See me ride into the sun

See me ride into the sun Eighth-note piano pounding. It's in my head almost all the time these days. I wanna hear it coming from headphones and from my own fingers when I sit down at the keys. Sometimes I like it stately and steady, like John Cale. Sometimes I like it all frantic, like on this one. Workin' it. And speaking of work, happy Labor Day. Back Tuesday.

Alternative Music for Dad's playlist

Alternative Music for Dad's playlist If Keith Richards can be dad so can I. I had no clue I'd be a dad one day. Now with two lovely daughters who are sure to give me some challenges one day you gotta wonder how I'm going to make it through. I know I'll persevere or just move-out. One of my tips for listening to the music you want on the on road-trip. So you can listen to what you want in the car when you want to listen to these tracks is make the wife drive and you wear the headphones so you don't have [...]

FTC: Tall Dwarfs

FTC: Tall Dwarfs It's been some time since we've broken out a band for our From the Closet feature, so I figured it was high time to do a little bit of revisiting. It seems like the last few runs were all about emo, so I thought I bring back a thing or two that illustrated the higher brow interests of my musical tastes. Here you go gang: Tall Dwarfs . Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate formed the gang in 1981 in some place called New Zealand, and for the [...]

FP Top 5 International: Bands from New Zealand

FP Top 5 International: Bands from New Zealand In its role as Australia's bespectacled, mousey but kinda cute little sister, New Zealand has spent the better part of its existence eschewing the spotlight. Despite having legitimate claims to fame (such as being the first nation to grant women the right to vote, fathering the first man to scale Mt. Everest, or ranking 1st out of 149 nations on the " Global Peace Index "), New Zealand has preferred to sit quietly in the corner with its copy of Pride and Prejudice while its often indecent neighbor to the West gets all the hot rugby players [...]

New Covers Album – Jay Retard, Yo La Tengo, Lou Barlow, More….

New Covers Album – Jay Retard, Yo La Tengo, Lou Barlow, More…. Ironically, one of the last of Jay's contribution to the world was a charitable effort in support of the vastly influential New Zealand musician, artist, and Flying Nun mainstay Chris Knox who suffered a suffered a "life altering" stroke . To help with his rehabilitation costs 33 bands have donated Knox-related covers to the double CD collection Stroke - Songs For Chris Knox . The tracklist includes Yo La Teno, Lou Barlow, Jay Reatard (RIP), David Kilgour, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Stephin Merritt, Bill Callahan, the Mountain Goats, the Chills, the Verlaines, Tall Dwarfs themselves, etc. Jeff Mangum offers [...]

Check Out: Jay Reatard and Jeff Mangum cover Chris Knox

Several more details have surfaced since CoS originally reported on the upcoming benefit album for Kiwi punk-legend Chris Knox . To begin, the music world experienced the untimely passing of up and comer Jay Reatard , whom kicks off Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox with a cover of "Pull Down the Shades". You can check out a one-minute sample via the Stroke official website . The recording may be the last non-live release by Reatard, and choosing to cover "Pull Down the Shades" seems eerily ironic [...]
