Emerging from the same Louisville post-hardcore scene that spawned Squirrel Bait and Slint , Rodan reportedly formed in 1992 out of a failed high school rap project. The band maintained a serious cult following over the years and now fans of their only LP, Rusty , should get excited. On June 11th, Quarterstick Records will release Fifteen Quiet Years , a collection of Rodan recordings including a 1994 BBC Peel session together with out-of-print 7 Inch and compilation tracks. Back in 2009, Jeff Mueller and [...]
10 Experimental shape-shifting greats. The post 10 Essential Post-Rock Albums appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .
What can I say about Slint that I didn't already say in my 2008 Spiderland post ? I kept it short back then, but I pretty much covered the bases: they were an excellent band that has been very influential over the years and they were phenomenal live, even almost twenty years after anyone thought they'd be playing shows. I knew all this back in the '90s but it took me a long time to have the patience to sit down with their records - or I should really say "record," because Spiderland [...]
I hope you have enjoyed the run down of the New Year Ninety which is only made possible by the readers as it isn't an Editors picklist - so thank you once again for taking the time for me to witter on and continuing to read the website. The most common question I am asked is - How can I XYZ get reviewed - well the simple answer is - drop me some music - If you are a band or a supporter - please - do drop me a note. I will always get there - you [...]
Timing is everything for a band or musician that wants to see their record chart high on the end of year lists. Release your album too late and you’ll have missed the party altogether, too early and you run the risk of being forgotten when decision time comes. So it is no mean feat that Attack on Memory , released waaay back in January, has charted so high on our list. Attack on Memory came as a slap in the face to those who heard [...]

David Pajo's musical resume is long: Slint, Tortoise, Zwan, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol . And that's just a partial list. Tonight he plays a super early show at the Burlington as Papa M , his solo moniker. The show starts at 7 p.m. and it's only 10 bucks.
![[The Past Presents] Slint – “Spiderland”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4380897_lg.jpg)
The Past Presents revisits revered albums from the past 20-25 years to ask the question, “Is this album still a classic, or has it lost its edge over the years?”. Was it a great record for that particular time and place, or is it something we’ll be passing on to our kids? It also looks at the “lost classics” – countless albums that should have earned more attention but for one reason or another fell through the cracks. At this point it’s safe to say that most people who consider themselves [...]
A show that I billed as a must see this past Tuesday definitely lived up to its expectations. I met up with our photographer Brian Gray, and we jammed it out. Alan Resnickopened up with a brief sketch/comedy show...approximately 15 minutes. I can't really explain the details, other than the show revolved around creating an avatar to live on once you were dead. Moments were funny, moments were odd, but it was definitely something different to kick off the evening. From then on, we [...]
Next week, Neil Young and Crazy Horse will issue Americana , their first album in nine years, comprised entirely of reworked classic, American folk songs. In celebration of its release, Consequence of Sound decided to turn the tables and put together a list of our favorite covers of Young's exhausting back catalogue. There are plenty - hundreds of them - and they stretch back to as far as the '60s and '70s. Because we couldn't include them all, the list has been cut to a healthy collection of 25 solid inclusions. Something [...]

I tend to think that the term “post rock" is pretentious, the same way whenever someone drops "post-whatever" outside the context of a term paper how it's almost always lazy and represents an unwillingness to look closer at shifting trend. I considered writing this commentary with a post-modern style framework to illustrate the point, but it turns out I wasn't smart enough to pull that off. I'm not Mark Z. Danielewski over here. Anyway, no genre name is ever cool. The monikers of punk, shoegaze, and chillwave, among others, were all originally intended as insults by some [...]
top of the evening everyone. hope everyone has recovered from their holiday festivities. i am in the process of doing so, or at least my liver is. anyone got anything exciting going on for new years? i got nothing, and actually since about 1999, i havent really given a shit about going out. actually the last time i had a great new years was the year prior, 98. in was an unusually warm chicago night and with that being the case we walked all over the city with a shopping cart in tow for most of the night - dont [...]
Watch Wu Lyf cover Papa M's 'Krusty' at the KEXP studios.
Words by Rick Moslen So this is the series where I ramble on about classic indie/punk record labels fated to feed every music junkie’s obsessive fix. This time I’m gushing about possibly the mother of them all. Hold onto your butts and stuff some earplugs up those earlobes, cause it’s time for some raw, spazzing rock n’roll from Touch and Go Records. I know what you’re thinking ... how can I rope Touch and Go ’s extensive yet essential history into a mere blog post? That’s like leaving your [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: If we were to shoot a band up in space in the late 19902s and then they landed back on earth in late 2011 they would probably sound similar to the music on Lenses Alien by Cymbals Eat Guitars . Ageless and pure indie rock that was somehow incapsulated in this experiment of fluid guitars; almost as if anything that may have come before may have somehow influenced them in a magnetically sealed hyperbolic chamber. Never afraid to just let it fucking rip Joe & his rock-o-naughts launch you into the outer rim in [...]
Bosse-de-Nage // ii I received a promo of this album and not having heard anything from this black metal band before I eagerly dove into it and absolutely loved what I found there. Plus out of all the different styles of metal that are out there, black metal is probably the one that I am least versed in so I’m always looking to make myself more familiar. I think the thing that first drew me into the music on this album is how raw it [...]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS if I only had the time. You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you [...]
Like many genre titles, "math rock" is a label abhorred by pretty much everyone that it's been applied to. But that doesn't make it any less fitting a description for the complex, highly rhythmic guitar music that emerged from the Midwest in the early 1990s. Math rock grew out of hardcore, working with the basic elements of rock 'n' roll — guitar, bass, drums — but shifting the emphasis away from melody toward rhythm and sonic dynamics. The result was a distinctive sound characterized by sonic minimalism, robotic drumming, and strange time signatures. The genre arguably had its heyday in the '90s, [...]
