There's no propriety in writing a serious review of a show that turned into my birthday celebration. Besides, after two decades and still at the top of their game, Scottish rockers Teenage Fanclub would almost have to try mount a show I considered lousy. On Monday at the El Rey, the Scotsmen played loud and long, and with enormous instrumental, vocal and emotional clarity. Messaged a female colleague: "If Normal Blake smiles one more time, I'm just going to jump onstage and give him a big hug." And from a male colleague: "They could have played [...]

A Good Day For Airplay
Asleep on the compost heap
I think it must be nearly a year since this list began. Hardcore. Shit's percolated and settled since then, like sedimentary rock yo. Worthy albums which were included in the prototype list have since popped into my head. I think I mentioned this problem in an earlier post and said I would retroactively insert them into the list in the spirit of no brother gets left behind. So here goes, I will write a little bit about each album and suggest a suitable position for it on the list. By the [...]

The Bay Bridged
I ended up at Dan Sung Sa again, a rare late night eatery in Oakland, and a new personal fave. They are open evenings only from 6pm-2am. The walls are plastered with vintage Korean movie posters and most of the seats are in cute little curtained booths. If you find yourself in Oakland after midnight, check them out at 2775 Telegraph. The spicy pork is delicious. The menu is extensive and includes chicken gizzards, snail salad and yogurt soju! Just prior, LA based Radar Brothers played the Rickshaw Stop [...]

[Happy birthday to Duran Duran's Roger Taylor, who hits the big five-oh today. It's just a number, y'know ...] Aqualung , the nom de tune of British singer-songwriter Matt Hales, last week released its sixth album, "Magnetic North." It sounds a bit like Beck-as-a-piano-man in places, Chris Martin-as-Beck in others and Mark Everett-as-Chris Martin in others; the album features guest turns from Sara Bareilles and Alison Sudol (A Fine Frenzy); and it's his first material since he took up residence in our fair city. Hales plays the cozy [...]

Filed under: New Music Superchunk 's Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance created Merge Records in 1989 simply as a way to release their music and help out some of their friends. Things have come a long way in 21 years. The Durham, North Carolina-based label marked its 20th anniversary last year by staging a music festival, as well as releasing a box set, two compilations and a book. Over the years, Merge has put out more than 350 records by the likes of [...]

I really dislike doing The Graboid is such huge chunks like this, but rather than skipping weeks, this is how it'll have to be done until I get this back to being a weekly posting. That being said, there have been a ton of great releases over the past few weeks with one in particular from last week that I've been extremely excited about: the self-titled LP from Black Tambourine . It isn't exactly "new" material, but a complete compilation of their material from the early 90s (they only lasted two years). [...]

Radar Bros. , "The Illustrated Garden" (Merge) — "I want you, I need you / Right now, my life's on a cereal box," Jim Putnam sings on "Quarry," and you're not sure whether he's entranced in a moment of morning reverie or fretting over his bio. It's probably not the latter — Putnam has been making literate, engaging indie-pop since Silver Lake was a neighborhood you'd think twice to walk through. "The Illustrated Garden," Radar Bros.' sixth album and fourth for Merge, finds its sylvan nucleus in plants, animals and, yes, even "People." Putnam's understated vocal melodies and lovingly [...]
