don't worry guys, i know this is really turning into the countdown for the last time that you have to see that picture. but i know you won't get sick of the jackie period! why? because it's amazing. those ducks get me every time. today is day TWELVE . day TWELVE is a special day, because it's the day that my true love (and yours) will send me (us) a whole TWELVE drummers drumming. [if you're just tuning in, let these lyrics get you up to speed.] now, we're not going [...]
" Indie pop refers to indie music which is considered to be based on the conventions of pop music. The term is nebulous." I came across that line while flipping through the pages of Wikipedia and thought it was great. Nebulous is probably the gold standard when it comes to synonyms for the much less exciting word, vague . The quote is taken from Wiki's information on indie pop, which goes on to read: "Because indie rock is sometimes used to mean indie music as a whole, indie [...]
I'm a huge Office fan and one of the great new developments of this season is Jim's romance with Karen, who I think is a fantastic addition to the show. She's sophisticated, straightforward with her feelings, and overall good for Jim. I'd still like Jim and Pam to have something together in the future but for now I think Karen is a great fit. Thanks to Life in the Office Blog I just discovered another reason to love Rashida Jones, she was in The Boy Least Likely To's video for "Be Gentle With Me". [...]

These tracks are available in .Zip, here . Please click on the artist image for more info. The Rank Deluxe - Rock and Roll Machine [...]
Obviously I've had bupkiss to talk about this week, so instead I decided to start a "fake" blog "segment" and post three covers this thursday that I enjoy. Maybe not the most original thing, but I think all three of these are pretty brilliant an fun in their own ways. The Boy Least Likely To - Faith (George Michael cover) Ben Folds - Get Your Hands Off My Woman (The Darkness cover) Lily [...]
You know what I dream of? Being on panels at conferences (lame, lame -- I know). As such, I'm kinda jealous of The Perp right now. I mean, I was thinking abut going to the Future of Music conference/Pop Montreal at one point this summer until I discovered that plane tickets to Montreal from Austin are like, at best, $600. Mmm. No. Speaking of misguided emotional states, Ultragrrl 's done one of those things on the list of things to do before one dies, or something -- she's in Vanity [...]
Saturday started for us with a bit of wandering and peacock-spotting, followed by at trip back to the Big Top to check out Metronomy . I liked them. They’re about as well-known for their remixes as their own stuff, but their compositions sound good. Live, they’re bound to get Hot Chip comparisons – except it’s only three guys with synths and keyboards, and Hot Chip don’t have a sax player. Or funny t-shirts with a big plastic balls on. Or choreographed jerky guitar movements. Their electro is probably also a bit dirtier and less poppy then their more famous [...]
It's been a tough day at TRGAW central. We're kind of stressed out. So we offer the following: The best blog entry in ages: We love the peeps at WFMU, they keep track of bizzaro music so we don't have to. Case in point, the best collection of rip-off tracks ever . It's a contest, name the rip-offed artist, win prizes! I'm particularly fond of the all the Joy Division/Bauhaus/Siouxie imitators; you think we have it bad now with the retro revival! Just be glad this isn't the 80's my friends, when [...]
Basically I'm making this post because The Boy Least Likely To recently posted this picture on their myspace and I really like it. Yes, I'm very articulate. Well, I guess to make this post more than just a picture, I'll offer you a a couple TBLLT songs that you might not have heard if you only own The Best Party Ever . Um, I dont feel like writing about these songs much, but I will say "Rock Upon A Porch With You" sure gets me excited to [...]
Summer is over. And our blog is here. To kick things off, we have a bunch of goodies for you that we hand picked for your enjoyment. (Just bare with the picture as it is a quasi practice for posting pictures as well as a hilarious inside joke). Joe's Picks... Ten billion paragraphs have been written about hot summertime goodtime fun in the sun music. Think Beach Boys or happy dance music or something. And I'm not about to try and put a dent in that stereotype. It's [...]
Three Words: Warm Panda Cola warm panda cola, butter melting in the sun, I need some clean air in my lungs Warm Panda Cola is probably one of the quirkiest song titles I've ever heard. It's not so much a song as it really is a 49 second chant with pretty harmonica flourishes and hanclaps. The sound stuffed animals and sunshine are made of. http://www.yousendit.com/trans fer.php?a ction=download&ufid=8577B43671 F49227&rcpt=jegentile@vassar.e du Buy The Best Party Ever http://www.ampcamp.com/product _info.p hp?&products_id=937 Rock Upon the Porch With You [...]

Can there be anything more boring than waiting for your plane at the airport. At least I have The Boy Least Likely to, to keep me company. As sweet and sentimental as a Julia Robert movie, but it's certainly serving my purpose at the moment. Enjoy. The Boy Least Likely To- ...
I thought long and hard about what I wanted to post as my weekend mix of music this week, and then I ran out of time so I decided to compile a list of my five favorite songs ever and compete them with my five current songs. Well there really is no comparison. The five favorite songs ever are just held to such a lofty standard that the new ones can't even compete. They try, but pretty much fail at every turn. Still, it makes for ten really solid songs for you guys to listen to this weekend. Also, feel [...]
On sunday, I, along with a couple of friends, attended my first music festival. This may seem pretty strange for someone who writes a music blog, but things like festivals are in short supply in this corner of the country. Earlier on the year, I read about the Electric Gardens Festival. It's a new event, a two day specialist festival covering dance and electronica on the first day and more traditional indie rock fare on the second day. It shouldn't take a genius to figure out exactly which day we attended. As such, early on [...]
I'm one tired little blogger boy right now, so this will be somewhat of a short post. I'm not one for words, so why don't we just get straight to what we both love best: the music. Forever Young - Youth Group Hard To Explain (Acoustic Version) - The Strokes Rear Moth - Psapp Tundra - Squarepusher Just A Ride - Jem LA Correction Exchange [...]
