I'm so sick of the term 'post-punk'. It used to mean something. It began as an inextricable link to the murky machinations of the era that followed punk's golden age three decades ago. It was a gloomy, intellectual answer to the brazen, self-righteous dignities of London's underground hardcore scene. Manchester, Factory Records, Ian Curtis-they all bleed with the aftermath of the punk music apex. Somewhere along the way, it was corrupted into a term used to describe anything that sounded like Joy Division. That seems dubious and unfair to both that untouchable band and the ones that came after it. [...]
Hello there. Here are some new developments from some of the bands you and I have been tracking recently. Some are local, some are not, all may be worth your time...that is, if your time is valuable. If you've got some sort of lazy/sloth/no-energy thing goin' on, I can't help you. You can only help yourself. Get off the couch. Jaguar Love - This Portland band's first record, Take Me to the Sea on Matador Records, hit stores yesterday (Aug 19th). Johnny [...]

It was like when you're a kid and your dog dies, only the dog didn't die per se, it just sort of stopped licking your face or something. Okay, bad analogy, but we're stoked like mad about the two (!) bands that have stemmed from the dissolve of the group. Like At The Drive-In before them, The Blood Brothers split and subsequent bands will certainly have their fair share of loyal fans for one and only one group, [...]

Nilina Mason-Campbell posts: Maybe it's that I saw the second ever Jaguar Love gig, but that band of ex-Blood Brothers just didn't wow me when I stumbled upon them opening for New Young Pony Club last October. However, it was quite the opposite when I caught another fraction of ex-Blood Brother this weekend at Situations in [...]
Here are a few snapshots of my weekend, along with some brief reactions. Overall, the sound on the mainstage sucked and somebody sold too many tickets, but, as always, the positives (sneaking my flask in, doling out amateur fashion criticism) outweighed the negatives (motorheads, achey knees). Oh, and the music was top-notch. As always. Past Lives One of the bands I was [...]
