The weather has been really nice in Los Angeles for the past week or so. It has provided me with numerous opportunities to take my new car out for drives across the city, up the coast highway, over the hills and through the valleys. And since my car does not have a tape deck (which [...]
Not to frustrate anyone not living in the Chicago area, but I'd be remiss in not mentioning the amazing lineup at this year's annual "Letters to Santa" benefit run by Second City. In addition to performances by resident cast members and famous alumni of the comedy troupe, guest performers announced for the 24-hour charity event so far include JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound, Jeff Tweedy, Robbie Fulks, Bill Callahan, The Blisters, Steve Albini, and Danielson Famile on December 14. Pretty amazing . Notably, JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound have received a [...]

The Friday list comes on during Saturday again. I blame it on the migraine - which has slowly been killing me over the past years. Migraines aside, in this week's list, we go a bit spiritual ( I think ) - since it's Lent, and something in my Catholic upbringing thinks this is going to be fun. Today, our featured artists will be ones that have songs that have a Christian bent or have that unique Christian influence. But don't let that turn you off though - these artists are more than your run-of-the-mill Christian bands. First [...]
As promised, here's a recap of all the songs that were featured in the 'Your Indie Music Lyric of the Day' section since I started it a few weeks ago. If everything works out right next week, I'll have this out every Sunday. If not, it would have been because I got caught up watching my husband's ' The Middleman ' marathon ( why oh, why did they cancel that show? ) back to back with Chris O' Dowd in Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (which was a really great film [...]

Christmas Eve Nite by Danielson. Christmas wouldn't be the same without a song by our favorite eccentric Christian family band, the Danielson Famile . This song is part of Sounds Familyre's 2007 release ' A Familyre Christmas Album Vol 1. '
Yes, we've reached the 120 mark! Considering how long this site has been up, I'm not sure if I should celebrate or not. According to my therapist though, I'm on a negative thought stopping program, so...Hip! Hip! Hooray! And to celebrate the database reaching the 120 artist mark - what you see above, is a nifty collage of all the artists that you guys have submitted to the site. It's a hodge podge of groups from all over - so if you're the adventurous type, click away and discover something new ;) We've got 120 artists [...]
Is everybody sober yet? Did you enjoy your holiday with family, loved ones and friends? Mine was pretty disappointing, seeing as how for the first time in my life I didn't know what my "plans" were until the middle of the afternoon. I guess as long as there is a barbecue at the destination things can't be too bad, but it certainly felt a lot different from past July 4ths. I think next year maybe we'll have a Swan Fungus party with fine beers and a room filled with despicable elitists. This website should have a massive enough audience by [...]

Eine Band, die von sich selbst behauptet, dass sie klingt wie Prince mit Amon Duul II, Hot Chip, Pink Floyd, Gwen Stefani, Pere Ubu, Danielson Famile, Scritti Politti, Boards of Canada, The Blow und Pulp, muß ich Euch einfach vorstellen. Oder um es in den Worten von Fol Chen zu sagen: „We are cryptic and joyful and we would like you to dance." [mp3] Fol Chen / Cable TV (Liars Remix)

I almost ordered a bunch of free business cards yesterday online, but then I got really depressed because I couldn't think of what to write for my "Job Title." What could I possibly say, "blogger"? How depressing. I momentarily thought about putting "comedian," that way I could tell people, "...because people are always asking me, 'What are you, a comedian?' just before they cut my fingers off for not paying my gambling debt." Then I realized that a business card is supposed to get the point across without raising any questions. That's when I decided I'm not ready for my [...]
What if a bunch of goofy stoners put together a band, wrote wacky and spastic (but surprisingly good) songs about life and religion, and had a vocalist who sounds like Neil Young ? That would be The Flaming Lips , correct, but Everything, Now! also checks off all of the above without sounding anything like Wayne Coyne 's crazy crewpaloop (the Willy Wonka version of "possy"…copyright, by the way). Apparently there's room for two bands to hold up the wacky-philosophical-drugged-ou t-Neil Young banner. The difference between the bands, however, is that [...]
The Rev. Vito Aiuto and his wife Monique are The Welcome Wagon , a folk-gospel duo based in Brooklyn who formed in 2001. Their debut album, Welcome To The Welcome Wagon is on Astmatic Kitty and was recorded, produced and arranged by Sufjan Stevems. It's a beautiful collection of spiritual, traditional songs and includes covers of songs by Velvet Underground, the Smiths and this from Danielson Famile. Sold To The Nice Rich Man - Welcome Wagon And [...]
Hey, in case you haven't noticed, my website broke. I don't even know if anyone will be able to read this, but have no fear, I'm trying to fix things. And by that I mean I'm crying and jerking off and submitting questions to support forums across the Internet, and waiting for some kind soul to help me. The page might be fixed at any moment, or it might never be fixed. Who the fuck knows, really? By the way, if anybody reading this knows anything about WordPress, Blogger, 1and1, and subdomains, now would be a really good [...]
![Danielson - [Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1321160_lg.jpg)
ARTIST: Danielson - [Album] With 3 mp3s for download DATE: 10-27-08 REVIEW BY: Jon Pruett It was about twelve years ago when I first heard the Danielson Famile. I was working as an intern at a major label. The German translation of said label is roughly "jungfrau." I was always milling through the stacks, looking for something that wasn't completely, soul-suckingly awful. Eventually I made friends in the [view more]
TV on the Radio's Dear Science has been getting a lot of buzz so if you're "hip" and "with it" you should probably get on that. Genghis Tron is putting out some remixes, Danielson Famile is reissuing some vinyl and if for some reason you need a physical copy of the Girl Talk album that did the pay-your-price thing a while back, that's out too. And (this makes me cringe) the first few Christmas albums are starting to pop up. It's September , people. [...]
