Tweet Photo by: Anna Gazdowicz The Attachments - "I Wish I Could Always Be As Excited As I Am Now" Go Away is the debut full length from Berkeley/Oakland indie pop band The Attachments , a record that the group's been working on for what seems like forever. The ten-song set's full of bright indie pop, culminating in album closer "I Wish I Could Always Be As Excited As I Am [...]
This is one of those weekends where I kiss my bed goodbye and promise a rain-check on sleep and general productivity. Get your (mostly free!) music on, Bay.
Photos by: Anna Gazdowicz My First Earthquake has a gift for humor that is tricky to achieve in song. Last Thursday at the Rickshaw Stop they released their new EP, Crush , which has refined what they do best - funny, nerdy dance songs with glimpses of gravity. Starting with old favorites, "Vow to Vowels" and "Cool in the Cool Way," MFE got the upfront audience enthusiastically singing along. The most striking element of their performance was [...]

Ounsworth released two solo records last year, Anti- 's Mo Beauty and Skin and Bones (under the alter ego Flashy Python ). Alec Ounsworth - "That Is Not My Home (After Bruegel)" Grand Lake - "Louise" Opening the show are Grand Lake and [...]
So, K wrote her post on Thursday night. On Friday, when I got to the elementary school, I was met by the School Nurse and the Principal. The Principal accompanied me to BM's classroom. Erich Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops - Imperial March ( eMusic , Amazon ) Yep, BM showed his arse on Friday. He had a classic, angry meltdown. It was the first time his new teacher has seen it. She was surprised, I wasn't. I blame the annual American Chemical Society meeting, at [...]
Apologies for the dearth of posts from me...I've been a busy honing my Jedi skills . Dare I say that they may be working? Or maybe not. I did have to write myself a note the other day: "Get phone out of shoe". Addition. WRE says to BM while building a 'garage' from our blocks: "You have four rectangles and four cylinders. How many do you have?" BM says, without pause, "Eight." Pretty cool. We've come a long way from learning just to hold up the right number of fingers. [...]
"Trigger Happy Jack" was one of my favorites, way back when. Poe - Trigger Happy Jack ( buy ) The basic reason I liked it so much was how tough the lead singer, Annie Decatur Danielewski , sounded. Now, more than a decade later, I reminded of that song not for any musical reason, but by our experiences with attachment issues with BigMan. This does not make me happy. Consider these lyrics: And after awhile he calms down And he looks at [...]
The Deli SF is presenting yet another amazing show tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 20) night at the Rickshaw Stop. The Hot Toddies , The Attachments and The Ian Fays will be performing, along with a DJ set from the fantastic DJ Elise from SomaFM . All three of the bands are playing shows locally and promoting their most recent releases. Here's a new song from The Attachments, written about the results of the recent presidential [...]
The Deli SF has prepared a delicious treat for this Sunday, Oct. 26th: Bling It On! What started as a group of three friends playing music in Santa Cruz and San Francisco, the now Seattle-based band The Toy Soldiers are coming back to the bay area to rock out in celebration of the release of their fresh self-titled EP. Recorded in Vancouver, BC, they're returning to the Bay for a special one-off party to celebrate its release, which will be their last show here for quite awhile. [...]
the past few months i've put off a lot of things off i concentrated on the business plan competition i was involved in. now that i have a moment, let's try to catch up: the attachments are an indie-pop band from berkeley. catchy songs with exceedingly creative arrnagements, and witty lyrics that invariably revolve around god's greatest creation--girls--make up the attachments' six-song self-titled ep. listening to these songs, it's clear that this is music for people who love music, made by a bunch of guys who simply love music. and girls. how could [...]
Photo by David Greenwald The Walkmen - "Louisiana": mp3 It's springtime, folks. Let's start the season off right. This song is woozy and celebratory in the kind of inebriated way the Walkmen have long since mastered -- and it has a horn section. ( A Hundred Miles Off came out in 2006 on Record Collection ) The Attachments - "F-Train Girl": mp3 Funny how influences get mixed up. The Attachments are a Berkeley, CA indie-pop band, but this [...]
Woman sure know how to break, create, and occupy the minds of young men everywhere. The four members of The Attachments have all been through their share of messy relationships, but fortunately, all four are obsessed musicians. Those who wrap themselves in any form of art often use it as a way to cope and express inner feelings, whether it's humorously, emotionally, or satirically. The Attachments use a bit of each in their self-titled debut EP, which consists of six songs with lyrical content focused on six different girls, all of which at least one of the [...]

Don't know what it is about March, but I keep finding out about excellent local bands. Here we have The Attachments out of Berkeley and their unique brand indie pop. Sounds like Weezer had a love child on the beach with one of The Beatles. Here's a song off their latest release. ::: The Attachments - Karla-la You can buy their debut EP over on the myspace page. (What's up with all the girl-titled songs?) [ The Attachments on myspace .] [ [...]
I've been sort of jamming with some gal friends in an acoustic mini-band for fun (and no, we didn't name ourselves something dainty and/or involving unicorns or sparkly things). I wail on the djembe and we have a grand time -- sounds very hippie but it's not. In any case, yesterday afternoon we were talking about how one gal just had her guitar swiped out of her car. The best I could come up with was a consolation which suggested that perhaps said thief thought that Takamine actually read, "Take-mine." [...]
