The Rosebuds have announced tour dates in February and March previewing the release of their forthcoming album Night of the Furies , which will be released on April 10th. Four of the dates on the tour, they will be opening for Yo La Tengo. About Night of the Furies : "Music is, and always has been, about storytelling – a way for people to communicate, to pass along traditions and cultural beliefs, the stuff of legend and myth, from community to community, from generation to generation. Every [...]

Courtney Cox and David Arquette dislike the paparazzi ( with good reason .) They also apparently hate plot and dialogue (no good reason,) as their (Coquette Productions) latest venture on FX, the tabloid satirical series Dirt , is a stiff and obvious morality tale on the 'kiss and tell' world of the entertainment news biz. Cox stars as tabloid editor Lucy Spiller, basically reprising her one-dimensional role as a pushy journalist in the Scream movie franchise. She can say she's not doing this show for revenge [...]

Was dabei heraus kommt, wenn ein frisch verheiratetes Paar, anstatt sich in endlichen Flitterwochen zu vergnügen, lieber eine Band gründet, hören wir bei The Rosebuds . Nur: Wenn man das Private im Öffentlichen lebt, ist da nicht der Zwist von Anfang an programmiert? Bevor ich noch weiter ins Triviale abdrifte, halte ich mich jetzt mal lieber an die mp3s. 'Birds Make Good Neighbors' ist wie geschaffen für die, die noch an Popmusik glauben. Das gefällt mir. Ansteckend und auch nachdenklich. Die Kanten weggebügelt. Manchmal muss das sein. mp3: The Rosebuds / Boxcar [...]
This week's release of a new track from the North Carolina power-couple the Rosebuds got us thinking: Why, exactly, is this band not 10 times bigger? We realize you have several options when it comes to charming, hooky indie pop, but the 'Buds' 2005 album Birds Make Good Neighbors was one of the best of last year, and a favorite at the Idolator flophouse. If you promise to buy it, we'll promise to stop pimping Merge Records artists. At least until the Superchunk reunion later this month. The Rosebuds - [...]
I've been in Cambridge (and the greater Boston area) all weekend, which has been nice in some ways (it's a great city), and just a bit depressing, since it involved a number of run-ins with the ex in the city where we used to live. Which wasn't the worst thing ever, but certainly wasn't fun. At least I got some Tealuxe , Felipe's , and Veggie Planet . As much as I enjoy Hanover, there are definitely times when I miss all that Harvard Square has to offer. Anyways, to commemorate [...]
About six months ago, I strayed from the path of writing this blog. I weaned myself off quite quickly, and within... oh say... an hour, I was finished and felt alright about my decision. I had built a nice team of 20 or so writers. Then we all departed ways at the end of the academic year. We had all planned to continue, but it proved so difficult, and I wanted to simply just lie in the sun, pretending I didn't exist. Whe time came to head back to the campus we werent heading [...]
The Blow : Pile Of Gold ( mp3 via Bigstereo ) " All the girls are sittin' on a pile of gold, all the girls, the boys you know they want it, they want it want it. " The Blow eli Khaela Maricich ja Jona Bechtolt hoitavat homman kotiin. Tuloksena viileä, tarttuva ja seksikäs kappale. Tulevalta Paper Television -albumilta (ilm. 24.10.) on lupa odottaa paljon.

I'm way behind in posting my weekly Sirius radio playlists. The last one I posted was Week 8 . Here's the playlist from Week 11 (8/15/2006). On this show I played all music that came out on Merge Records , and all music that happens to be available in MP3 format... 1) Superchunk - Becoming a Speck 2) And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Mistakes and Regrets 3) Pipe - Chula 4) Dinosaur Jr. - Forget the [...]
Thanks to Mark over at The Oak Room I was made aware that one of my favorite bands from last year has a new demo posted on their MySpace page. I like what I'm hearing from this demo (not sure if the drum machine is just a temporary touch on this song)...it's got more of what I loved in the songs from their album Birds Make Good Neighbors , namely some very fine melancholic subtly dramatic pop, and it's gotten me right excited for their next album. By the way, their next [...]
We love The Rosebuds here at gorilla vs. bear, so thanks to The Oakroom for pointing out that the band posted a link to a new demo on their myspace blog. That dancy drumbeat through me for a loop, but i like it: The Rosebuds Hold On To This Coat mp3 Also, Stereogum has a new song from Akron/Family. Finally, did I mention this was tonight?
The Rosebuds: " Hold On To This Coat " (2006 demo. Buy previous albums here .) Sneaky sneaky Rosebuds , hiding a link to a new demo in their MySpace blog ! Per a blurb in today's Independent , they are beginning work with Brian Paulson (who produced Wilco's A.M. ) on their new album. Although it's hard to tell much from one song, especially a demo, this seems to continue a move in a somewhat more moody direction from their more exuberant early tracks. They've always [...]
Thanks to mr. chris (via a discovery on the NC based oakroom blog) I got to hear a new Rosebuds song today. It's reportedly a 2006 demo that was found on thier MySpace blog page. Good detective work, oakroom . Mmmm. North Carolina pop [...]
The Rosebuds are about to begin work on their third album and they are going to let us hear some of the demos. Here's what they posted on their Myspace : a new demo for your listening pleasure..... We are gearing up to start recording our next full length record next week, and thought we would give you a sneak peek into what has been happening in Rosebuds land. Below [...]
Raleigh's Rosebuds make light-hearted guitar pop -- nothing weighty, just lots of energetic fun. There's a somewhat old-school vibe here, and bands like the Kinks are a common reference point. I'm especially fond of the loping pace of "Big Heartbreak," a slower track from Make Out , their full-length debut on Merge Records. The heart of the band is guitarist Ivan Howard and his wife, keyboardist Kelly Crisp, joined by a rotating roster of drummers (currently, it's Wes Phillips of Ticonderoga ). Here's an interview with Howard from 2003. [...]
