This is Sapphire. Santa will be leaving a lump of coal in her stocking. Contrast Podcast #142 marks the beginning (at the lower end) of the annual Festive 50, voted on by all the podcast contributors. Hats off to Tim for getting us all motivated on this project several weeks ago, before most of us even started our end-of-year lists. And thanks to the podcaster who put Dark Dark Dark on the first list of nominations. Hard To Find a Friend reveals his number one album of [...]
J'aimerai vous faire part de la trouvaille de My First Earthquake tombé dans ma boîte mail la semaine passée. Déjà entendu il y a de cela 6 bons mois , ce nouveau mail portait cette fois sur un titre spécialement écrit pour les fêtes de Noël. La sélection étant très rude sur ce blog, le titre a passé la case écoute et appréciation positive du jury acceptant je n'en doute point la satisfaction des premiers qui l'écouteront. My First Earthquake [...]

Not your average, run of the mill holiday songs mind you, but something a little less traditional while still being festive and fun. Twiggy Frostbite - " Lanterns and Stars " (mp3) Berlin Symphony Orchestra - " Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy " (Red Baron Remix) (mp3) My First Earthquake - " Fa La Freezing " (mp3) And now we have The Maine , who I like enough to feel they deserve some write up stardom. I am so impressed with their EP they put up on Purevolume [...]

Photo By Justin Wahle Do you ever get tired of cats constantly singing about the same old crap? Love, death, war, money--these big ticket items are simple targets for musicians, creating an easy resonance for listeners to say, "yeah, been there, done that, got the tee shirt." But when was the last time you heard about the tribulations of a young teacher considering sex with a twelve-year-old student? Or what it's like to find love as a TV weather girl? These are issues that get swept under the carpet far too quickly these days. Luckily for us, San [...]
And next up is My First Earthquake ! I hope you enjoy newly-minted holiday songs as much as I do, or you may not enjoy their amusing holiday song, Fa La Freezing . It is based off of a song their singer remembered from her 5th grade holiday concerts. Awww, nostalgia! I've only heard it a few times and I'm already singing along. It's ca-ca-ca-ca-cold outside... The other song I've posted, Sack Lunch is not holiday-themed, but it is rather catchy. It has the distinct honor of being the only song I've ever heard [...]

This Wednesday at Bottom of the Hill there is a great local lineup. The Old-Fashioned Way will be celebrating their EP release, joined by The Botticellis and My First Earthquake . The new EP The Old-Fashioned Way and Their Weak Constitutions is a five-song EP the band recorded last summer at Pan American Studios with Jason Quever (of Papercuts). The music is a quirky blend of indie pop and folk, with more instruments than you can fathom [...]
With song titles like Sack Lunch , Hot Girlfriend , and Cradle the Ladle , you might imagine that San Franciscoites My First Earthquake took the Peaches ' name-your-song class. And while the foursome does exhibit some of the same electronic tendencies with their music and some of the same lyrical suggestiveness (although significantly toned down), by no means would I make an A = B formula between the two. They've just put out their debut EP, aptly titled Tremors , and its six tracks go by quick. They're snappy, energetic, [...]

Qualche volta nella casella gmail arriva qualcosa di gradevole. My First Earthquakes non solo scrivono ottime email di presentazione, con buona dose di autoironia e pomposità, ma incidono canzoncine orecchiabili. Whatever that means. My First Earthquake > Sack Lunch official site
This is a track from the debut ep by San Fransisco's My First Earthquake. The ep is called the "Tremors" ep and is well worth a listen. ______________________________ mp3: My First Earthquake - Teleprompt ______________________________ Band Website

Hey, I'm DJ Howlermonkey , I'm from Pittsburgh and recently had a Crystal Castles mix featured on Pitchforkmedia . I'm working on an EP called "Headstrong" right now with the very talented Rebecca B and also doing remixes for assorted artists including Mr. Miyagi and Tepr. For a sense of the stuff I do check out my mix ( DJ Howlermonkey - Promo mix 1 (zShare) ) - it has an extra special guest spot/drop. Anyway, enough of the shameless self promotion, here are this week's picks. And again apologies for the delay Tracks: [...]
