Giorni vacanzieri Non sono per nulla giorni vacanzieri, ma l'ultimo clamoroso e vanzinatissimo video degli Ex-Otago mi ricorda che: 1) il nuovo album degli Ex-Otago , Tanti Saluti , pubblicato da Riotmaker , è una bombetta e sarà uno dei miei dischi dell'estate. Qualcuno faccia qualcosa e li chiami a suonare dalle nostre parti. Chi li ha già visti dal vivo sa che sono uno dei concerti più divertenti che passino [...]

MP3: Parenthetical Girls - One Father, Another MP3: Casiotone For the Painfully Alone - Love Connection Slender Mean Society owner Zac Pennington proves that his great ear for great music doesn't just stop at releasing it, but writing it. Parenthetical Girls might freak you out a little bit ( [...]

So I'm just going to pretend that my pathological inability to meet girlpants deadlines has a certain charm to it, that I'm the blogging equivalent of fashionably late. I'm pretty sure Ben wants to fire me but that corporate fat-cat is gonna have to go through the union first. Haha yea take that you corporate fat-cat! Um, here are my top ten records of 06. Nothing too shocking, but I'm definitely of the belief that it's always a good year for music and this one was no exception. I feel like fucking Alfred Russel Wallace here, but I [...]

Everett, WA Parenthetical Girls encompasses quite impressive instrumentation from an array of musicians. Check out the bio here . "The Weight She Fell Under" Parenthetical Girls on the Web

99.9% of Christmas songs are absolute crap. So, as a public service to get you in the holiday spirit to consume this weekend, RFC is bringing you some of that .1% that don't completely suck. Warm up the chestnuts, crank up the iPod and enjoy! Program 1: Merry. 1. Beck - "Little Drum Machine Boy" "Errbody needs a little holiday robot funk!" -BK [...]
Mit einer White Christmas Version der The Pipettes, veröffentlicht auf dieser kleinen Weihnachts-EP von Memphis-Industries, dort leider nicht verfügbar, von MI aber freundlicherweise zur Verfügung gestellt, schliessen wir die Tönende Weihnacht und verabschieden uns in die Feiertage. Gute Erholung! The Pipettes - White Christmas
Danke an Driftwood für den tollen Tipp: Parenthetical Girls haben wieder eine Ferien-EP aufgenommen, zu dieser Zeit natürlich eine weihnachtliche. Ganze 5 ganz tolle Songs gibt es für Weihnachtsfreaks und Nichtweihnachtsfreaks auf ihrer Website , mein Favorit ist glaub ich Festive Friends (Forever) , das mit seiner dichten Instrumentierung an eine Art klanglich fokussiertere Swan Lake erinnert. [MP3] Parenthetical Girls - Festive Friends (Forever) A Parenthetical Girls Family Christmas EP Zum Julfest hingegen bekommen wir [...]

So, I got some more Christmas music in my inbox, and it has to be shared. Parenthetical Girls are a band I have been quietly liking for most of this year, and their Christmas Ep is pretty amazing... at least as amazing as that Sufjan one, so get listening. 'Festive Friends Forever' is not the kind of song you would expect anyone to give away for free, but I guess it's the season for it. Festive Friends (Forever) Last Christmas, Pt. II As well as that [...]

Paran Maum: Linda Linda Linda (Linda Linda Linda OST, 2005) Cornelius: Sleep Warm (Sensuous, 2006) (christmas themed) Shugo Tokumaru: Sleigh Ride (そり遊び) Parenthetical Girls: Festive Friends Forever The first song is from a Japanese film I just saw watched called LINDA LINDA LINDA(2006) which is about four schoolgirls who start a cover band for their school's festival. I thought it was kind of cool. [...]

DOWNLOAD Parenthetical Girls - Do You Fear What I Fear? (MP3) It was exactly one month ago (Nov 14) today (Dec 14) that I first started writing a post about Parenthetical Girls . My urgency at the time was their NYC show that night at Cake Shop. It was already too late to mention their November 11th Brooklyn show at Lucky Cat, and practically too late for Cake Shop - but at the least I would've gotten the rest of their November tour dates up here -- plus I [...]
Part 1 of our discussion of the best of the year, wherein Dan and Jordan discuss their favourite albums, and Jordan also lists his favourite songs. Sean's favourite songs of 2006 to follow tomorrow. Jordan | Dan --- BY JORDAN: The world's population can be divided into two distinct groups: List People and The Others. There was a movie made about The Others starring Nicole Kidman as (spoiler alert) one of them, and the philosopher and cultural critic Edward Said wrote a great deal about Others. Anyway, I am one of them. Lists bring me no pleasure. I remember as [...]

A Parenthetical Girls Family Christmas Hello friends! Although the header probably gave it away a few days ago, I'm now heavily into the Christmas spirit. Last night I finished up most of the decorating I'll be doing and I managed to not burn down the house with the hundreds of pine-scented candles I had going! My decorating aside, you've probably realized that I haven't made any sort of Christmas related post yet, and you might be asking why. Well, it looks to me like every other blog on the face of the [...]

Just read the comments by some of Senator George Allen's ex-college teammates on Salon.com including a Doctor who've accused the foolhardy blowhard who reps Virginia of being an overt racist back in the 1970's. George was actually raised in CA, but quickly developed a fondness for the ways of the Neo-Con-federacy. One story circulating has him leaving a bloody deer head in a black family's mailbox as a college student...and not surprisigly frequent & fluent use of the "N" Bomb. In fact if one believes the sadly silly stories, George threw around more "Niggaz" [...]

It's the end of August... I'll post something else a little later, maybe. [01] Doctor Blind :: Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton Emily Haines has been on my radar for a while. Her solo stuff(Knives Don't Have Your Back) is nice but some of her lyrics make me cringe like I'm embarassed or something. She did the same thing in some Metric songs. This song is pretty much my favorite on the album. [02] [...]
The morning sun is coming through the curtains this morning, diffused just enough for these bleary eyes to stay open. An evening spent out until the wee hours last night has given these early hours of the day a tiny, almost fragile, feeling and I seem to have found music to appropriately go with it. Parenthetical Girls currently have a fluid lineup, but for the recording of Safe As Houses the lineup consisted of Zac Pennington, Sam Mickens, and Jherek Bischoff and an assorted cast of characters including Rachel Jensen and Owen [...]
Sweetly : a brilliant new record further confirming 'do your own thing' . Shortly : Sorry to intterupt Ian - I just had to step in and post how wonderful and magnificent this band is and how they need shows in Vancouver or anytown, BC on their current tour Parenthetical Girls - Oh Daughter/Disaster
