Is there a tougher night to play than the last night of a three-day weekend? There were about 15 people at Union Hall last night and that includes whichever bands weren't on-stage at the time. But the show must go on, and it did and all three bands put on brave faces and had a good time despite facing a mostly-empty room. I'm not sure why Norway's Sissy Wish hasn't gotten more attention in American. Maybe it's the name, which is off-putting. "What am I doing tonight? Going to see Sissy Wish [...]

Sissy Wish "Beauties Never Die" - It's not necessarily our responsibility to make sure that our partners and loved ones are happy, but it is often what we desire and set out to accomplish. I mean, that's what love really is, right? Support, affection, being there. That's what this song is about -- "it takes some time to build you up and make you happy every day." It's effort, it's perseverance, it's the emotional investment. It's the disappointment of feeling like you're failing someone even when there's only so much you can do to lift someone [...]
Speck Mountain "Girl Out West" - This song is nearly nine minutes long, but it feels as though it's nothing more than a few steps on a pilgrimage by foot from New York to the edge of California. The progress is maddeningly slow, but with every moment, you're closer to the destination, or at least closer than if you never made the crazy decision to start walking in the first place. ( Click here to buy it via Speck Mountain's MySpace page.) Sissy Wish "Yayaya" [...]
Sissy Wish - Beauties Never Die Sissy Music/SonyBMG, !Mart, 2007 Sissy Wish - DWTS(mp3) Sissy Wish - Beauties Never Die(mp3)
DWTS float www.sissywish.com I just recently discovered Sissy Wish, which I assumed from the name would be a boy band, not a Boy Band but an actual band made up of guys. I don't know why, sometimes you just make assumptions based on band names. But then I heard the music and I realized there was no way a guy could ever sing this high. I don't even think I could sing this high. This is [...]
Since I only trotted out this six pack format once about a year ago , I figure it's not too repetitive to give it another go. By comparing the two, you'll notice I'm much more zen than I was last year, which I attribute entirely to a lower '07 humidity level. Hopefully I haven't jinxed our run of exemplary NYC weather too badly by acknowledging this fact. Avril Lavigne f. Lil' Mama - "Girlfriend" (Remix) I was shocked by how [...]
I don't know why you still love me with all the promises I've broken lately, but I take pride in the fact that I did deliver a Springtime dance party while it was still actually Spring. Moral victories, people. LCD Soundsystem - "Freak Out / Starry Eyes" It's been no guarded secret that the MS gang has a big ol' man (and occasional lady) crush on James Murphy right now, but the dude keeps on sexin' it out and we can't [...]
Sissy Wish "Float" - "Float" seems to fall into the emotional space that comes just before a moment of clarity and relaxation, and not too long after a major crisis. It's exciting and refreshing, but really, it's just a prelude to something more profound. The music expresses the song's emotional narrative more effectively than the lyrics, which mostly just offer advice and reassuring words. The verses are supported by a spare, slightly nervous electronic groove, but as the song shifts into its chorus, the song is carried by a more confident beat. The track's most glorious [...]

Now that SXSW 2007 is in the books, there are still a few bands from the festival I would like to feature. Instead of posting random, second hand and mostly painful accounts of the event (ok ok, I'm jealous I couldn't attend this year) as it happened, I will take some time and spread things out a bit. Plenty of you, like myself, who read about music might be suffering from Post
Marit Bergman's 2nd entry: "AUSTIN (Day 1) Finally! We have now been travelling for two days and two nights. Feels like we´re a gang of hobbits heading for Mordor and not a bunch of Swedes heading for Austin and SXSW. Or at least like some very old fashioned way of travelling and like we might as well have taken the boat. (Would have helped the environmental angst that these flying miles bring along with them!) Anyways, we´re doing fine, and it really could have been much worse. We met the norwegian band Sissy [...]
The Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, and Iceland have sent many artists to entertain at previous SXSW festivals, but this year is especially good. This is a collection of all the Nordic bands and artists I could find appearing at SXSW. This is by no means all of them... although you surely can't quibble at forty-five free mp3s, can you? David and The Citizens (Sweden - pictured above) a heart and a hand and the love for a band big Chill let's not fall apart [...]
Hin ótrúlega tónlistar-, nýmiðlunar-, kvikmynda- og kúltúrhátíð South By Southwest er haldin, í tuttugasta skipti, níunda til átjánda mars í Austin í Texasfylki. Sjálfur hef ég ekki verið svo frægur að vera viðstaddur þessa merku uppákomu en það er svo sannarlega á langtímaplaninu að skella sér. Það sem heillar mig mest við þessa hátíð er að sjálfsögðu tónlistin en hundruðir, ef ekki þúsundir, flytjenda koma fram á henni. Hvert ár eru aðstandendur hátíðarinnar svo innilega rausnalegir að gefa, frjáls til niðurhals, haug af lögum með flestum þeirra sem þar troða upp. Það þarf ekki að fjölyrða um allar [...]
I can't guarantee I'll be at SXSW this year, but if plans go well I'll end up going with camera in hand documenting every show we see. That being said, I figured I'd check out some of the bands I didn't know from the insanely long list of bands playing this year. Here's some that caught my fancy. Since there's so many bands, I figured I'd split them up based on the genre they give. Today I look at the pop genre. Ferraby Lionheart - A Crack in Time Let's Go Sailing - [...]
