DR Internet redio station Dandelion Radio is five years old this month, and they've got a birthday present for you. 'Five Years' is a two-volume, free download-only compilation released by Mark Whitby's Unwashed Territories netlabel featuring a collection of exclusive new recordings, tracks from Dandelion Radio sessions and favourite tracks from their first five years. More than half of the tracks on this release are unavailable anywhere else. 'Five Years' can be [...]
The album starts with a groovy laid-back tune called 'whatever', then tunes in to the suggestive reflection 'stuck', and from there Simmons takes us into' Pacharama', her memories of a trip to the jungle, to times long gone by. Time for the best song of the album, the title-track: 'The dandelion' with it's intricate harmonies and weeping guitar. The magic starts and leads us into to a piece called 'almost', where we truly can enjoy the delicate voice of Kaz. After this melody comes 'the wall', a murky jazz reflection with the message of 'just do [...]
There's something about Black Moth Super Rainbow that makes them the perfect band for the haze of summer. The band's trippy, psychedelic rock immerses listeners in a world as mysterious as the Pennsylvania backwoods band itself. This is why news of a deluxe reissue of their breakout album, Dandelion Gum , couldn't come at a better time. The expanded version includes 14 new songs, all recorded during the sessions for the album's original 2007 release, including five never-before-heard tracks, as well as singles from previously released EP Drippers and a split with [...]
Around this time last year I took on my first full assignment as music supervisor for filmmaker Robbie Pickering's Natural Selection. The film nabbed both the Grand Jury and Audience awards at SXSW Film in March. It also won best music. More on that later, as right now I want to share a song I've [...]
20072s Dandelion Gum is still my favorite release from Black Moth Super Rainbow , and the dudes are reissuing that sucker on June 7th! The reissue comes in your choice of high quality binary code, compact disc, vinyl, and/or cassette with an additional 14 (!!) songs... including the never heard before "Old Yes" that you can stream below. "Old Yes" is kind of a smooth jam... some real girl-lemme-come-over-and-see-' bout-ya shizz, which I always appreciate. Preorder it at Graveface .

Moullinex have had had one or more attempts at a renewal, the one of most noteworthy must be 'Love It Is, Then' which I posted some time ago. Jesus that was a fucking killer, but it wasn't old Moullinex, old Moullinex had a flare, and a subtlety, and a tone that was totally absent in that track. Xinobi have had a heap of really classic tracks. They were an artist that set the tone for a the genre a few years ago, along with the likes of Anoraak , College [...]
The kings (and queen) of trippiness return after taking an extended vacation. Black Moth Super Rainbow will be returning to the stage later this month at the Austin Psych Fest onApril 30th and Camp Bisco on July 8. The band are currently working on reissuing their classic 2007 album, Dandelion Gum, which will feature 14 bonus "Extra Flavor" songs. The reissue is set to release this summer and you can check the tracklisting after the jump. The band are also planning a full on tour for fall. We will keep you guys posted once more info becomes available.
"Dandelion don't tell no lies...." - Great song. That is all. From Wikipedia : "Dandelion" is a song by the British rock 'n roll band The Rolling Stones. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and first released as a B-side to "We Love You" in August, 1967. A lighthearted song, it reached # 14 in the United States, and effectively became the A-side there (as the edgier "We Love You" disappointed at # 50 on US charts). This is reflected in "Dandelion" appearing on both the [...]
On this stunning album, Tuma proves he's not just one of the most unpredictable musicians working today, but also one of the best. When Scott Tuma was in Souled American, we called it "alt-country", which is far too simple a tag for the oddball, subterranean beauty that was that band's sound. Similarly, you could call Tuma's solo work "acoustic" or "avant-garde", but it won't explain what he's doing, and it won't tell you how devastatingly beautiful his music is on Dandelion. On this complex record, field recordings and whirring tapes alternately clatter with and grind against banjos, pianos,...
This & That is a feature at The Hive in which we give you two tracks that sound vaguely similar. Both jams are guaranteed to be fucking awesome. TRUST. & ** Pure Prairie League :: Amie [MP3] BUY The Best of Pure Prairie League * [...]
Here are a few great songs to chill to. Great for hanging around the house, reading, working, thinking, and mellowing out after a crazy night. I recommend looking deeper into all of these artist's catalogs. Moebius & Plank - Misi Cacadou Rhythm & Sound with Cornel Campbell - King In My Empire Sly & The Revolutionaries - L.S.D. [...]
Scott Tuma Dandelion (2010, Digitalis) RIYL = Aaron Martin, Box Ensemble, Oh boy, it's good to be back. There is so much good stuff to relay and folks, I have been sitting on this new Scott Tuma LP for far too long. First off, I'm pretty sure this is Tuma's first solo album on wax, so that there is a pretty good reason for snatching this thing up quick (because if it's not gone already, it will be). The second reason, which should really be the first, is it's Scott Tuma [...]
"Sabotage! I don't like it! I don't like this sabotage. I don't like it . I do what I do here!" - Tom Scharpling, denouncing the diabolical forces that dared to attack his equipment "You can't talk to me like that. You know why? 'Cause I'm a professional basketball star, you piece of f uuuuuuuu dge." - Rick Stevens, reducing Tom to a mere confection for failing to recognize his lofty status "What is that ? What is it? It sounds like a reaction. [...]
Happy end of August, Waveriders! The kids are getting their fresh new haircuts and being prepped for the return to school, the summer nights are a little more chilled, big men in pads and leotards are chasing around other men holding an oblong object of sorts, all of these events just leading to autumn. Sigh . . . that means hockey season is right around the corner. You can't see my smile right now, but ever see a picture of the Cheshire Cat? Yeah. I think you're getting the picture. Anyway, I digress once again. This has been a super [...]
![Dandelions - Dandelions [1971, KBK Label (Private)]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1658653_lg.jpg)
I consider this to be something of an exclusive. I don't know if you could call this record a "holy grail," but it is certainly getting a lot of exposure amongst a small group of people right now. Only one copy of this record has ever surfaced for auction on eBay, and it occurred this past week (final bid: $480). It is one of those hard to find records that collectors will go to great lengths to uncover. I spoke to two people who own it, and their stories literally mirrored each others. Never doubt the ingenuity of a record [...]

Lately we have been representing Company of Thieves a fair amount. We posted up their video for the single Oscar Wilde and have been playing them on FMLY Radio. We aren't done yet. Now on March 21 FMLY will be presenting Company of Thieves at The Knitting Factory with We Are The Fury , The Violet Hour , The Dandelions, Hazel & Vine and Growing Feathers . It'll be a night of fast paced, high energy pop with some slightly harder music as well. You can get your [...]
This isn't one of those new music posts, so sorry to those of you who can't help but move forward. But, if you're willing to stop and listen for a second, I'd like you to cast your eyes back over Hyperdub's catalogue to HDB011 and take a look at a song called 'CCTV' by LV, which features the vocal talents of Dandelion. It shuffled into the limelight on my iTunes this morning and has been on a continuous loop pretty much ever since, it's awesome, I never even knew I had it. Check it out over at [...]
Back in 1989, Philadelphia was about as far from Seattle musically as you could get. It was at that time when the Northwest was beginning to give birth to the future of rock and roll. Kevin Morpurgo, Mike Morpurgo, Carl Hinds, and Dante Cimino, also known as Dandelion , were stuck on the east coast going through similar creative motions of their own, wedged somewhere between the punk rock they grew up on and the distorted power chord sound that was being created right at that moment. It took them a couple of years to release a first demo, [...]
