Again the shows are hard to come by (don't worry there's a ton in the next few days). One you might have to make a bit of a trek to. Messiah College has the sweet sound of Pattern Is Movement playing tonight. If you'd like to stick closer to home. DC9 in DC has a great electronic evening set up for you with Wax Fang, Dub Trio, and Outernational. Enjoy! mp3: Pattern Is Movement - Right Away If you liked this post, check these out: [...]

Usually T-Sides is a stickler for not releasing any sort of "Best of the Year" list until the year is actually over. However, because I had to write-up my list earlier than that for Bullz-Eye , and perhaps maybe a little bit because I wanted to be part of the Hype Machine Zeitgeist (yeah, I'll admit it, you guys won), the T-Sides Top 10 lists are ready now. Breaking from the norm once again, I'm starting the year end review with the top albums, which I normally like to end with. So please check back over the [...]

The year is soon coming to an end, the college students are done the first semester and heading home and looking for something to do. Quite a few shows during the week for those looking for something to fill the time usually spent working or studying. Photo from artist myspace Playing back-to-back nights at the Birchmere, Aimee Mann is having a sort of homecoming (born in Midlothian, VA). Out on tour promoting @#%&*! Smilers , these shows Monday and Tuesday are sure to [...]
by bmac So as you've probably noticed we changed up our music player this week. The skinny being that you can now stream music without interruption while surfing different pages. We're gonna pimp out the player with download buttons, etc. but in the meantime you can right click the artist and track names to download individual songs. You can also get them all at once in the zip below. Change is good. We're pushing things forward. Gone are the winters of discontent... Grab em [...]

Tonight in Baltimore don't miss Rafter at the Hexagon. Should be a good one. If you're down south in DC Phosphorescent plays DC9 with Virgin Forest, and The Rosewood Thieves play the Red and the Black with Bamboo Shoots. Also in DC are Karina and Aphrodizia by Yoko K at the Black Cat. Up in Philly the Khyber has Electric Six, Local H, and the Golden Dogs while Johnny Brenda's has Subtle, Zach Hill (formerly of Hella), and Pattern Is Movement. That's a fine list of shows! mp3: Rafter - Salt [...]
Those "bearded slobs" from Pattern is Movement warmed up the Knitting Factory last night with a blisteringly beautiful, yet entirely too brief, set of avant prog pop. Chances that the entire audience has "Right Away" stuck in their collective head for a week as a result? Nearly 100%. Check out the slide show above, song and live dates below. Listen: "Right Away" See Pattern is Movement live: 19 November @ Wesleyan University - Middletown, CT 20 [...]
Who: Subtle, Zach Hill, + Pattern Is Movement Where: Knitting Factory (Main Stage) When: 8pm Cost: $14 What to Expect: For fans of drummers or crazy propulsive music this show is for you. Chris Ward (drummer of Pattern Is Movement), Zach Hill, and of course the whole rhythm section of Subtle, create beats that are insane, defying standard times and signatures and propelling their band's sounds to

Monday: Little Joy @ Virgin Megastore 7pm FREE Like I said for their show last week at Mercury Lounge, anytime a member of The Strokes shows up in New York - whether it's for a side project or anything else - it is an event to behold. Now you can get in for free to catch the excellent new stuff from Fabrizio Moretti and the rest of his Little Joy group. This may be a packed event so get there a
We're kind of confused about why so many people are gaga over that puppycam or whatever, but this is definitely some animal cuteness we can get behind. Philly duo Pattern Is Movement received this vid from a friend whose cat scratched the band's LP. No literally, the cat remixed "Right Away." What it is, MC Kitteh. Let's see those puppies do that.

This is simply too cute not to post! Visit Pattern Is Movement on MySpace. MP3: Pattern Is Movement - Right Away

I have wanted to post about Pattern is Movement for a while now, and today is the time to drop some knowledge. Pattern is Movement is Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward . At first glance, one may easily mistake the duo for a pair of truckers or movers in search for a good burger joint. They just look the part. Yet, this brawny, bearded, and balding duo shouldn't be judged by its appearance, but rather by the character of [...]

Chairlift, Bryan Scary, Pattern Is Movement, Au, Rumspringa & A Brief Smile. MP3: Chairlift - Make Your Mind Up (Live On WOXY)
There can be slight movements in the patterns of nature and even in repetitive and angular man-made patterns, the perception of movement can certainly present itself. Those sorts of ambiguous and confounding statements might just as well describe the music of Pattern Is Movement as typical music descriptors. The group is a duo comprised of Chris Ward and Andrew Thiboldeux who, on their latest album All Together , masterfully craft dramatically off-kilter and orchestrated indie pop that is many things if not stunning. It is the inaccessibly accessible beauty found in the futuristic pastoral [...]

Η κατηγοριοποίηση σε ένα συγκεκριμένο είδος μουσικής και η παραδοχή της επιρροής κάποιων συγκροτημάτων ή καλλιτεχνών στον ήχο τους, νομίζω θα συμφωνήσετε μαζί μου πως είναι δύο πράγματα που όλα τα νέα συγκροτήματα απεχθάνονται. Είναι όμως πραγματικά δύσκολο, με όλη αυτή την υπερπληθώρα νέων ονομάτων και την υπερπροσφορά μουσικής, για κάποιον που απλά θέλει να περιγράψει, με δυο λόγια, τον ήχο μιας νέας μπάντας, να το κάνει χωρίς να αναφέρει ένα δύο χαρακτηριστικά ονόματα που η μπάντα αυτή θυμίζει. Η εύκολη λύση, καταφεύγω σ΄αυτή πολύ συχνά κι εγώ, το παραδέχομαι. Στην περίπτωση του γενειοφόρου [...]
So I've been playing with the idea of doing a weekly Top 10 list for sometime now, and though it's a completely unoriginal and oft used idea here in the blog world I thought I'd provide you with some of my own personally generated lists. 'Cause let's face it everyone loves lists! You can debate them, make up your own, argue about them, berate the author of the list for his personal biases, they
