Late spring is such a raw and wet time of digging out from under the ice and (maybe) melting snow (not this week though, in Colorado). There is something about the world that seems undressed, on the verge of new, and full of promise. It is as if all of nature around me is living that wonderful Ryan Adams lyric " precious little thing / with eyes that dance around without their clothes ." I know this is late-ish, but I'm gonna call April a wash and declare it not too late to salvage this spring. Some [...]
One time Matt Pond PA called me an alcoholic. This is true. It really did happen. I was sort of insulted by it but perhaps that is mainly because it seemed to hit too close to home! Well sort of. I mean I guess I am worried about drinking too much but I do not feel like I am an alcoholic or anything really. Anyway this is about Matt Pond PA. And really only tangentially about my drinking... So Matt Pond PA has released a new album. I am listening [...]
I must be getting old. It seemed everyone in the crowd at this show was about 15 years old. They weren't checking ID's, so maybe? Matt Pond PA was the opening band to Jukebox The Ghost, which also made me feel old, because dude's been around forever! Matt Pond PA I came in to the last two songs of his set. His voice is crystal clear, and pitch perfect. Matt Pond PA has been around since 1998, and has cranked out 8 LPs and 8 EPs, it was a little bit confusing to see him opening [...]

Watch: "Love To Get Used" Listen: "Love To Get Used" via SoundCloud On Wednesday, VEVO premiered the official video for Matt Pond's "Love To Get Used." The video was directed by John Deeb and is the first in series of videos from the new album. Matt Pond said, "True love can be both transcendent and torturous. Open, exposed, interrogated and consumed, 'Love To Get Used' runs down the road of dark passion, all the way through to rapturous release." "Love To Get Used" is the lead single from [...]

When Matt Pond dropped the “PA” in his name, it was largely symbolic. After nearly a decade as Matt Pond PA, the group has been a revolving-door of members, with the exception of main collaborator Chris Hansen. Pond’s new solo record makes clear the extent to which he’s been the driving force behind the sound attached to the moniker. The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hands runs in succession to Pond’s previous work, with the exception of a few peppier tracks. Most songs comfortably fit into a category I maybe unfairly have [...]
You'd be hard pressed to find a band that's as endearingly goofy and earnest onstage as Brooklyn-via-Philly trio Jukebox The Ghost. The group's live show is a mix of their own expertly-crafted, indie pop tunes and interludes where you might hear everything from the Fine Young Cannibals "She Drives Me Crazy" to the ubiquitous "Twist [...]
"For an album that so proudly champions freedom, it’s content is disappointingly stifling..." Matt Pond | The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand You’ve gotta hand it to Matt Pond, ten albums and nine EPs over fourteen years is no mean feat. What’s even more impressive is that the Philadelphia-via-Brooklyn band are still able to push their inoffensive brand of lo-fi indie after all this time. Singer songwriter Pond has worked with Neko Case, Coldplay producer John O'Mahoney and even attempted an Oasis cover but hasn’t moved from his position as that acoustic guy who [...]
Matt Pond PA: The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand - The title of Matt Pond PA’s new album may be a mouthful, but don’t let that distract you. The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand is, in a word, resplendent. Matt Pond PA was formed in Philadelphia by singer-songwriter Matt Pond . He is the only consistent member, and has been collaborating with numerous musicians since 1998. He has regularly released records since then, and The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand is one of the best to date. [...]
Matt Pond (minus the PA) rides solo on his purest record yet, The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand.
Now that we’ve reached February, we’re hitting the ground running with lots of releases. The rule of thumb is, the closer we get to SXSW (March 8-17), the more ...

This certainly isn't a week to slack off on your listening homework - the rock and pop presented here is nothing short of righteous. Be sure to give each record a listen because you might find a new favorite or even re-discover an old one. UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA [...]
matt pond PA , een van de lievelingetjes van Alankomaat , is niet meer. Na bijna tien jaar is het gewoon Matt Pond. En Matt heeft voor een ander label gekozen: BMG . 5 februari verschijnt daar The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand. Dat is wel iets langer dan we van Matt gewend zijn... En is er muzikaal gezien nog iets veranderd? Afgaande op de eerste single een beetje. Iets gladder, uptempo, minder dromerig. Hier is de video van Love To Get Used: [...]

Matt Pond Okay, so I might as well make it three while I'm at it. Proving that I should check my email more often, I was excited to see and hear a new song by Matt Pond (or Matt Pond PA). Listen to Matt Pond's new song "Love To Get Used" from his album, The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand , out on February 5, 2013. Matt Pond will be on tour with Jukebox The Ghost beginning in February 2013.
Frank Yang It's less accurate to say that Mark Eitzel was/is/ever shall be the frontman for American Music Club than it is to simply say Mark Eitzel is American Music Club. Over both of the band's incarnations - their original run from 1982 to 1994 and the reunion from 2004 to 2009 - Eitzel released solo records whose songbooks intersected liberally with AMC but roamed more musically, most curiously on The Ugly American , which saw him arranging old songs for traditional Greek instruments, and Candy Ass , which saw [...]
