Mixtape: Twenty Bands at Noise Pop 20 (Podcast #271) Noise Pop 20 is just weeks away. From February 21st through the 26th, over one hundred bands will take over SF's venues for six days celebrating independent music. True to form, this year's Noise Pop Festival includes an eclectic mix of veterans and emerging artists, and you'd be wise to buy your tickets soon, because many shows are starting to sell out. To get familiar with many of the bands performing at Noise Pop this year, here's [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars The folk soundings of Laura Gibson are marked by a variety of sounds. While the words simple yet elegant seem fitting to describe such an artist, I think intricate and raw also have their place in the description of La Grande . However, through all of this soft and roughness, Gibson's sugary vocals remain constant, serving as the syrup to run between the sounds. In its folk genre, this album seems to go a lot of [...]
Mixtape: Twenty Years of Noise Pop (Podcast #269) In February, the Noise Pop Music Festival turns twenty by gathering over one hundred local and touring bands from across the indie spectrum for a week of exciting concerts all over the City. Two decades of championing independent music is an accomplishment worth celebrating, and this mixtape collects twenty bands that have performed at Noise Pop events in years past. As you'll hear, a whole bunch of big names graced Noise Pop bills before achieving fame, as past festivals [...]
Portland experimental pop act AU will release its third full-length album, Both Lights , on April 3rd via Hometapes. According to a press release, the album's 11 tracks are a reaction to the time between their last album, 20082s Verbs , and their subsequent lives and careers. It further adds: "More than a mere accompaniment, it's a gleaming mirror. It's an exaltation, an exhalation, a monument of extreme composition, the child of collaboration and isolation, a preamble to a wild live show, a statue intact in the violent wind of art and commerce, and, simply, a [...]
I've been thinking a lot about the list-making process. Someone recently asked me: What is the purpose of making a list? My initial reaction - because it's fun - is actually somewhat shallow. Is it really? Yeah, probably...somewhat...maybe? But if so, still: Why? In listening to me think out loud about this, my wife commented that she doesn't make lists for fun. Why, then? "To keep myself sane. To make sure I don't forget things I need to do." In other words: To make order out of chaos. To provide structure to an unstructured world. As [...]

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR #20 - #16 #20 Peaking Lights - 936 - Key Sparrow ( MP3 ) Peaking Lights are a relatively new phenomena in my world; their sound is one characterised by thick, dubby basslines and wrangled psychedelic vibratos. This isn't reggae, but has some of the same appeal, especially when taken with the sunken Warpaint-style vocals which weave throughout '936'. As the band themselves put it on the Domino website, interestingly, "it's not linear, it's a cycle. A bunch of circles rotating at different speeds but still intertwined like [...]
With the horizon of a new year seemingly inches away, we're proud to present our best songs of 2011. We have been slaving over albums and hidden tracks for the past month, but now the beginning of our five-part list of the best of the best. 50. The Airborne Toxic Event - Half of Something Else Very similar to 20082s "Sometime Around Midnight", TATE is back with a similar formula and not a bad album either.

In classic fashion, I've waited till the absolute last minute for my year end lists. Today I present this years honorable mentions, while my top 20 albums will be revealed over the next two days.

They are presented in alphabetical order based on artist. Active Child – You Are All I See [...]
2011 was a real chicken-and-egg kind of year in music. Was there really less amazing music or did everything sound a little duller because it was a difficult year for me personally? Was there less sonically interesting music in 2011 or was it because I cut way back on listening to music with headphones? Was there less originality or is it because we're so bombarded with music all the time that it just takes so much more to cut through the sheer volume? While it may have been for personal reasons, it did seem as though 2011 was [...]
Amazingly enough, 2011 has already come and gone, but with it came a slew of glorious, captivating records. From the return of veterans Bright Eyes , Wilco , and Death Cab for Cutie , to sophomore explosions from The Antlers , Girls , Bon Iver , and Fleet Foxes , and jaw-dropping debuts from Youth Lagoon , James Blake , You Won't , and Caveman , this has been one incredible year of music for us. Say what you will about this year versus the [...]
