To announce the departing of long time band member Jonnie Russell due to his desire to return to school the band has released 2 new tracks and 2 videos to introduce their new guitarist former Modest Mouse and Murder City Devil's guitarist Dann Gallucci. But really we should call it 1 1/2 new tracks since "Minimum Mistake" is more of a reprise for "Minimum Day". Both videos feature the free-form dancing of Julia Fenton with small glimpses of the new line up. The songs themselves are a little sub par for the band and are missing the [...]

Metallica are making the logical leap from festival headliners to festival curators as the metal pioneers have created Orion Music + More, an event that promises a wealth of the world's top bands and, uh, more. Orion will take place over two days on June 23rd and 24th in Atlantic City, New Jersey and the initial lineup is pretty stacked. Along with Metallica headlining both days, including one day of them performing The Black Album for the first time ever on American soil and Ride The Lightning the other night, Orion will offer some [...]
There may not be as much dancing as the "Lonely Boy" video, but the new Black Keys video for "Gold on the Ceiling" is still pretty cool. You can find "Gold on the Ceiling" on 20112s acclaimed El Camino and you can see the Black Keys live in Seattle on May 8th at Key Arena. Here's a name we haven't heard in a while. Daft Punk is reported to be working with famed disco and R&B producer Nile Rodgers on a new album! The band [...]

Portlandia is a show by, for, and about indie rock types, so it's no surprise that indie big dogs show up in sketches every so often. This past weekend's episode featured two. St. Vincent's Annie Clark, who first collaborated with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein back when they were the online sketch duo ThunderAnt, played a model who showed off a proposed police-uniform redesign. Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, meanwhile, played someone attempting to donate records to the local elementary school. Watch both of their sketches below. Also, we asked Fred Armisen to name his [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, there was always this weird anti-Ohio attitude that cut deeply. Although without Ohio, none of us in Beaver County, living on the border, would be drinking any beer in high school. So thanks, East Palestine, for your beat-up 7-Elevens. It's a [...]
Besides the usual nonsensical tomfoolery of Portlandia , a recent episode starring St. Vincent's Annie Clark and Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock brought up incredibly important questions for any person trying to raise a "musically cultured" child (or whatever that means). Are Mike + The Mechanics the bane of rock history? Is Whitney's Houston our generation's Dante? Is Harry Nilsson the perfect soundtrack to an intense session of Lincoln Logs? Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein would say yes to all of the above, but are they the authorities in musicianship that we should obey? Sure, Brownstein used to be in [...]
Sasquatch! , held every year in the Pacific Northwest, isn't regarded as one of the bigger music festivals in the United States, but is usually regarded as one of the best. Last year, festival organizers enlisted the talents of the Foo Fighters , Wilco , Death Cab for Cutie , Modest Mouse , The Flaming Lips , and lot more over the course of four (yes, four) days. While that may be fairly impressive for what isn't regarded as one of the year's bigger events, this year's does boast a fairly heavy - [...]
Words by Jim My inbox gets annihilated by emails on a daily basis. I almost feel bad for it. PR people from around the globe send us the most random stuff. Seriously, I'm not saying that we are super important and we have PR agents banging our door down, because that's definitely not the case. It's just the power of Google and Twitter search, I guess. If we feature a band from the UK, you can bet that two days later we'll have emails about the newest dub step grunge trip hop artist from [...]

![[Introducing] – Morning Teleportation](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3968329_lg.jpg)
Tweet Are your ears itching to discover something different? Then have I got a treat for you. I'm willing to bet that the music of Morning Teleportation is like nothing you've heard before. I certainly hadn't. They classify themselves as Psychedelic/Electro/Roots but they are so much more than that. Achieving musical alchemy, they successfully combine more genres than I can count, creating these fabulous journeys of song. They have taken the rulebook of song writing and thrown it out the window. They're [...]
