"Goes On Forever" - the Catalysts Anchored by a shimmering guitar-and-harmonica sound that will take you back to the '60s even if you were never actually there, "Goes On Forever" is one part pure breeze, one part bittersweet homage to times gone by. The relentless good nature of the solid backbeat and genial melody is counteracted by enough suspended chords in the chorus to give you the impression of clouds passing in front of the sun. The words tumble out in a sort of Dylanesque swirl; some of the ones that I can [...]
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 I forgot to mention that the other night I attended another TXRD bout. It was a pretty tough match that saw the Hollyrollers and the Cherry Bombs beat each other up while constantly battling for points. The Hollyrollers pulled out a win in the end, but I have to say that it may have only been because the Cherry Bombs were getting injured left and right Crazy. If you're in Austin and have never been to a bout then you really need to go. It has honestly become [...]
mp3: soltero - sinkhole (live) mp3: soltero - out at the wall soltero is playing at the party pit in dc tonight, which is another name for some generous people's basement. i've never been there before, but it should be a good time. the last time i saw soltero play was in my friends basement in college park and i loved it (having tim dedicate one of my favorites, "the priest", to me was quite nice). if you're not familiar with soltero, i think [...]
this song has been caught in my brain since the first time i heard it, more than a month ago at a vday benefit concert to end violence against women. sometime after the inadvertently silent ribbon dancing, a blond boy with an electric guitar performed his version of " he hit me (it felt like a kiss) ," written, says wikipedia, by gerry goffen and carole king, originally performed by the crystals and arranged by phil spector . knowing, however, that he was really covering grizzly bear's friend ep cover of the crystals made me uncomfortable, the [...]

Soltero (a.k.a. Tim Howard) plays gentle folk music that jingles and rambles through the streets of Philadelphia. Soltero will release their four album, You're No Dream on May 20th. Not only did Tim move 5 times while recording this album, he devote the album to creating a smaller sound then the previous bigger, full band sounds. According to Tim, "some bands i got into or listened to around the time of this record were bo diddley, dylan's blood on the tracks/new morning, ethiopiques, stevie wonder, and lots of romantic late 50s/early 60s doo wop singers."

Apart from sailors, nobody swears more than rock stars. (Or -- wait -- is it just that nobody swears better?) Rock and pop and rap and punk all have a long and friendly history with the illicit "f" word, maybe because musicians long ago realized this singular truth: the proper detonation of an f-bomb has the power to transform a song. It shocks us out of complacency with the lyrics. It inserts a jagged edge into the chord progression. It incites a certain illicit thrill of the unexpected. Most of all, it makes us want to want to sing along, [...]

i said the other day that i'm not really into xmas music, but there are a few xmas related tunes i do enjoy. i guess what i like about these songs is that they manage to incorporate a xmas theme without beating you over the head with it. one of my favorites is "songs of the season" from soltero's 2005 album hell train . with a chorus of "could it be, could all your dreams just stop and disappear? could it be you won't get what you wanted this year?", its not your traditional xmas song, [...]
who am i? why should you care? 1) no one. 2) you shouldn't. with that out of the way... i'm going to go ahead and post music i like on this site on a semi-regular basis. i t probably won't be new, or rare, and it certainly won't be exclusive because i'm not that cool. i t's likely i will be too lazy to even include any sort of journalistic comments in most posts.

Turn it up, cheer up It takes a special kind of song to remedy a day this imperfect: your romantic interest is playing hard to get, you've just had a blowup with your roommate, your boss is riding you for overdue TPS reports , your bank account is empty, and oh yeah, it's been raining for five days straight . No matter your musical affinity, chances are Soltero's "Communist Love Song" is up to the task. With its careening rhythm, joyful, jangly chords, and nakedly cathartic vocals, it's the kind of [...]
