Private Eleanor Baltimore, Maryland United States It's been another hard week and I'm feeling a little lazy this evening so tonight's post is just a reprint of the words on the Private Eleanor Last.FM site. Now you know I wouldn't normally do this but it's a really well written and accurate portrayal that sums them up better than I probably could. [...]

Today, being the infamous V-Day, should be the day to sit down, light a fire (or a candle), find a companion, and listen to Private Eleanor (if you don't have a companion, that's okay too. Celebrate yourself!). A local band, Private Eleanor, has played around town for many years, so much so that they recently went on an indefinite hiatus. Though I am completely heartbroken that there aren't any imminent shows lined up for them (except for an intimate show on Feb. 25th @ the Galaxy Hut in VA), I am still comforted by the [...]

Each week we take a listen to some of the top songs from elbows, review them and then give our selection of alternative tracks that we believe should be getting more recognition Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings "100 Days 100 Nights" This is a straight up motown throwback band that is done really well and are very talented. The song is catchy and has what a lot of rock songs lack today, a talented singer and a good melody. I only wish they might have added a little bit [...]

Godamn this band is really good. We'd earlier written up Private Eleanor on the basis of their great 2005 release No Straight Lines which came in through the inbox by way of Austin Stahl. This new album Sweethearting may top that one. The same influences and RIYLs are in effect here. Topping [...]
