It occured to me late last night that maybe I should start doing the Graboid on Tuesdays. The only reason I had been doing it on Wednesday for so long was the simple fact that I am lazy and liked having the extra day to listen to all the new releases. Considerng Tuesdays are the album release days, I think it's best to move it to that. What do you all of you think? Does it even matter? Let me know. If it's overwhelming, than i'll change it. This week's list of [...]

I got an advance of the new Comas album, Spells, about a month ago and was initially put off because it was copy protected and I couldn't put it on my iPod. But being a huge fan of their last...

[Kevin Bronson is taking a little time off to alphabetize his CD collection -- and where do you put these people? Starting Thursday, please welcome guest blogger Jeff Weiss, who is taller and has a better fastball. Meanwhile, Bronson empties his notebook ...] Several upcoming releases have me geeking out. Like "Boxer" from the Brooklyn-based five-piece the National , due May 22. "Alligator" was my album-of-the-ear a couple of years ago ( refresher ). Quick first impression [...]

One of my favorite songs of the 35 posted in Powerpopulist's Big Bloc 4 was "New Wolf," by Chapel Hill/Brooklyn's trippy The Comas . Unfortunately it's no longer available there, but it will be elsewhere, and soon. It's one of the ten songs on their album Spells , due for release April 17. Another song from Spells is available, along with 27 others, at their bandsite . Below are some of my favorites. Your own might be awaiting [...]

Well the moment is finally upon us. One of my favourite bands in the world, The Comas, are bursting back onto the scene with a brand new record. On April 17th they release the long awaited (well, long awaited for me) Spells , on Vagrant Records. I have been counting down the days until I got to hear new Comas music. Some of you may not even know who they are, as they aren't nearly as big as they deserve to be, but some might remember that Matt and I at TFD interviewed frontman Andy at the end of [...]

Hin ótrúlega tónlistar-, nýmiðlunar-, kvikmynda- og kúltúrhátíð South By Southwest er haldin, í tuttugasta skipti, níunda til átjánda mars í Austin í Texasfylki. Sjálfur hef ég ekki verið svo frægur að vera viðstaddur þessa merku uppákomu en það er svo sannarlega á langtímaplaninu að skella sér. Það sem heillar mig mest við þessa hátíð er að sjálfsögðu tónlistin en hundruðir, ef ekki þúsundir, flytjenda koma fram á henni. Hvert ár eru aðstandendur hátíðarinnar svo innilega rausnalegir að gefa, frjáls til niðurhals, haug af lögum með flestum þeirra sem þar troða upp. Það þarf ekki að fjölyrða um allar [...]

It's always exciting when South by Southwest announces its schedule and posts songs by many of the bands that will be appearing at the festival. I just spent several--okay, six--pleasant hours making my way through the entire list from Aa to zZz (I skipped +/- because they didn't provide a sample mp3). I admit I didn't listen to every single song. Certain categories didn't really interest me, not yet at least. But I did give ear to everything labelled rock and pop that I didn't [...]
When it comes to the Japanese band Coma I have no information whatsoever. Their 1985 (listed as 1984 in some spots) EP "In a Coma" is great, reminding me of early Killing Joke crossed with The Effigies. I don't know if they recorded anything else or even what part of Japan they were from. Download anyways, it's a good one. Isolation In a Coma Coda Cyinder
