Tweet vaso link Between the release of the Hospitality album yesterday (which you need to get your ears on, if you haven't already) and the upcoming album from Princeton, the market for 2012 indie pop has already been effectively cornered. The Santa Monica band released the second single from their new album Remembrance of Things To Come , entitled "Florida," yesterday amidst the horror of the Republican primary taking place in that state. The band has always [...]

Tweet vaso link Tyler Lyle's been kicking around my head for the better part of the past three months, slipping in and out of my consciousness; after reading about him on Folk Hive , I headed to his Bandcamp page and streamed his fantastic debut The Golden Age & The Silver Girl for the entire work day. That happened often that week, and I've had to listen to it on a bi-weekly basis since then. Finally, after [...]

Platinum-selling alt-rockers Everclear are releasing RETURN TO SANTA MONICA on September 27, 2011. The band revisits their old musical stomping grounds with all-new recordings of their greatest hits and personal favorites. Everclear formed in Portland in 1992, but didn't find mainstream success until the single "Santa Monica" (off 1995's SPARKLE AND FADE) hit the radio waves. 1997's SO MUCH FOR THE AFTERGLOW included "I Will Buy You A New Life" and "Everything To Everyone." "Wonderful," one of Everclear's most successful singles, came [...]

![[Listen/Download] – Princeton – "Clamoring For Your Heart"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3693794_lg.jpg)
Tweet Princeton continues to give us new music two tracks at a time. This is the title track from the 73 they just put out. I love their style of minimalistic brit-rock, especially since they sound like they could be Morrissey 's younger brothers and yet they are from Santa Monica. Princeton has always had a sixth sense about knowing how to keep from doing too much and everything fits and falls into place without it feeling empty. This is [...]

Relentless Pining Bubblegum bedroom pop never sounded so fresh and joyous! Californian Zach Yudin's solo bedroom project-turned-full-band-ensem ble, Oregon Bike Trails, will be the newest release from pop purveyors Father/Daughter Records . With pitch-perfect choral harmonies and tinkling piano, this really is impeccable pop. Single 'High School Lover' hits its stride instantly with rousing, atmospheric vocals and gently rolling percussion. There's almost an R&B element to the perfect chorus with its effortless sing-ability. Creeping along with a steady pace and a lively [...]

Forewarning: yes, this is crafty corporate concept pizza. It's not as glaring of an oxymoron when the corporation in question is Lettuce Entertain You, aka, LEYE . In addition to operating such monstrosities as Big Bowl , and Ben Pao - ex-Chicagoans currently trying to "Escape from LA" can cringe... now - LEYE also operates Everest and L2O . Everest was just listed as the 10th most expensive restaurant in the US , and L2O received 3 whopping Michelins this year . Between Everest and L2O, LEYE claims four [...]

All that sun and fun in Barbados sure did Rihanna good. The pop star was positively glowing as she stepped out back home in California last night (August 12) for dinner with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. RiRi showed off her natural beauty, wearing minimal makeup on her sun-kissed skin and her curly hair pulled away from her face. Break time is almost over for Rihanna. She'll get back to work and performing at a concert in Finland on August 15. photos: PCN
