Justin : Chinese Telephones are a raw pop-punk band but without the need for obnoxious hooks and ridiculous vocals. Comparisons have been made to bands like Face to Face and midwestern poppy punk in general. I'll buy that for a dollar, since they seem to shed the pretension so ever-present in the last few years, deciding to play what sounds like some really honest music. "Back To You Again" is a rough mix from their upcoming full-length and is just complex enough to keep you from being bored while still giving you the chance to sing [...]
You need to know about The Plan. They only made one of the most treasured albums in the indie-rock canon. When Emergency & I came out in '99, it was immediately hailed as an underground classic to the few who had discovered it. It was just as accessible as it was original. They eventually went on to tour with Death Cab for Cutie and were even invited to open for Pearl Jam in Europe. The following album, Change , was released in 2001 to mediocre reviews. To their fans [...]
DOWNLOAD: The Dismemberment Plan - Superpowers (MP3s) "Bummed because you got shut out this afternoon while trying to score tickets to the much-anticipated Dismemberment Plan reunion show next month ? Don't go paying exorbitant prices to heartless scalpers on Craigslist just yet. (It's a benefit show for a very sick child , people.) The band will add a second show at the Black Cat on April 27 , one night before the show that just sold out in a matter of seconds. The [...]

Today I interrupt your morning coffee and viewing of This Morning to tell you something which excites me as much as Pitchfork . Of course, I don't live in America, nor do I have any money, so I shan't be going... But it's still pretty damn exciting. The Dismemberment Plan are reuniting for a one-off benefit for J. Robbins and Janet Morgan's son who was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Tickets are on sale today through Black Cat and Ticketmaster . Get buying [...]
This is the best news I've heard in a long, long time. Courtesy of Pitchfork : Someone please pinch me. Three and a half years after their voluntary break-up , the mighty Dismemberment Plan will reunite for a show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. On April 28, the band will take the stage alongside Beauty Pill and Owls and Crows to play a benefit for [...]
One of the fun things about where I work is that we know how to celebrate the true spirit of ridiculous holidays like Valentine's Day. I don't think a single one of us wore a red shirt today...but man did we all have fun coming up with themed playlists! So while I continue my quest to make it through all of the Magnetic Fields ' 69 Love Songs (slightly different from last year's quest - which was to pull off a dramatic reading of Tenacious D's "Fuck Her Gently" at our school's Erotic Poetry [...]
It's a beautiful and sunny (but cold) Saturday morning here in Chicagoland and things are generally great. I've got hot coffee, fresh (homemade) blueberry Belgian waffles, and a mimosa. I'm done with school next week and things at work are looking way up. My 15 month old daughter has a vocabulary of over 40 words and a feisty little personality. She is (however) the sweetest child ever. EVER! Here is a little Saturday morning playlist courtesy of my wife's iPod (but tweaked by me a little). Enjoy your morning and I'll do the same. [...]

Tomorrow comes the T-Sides Best of '06 lists, including the following lists: Top 10 Albums Top 6 EPs/73/Demos Top 5 Rap/Hip-Hop Albums And more!
Champagne? Check. Noisemakers? Check. All we need now is Dick Clark to rock our New Year's Eve. Another year has gone by. Once again, we drunkenly raise our champagne-filled glasses and salute the coming new year. It's full of promises and resolutions that we will break on Jan. 2. Everyone says that the beginning of a new year is a good time for a "new you." I am so sick of hearing that. You're never a "new you." You just evolve into something slightly different than you were the previous year. You're in new places and doing new [...]
Here is some music to get y'all in the Christmas spirit. Light a fire, roast some chestnuts, eat some cookies, drink some nog, waterver...

as the father of a jackass two year old, who happens to be my world, i cant begin to fathom what mr. j robbins, of jawbox fame, and his wife must be going through.
Hey dudes, I'm new here to the site, and the guys have been kind enough to let me put together this year's holiday mix. I do love Christmas music; sorta fitting that it would comprise my first offering to you. I've tested it out, and she feels party worthy. Good for festive drives to the mall, or spicing up train rides to work. We tried to compile some new classics, without it sounding like
How to turn from slowcore to post-punk jolt in one little list. I wish it was a clever plan, but this list is an accident build after two tracks on previous post. side from cranking up the tempo and volume, I also tried to explore something slightly different than usual BF programs. So here is a slight jazz, a bit of math rock, punk, pop, electronic.... and very loud output. Highly recommended in the list: Revolution void , a creative common work by jazz pianist Jonah Dempcy, Matthew Garrison (bassist for Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny and others) [...]
If all goes as planned, this will be the first of three in a mini themed series, though they probably won't be back to back to back. The Dismemberment Plan (RIP) was hugely instrumental (I made a pun!) in shaping my musical psyche. If everything I'd ever heard was inside a box, when I first heard the d-plan, the box tore at one of the seams. Despite inspiring a legion of followers, this equation hasn't quite been equalled. (The last two portions of this "series" will be two that come close in their own ways: So [...]
This one goes out to everyone who still waits for a mixtape by me, `cause I would definitely put both on it: "Superpowers" by Dismemberment Plan in its original album version and from the remix-lp... Album Version Remix
