That's right kids STRFKR is finally hitting Miami. The Portland indie dance poppers will be playing Bardot's red carpet this Friday January 20th, it's an early show so don't be on the typical Miami-time schedule. Patrick and I will be spinning some tunes before they go on, I'm excited. We first blogged about Starfucker about a year ago so if you're looking for biographical info please check out our last post . However, if you want to get to know front man Josh Hodges' personality a tiny bit better keep reading: INTERVIEW: We [...]
I like outside shows when it is cold. Starfucker headlined The Mohawk last Saturday. Alexico and Painted Palms opened the sold out show (honestly a bit surprised) that was made warm with merriment and spirits, or whatever else. Starfucker pulls a weird blend of show-goers including some old people (mainly me). It was a young crowd, it was a good crowd. Head past the break for pics and show notes… [...]
Portland's electro-dudes Starfucker send out good vibes in Pomona.
I'm officially not doing an albums of the year list. There have been so few that I wholeheartedly enjoy, I'd have to do a top 10 that starts at 8. But that is not to say that there wasn't some exceptional new music this year. Click HERE for my favorite tracks from 2011. I'm hoping that 2012 will pick up the pace, but if not, I'll just further recede into the vintage music that I love so much. I hope you enjoy listening to the mixes as much as I like making them. [...]

Unlike most 'best songs' lists, we are creating each volume chronologically by the month in [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

When Winter hits elsewhere, Fall hits Los Angeles. Little changes, but we occasionally don infrequently worn coats, and complain frequently about the 30° difference in temperature. We fear that it will stay this way, seemingly forgetting that we will likely return to shorts for at least one weekend before Christmas. We yearn for 2 weeks ago with more energy than we dedicate to thinking about 2 weeks from now. Put the future behind us and the past ahead. Stand for nothing, live for me.

Full weekend passes are $50 or day passes are $25. Ticket can be bought at Zulu or Redcat records or online here . Active Child Pitchfork basically panned Active [...]
When I think of Autumn, I think of turning leaves, warm scarves and comfy hoodies. But most importantly, I think of Beck and Andrew W.K. Why? I couldn't tell you. I'm guessing I just listened to those bros a lot when I went back to school. Enjoy the mix and be sure to support the artists if you find something new you like. Andrew W.K. - "It's Time To Party" LMFAO - "Sexy And I Know It" Surfer Blood - "Swim" Madonna [...]
Monday Afternoon Quick Fix runs every Monday afternoon to showcase the best of Chicago music news, views and stories from around the interwebs and blogosphere that we might have missed. • NPR is now streaming the new Wilco album, The Whole Love . • Jim DeRogatis has another installment of the highly entertaining The Vortis Diaries on his WBEZ blog that details their problematic gig earlier this month at Subterranean . • Greg Kot profiles local R&B/hip hop/jazz up-and-comers Kids These Days for [...]
Imagine a wave rolling over your body, so delicate in form, so precise in its constitution, powerful and awesome, a true reminder that great splendor can be found in the subtlest sensations. This wave, this magnificent flourishing wave, builds and collapses, continually rising and falling to produce the fine aesthetics of ages long gone. But what is this force, this chilling flow of sparseness and frailty that spreads over your body to confirm your existence by proving you can feel? Braids, man, Braids. What can be said about a group that defies expectations, not only with their admirably layered melodies [...]
The person who originally said, "the more, the merrier" clearly never saw Montreal's BRAIDS live. While filling a venue to capacity is obviously good business for both the artist and the bookers, sometimes a sparse crowd is a blessing - especially when it means Raphaelle Standell-Preston's stunning, lofty vocals are free to bounce about the room, completely consuming the listener. I'm getting ahead of myself, though, as ultra poppy Painted Palms and indie up-and-comers Pepper Rabbit first had to set the stage for the evening - and did so admirably well. [...]

Now here's a deliciously brilliant idea: a mini-documentary inserted into a music video. The folks at Yours Truly & Audyssey have it covered in The Neighborhood , a project that is equal parts music video and ode to place. Started in April of 2011 as a way to document events of the same name, the idea is to capture the musical spirit of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area on an intimate level. To date, Yours Truly has captured 5 different band's take on the South of Market neighborhood. [...]
The Neighborhood: SOMA // Painted Palms from Yours Truly on Vimeo . This episode of The Neighborhood captures Painted Palms in a really positive head space, and, why shouldn't it? This is a duo clearly excited about being in SF, even if Chris Prudhomme's stay is only part of a semester-long college sabbatical. "What you put out is what you ingest" - it's an idea that didn't start with these guys, but it's encouraging to see them carry it with them. Related Posts: [...]
As part of their installment for Yours Truly's The Neighborhood series, Painted Palms didn't only shed some light on their fondness for San Francisco. The cousins duo of Reese Donohue and Chris Prudhomme, the latter of whom was actually in Louisiana when they started, also threw together a new track "Big Balloon" for the occasion. And if you have heard their previous material , then you already kind of know what to expect. "Big Balloon" is as pretty as it gets, and a track you should make sure to hold onto once the weekend rolls around and [...]
The Neighborhood: SOMA // Painted Palms from Yours Truly on Vimeo . Yours Truly profiled local act (via Louisiana) Painted Palms for the latest edition of their Neighborhood series. Aside from it being shot beautifully, I love this video for a few reasons. Reese and Chris, the cousin duo behind Painted Palms, live in my neighborhood and there are a number of great shots along Divisadero, the main drag in our area. Also, I have met the guys a few times through mutual friends and it feels great to be able [...]
