Or, the Whale - "Rusty Gold" Or, the Whale is returning from a hiatus to perform a rare show tonight at The Independent , and a recent post from the band's blog suggests that there's some possibility this might be it for SF's alt-country darlings: So, here's the deal: after a few months of "hiatus" we are playing a show at the Independent in SF. We are splitting the bill with Victoria George and there will be some collaborations in each set. [...]

Ages ago, I found this R.E.M. bootleg at a now-defunct record shop. It was wonderful, and intimate, and full of strange cover versions I had never heard. Just before launching into "World Leader Pretend," Michael Stipe says: "We're really happy to be here at Mountain Stage. We're surrounded by really good people, and we're gonna do a couple songs for you." At the time, I had no idea where, or what, Mountain Stage was... but I wanted to be there. Years later, thanks to the magic of the Internet and NPR Music , I get to experience amazing, live [...]

Whether you will be in Austin or not, these are all bands that play around the Bay regularly, and they're all well worth checking out.

I believe Seattle has spawned a new subculture I'm coining as hicksters. These guys probably grew up in Seattle. Suburban white kids with wealthy parents just like hipsters. But, they're dressed like they came from a farm where dating your cousin is the norm. Your beard(like the amish) is never long enough. and the uniform consists of boots, carharts, and either flannel or a cowboy flair button-up. Little did I know, this definition is already on urban dictionary. Don't you hate when your ideas were already someone else's IDEA? Headlining Wednesday was: The Maldives.(pronounced mall-deevs) [...]

I was going to develop this post more. I ran out of time. I'll make it up to you next time. The point is that Klosterman is a great author if you love music and pop culture. He even writes fiction! If you need something new to read, it's inALLcaps recommended.

Britney Spears divides music fans, some dismissing her as corporate created pop, others seeing her as deserving respect for maintaining a Madonna-esque career path of reinvention and having the ears to snag the best in pop songwriting. Most everyone I know on both sides agrees "Toxic" is a great tune. Or, The Whale (mentioned here before ) has dropped a nice little cover of said song, slowing it down and making it a bit more introspective. It works as well as the original I think. MP3: Or, The Whale [...]

In my review of the album I described it as "one of a number of tracks on the album that could be described as a 'standout' and begins with simple, acoustic strumming as guitarist/vocalist Alex Robins sings 'my dog died and it broke my heart' and continuing 'now that she has been set free, I hope her ghost will visit me' before waves of pedal steel flow over the [...]
