![[Introducing] – Don Ryan](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4051896_lg.jpg)
Tweet The debut album "Tangle Town" by Don Ryan begins with a sampling of crackling records from perhaps some long ago Tin Pan Alley recording, then shoots into the raucous "This Town" . Specializing in a heady gumbo of experimental Alt-Folk with psychedelic leanings, Ryan conjures a world that has become a sort of deranged, dark circus. Ryan proclaims "this town is burning down" to the tune of handclaps and chimes giving the statement more of a celebratory feel than [...]
With all Jason Pierce has been through over the past two decades, it's a wonder he's still alive. Even more miraculous: His band, Spiritualized, is still together. Even though his drug-heavy da... Continue reading "Spiritualized, Olivia Tremor Control and Other Show Announcements" >

Words, videos and photos by Brendan Sullivan This past year, I witnessed somewhere between 80 and 90 concerts, depending on your definition of what qualifies as a "concert" and also on my list-making abilities and forgetfulness. I can't think of any that I genuinely hated. I can think of some that were lackluster, some that I had high hopes for that let me down, some that were fun at the time but leave me with nothing stellar to write about now, and some that were really good but didn't quite make the grade.

Thee American Revolution - Blow My Mind mp3from forthcoming 5 December rerelease ofBuddha ElectrostormonFire RecordsWe're not really sure how to handle this one, other than with our ears, which are most assuredly pleasured thereby.

As we learned last month, the All Tomorrow's Parties festival is finally set for March 9-11, 2012. The festival was originally scheduled to take place in December, but was postponed due to "a set of extremely unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances." It will still take place in Minehead, England and feature Jeff Mangum, The Magnetic Fields,
Overall, there is much to admire and frown upon in equal measure when it comes to Dusk at Cubist Castle and, more especially, Black Foliage . There are a lot of question marks surrounding the reissue of both of the Olivia Tremor Control's lauded mid-to-late '90s albums: Music from the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle and Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One. For starters, both albums are being released solely on double vinyl - while the format is certainly undergoing a renaissance, this is hardly a way to get albums that have been out-of-print [...]
I'll likely not get an excuse to shoehorn The Olivia Tremor Control into the blog until this time next year, so what the heck, let's squeeze them in. The Olivia Tremor Control are another one of those bands I hadn't thought about in ages, until a few months ago when I heard there was new material on the way. That sent me scurrying to listen to their back catalogue again for the first time in a long time, and wonder why I'd let them slip my mind so much. Dusk At Cubist Castle and Black Foliage are [...]

Olivia Tremor Control/photo by David Greenwald Download an Olivia Tremor Control bootleg: NPR recorded the reunited psych-pop heroes at New York club Le Poisson Rogue this week. The mix is messy and the band's not getting any younger, but it sounds better than their FYF set . [ NPR ] Wilco played a one-hour set for Letterman : You can watch it online. I also interviewed the band for Drowned in Sound . [ NY Magazine ] Guided by Voices recording reunion album: [...]
by Rachel Kowal The metronome at an earlier show on the tour ( more by Tim Griffin ) Given the number of reunion tours that have come through over the past few years, it can be hard to keep track of just who's together and who's defunct for good. When I told a friend what bands I went to see at Le Poisson Rouge last night (9/21), his eyebrows wrinkled in confusion. "I thought they stopped playing like ten years [...]
Photo from Chromewaves There are some bands from the mid-902s that for one reason or another, never really found an audience outside of College Radio. Back in 1997 though, the internet wasn't quite what it is today. Modems used these things called phone landlines, and you'd reveal all of your age cards if you were to reproduce the dial-up sounds with accuracy. It went something like this . It's hard to imagine now, but I had an increasingly time-consuming internet addiction that had been in its infancy since 1994, to [...]
Frank Yang It's not especially unusual for bands active in the '90s to be doing the reunion thing these days - it's more unusual when a band who had any kind of following 15 to 20 years ago to NOT at least feel out the market for a comeback - but an extra degree of excitement is warranted when you're talking about the Elephant 6 collective. Now granted, when you're talking about a scene as broad and loose as E6 was/is, it can be argued that it never went away and sure, Of Montreal [...]
