Monday Music's the one weekly post in which SOIWT dispenses with its London-only rule, and goes global. Here's this week's instalment: The Sandwitches - The Pearl And first for a musical sound unlike anything you've ever heard, courtesy of Hardly Art records. There's flickery feedback and a musty distant feel, like an illicit long-player recording from the 1940s; there are vocals so warbly that mums across the land will sing along; and there are tremulous organ swirls so deliciously [...]
San Francisco's Sandwitches make enchanting country-pop for the garage-rock crowd.
11.David Thomas Broughton - Ain't Got No Sole The first song we heard from DTB's fantastic album, and perhaps the poppiest of the lot. Catchy, unusual and immensely hummable. 12.Kurt Vile - Baby's Arms Another album from which it is tricky to extricate just one song as a highlight, but for some reason I'm giving this the nod above Jesus Fever or Puppet to the Man . I think it's the most late night and glass of red winey song on the album, but it's close. 13.The [...]

So, ta-daaah, here we go, what all right-thinking people have been enjoying most this year. And if you haven't been enjoying these most this year, then dammit, what do you do when I tell you what opinions to have about music, ignore me? Surely such a thing is inconceivable. As those of you who listened to last week's podcast, where I played two songs from the more forgotten albums on my first ever Albums of the Year list (2004), I am actually more fascinated by these lists in retrospect than at the time. Looking [...]
The time has come for me to regurgitate an entire years worth of music on to the digital table so you can pick through the mess and see what I liked and possibly find something you missed or something you agree with or something you've never heard of and suddenly like. As usual there are [...]
Here is the promised second half of my favorite 50 tracks of 2011. If you happened to be within earshot of me at all this year, I want you to know that I am in no way sorry for the amount of airtime these 25 tracks got. Although what I am sorry for is the ridiculous amount of embedded youtube videos on here. I wasn't feeling particularly creative and I didn't feel like getting blacklisted :X … 25 Earth Girl Helen Brown :: "I Walked All Night" [...]
It's been a banner year for Hardly Art. Seemingly back-to-back-to-back-to-back fantastic albums filled out a year capped of by the Gem Club album Breakers, a truly somber bit of orchestration. To celebrate the festive days cluttering up the calender before the inevitable turn towards 2012, the good folk at Hardly Art sent over a list [...]
Sorry the blogging has been a bit on the lean side lately but pretty much all the free time has been occupied playing bass in the bands I'm in. My friend Chris Nickey and I played over 50 shows throughout this past year year with our band Chris And Tommy's Good Time Folk Rock Show and now we're closing out 2011 in a big way with our first show at Philadelphia's renowned Tin Angel. Come on out and help us celebrate on Friday December 30th. Grab a nice dinner downstairs at Serrano restaurant [...]

Two years ago, I ran a series of guest posts from people involved in Irish music featuring their top 5 Irish acts at that moment. This time around, I thought I'd shift the focus to international and ask a similar question -
The Verdi Club will be hosting fantastic events two Saturdays in a row. This Saturday, December 3rd, will feature the Bay Brewed (sorry, couldn't resist). And next Saturday, December 10th, Dusty Stax and the Bold Italic have put together a very special event in the spirit of the holiday . This Winter Formal Dance will feature classy attire and a plethora of local garage rock musicians: Over the summer, Dusty Stax's "Let Her Dance" took San Francisco back in a time machine for a huge celebration of '60s soul. [...]
Parte domani sera il tour italiano delle Sandwitches , band di San Francisco nata tre anni fa da Grace Cooper e Heidi Alexander, già backing vocals per Fresh & Onlys, e dalla batterista Roxy Brodeur. Il giro è quello di Sonny & The Sunsets, Mantles e il resto della balotta della città californiana, ma il suono delle Sandwitches punta in una direzione meno strettamente garage e più barocca. La label le presenta come "a Holy Communion of Roky Erickson and Stevie Nicks", e io sottolinerei anche una predilezione per certi toni più cupi, come la versione teatrale e ironica [...]
I love this video because I feel like I could actually make this. With less sweet drawings. Sophia Mcinerney is the genius behind this video. High five, lady. It's for The Sandwitches "Benny's Memory Palace" off the Pearl 73 . via GvsB .
As the trio kicks off a European tour, The Sandwitches have also released two new music videos. In "In the Garden," from Mrs. Jones' Cookies , the trio takes the stage at Esta Noche for a mood-lit, choreographed dance performance. The fun animated video for "Benny's Memory Palace," which you can watch below, accompanies the B-side to the band's new 73. Karaoke fans: when was the last time an indie video had "following the bouncing ball" lyrics included? (via Gorilla vs. Bear ) [...]
If you're anything like us, you can't get enough of the three San Diego ladies behind the Sandwitches and the stunning, yearning, Southern Gothic folk-pop they've crafted effortlessly on their 2011 full-length Mrs. Jones' Cookies and the myriad miscellaneous tracks they've released this year.

I'm hardly shy in my love of The Sandwitches, the amazing all girl neo-country rock band from San Francisco. "In The Garden" is taken from the band's newest album Mrs. Jones' Cookies , and the accompanying video is a rather surreal take on the already dark tune. There's a man in nun's attire. That's probably all that needs to be said. You can order a copy of Mrs. Jones' Cookies from Endless Nest . [ via ] The Sandwitches "In The Garden" from Ryan Browne on [...]
The ladies from our favorite SF band the Sandwitches get down in director Ryan Browne 's delightfully Lynchian new video for " In the Garden ," taken from the band's latest excellent full-length, Mrs. Jones' Cookies . The perfect visual accompaniment for the song's dark, bewitching vibes. The girls also released this charming animated clip for " Benny's Memory Palace ," taken from their new Hardly Art 73 single , The Pearl . Created/directed by Sophia McInerney [...]
