The long days of what has been a brutally hot and humid summer for many areas of the United States, Europe and Russia are beginning to wane as August tips towards September.

Hace algunos meses, en MySpace apareció la cuenta de un proyecto llamado The Electronic Anthology Project . Durante un tiempo la cuenta de myspace estuvo inactiva, hasta ahora. El dúo conformado por Doug Martsch y Brett Nelson , sí, los mismos de Built to Spill . Para todos aquellos que creen que desde Sebadoh , Guided by Voices , Superchunk y Built to Spill no han habido bandas que puedan superarlos, The Electronic Anthology Project presenta un EP homónimo que cuenta con 7 versiones nuevas de canciones [...]

May as well follow yesterday's somber elegance with a blast of emotionally malformed crunch pop. I used to crank this up to 10 in high school. I still love how the bass sounds like it's tearing out its own eyeballs. Almost as much as I love this album cover. Sebadoh - Magnet's Coil
There is something very likable about Slothbear, even in addition to their name. Their sound recalls the best parts of vintage college-rock, which is presented with clarity through the band's surprisingly adept methods of self-production. The feel of restraint that is often associated with home recordings is absent on Slothbear's debut EP Qids, and instead [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours For a band whose members bounced around the Los Angeles indie circuit for years, Everest has led something of a charmed life since forming in 2007. The five-piece Americana rock group, led by frontman Russell Pollard ( Sebadoh , Folk Implosion , Alaska!) and guitarist/keyboardist Jason Soda (The Watson Twins , Slydell), recorded their debut effort, 'Ghost Notes,' in just a few weeks. They were quickly scooped up by Neil Young 's Vapor Records, which released the [...]
Sorry, guys. Yesterday was a little busy and then I had to go play a show. As a result, I was OSS derelict. I hope you can forgive me. As usual, two songs today is my way of trying to make it up to you. You know how most of the time, the book is better than the movie. I usually feel this way about covers too--the original almost always trumps the cover. However, in this case, I feel completely torn. Both versions of this song are fucking fantastic. Sebadoh [...]

We were thumbing through the Buzzgrinder microfiche archives, and we found this article from Matt DeBenedictis that never made it up, extolling the virtues of Shellac 's Terraform on its 10th anniversary. Even though that was a while back, we can't deprive the loyal Buzzgrinderers from this bit of nostalgia. So have at it. It's been 10 years since Shellac released their second LP, Terraform , but nothing changes about Shellac over the years. They are still juggernauts that exist between the lines of noise rock [...]
Check out this link to a superb article with the following indie rock label luminaries: Maggie Vail and Portia Sabin from Kill Rock Stars Gerard Cosloy from Matador Mac McCaughan from Merge Robb Nansel from Saddle Creek Chris Swanson and Darius Van Arman from Jagjaguwar / Secretly Canadian / Dead Oceans That's Mac from Merge (my favorite label), plus representatives from Jagjaguwar (my second favorite I think, if I were ranking) [...]

So I met Sasha Grey, well, technically. When you have someone that you full on worship right in front of you, it's pretty difficult to not look like a complete idiot. I mean if you had let's say, Johnny Depp in front of you, you're not going to be able to come up with some witty comment that will get him to invite you to dinner with his wife and kids, what you are going to do though, is awkwardly ask for a picture, or in my case, ask for his agent's email for no apparent reason. There goes my [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Before they were in the Hold Steady , Craig Finn and Tad Kubler were members of Lifter Puller , a rock outfit that was a fixture on the Minneapolis scene. After releasing a few albums, the post-punk quartet called it quits in 2000 but found a wider audience in the subsequent years. Thanks to renewed fan interest, Lifter Puller's entire catalogue will be reissued with bonus material and an oral history on Dec. 1, letting Hold Steady fans hear [...]
Whereas the original song (by British electropop duo La Roux ) is all sheen and hard candy shellac, Lou Barlow 's interpretation of it is almost haunting. For me when I hear the original , it feels like sparkly nights out dancing, and the lines that stand out are the ones about " been there, done that, messed around, I'm having fun, don't put me down ." She's bulletproof the way a cartoon superhero is; she doesn't bleed real blood. But here Lou takes it and turns [...]
It's hard to write a review of an album by someone considered by a lot of people to be something of a demi-god of his genre, particularly when your knowledge of his work is pretty thin. So I am warning anyone with a slightly more than healthy relationship with Sebadoh in particular to bear in mind before reading this that I really like One Part Lullaby by Folk Implosion, although I haven't listened to it for ages and, despite the impassioned urgings of a succession of friends, barely know a thing about Sebadoh. In fact I haven't really sat down [...]
Filed under: Band of the Week Japandroids . It's the kind of name which conjures up visions of Blade Runner-esque mechanical replicants doing their automaton activities under the cold glare of Tokyo streetlights. Sadly, the band in question aren't shiny mechanical musicians built by some far-thinking Japanese industrial concern, but a very much carbon-based duo from Vancouver, Canada. A duo that manage to make one hell of a racket. According to their own press, the word is "maximal" -- "a two piece band trying to sound like a [...]
Solo careers are always measured against an artist's original band. For example, Chester Bennington's new solo band isn't described as a hard rock influenced pop album...it's considered a poppier version of Linkin Park. The Dead Weather isn't a sonic dirgy blues explosion...it's a bluesier version of the White Stripes. And Lou Barlow's new album (Goodnight Unknown) isn't a singer-songwriter
Another Lefse Records name that has been coming out of the woods is Tape Deck Mountain . The San Diego trio's new album, Ghost , set to be released November 17, features the slow, murky almost psychedelic lo-fi is akin (according to Brandon at Stereogum ) the likes of 90's lo-fi legends My Bloody Valentine , Sonic Youth , and Sebadoh . So it sounds roughly like all of them and nothing like them at the same time. Tape Deck [...]
