In one year from today I will be getting married to a very nice woman. The party will be in the mountains at a heli-skiing lodge (pictured above). Here are a few songs that are leading the way out of the gates for our official wedding theme song. I probably won't get my way. 1. John Prine & Iris Dement - In Spite of Ourselves [...]
We may not have Lollapalooza, but there are still plenty of bands in the Twin Cities this weekend. This Friday Dosh releases his new 7" at the 7th Street Entry while Haley Bonar takes on the Turf

Tennis is one of those bands that, like Best Coast , naturally lends itself to thoughts of catching waves, frizzante drinks, and summer. In Tennis's case, the husband and wife duo of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore throw in a Cape-Coddish boating tinge to their music, and you can easily imagine yourself at the yacht club dance circa the early 19602s. In otherwords, I don't think the latest accused Colorado mass-shooter was knocking back beers at the Hi-Dive watching this Denver-based duo perform. I can only imagine their set started promptly at [...]

Denver indie-pop outfit Tennis are no strangers to the late night TV scene, having performed on both Leno and Letterman since releasing their sophomore LP Young & Old this past February.

Exploding with sweeping melody and a pleasant aphorism, "Time is on our side," New York's next big band Blonds release next single, "Time." Coming off the popularity of sultry one-off, "Run," Blonds continues down the road of the one word title, this time with less bombast but no less pathos. Where "Run" erupted into big sky of a chorus, "Time" glides along under its own power, metronomic drums marking the only measure of insistence behind a song that is ostensibly about ignoring just these sorts of chronological pressures. There are elements of the [...]
