Fool's Gold - "Suprise Hotel" - SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artist
So summer is over and we're all going through the fall-is-too-short-winter-don't -come blues. But put down that Pumpkin Spice Mocha-Latte no foam and winter sweater, we've got the remedy for you. LA based band, Fool's Gold is just what you need to shake your way into a happy fall. What started out as the side-project for Luke Top and Lewis Pesacov is now a tight knit band of five.

Dark Dark Dark - Daydreaming (Official Video)
I bet you're sitting there in your chair, or standing if you're in one of those progressive-thinking workplaces...or a bouncy ball, thinking, "You know what? I would like a classy, relaxed evening of just pure good music. So much that I'd like to bring my friends to. The kind of evening that would leave everyone in awe of both my fine taste in music and the sheer fact we live in a great city." Well. That day is upon you, my friend! Saturday, September 17th brings Dark Dark Dark down from their homes in Minneapolis to ease you [...]

Dan Deacon, Bill Callahan, School of Seven Bells set for Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements

Sep 12, 2011, 5:46pm Consequence Of Sound
Are you familiar with "vaudeville"? According to the wonderful (and always handy) Merriam-Webster , it's a noun that describes "a light often comic theatrical piece frequently combining pantomime, dialogue, dancing, and song" or "stage entertainment consisting of various acts (as performing animals, comedians, or singers)." Most of you are familiar with this sort of entertainment - especially if you live in a city - but if not, here's your chance to experience it. This weekend (that is, September 16-18), Chicago's Eckhart Park will play host to the inaugural Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements (BCPA), becoming "a playground [...]

The Brilliant Corners - Delilah Sands
A cursory blog search has revealed that I haven't linked to today's featured song on here since November 2007. Long overdue for an encore then. From 1987, it's the Brilliant Corners with the utterly fantastic Delilah Sands . And look, there's a video! Brilliant Corners - Delilah Sands mp3

The Pale Corners: "Steve Buscemi"

Oct 8, 2008, 9:52am S K A T T E R B R A I N
The Pale Corners: "Steve Buscemi" As if Sweden ever really needs new brilliant pop bands, now they've got The Pale Corners , hailing from Stockholm and making super catchy indiepop with rather lush arrangements, and wonderful breathy vocals. I was sent their song "Steve Buscemi" early this morning and I haven't been able to make myself hit stop yet, so I guess that's a pretty good indication of how great it is. I suppose a better indicator would be if I were still loving days from now, but that's hardly of any importance to me at the moment. I'm pretty sure they're still unsigned, [...]

Air Guitar 2008

May 28, 2008, 11:58am pogo a go-go
Air Guitar 2008 Darling Daughter informed me yesterday that her school will shortly be holding its annual air band competition. Apparently each year this event is assigned a theme and a list of eligible songs is furnished to all the wannabee axe heroes/heroines. And the theme this year? The eighties. I just about withered and died of old age when I heard that. After recovering from my sudden and rapid decrepitude, I discovered that my street cred with Darling Daughter was increasing as I recognized and provided both artist and useless facts [...]

Check Your Messages Question, how many bands these days do you see naming obscure band from 80's as influences? Well, I don't see too many, but then again I don't get out much. The Answering Machine hailing from Manchester name a few likely candidates like the Strokes , Shout Out Louds and Radio Dept , but throw a curve ball when they site the Brilliant Corners . The Brilliant Corners were from Bristol and very overlooked band from the late 80's. They had a bit of a happy music, sad lyrics thing going on, that had elements of [...]
