High Fidelity on relationships and compatibility: " A while back, when dick and Barry and I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like, Barry proposed the idea of a questionnaire for prospective partners, a two- or three-page multiple-choice document that covered all the music/film/TV/book bases. It was intended a) to dispense with awkward conversation, and b) to prevent a chap from leaping into bed with someone who might, at a later date, turn out to have every Julio Iglesias record ever made.

The calendar turns to September this weekend, which means only two weeks until the Festival! The big names are getting ready to filter through central Texas. Until then, let's see who will be in the ATX this week. As Joe said in his post, the dinosaurs are out this week. I am not a huge fan of punk and hardcore bands, but two of the most well known and influential ones are playing together
Oh No! Oh My! [MP3] Oh No! Oh My! - Walk In The Park [MP3] Let's Go Sailing - It's As Clear One of the best unsigned bands out there today. I am soo excited they have finally made it over to the left coast! The band will be playing at The Echo TONIGHT with Rock Insider favs Let's Go Sailing. Footnote: why isnt "Walk In The Park" on a Saturn commercial yet? Why I ask. WHY! I will be
I t's a tough one tonight kids. In the citay the Conservatory is hosting The Curtains , Bob Wiseman and Final Fantasy . Closer to home (for me anyway) the Opolis has offered up space for a one-off performance from Oh No! Oh My! and Neon Signs Like The World is Great . Holy crap [...]
OK, I swear that I knew about this band from awhile ago but just never got around to making a post about them. I swear that I was ahead of the curve... but now I look like a copycat poster now that the exclamation filled group Oh No! Oh My! is hitting it (slightly) [...]
The best of the best. Without repeating an artist, my favorite songs I’ve listened to in 2006, Part V. [Part I , II , III , IV and V previously]. 1. Lo-Fi Fnk â€" Adore (mp3) This fun dance track from this Swedish group made me an instant fan. It was an intrinsically appealing quality I can’t put my finger on. The first few lines are my favorite, “Laying on the floor listening to [...]
More Lollapalooza goodness for you right here. Everyone seems to be talking about which after party shows they are attending, but I will be attending none of the officially recognized shows. Nope. Instead, Amy and I will (babysitter permitting) be heading out to Schubas on Sunday night for Jonah Matranga, Attention, and The City On Film. Not to be missed. I've also heard that Cold War Kids and What Made Milwaukee Famous both tear it up live, so I'm excited to catch their sets over the weekend as well. [...]
#3: Oh No! Oh My! , Oh No! Oh My! While the rest of the blogosphere goes on and on about Tapes 'n Tapes, I'll be over here singing the praises of the other band considered to be the "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah of 2006": Nashville trio Oh No! Oh My! , whose self-titled debut may be only 30 minutes long, but it's the best 30 minutes I've had in quite a while (not including the season finale of Venture Bros. ). Incessantly catchy, poppy [...]
Lyrics Of The Week This song played such a pivotal role in The OC. Season 1 ended with the late Jeff Buckley's version, as Seth's boat's sailing out to the sea. Season 3 closed with Imogen Heap's a capella version, as Ryan carried Marissa out on the road at midnight. Too bad Mischa quitted the show, she was the second reason I watched it beside the great indie soundtracks. Anyway, this cover version of the Leonard Cohen's song is classic. It's just a real, real sad love song, with emotional, [...]
First off, I want to thank Greg for inviting me to write for AYF? What an honour, for real. As I get my bearings in a new city (Toronto), you'll be hearing about my observations on an obssessive culture, be privy to my taste in music, and hear gossip stories from my adventures as they unfold. There's no format for what I'll deliver to you, with only one rule: NO MADONNA! (Except, maybe a good remix will come out and I'll be able to pass it along? Please? [ No Madonna! No Madonna remixes! [...]
Please don't ask me all those questions... After listening to "Walk in the Park", the first Oh No! Oh My! track I ever stumbled across, it was quite easy to see how songwriters Greg Barkley and Daniel Hoxmeier could have once gone by the moniker The Jolly Rogers (a name they eventually abandoned, as it was already claimed by "several pop-punk bands from Nebraska and Florida, and a group that frequents renaissance festivals dressed in pirate garb"). "Park", an upbeat and catchy [...]
NEWSFLASH: the music business is an unpleasent place. In an age where record labels would rather install DRMs than take care of their artists, and where thousands of music "fans" pirate songs and offer nothing in return to bands, it's easy to see how someone could lose focus on the ...
As pumped as I am about getting to sit in for Oh No! Oh My!'s on-air performance at WOXY tomorrow (it airs 2PM EST), I think I might be more excited that they're getting the chance to do a real tour. I'll probably catch them at Kuyahoga, but that looks ...

This just in! My Morning Jacket has been added to this year's Lollapalooza lineup! Coming off a stellar performance on the 4th of July in Grant Park at the Taste of Chicago, the MMJ boys decided they couldn't stay away for more than a month, and will be playing the August 4th day of the festival facing off against none other than The Raconteurs. So now I'm conflicted as to which band to go and see during that time. Ah, I'm sure I'll think of something before the event rolls around. Also: Oh No! Oh My! has been added to [...]
I recently told a friend to listen to this band called Oh No! Oh My! to which he responded, "that's the most hipster name of a band I've ever heard." Which is true. Not only do you have repetition, but you also have exclamation points. And upon first look at the band last night, you would think they are a hipster's wet dream. There's the hodgepodge of characters, from the scruffy lead singer, to the moppy haired bass player, the funny guy on the right, and the hipster clad female with the tamborine. [...]
Oh No! Oh My! just got asked to play three music festivals this summer: the Pre-Siren Festival in Brooklyn, Kuyahoga Festival in Cleveland, and Lollapalooza in Chicago. Oh No! Oh My! Tour Dates Jul 13 Insound Pre-Siren Fest Party - Brooklyn, NY (21+) Aug 3 Kuyahoga Festival - Cleveland, OH Lollapalooza - Chicago, IL They've ...
There's quite a precedent in music writing to use a girl as a subject. Even more so, it seems like artists use said girl's name as the song title. Here are a couple that came to mind, all of which begin with the letter "J". Got any more? ::: The White Stripes - Jolene (Dolly Parton cover) ::: The Mountain Goats - Jenny ::: The Fakrays - Johanna ::: Stellastarr* - Jenny [...]
A couple months back, The Underrated Blog urged me to order the CDR's of Oh No! Oh My! (and their previous incarnation The Jolly Rogers) so I did. I'm a pushover when it comes to cheap new music. Anyhow, the buzz is building around ONOM's self-titled (major) debut album. Oft-compared to The Shins for those of you who need a reference point, they play upbeat indie-pop numbers. Here's a cut from their album plus my favorite track from their Jolly Rogers demo (hand claps included!). ::: Oh [...]
We would like to introduce you to Oh No! Oh My! . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "The glimmer of an unsigned Modest Mouse." What did you think? Use a tag or comment to share your thoughts with everyone. Enjoy. Genre: Rock-Pop-Folk Label: Unsigned Source: Pocket|Trax Language: [...]
