This past Tuesday, November 4th was an historic day. While there were a couple of decent albums released this Tuesday, the best new release of the day was provided by the American voters. In addition to The Wheel’s Still In Spin ’s weekly suggestions, we begin with a special “new release”: President-Elect Barack Obama Download the Victory Speech (mp3) [...]
Estoy seguro que todo el grupete hippie folk que rodea a Devendra Banhart deben pasarlo increíble se ven muy buenos para dejarse llevar y disfrutar la vida. Ahora traen un poco de desorden de nuevo en el primer video de Megapuss banda que ya la hemos nombrado varias veces en WCBH y que su disco esta bastante bueno la verdad. Acá el primer video del disco Surfing dirigido por Amy Jo Diaz que compartieron en exclusiva con PitchforkTv y ellos con el mundo.
Every Tuesday for the past couple of years I have brought you folks a regularly scheduled recommended release in the hope of guiding you through you weekly trip to the record store. I realize that not all of you take my suggestions, or even like them, so I'm going to start offering you a little larger plate to sample from in the hopes that you can make more well educated decision based on your
If your standing in line waiting to vote this afternoon you might as well have some new music to listen to while you brave the crowds. First off this weeks releases have a couple of very notable side projects. You have Little Joy (Fab Moretti of the The Strokes) and Megapuss (Devendra Banhart) both taking a break from their day "jobs" and trying out a little experimentation. Little Joy will also be stopping in Austin on the 29th of November. [ Tickets ] It wasn't released today but it should be mentioned that Black [...]
Another not-so-notable release week. I know it's not that exciting when the two releases I'm looking forward to most are from a classical composer ( Johann Johannsson ) and a split EP with two artists I don't own anything by ( Thursday / Envy ). My guess is people don't want to drop an album on an election day. Can't blame them. It probably explains the huge release weeks we've had through the fall up until now, too. I'll also be checking out Black Moth Super Rainbow , Travis , [...]

Mr. Devendra Banhart has gone wack-o... well he's been a touch out there from the beginning. Check out the hillarity of his new project, which was created off the top of their heads. Gregory Rogrove created the album alongside Banhart through improv, funny phrases, stories, and naked time (check out the cover to Surfing due 11/4). Enjoy. 1. Crop Circle Jerk '94 2. Adam And Steve 3. A Gun On His Hip, A Rose On [...]
[This weekly feature is a snapshot of what the Stranger Dance staff can't get out of our collective head each week. On any given week, we might be digging a new local act, an old jazz chestnut, the newest Japanese electro-folk or whatever else we've got on the turntable/iPod that week.] Here's a special playlist for that favorite holiday of white people , Halloween. Half of our picks this week are holiday appropriate, with two all-time spooky classics. Rounding out this week's list are a pair of indie collaborations, featuring Devendra and one quarter of [...]
This weekend, I had the rare opportunity to spend a long weekend away from the studio and out in the brisk western Virginia woodlands. It was a magical couple of days filled with romantic fireside evenings, long hikes along kaleidoscopic trails, and vistas replete with wildlife, waterfalls, blue skies and cool air. This mixtape is inspired by those fresh memories - Indian Summer among the changing leaves, reading a good book on the porch of a cabin, and just getting away from it all. Track listing: 01. Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood [...]
Devendra Banhart is one of my favorite musicians. I'm normally not into psychedelia, but there's something theatrical and mysterious about Banhart 's voice when paired with his eclectic instrumentation. Banhart is one of the few musicians (aside from Antony Hegarty ) whose music can bring me to tears. I was extremely excited to check out Surfing , the debut release from Megapuss , Banhart's new music project with Greg Rogove of Priestbird . The instrumentation and vocal stylings are immediately recognizable as Banhart, but forgo his signature theatrics for a softer, [...]
Come tutti i venerdì, eccoci all'appuntamento con le uscite discografiche della settimana. Anche oggi arrivano sugli scaffali molti dischi e ce n'è un po' per tutti i gusti. Sicuramente il più atteso è il nuovo degli Oasis di cui possiamo vantare l'intervista esclusiva pubblicata ieri, contenente le nostre e le vostre domande! Molto fermento anche per l'EP di Antony & The Johnsons , la nuova raccoltona-bootleg di Bob Dylan , il live arricchito di qualche rarità dei Clash , le cover di James Taylor , i tanto discussi Jonas [...]
Given our current economic situation, "Bailout Blues" seems like an obvious theme. However, I'm not sure the songs I picked have anything to do with it - although you have to admit that a song named "Crop Circle Jerk '943 may, in some small way, sum up the situation. For those of you who don't know, Megapuss is actually a band comprised of none other than Devendra Banhart and Greg Rogove (please keep your sexual orientation jokes in your pants). I'd also like to direct your attention to Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead," if for no other reason [...]
Who: Megapuss Title: Surfing Release Date: October 7th Label: Vapor Thoughts: Megapuss is the very definition of a super group featuring Devendra Banhart, Greg Rogove (Priestbird), Fabrizio Moretti (The Strokes), Noah Georgeson, and Aziz Ansari (comedian, Human Giant), they all have big time projects that have propelled them to be able to take on a pet project such as Megapuss. The funny thing is

This past June Devendra Banhart and Priestbird’s Greg Rogove made their debut appearance as Megapuss at the hammer museum in LA with Devandra wearing a skirt made of plastic dicks and Greg in a summery man dress. The group also includes the Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti. Megapuss was inadvertently formed when the Devendra and Greg where touring together in their separate groups trying to pass the time away backstage. Banhart says, "Before a show, we'd have fifteen minutes to get in the zone. So the plan was to have a finished song written in fifteen minutes each night." [...]
So I'm torn (a bit, not too much) on this record. Major personalities involved in this record aside, it has a great pop heart. Each track, given the almost notoriously side project nature or aura of this project, is solidly built and can stand on its own in both upbeat fun settings and darker, more sinister ones. The latter being where the record shines the most brilliantly. When the claws come out, or the melancholy turns a darker shade of purple the ideas and players behind the curtain become irrelevant and everything clicks into place. My concerns, ok well lets [...]
