awesome KCRW Masquerade because of a weekend warrior-related injury. Anyway, here are three Day of the Dead-appropriate videos (and a download) for your sack of candy: Indie stalwarts Superchunk have long had an affection for the Misfits — buried somewhere in their archives is a 10-year-old live version of "Horror Business." Today they released a cover of "Where Eagles [...]
Fresh off the back of a successful nationwide tour Matt & Kim have just announced a special New Years Eve show. The Brooklyn mischief makers will be playing at the Hammersmith Ballroom on December 31st for what is set to be an electrifying way to end the year and usher in 2012. For those of you who are interested tickets are available [...]
MUTEMATH's highly energized, blues-infused set painted the picture of what Florida's DeLuna Festival has begun to look like. In support of their new album, Odd Soul , the New Orleans quartet took the stage late Sunday evening with a sharp look and a new member, smiling throughout each song and filling the Sunshine State's cooling air with their signature sound. Hard hitting, head nodding tracks like "Odd Soul" and "Blood Pressure" moved the Pensacola crowd, who continued to dance barefoot in the sand as the sun took flight. It wasn't Linkin Park - the festival's final headliner [...]
Se ontem um dos grandes festivais do Brasil sofreu uma grande baixa no mundo do indie-pop, com o cancelamento de Peter, Bjorn & John no Planeta Terra, hoje, seu principal concorrente adiciona um bom elo do gênero à sua programação. O ecofestival SWU acaba de confirmar a presença da dupla Matt & Kim no seu já extenso line-up, assim como o duo nacional Miranda Kassin e André Frateschi . Essas atrações estão confirmadas para o pequeno New Stage, no dia 12, que também receberá Odd Future e Copacabana Club . [...]
Between October 13th and 16th, DeLuna Fest 2011 hits the beautiful shores of Pensacola Beach, FL for a weekend of music from big-name acts like The Shins, Weezer, Cake, Jane's Addiction, Cut Copy, Big Boi, Matt & Kim, Girl Talk, Cold War Kids, Manchester Orchestra, The Sounds, Airborne Toxic Event, New Pornographers, Stars, Wanda Jackson, Bettye LaVette, Kermit Ruffins, and more bands than there is sand on a beach. If spending a cold October weekend basking in the sun at the "first resort destination festival" in the country sounds like a welcomed respite, then you're in luck: [...]
Meera's Music Monday Madness is back from its month-long hiatus, finally. However, to mock the very witty creator and sarcastic leader of 1146 miles (Ian), it's not like I'm syndicated or anything…yet. So what's been going on in the past month? So much randomness that it all just seems like nothing. Know the feeling? Summer ended a few weeks ago, what a shame. Though I did manage to end the summer the way I started it, with a Bright Eyes show followed by the Virgin Mobile Free Fest the next weekend. All in all, I believe [...]
Blink 182 has released the video for the track, "Heart's All Gone" from their recently released Neighborhoods . Directed by Jason Bergh, the video showcases the band performing the track during a recent stop on the Honda Civic Tour. Neighborhoods is the highly anticipated latest album by the veteran pop-punk band and has satisfied many fans' expectations. Blink 182 is currently on the final stretch of the Civic Tour with My Chemical Romance and Matt & Kim.
Obnoxious heat and one blazing, pestering sun couldn't stop the mini-pop rock festival that is the "Honda Civic Tour" from coming to West Palm Beach, FL. Still a ways out, and a pain in the ass in terms of location, the Cruzan Amphitheater housed thousands of fans, all hungry to see Matt & Kim , My Chemical Romance , and one reunited (and reinvigorated) Blink-182 . Without a moment's notice, Brooklyn's own Matt & Kim hit the stage in signature fashion, which is to say: "Cue the anthemic music. Place wild grin on Kim behind [...]
