The National have been making music since 1999, and for over a decade they’ve been consistently getting better at it. It’s hard to imagine that given the already grandiose nature of their style – a high-class blend of driving rock beats and chamber-pop instrumentation – but they’ve been refining that blend ever since their self-titled debut. In 2005, they completely nailed it with Alligator , and they've built upon it with each subsequent release of theirs: Boxer , the glorious High Violet [...]

It literally shows a disturbingly large mosquito feeding on a little boy before it gets squished. It's pretty cringe worthy.

The ongoing New York Times obsession with "hipsters" continued this week with yet another lifestyle article about Williamsburg, a place that the NYT apparently thinks is still home to the Brooklyn cool set. The piece served as more confirmation that the Times is officially the only publication that still thinks the word "hipster" actually means something and/or is a cultural phenomenon worth analyzing in 2013. At this point, the paper's ongoing obsession with Williamsburg is the journalistic equivalent of the repressed bro at school who's secretly fascinated by the weird kids and deals with this [...]
Taken from Chris Schlarb 's forthcoming Psychic Temple II album, 'Til I Die' is a cover of one of The Beach Boys' lesser known tracks (Fact: It's one of the few Beach Boys songs which both the words and music were written solely by Wilson - thanks Wikipedia) and features the ever-brilliant Sufjan Stevens . From the moment the drums soothly enter your headspace, you'll be aware that this isn't a standard take on the track, but beautiful and touching nonetheless. If this floats your boat (we had to [...]

![GET ON BOARD WITH MOTHER FALCON [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4886124_lg.jpg)
With horns blaring, "Dirty Summer," the new song by Austin's Mother Falcon , starts off big. For nearly three and a half minutes, it never really settles down. Their huge sound can largely be attributed to the fact that they began as an after-school jam among a handful of high school orchestra students looking for a more creative outlet than reading sheet music. With anywhere from 15 to 20 people in the band, it's no surprise that they have meshed a variety of influences - their sound is what you might expect if Sufjan Stevens , [...]
Sufjan Stevens a jeho vyjímečné album Illinois z roku 2005 obsahuje mnoho zapamatovatelných písní, které se vám vryjí navždy do paměti. Jednou z nich je i píseň Casimir Pulaski Day . Název odkazuje ke svátku slavený ve státě Illinois každé první pondělí v březnu (to jsem trochu propásl, tak proto aspoň teď). Kazimír Pulaski byl původem polský šlechtic a vojenský velitel (polsky Kazimierz Pułaski), který byl jedním z generálů v boji za nezávislost v americké revoluci. Přezdívá se mu též jako "otec americké vojenské jízdy". Samotný svátek se vztahuje k oslavě jeho narození. Mimochodem, [...]

Helado Negro. Foto: Daniel Patlán Por: @folkmetender La segunda vez que platiqué con Roberto Lange (mejor conocido como Helado Negro ) en menos de seis meses fue la semana pasada vía telefónica, de manera un poco turbulenta ya que Roberto se encontraba en la carretera rumbo a Washington; me dijo que desde el 17 de febrero ha estado de gira. La vez pasada que nos vimos fue en el Cine Tonalá , donde presentó una faceta poco conocida de su carrera: sus cortometrajes. Además de música, Roberto hace video, según [...]
