Another year, another great crop of songs. Some of you might be surprised to see a handful of radio smash hits on here, but I'd be lying to myself and you if I didn't include them in a list of my favorite songs of 2012. There's a Spotify playlist (with a few extra songs) to [...]
Despite our compilations of the week's best videos, it's difficult to remember many of them for long. Each week brings something new to marvel at and yada yada yada your mind totally erases any memory of that Kanye West video you gasped at while eating cereal one Thursday in April. Whereas you can essentially live with a song, most videos are consumed with what amounts to a glance and a nod. Granted, that's not the case for all of them, and, hey, wouldn't you know that's why we're sitting here with 25 of them in December. So, [...]
I don't know what this song is. I've never heard it before, and hope to all things supernal I never hear it again, though I think it's Maroon 5. Maroon fucking 5 . That parasitic filth-stain of a band endemic to seemingly everywhere, inclusive of this once commensurately filthy perdition known only as east fucking London. This place once balanced precariously on the bleeding edge, dictating everything that, at the time, would be reckoned in any way à la mode . Shoreditch then threw up fads and fashions for breakfast as its inhabitants may an ashtray tarred in [...]

Where once stood a trio of rockers, Menomena now stands as a duo of rockers from Portland. Though, from the full sound of their 5 th studio album, Mom , you would really never guess it. Their attack is aggressive at times, and their sound is never less than full. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the sound of Menomena at first. Even after having listened to the first couple of tracks, Plumage, and Capsule , I still wasn’t quite sure what it was that I was experience. [...]

MENOMENA, RADIATION CITY, PARENTHETICAL GIRLS ( Crystal Ballroom , 1332 W Burnside) Menomena are like those friends who you know live just around the corner but somehow rarely see. Wise enough to keep local listeners eagerly awaiting their periodic hometown performances, tonight they're letting us have it, along with their latest album, Moms . MARJORIE SKINNER THE AFGHAN WHIGS, VAN HUNT ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) I'm trying very hard not to string together 11,156 "EEEE"s and [...]
Menomena's Moms makes me feel guilty. It does that because it brings out one of my most shameful music-fan habits: prematurely judging albums on their covers. I don't always do this, but I'm finally aware of some background patterns in my brain that slightly downgrades albums with covers I hate. I've done it with Deerhoof's [...]

Electro-wizards PVT have taken another piece of magic, the Menomena single, "Plumage", from their recent album, Moms , and have transformed it into...something completely different. Like it's completely impossible to even tell that this originally came from Menomena . [...]
