The page of the calendar is about to turn again and that brings me to my Septmeber Concert Calendar complete with mp3's and everything! It's a month that is packed with shows, and in all honesty I am not posting everything I want to go to, just the biggest ones that I want to go to. It should be another fantastic month for live music!!! As always if you want to get me in for free please feel free
It hasnt been long since we said goodbye to Grandaddy and the great tunes those guys layed on us over the years, and Ive been searching for a proper replacement when I need a good technolgy love story gone bad. Well, what ive found certainly is not the second coming of Jason Lytle, but Foundry Field Recordings do tip their respective caps to the boys from Modesto in their sound. Though they will probably hate me for the Grandaddy mention, theyve heard it before. Foundry hails from Columbia, Missouri and with the exception of Someone [...]
Short post today. The three artists featured today all had songs on the Summer Burn discs I received. Random Song 1: 50 Cent - Window Shopper Bonus: Lily Allen - Nan You're A Window Shopper (demo/50 Cent cover) Nike Drake I had never listened to any of Nick Drake's tunes until recently. Shocking, I know, but I am just being honest. I always heard much [...]
The fall album season has officially begun. Many new releases are beginning to hit your record stores and online outlets. Here are some of the notable ones from this week.... Cursive: Happy Hollow At Conception ( mp3 ) Eric Bachmann: To The Races Lonesome Warrior ( mp3 ) Headlights: Kill Them with Kindness Put Us Back Together ( mp3 ) [...]
Wow... today was a great day for releases. Well, unless you're broke, then it's going to suck having to make a choice of what to buy. I've gone through the list of todays releases and picked out the ones that have been raising eyebrows. If I missed anything you've been loving, then tell me what I missed and why you love it. Broadcast - Future Crayon Illumination - mp3 [...]
In celebration of their recent signing to Polyvinyl and the upcoming reissue of their buzzworthy 2005 debut Broom , Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin gets treated to another reissue right here: a review that first ran on October 30, 2005. New content will return on Tuesday.
Last year something wonderful happened. The basically unknown Missouri band with the funny name Someone Still Loves Boris Yeltsin uploaded a few songs to their website. Within weeks they were plastered all over every music website that wasn't sleeping in a hole. Broom , the album that these songs called home, displayed some of the finest, effortlessly amazing pop songs my ears had heard in a long while. Plus, you gotta love a band who puts their home phone number on their website. It wasn't long before [...]
It's easy to confuse the ubiquity of acts like Beirut and Tapes N' Tapes with strong album sales, but the fact is, those bands have probably sold less than 10,000 records combined. Based on the strength of blog-hype alone, these days an unsigned band can sell out Webster Hall and other major indie venues [...]
Well friends, today I start my first official day at work . That's right. I no longer will be complaining/sharing tales of the unemployed world, much to your dismay. Someone actually found me worthy of a hire. But in all seriousness, thank you to all of you who sent me words of encouragement over the last few months. It was super nice, and meant the world to me. This weekend I was packing up the Brooklyn apartment, which resulted in some trips down memory lane. I found some incriminating items from my first two years [...]
This weeks mix is a little poppier and peppier than my usual Sunday morning fare. First off is "6000 Shipwrecks" off of the self-released debut cd by Sand Diego pop masters, The Kite Flying Society , Where is the Glow. I'm totally stoopid for this song and its sweet melody delicately soaked in reverb. Kite Flying Society - 6000 Shipwrecks.mp3 Portatstatic have a new cd coming out this fall. [...]
11 Bandas ...para vocês conhecerem ou conhecerem mais... ______________________________ Maritime A banda lançou recentemente seu segundo álbum "We, the Vehicles", e ouvindo algumas canções dele, resolvi baixá-lo por inteiro, e não me arrependi. Para quem não sabe, Maritime se formou com o [...]
The History Lesson is a weekly feature here on Out the Other, offering one historical tidbit for every day of the upcoming week, paired with a song that usually has nothing to do with history. Check out last week here , and all previous weeks here . July 9, 1977 - The Grateful Dead perform the last concert of their 30-year career at Soldier Field, Chicago. The Grateful Dead - " One More Saturday Night " (from [...]
Axelle Red My favourite Belgian redhead has been around now for eleven years with her brand of French soul, a new album aptly called exactly that is out a the moment. I first discovered Axelle via the song ‘a tatons’ which was doing rather well in 1995, I was on a work placement in a textile studio in Lyon at the time and living in an old weavers apartment and it was one of [...]
Are you the type to wait around after shows, especially at tiny venues, hoping to get an autograph or just chat with the band? And you're trying really, really hard not to come off as a lame fanboy? I know the feeling. Which is why it's going to be really surreal tonight when the only band awesome enough to list its phone number on its website sleeps on my floor. Yes, that's Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin , the same bros who landed a track on The O.C. and just got signed [...]
If you haven't been to Daytrotter yet, now's the time. The site is music journalism, with a twist: like a radio interview you can download, every band interviewed or featured comes into the Daytrotter studios and records four tracks. So far they've had Sunset Rubdown, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - among many distinguished others. Head on over , and if you need a reminder that those bands are awesome: Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - "New Year's Kiss": mp3 [...]
Yes, I suppose I must learn to move on by the success of 2005, but these bands have either made glorious music towards the end of 2005, or just didn't recieve enough praise for it, or are just simply not known to the masses yet, so I present the following: The Spinto Band Brown Boxes mp3 Six-piece [...]
