I have to say, I admire the chutzpah the folks at the Halifax Pop Explosion association showed with their announcement yesterday that they are putting on a rather large, one day festival-style concert this August . I say this because the announcement comes on the heels of a "scandal" centered on the outdoor concerts that have been taking place here in Halifax over the last few summers. It's a long, boring saga, but let's just say it involves the Black Eyed Peas, the city holding the bag on a 300K+ bill, and it provoked our local paper [...]
Click here for more festival info Finally, my type of music festival comes around again: Noise Pop! The type of festival that’s not even really a music festival as we would normally think of it, but a series of small shows clustered over a few short days. And I know what you’re going say about the large music festivals. Sure, sure, Coachella is an amazing desert oasis with a killer lineup, Bonnaroo will inspire an amazing cross country roadtrip, and Sasquatch is the best place to eat mushrooms in the forest while listening to the Decemberists. But I just [...]
Tweet Previewing the 2011 Noise Pop Festival This episode is presented by KQED.org . Long before we started The Bay Bridged, we'd look forward to February's annual Noise Pop Festival , and now, in the fest's nineteenth year, things are no different. That's a remarkable achievement, and this year's week of events brings together buzzworthy out-of-town bands and talented locals for stacked four band bills sampling some of the best in [...]
Ted Leo / photo by David Greenwald In addition to LA Font's show at Bordello tomorrow, a few more worth your while this week: The Radio Dept. plays a sold-out gig at the El Rey, its first ever in L.A., on Wednesday; '80s acolytes MINKS join Generationals, Black Apples and Shadow Shadow Shade on Thursday at the Satellite; and Ted Leo plays a free, solo session at the Mondrian SkyBar on Saturday. More dates, as always, on the ongoing show calendar ; look for my pre-show interview with the [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Juno, The Long Winters, Flaming Lips, Q and Not U "the Dismemberment Plan - What Do You Want Me To Say" What's so good? When the Pixies toured through Seattle a few years ago, it was astounding how many of their fans had grown up and had little rock and roll miniatures. The evidence was running around in black-clad, angst-loving circles late into the night. Not so for fans of [...]
Ted Leo has been in the game for awhile, but I have not been up on his post-punk madness. He throws in a little bit of every genre that includes a guitar, but on his 6th album he drives towards a mature, major-melody alternative rock. The result? A blunt and direct sound that isn't changing lives, but catchy enough to be one of my most listened to songs of the month. The Mighty Sparrow - Ted Leo

[Chart toppers Superchunk live at Royale, Boston, MA. 9/21/2010. Photo by Michael Piantigini. More here .] Here it is, New Year's Eve, and I'm finally turning in my year-end list. TO MYSELF! As you may have read , El Jefe Jay Breitling will be on hiatus for a few months tending to undercover work for his secret, non-blogging identity and I'll be attempting keep up with the entire universe of music (or at least some subset thereof) for the duration. I appreciate Jay's trust that I won't turn this into some weirdo NFL coach-spouse [...]
It's that time of year again. The time where you look at all the great music released in the past 365 days and narrow it down to the best 10. I listed the Top 10 albums that made some great listening experiences. No Richmond-based artists are on here. That will be coming in another post. TED LEO & THE PHARMACISTS - THE BRUTALIST BRICKS Ted Leo's newest album was a surprise for me since I haven't really enjoyed the last few releases, but The Brutalist Bricks brings back what makes Ted [...]
Well, the year is over -- didn't see that coming. If there's one thing I can say about 2010, it's that it was the best and most productive year Mixtape Muse has had since it was born back in 2006. I'd like to thank all the artists, bands, and readers who helped make this year so awesome and successful. I would have never thought Mixtape Muse could have accomplished so much in a year. So, thank you all. Now, my choices for the top albums of 2010. Oh, the year-end list. It's just a troublesome thing. Are we [...]
Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2010 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. Therefore in the next two weeks, we’ll be posting multiple Top 10 Albums of 2010 lists as determined by Loud Loop Press editors and contributors. Today, Associate Editor Audrey Leon takes us to school with her list for Top 10 Albums of 2010. 10. Spoon - Transference [...]
