Tweet Midway through First Aid Kit 's show the two girls say something which surprises me. They tell us the previous time they'd played this London venue, in support of another group from their native Sweden, they were still in school and homework awaited them after the show. " I think I must have been fifteen then " Klara adds. Sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg are still just nineteen and twenty-one years-old respectively, but they write and sing [...]
At MJF we love a good meme. And you might have noticed we love a good laugh at the expense of Aubrey "Drizzy Drake/Wheelchair Jimmy" Graham. Hugs From Drake is only a few days old, but this one has some great potential. See some of Drake's best embraces on tumblr . drink the kool aid:
Cork band Exit: Pursued By A Bear take their name from Shakespeare's play The Winter's Tale, which induced nightmares in my final year at college self. Anyway, the band has been around for years and years, took a break for a little bit and returned last year and released a [Read more]
The ATH crew stopped by Emo's on Saturday night for a show by one of our favorite old school bands The Get Up Kids. Of course the guys incorporated several of their new tunes while still incorporating a lot of our old favorites from back in the day. When the encore goes a little something like "Holiday", "Don't Hate Me", "I'll Catch You", and "10 Minutes", you gotta know we enjoyed our time at the show. After the jump you can check out some photos of GUK and opener River City Extension by Brian Gray. [...]

Oh what I cute name I thought and wouldn't it be so ace if the Hugs could make it through our strict filtering process and onto the pages of mp3hugger. Well it only took a cursory few seconds to realise that the Hugs were utterly huggable. Maybe we should form the hugger alliance or something, tonight though I think I'll just flop around my sitting floor in a middle aged attempt to mimic 'She's Was High's sense of fun and vibrancy. The Hugs are the second Portland band to appear on this blog this week but give the impression that [...]
Song: Too Much Artist: Sufjan Stevens This reminds me of that one Mellencamp song, the one where if you can remember the words "small town," you know 95% of its lyrics. I think the song's actually called "Small Town," which makes sense. Anyway, if you can sing "there's too much riding on that," you could conceivably lead a semi-competent drunken singalong of this tune. This is where the Mellencamp comparisons end though. If I was going to cover "Small Town," I would need a guitar, a piano, a mic, a bass, and maybe a drummer. [...]

Having already caused quite a stir amongst the nightlife scene in Belfast with their weekly energetic, raucous parties, Tanya Mellote and Mark Gordon aka Skibunny are trying to take the charts by storm. Their debut album Hugs is an infectious journey through modern age pop music, brisk, lively and undeniably animated. Whilst there are many bands vying for the title of indie pop pioneers for this new decade, none as of yet have staked a meaningful, passionate claim for the prize. The lyrics are elementary and at times uninvolved, for example " everything I [...]
![[Album Review] Skibunny- Hugs](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2812527_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Skibunny is quite known for their legendary weekly parties in Belfast and already has a following among Belfast hipsters. They are Tanya Mellotte (vocals, guitar, keys) and Mark Gordon (vocal, bass, guitar, keys). To be released on September 27 Hugs is 40 minutes of charismatic, dream-pop pieces. The album's centraltheme is about wanting more than your lot, about taking risks in life and love, and if it doesn't work out? You pick yourself up, dust yourself down and do it all [...]
It's been a few months since I threw together a podcast, so I figured it was about time for another one. Besides, I've been working diligently on a mix-tape for a new local pal, Brett Sandström, whom I met after purchasing a Tullycraft single on eBay - he being the seller, both of us being astonished to find other Tullycraft fans in Skagit County. What began as a modern tribute to light garage pop ultimately changed direction to hint at songs that fit a sweltering, hot summer day. This is [...]
![The Hugs: She Was High [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2604092_lg.jpg)
With a name like The Hugs , you know you're in for something upbeat. On "She Was High", the Portland-based band creates infectious indie pop with leanings toward the gritty nature of garage. The song is adorned with tweeting birds, side-commentary from other band members, and creaking doors, adding something off-beat and unique to the song. With a fun guitar riff and poppy, hook-filled vocals, there's a good chance you'll have "She Was High" on repeat for hours. Download: "She Was High" [...]
Photography by Bracket Did you guys see Ari's itty interwebs today ? She's got a great downloadable essay on bloggerin' and the music industry, et al, specifically in response to the viral-meme-wanna-be Chris Weingarten .

One other downfall that I forgot to mention yesterday, with regards to DJ'ing, is that the day after, I feel highly hungover. Even more so when I don't drink. Completely wrecked. And end up having the productivity levels of a sleeping goat. Like I did all day today. I'm not going to harp on again about the [...]
