I'm terrible when it comes to end of the year lists. I say it at the beginning of every year-of list I've ever written, and I'll say it again right now. The idea of compiling an entire list of the "best" music (new music at that) I've listened to over the entire year is so [...]
Gabe's (aka El Globo) favorite records from 2010 include Future Islands and Best Coast. Check it out!
Photos © Emeline Ancel-Pirouelle pour Hartzine Wavves, Le Point Ephémère, Paris, 22 novembre 2010 The Strange Boys, La Flèche d'Or, Paris, 29 novembre 2010 Sortir un lundi soir pourrait refléter une volonté masochiste de commencer la semaine sur les rotules et de la terminer sur les fémurs, mais relève bien plus souvent d'un fanatisme aigu. Deux ou trois fois que je rate les Strange Boys à Paris, et plusieurs mois que j'attends Wavves - alors lundi ou pas, semaine chargée ou pas, fin de week end difficile [...]

Sind das jetzt schon 39? Und warum fehlen Menomena, Caribou, The Drums, Titus Andronicus und warum ist ein Lied von The Rural Alberta Advantage dabei, das eigentlich erst 2011 erscheint?

Sharon Van Etten "Love More" ::: photo by Josh Lovseth If my 2010 was a mix tape (or a couple mix tapes as it were), these would be the tracks. These were the songs that were my most frequent and adored companions of 2010. They're the songs I'll know the words to for the rest of [...]
The Mallard There was so much good music coming out of the Pacific Northwest this year, it was hard to avert my eyes and ears to listen to albums released outside of our cloudy corner of the world. But when I did, these were the artists and albums that I enjoyed most. I know it seems [...]
I know all of my readers know the score: I'm from California (where it was 85 degrees yseterday) but currently in Brighton (where it's balls cold all year long). And it's the holidays, so I'm fleeing this cold arctic winter place for the milder climate, but I thought I'd pay tribute to England via a [...]
2010 has been a pretty fun year for music. Every year, I discover more music, better music, and sometimes it cracks me up to see how my music taste grows and differs as the years go by, but I think 2010 has been a great year for new bands and kickass albums. I've compiled my [...]
I was basically the worst person at SXSW this year, and instead of doing what I was supposed to do, just had a good time. I mean, it was totally worth it, but I super slacked off. And last night I was organizing some stuff, and I found these old videos. This year, we had [...]
It's finally that time, y'all and we'll start rolling out all our end of year coverage and this year we're starting with my top 10 gigs of the year. I saw a lot of great music this year, and practically no shitty music, which I think is a decided improvement upon 20092s showing. 2010 brought [...]
February 'round these parts in Denver are a bit glum. The sun shines, but the cold weather lingers until April. A perfect getaway and a possible jump on spring break is available that puts music, fun, sun, in three consecutive days. The Bruise Cruise sets sail from Florida to the Bahamas Feb 25-28th. Check below for more details! Black Lips-Short Fuse [mp3] Vivian Girls-Damaged [mp3] Bruise Cruise 2011! Bruise Cruise Festival is a rock 'n' roll music extravaganza aboard the Carnival [...]
Monotonix 's calendar has been pretty packed ever since they released their debut, Where Were You When It Happened? , in 2009. Tour dates in North America, Europe, and Australia took up most of last year, while 2010 was largely spent working on their upcoming second LP, Not Yet. Now Montonix are ready to show off what they've been working on when they hit the road next year. We already reported on their tour dates for the rest of 2010 , but a couple of special shows have been added since then. The Tel [...]
Woah! There's TWO amazing free shows tomorrow night. The first and foremost is Titus Andronicus and So So Glos at Bar Matchless. Bar Matchless is TINY. Really, really tiny. You have to RSVP through Facebook. I don't use Facebook anymore so I can't really tell, but I think the RSVP might be full. But it's probably worth showing up anyways to see if you can squeeze in. I mean, Titus Andronicus and The So So Glos in a tiny, tiny bar? It's going to be INSANE. On the other hand, it might be easier and just as musically worthwhile to [...]
photography by purpleplaid Baby Please Don't Go is a song that was originally recorded by Big Joe Williams (what a voice man!) way back in 1935. I've heard various versions before (oddly not the mainstream ones) and thought it would be great to share some of them. These are just the covers that I think are cool either because I like the sound of it or because of the unique take on it. I've also tried to keep it in order of release (more or less). I have about 3 [...]

The season of MidPoint is upon us, and it's got me really excited. Through the years the MidPoint Music Festival has been a reason for excitement for music fans around the midwest, but this year, the reasons to get excited are more than usual, and it's not just the lineup that has us drooling. Music. Of course, the first thing on our radar is the bands. And this year, it's as close to a perfect storm of musical talent MPMF has ever assembled. Here are the ingredients for the perfect storm.

[mp3] Those Darlins: "Night Jogger" There's not much that can keep this band down. After a debilitating arm break (when's the last time you broke a bone? It sucks. Check out the X-ray above.) Those Darlins have rebounded with a new 7" and a slew of tour dates with The Strange Boys, and Gentleman Jesse. The gals, and Linwood, return to NYC undaunted this Thursday for a headlining slot at Bowery followed up by a return engagement on Saturday at Brooklyn Bowl, where Stark will be on-hand to partake in the revelry.
