Dastardly's Gabe Liebowitz & August Sheeny (Photo by Audrey Leon) Chicago Americana outfit Dastardly dazzled a packed Hideout backroom with a night filled with music, comedy and a bit of supernatural fun during its first-ever variety show "Catastrophe." Wanting to break away from the more traditional concert experience, Dastardly took the room back to the days where wholesome, downhome country fun came via variety shows like Hee-Haw and the Grand Ole Opry. Of course, the night's festivities were anything but [...]
Everybody likes a good cover song. They are coming out all of the time, but only receive scattered coverage on blogs and mainstream music websites. Our approach has been to build up a solid mix of indie cover songs over time, and publish them in less frequent, but more extensive, playlists. There are some terrific cover [...] Related posts:Top Indie Songs of the Week: Grand Archives, Free Energy, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Radiohead and More Indie Cover Songs, Vol. V: The Format, Ruby Weapon, Radiohead, Broken Social Scene, Dr. Dog & Band of Horses Indie Cover Songs, Vol III: [...]
(Threadless shirt 'Night Sky Projector' by Ben Chen) Some links to kick off your Friday... Firstly, Threadless is still awesome. Listen to Josh Ritter performing live in Philadelphia here . Liz over at The Blisslist made me laugh yesterday. She's right about John Mayer, you know. Kill Rock Stars has a sampler ripe for free download , featuring artists I'm familiar with, such as The Decemberists, Horse Feathers, Thao, Elliot Smith, Gossip and Deerhoof, along with artists I don't know so much about, like [...]
I got a quickie for you guys today! This cover is so simple, yet it is so sincere! It comes from a guy named Ruby Weapon , and not too much is known about him other than the fact that he put out a beautiful cover of Grizzly Bears "Two Weeks" I can't anything official about this guy, so if you find something please let me know!

It's the last day of August – time to look back at the songs that defined Summer '09. Admittedly, the "song of the summer" thing always seems to become clearer in retrospect, but in terms of sheer ubiquity it's hard to beat the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow." In fact, the only group that can really challenge them is…the Black Eyes Peas, for the grammatical nightmare "I Gotta Feeling." Guys, "gotta" is short for "got to," not "got a." Regardless, here are the contenders. My song of the summer is number two. [...]

I also love the smell of sushi in the morning. Although, in the interests of being truthful, it's more like I love the taste of sushi in the afternoon. It's really a little too much for the morning. While you salivate over the sushi, wrap your ears around these: Malcolm Middleton and The Hold Steady teaming up to cover Bryan Adams? Why the hell not?

Just like the rest of the Internet world, we're finding it just as difficult to not keep spinning Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks" over and over, but is there anyone else out there surprised that there aren't an excessive array of remixes of the tune making it's way through the blogosphere right now? We understand how most DJ/ producers might be intimidated by the flawless original, that genius Fred Falke re-tool and that endlessly intriguing dead prez mash-up, but that hasn't stopped them from tinkering with everything else under the sun. You would think that with "Two [...]
Tuesday was a pretty slow news day there was barely anything to post and yesterday I was unable to post so I picked this up from various sources: For those of you die-hard Andrew Bird fans that have been waiting for some confirmation of another title in the "Fingerlings" series, there has been an answer. I recently e-mailed his managament and found out that he will be making another album of early versions, demos, outtakes and live versions of songs from the time that "Noble Beast" was made. There is no release [...]
Ruby Weapon - Bros (Panda Bear) Yesterday's discovery definitely has another song of the day in him. An acoustic rendition of Panda Bear's Bros as well as a beautiful take on Animal Collective's My Girls from the newly released Merriweather Post Pavillion (below). Such magic is hard to come by. Ruby Weapon - My Girls/ House (Animal Collective cover) MySpace [...]
Ruby Weapon - Two Weeks (Grizzly Bear cover) This song may just save your day. It surfaced on the net as the soundtrack to a slideshow of party pictures on YouTube. I extracted the audio and haven't been able to stop listening to it since - it's mesmeric. From what I can gather, it's by a virtual unknown going by the name of Ruby Weapon, who has uploaded a batch of Animal Collective/Panda bear cover versions, but there's little else in the way of information. Which is too bad, because I'm absolutely smitten with this. Best [...]
