It's that bass line - leading, breathless and frustrated - that marks the boundaries of the latest Field Mouse single, "Tomorrow Is Yesterday". Lost somewhere between dream pop and shoegaze, vocalist Rachel Browne finds little slices of menace and fecundity in an arrangement that ends up sounding a little like Silversun Pickups and little like early Emily Haines. Browne is the self-same singer who cracked sarcastic barbs from the stage of Glasslands this past summer about being super stoned - which she surely wasn't - with the sort of dry wit and vague hostility that [...]

David Bastedo So at this point I may as well just earmark Tuesday posts as concert announcement roundups, Mondays being the busiest day for tour-related press releases and also being the easiest to put together as I wait for a torrent of Bunheads to surface. Shut up, it's a great show. First up is Prince Edward Island's finest power-pop band Two Hours Traffic , now with a slightly altered lineup - guitarist Alec O'Hanley left after 20092s Territory and can now be found in Always , [...]
You may have noticed that we took another week off from this feature last week. Over half of the late night shows took a break, so I wanted to go ahead and wait for a week where we'll have some decent recommendations for every single night. I know it’s tough to keep track of all of the great performances on television each week, so every Monday I’ll bring you a roundup of the best artists (along with a bonus pick or two). So get those DVRs set (or remember to check Hulu the next day) for: [...]

The Joy Formidable has always been one of those bands for me that walk that hard to find line between having energy/drive and hard-core-rock. Whirring from their debut album The Big Roar is one of my favorite songs even though the guitar jam sesh at the end can tend to get to people in a [...]
Metric stays faithful to the almighty Moz with an acoustic cover of "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself."

Depois de um mês de Dezembro dedicado a destacar muito do bom que apareceu em 2012, muitos foram os temas que ficaram em stand-by no que se refere a críticas de álbuns o que significou muitos posts em rascunho para que um dia eles pudessem ser publicados. No que diz respeito a álbuns não recomendados, para além da vergonha que já aqui publiquei e sem falar nos péssimos trabalhos dos
[author-name] I know we're about to start the second week of 2013, but there's nothing wrong with a little extra reflection on the best of 2012. Love seeing a few local artists on here! Check out KCRW DJ Gary Calamar's favorite tracks of the year: 1. Best Coast - "The Only Place" 2. David Byrne & St. Vincent - "Who" 3. Palmyra Delran - "You're My Brian Jones" [...]
As we step into 2013, we gladly continue our journey all the way down to the #1 song of 2012. But that doesn't mean it will be popular per ...
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 1 (100-51) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]

"'Dreams So Real,' which is one of the darkest, greatest things Metric has ever created. It’s one of the boldest musical choices on the album, fit with stripped down instrumentals and deceptively complex composition. This stripped down background works so well because Haines’s words are so honest. 'Have I ever really helped anyone but myself?' she asks." (via Surviving the Golden Age ) ♩ Metric - Dreams So Real [from Synthetica ] (stream on soundcloud) web // facebook // twitter // soundcloud // shows // iTunes [...]

Another year comes to an end and with it another great collection of albums and amazing music! Which ones will stand the test of time? We shall see, but here are our picks for favorite albums of 2012!! As for the process, it was pretty simple. I just rounded up all our contributors and had them each send me their fave albums, then I combined them with mine and here's what we came up with in no particular order (except that maybe I tried to get the art works to match up [...]
Everyone else is doing it , so I guess that means that we need to do it too. Yes, mom, we would jump off a bridge with everyone else if they were doing it.. because, that's how we roll. So, we've broken down our lists into our favorite "national releases of 20123 and our "Nashville releases of 20123 as a No Country team. We decided to throw our best shows of 2012 into individual lists since we usually try to cover as many different events as possible. To let you have the full opportunity to absorb our gems, we are [...]
