I know, it's only been a week, but since I don't have any excuses for my laziness anymore, I feel guilty. Which means, this is going to be a ridiculously long post with lots of music. I don't have much time, so a few sentences about each albums/songs/whatever should be doing it. Here we go: New Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree - old news, I know. Still, it is awesome. It's nothing like Supernature,

Yesterday was just another day at the office, at least for the most part. Feeling frisky, the desire for new music lingered around in my head. The universe picked up these traveling brainwaves and granted me a surprise in my inbox yesterday afternoon. Lo and behold, a group from Portland, Oregon called [...]
The SS mailbox got a note from Ryan Caroll of Saturna, a five-piece from Portland that'll be opening the West coast swing of Bob Mould's District Line tour in March. Ryan sent over an mp3 for their single "Pop Rocks,"...
Once again, it was extremely difficult to assemble this list of my favorite songs of 2007. While I was able to narrow down the songs I wanted for my top 25 in about a week of constant listening, I spent a much longer time trying to decide in which order each song should appear. Finally, I just came to a point where I decided that all of these songs are fabulous and so the "ranking" of them should be taken with a grain of salt. 25. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room [...]

I think I might make myself a cupcake for getting down into the 100s as a number of unread emails rather than the 300 it was yesterday! Yay me! And you might notice that I've tapped into a new resource to help you attain albums you think you'll like. More from that monstrosity and from other places I keep up with stuff... **For all the Brits out there, Atlanta's long time residents, the Hiss , will be hitting the UK in October and November. Visit their website for more info on where to see them. [...]

Saturna has continued to get amazing radio support all over North America. Big thanks to Lisa Wood for playing Just For Thrills on KEXP 's Audioasis in Seattle, WA and on KUFO 's Marconi Show in Portland OR. Saturna is excited to still be in the Top 10 on San Francisco's Bagel Radio , coming in this week at number 8. Thanks a ton Ted!

Saturna - Periwinkle (Nexus Underground 2007) Saturna - Some Delicious Enemy / Nexus Underground When you think Portland and music, what do you think of? If you've been reading a whole lot of Spin or Tiny Mix Tapes , you may be thinking in the vein of The Decemberists or Mirah or The Thermals. If you've been reading us, you may be thinking Lifesavas or Gouseion (you music-savvy devil , you). If you don't read any of those things and don't really care about [...]
Its been a good couple of weeks for Saturna. We played an awesome show in Seattle with The High Violets , Levator and Romance (thanks to Seattlest for the show preview). Last week in Portland we played the KEXP PDXplore showcase with The Purrs , Shorthand For Epic and Bombs Into You and this Saturday played Rock Paper Scissors at the Division St. Fair with Southerly , The Lightning Bugs, Theda Bara , and a bunch of other bands. [...]
Let's say you're at a bar, a DJ is spinning brit-rock and you're having a good time. You'd normally expect to hear ' Rocks ' by Primal Scream . But the DJ can't find that disc. Instead, he/she puts on Pop Rocks by Saturna . You're just as satisfied. They're a band from Portland, OR, music in the vein of BRMC , Secret Machines , Spiritualized and The Dandy Warhols . The new material (off Some Delicious Enemy) is equal parts ' fuzzy, driving, [...]
Big thanks to Tom from the Bag of Songs blog in Philadelphia for his review of Some Delicious Enemy . He says, "It's an incredibly infectious blend of massive sounding guitars and powerful drumming, topped with soaring, reverb soaked vocals as melodic as Oasis used to know how to write." He also compares Saturna to Lush, Ride, and Stone Roses. Tom says its, " A perfect summer album " and " A best of 2007 contender for sure ." He also linked to Roll Down [...]
If you're a fan of bands like Ride , Lush , Catherine Wheel or The Stone Roses you need to add Portland, Oregon's Saturna to your list. Their new album Some Delicious Enemy more than holds it's own against any of those band's releases. It's an incredibly infectious blend of massive sounding guitars and powerful drumming, topped with soaring, reverb soaked vocals as melodic as Oasis [...]
Big thanks to Christy from Bring Me Up for her review of Some Delicious Enemy. She says that Saturna reminds her of Sonic Youth and that, " It would be criminal to overlook this band ." She gives Saturna some amazing compliments saying, "My favorite track is Roll Down ," and Leader Of The Western Stars is "Incredibly beautiful." She also concludes that, "You will find the entire album is full of possible favorites." Read the entire review here: http://scrink.com/blog/music/2 007/07/saturna.html
Saturna Some Delicious Enemy launched on June 12, 2007 by Nexus Underground. Brian Addison and Tony Lash mixed the disc. Less than a month later they were invited to play MusicfestNW in Portland, Oregon! This is a huge deal because Saturna will be sharing the stage with acts such as Spoon, Wolf Parade and The Thermals! They are also charting at #1 on Bagel Radio from San Francisco. Sounds like success to me, but it's not until you hear their music that [...]
Tons of things are happening in the world of Saturna and there has been a lot of buzz in the blogosphere about it. The Punk Guy in NYC has listed Saturna on their New Music Links and posted Pop Rocks along with songs from The Moths , La Cacahouette , Theo & The Skyscrapers and other great bands. http://www.thepunkguy.com/2007 /07/11/morning-music-links-new -music-vids-sites/ The Neo-Surrealist Movement has listed Some [...]

I have a soft spot in my heart for bands that embody that timeless dark-romantic dreampop sound that made bands like SLOWDIVE and RIDE so special. SATURNA are another great new band from Portland, Oregon, with a brand new LP called "Some Delicious Enemy". The ten song set is a dreampop juggernaut, echoing the blistering atmospherics of early 90's shoegazer bands. Tasteful electronic touches elevate that nostalgic sound into something more along the lines of CURVE or early 2000's era PRIMAL SCREAM. "Some Delicious Enemy" is also a solid rock album wherein [...]
