Next Wednesday at Harlot i n San Francisco, the Rumble returns with a band in from Norway called SIMON SAYS NO . I caught them at SXSW and if you're fans of bands like FILM SCHOOL, EDITORS or CHAVEZ . Our guest blogger this month is one of my favorite Bay area reads, THE BAY BRIDGED , and they booked LEOPOLD & HIS FICTION , a band we've been playing consistently since discovery on the FS show on WOXY. On the [...]
When I see people who can play Guitar Hero at expert and get really good scores, it kind of irritates me.

Welcome to some new sites on the blogroll that I can see are going to expand my musical horizons: The 405 features a mixture of music, film, and art reviews. Recent album reviews include The Boy Least Likely To's The Law of the Playground and Bell Orchestre's As Seen Through Windows . Side One Track One also seems to have very similar taste to mine but knows a whole slew [...]
myspace Honestly, yesterday was a grind. Between interview Tony Dekker and seeing Great Lake Swimmers tear the roof off St. Matthew's Church yesterday (review, interview, grainy pics, video and shitty sounding MP3s tomorrow), I really didn't have time to write down my thoughts on any of the records I've been enjoying lately. It got even worse when Naedoo snaked me on the Predator rap. So instead of throwing up something half assed, I'm going to use my full ass to show some love to one of the Maritime's hardest working DJ. Bones [...]
Watch the brand new video for this group I just discovered called Sportsday Megaphone . The video for “Meet Me In the Middle” is directed, drawn & animated by OWLS (George Mellor & Hugh Frost). This apparently is the last single from Sportsday Megaphone's latest album, So Many Colors/So Little Time , check it out... We also have a sick in the head remix up for grabs that will keep you entertained forever... DOWNLOAD: Sportsday Megaphone - Meet Me In The Middle (Max [...]
MARI'S MINUTE - SHOW LISTINGS FOR 2/13 to 2/15 from The Owl Mag on Vimeo . alt=rss
Durrty Goodz - "The Youngers" A dense piece, this. Swinging on vines through the halls of a haunted house, a young gang of kids are the protectors and destroyers of a certain code of conduct. A complicated hierarchy of seniority, catalogued first by age then success then bad-ass-ness then assets then physical strength then proficiency with weapons and vehicles then just plain looks. Snogging and shagging on kitchen floors and bathroom walls, every painting with moving eyes being a secret passage to one of their bedrooms, tallscreen tvs and videoblades aplenty, weird shoes that you [...]
myspace It’s a beautiful, snowy day here in Halifax; the kind of day where you want to bundle up in scarves, mitts, hats, and winter coats and run around catching snowflakes on your tongue. And as I sit here listening to Owl , the new duo of Superfantastic (that's a band and an adjective) Matthew MacDonald and Vanessa Murnaghan, that unashamed freedom runs throughout their songs. Sure, on some tracks you get the impression that Owls might be better suited to soundtrack your late night candlelit discussions [...]

>> When we last checked in on British noise-pop dynamos The Manhattan Love Suicides here in April, the Leeds-based foursome had just issued its Clusterf*ck 7" EP. And at the time we advised folks to watch EMusic and wait for the four songs to show up in the handy MP3 format, because digitizing vinyl is wicked frustrating, yeh. After that we forgot all about the EP until today, when a MySpace alert notifified us that the band had just uploaded a new track from a recently issued compilation titled Burnt Out Landscapes .

by ricochet matos (music vid by eep! productions) The Little Pictures are a mini powerhouse out of New Zealand. They've only been together for about a year and are still working to finish up their undergrads in Europe. Their video for "This House Can Fit Us All" is awesome and their sampling and harmonic skills are fun and easy to jam with. Owl + Owl is their debut album, available for pre-order from lil' chief records. I like what I've heard, these fools are chill. [...]
>> Something we did not know until about 9:40 Tuesday night: shoegaze geniuses Fleeting Joys are about to release a new record. It may or may not be titled Occult Radiance , and it is set for release on Fleeting Joy 's own Only Forever label Aug. 11. Best of all, the Northern California duo has posted a megamix of sorts of samples from all the tracks on the album as an MP3 at its blog. We'll save you the trip over there by reposting the thing below. For those unfamiliar with the band, [...]
Jeff Hanson , the really talented artist who's most widely known as "that dude that sounds like a chick" is set to release his third album, Madam Owl , just one month from now, but you'd be hard pressed to find much in the way of promo or info for the record online. Every time I get a Kill Rock Stars List email in my inbox, I jump on it, thinking "surely, there will be something about Jeff Hanson's new album in there," but there never is... so I'm starting to fear that [...]
